::Figured as much. I haven't been reading it regularly of late - sometimes the discussions get so tedious that I can't take it. The best for me are the sightings usually. But I still get it, and sometimes do a marathon read - you may have seen me post there from time to time. I put a fair amount of work into the Ochs wiki page a few months ago and since then have been mostly watching for vandals there while getting beat up (but still standing) on some other pages (see ] for example, if you're interested and feel free to jump in...) and working on a bunch of other stuff like Obama, and a variety of Beatles pages with the most enjoyable group of editors I've encountered on Misplaced Pages, and lots of other stuff.

:::Since a simple apology for the original sin against him won't be forthcoming, and that would, I hazard, be the only persuasive thing that might make him reconsider, the only helpful thing here would be a collective effort to write an historical essay summarizing as stringently and neutrally as possible how this punitive domino effect began, with a sockpuppet's harassment. And once sandboxed out, leave it on this abandoned page just to set the record straight, vindicate our lost editor's honour, and enable those who wonder what it was all about catch the drift in an overview. MS certainly deserves such a pittance of commemorative justice, and as a practice I don't see why it wouldn't turn out set a useful precedent for writing up cases in wikispace where bad administrative judgment can be shown to have catastrophic effects.

The surname of 'Little' was actually given to Earl by his slave masters while he was younger, therefore his true given surname is actually unknown.

I have two questions. First, had Earl Little been enslaved? (I don't think the Autobiography says so, but maybe some other source does.) If not, he inherited the name "Little" from an enslaved ancestor, and you might want to tighten up the sentence to say that. Second, I've done some editing of the slave name article, and I want to edit the Malcolm X article but I haven't had the time. If Earl Little wasn't enslaved himself, you might want to refer to "Little" as his (or Malcolm X's) "slave name" and link to that article.

Thank you for alerting me to the actual content of that message re Malcolm X. The heading for the template I used used to be accurate, I hope (otherwise I messed up before). It says "may be considered vandalism" but the actual message says "is vandalism." I did want the contributor to think about what effect filling in the blanks on what was pretty obviously an "official document" could do to the process of getting these articles evaluated. I assume that some kind of a task force is responsible for grading articles according to some predetermined standards. If they are looking around for articles to evaluate and the evaluation is already filled in they may fail to realize that it is not work that was done by somebody entitled to do that task. One article wouldn't make much difference in the long run, but what if the user makes a practice of grading ungraded articles? I fixed the contributor's talk page. ] 07:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

== Oh shit ==
You contacted me about my posts and edits. Thank you.
My source was John Amaechi's interview on WNYC here in New York; I added that at the bottom of the article. I'm not yet facile with Misplaced Pages's capacities, so I'm usually doing the minimum of typing words, without using everything to note, reference, highlight, and so on.


Some time ago I decided to focus 99-plus percent of my efforts here solely on article improvement and eschew virtually everything else. While it has no doubt saved me untold amounts of stress and ire, it obviously has its drawbacks too. Sadly I missed all of this. During my nascent days at this project, when I had quickly developed a deep disgust for adminship-culture, you stood out to me as an anomaly: a circumspect, principled individual as well as editor, who didn't view his or her bit as a phallus. (I would later come to learn, while few and far between, there were other administrators with integrity as well.) I didn't always agree with you, but I always found your character to be beyond reproach. I was equally, if not more impressed with your work as an editor; not only were you a prolific contributor, you worked daily in some of the most heated, contentious areas of the project {{ndash}} articles I wouldn't dream of working on as anything but a copy-editor. All of this, along with the egregiously mitigatory provocation, should have been given proper weight in the original case that caused you to lose your administratorship; had it been, censure should been the harshest measure even on the table. Now this; as passionate as I am about this project, there are times when I am truly embarrassed to be associated with it. I wish I had learned of this months ago, when you would have been more likely to see this message. I hope you know how valued you were here. I'm proud to have worked beside you, friend.

Hi Malik. If I deleted all the unattributed or poorly attributed information on Misplaced Pages, there'd only be 10% left. It's better to have something unsourced than improperly sourced; once you stick an improper source on something, it gives it a false semblance of legitimacy. Also, standards used to be different on Misplaced Pages, and for the first couple of years almost nothing was attributed; rather than fixing all the errors of the past, I generally try to make sure new dubious material doesn't get in, so at least the problem doesn't get any worse. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 19:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

:Well, as I said before, it's the improperly attributed information that is the most dangerous, because it gives the semblance of being true. Also, I don't necessarily read through the whole article each time, but my attention does get focussed on the area that was brought to attention via the improper attribution. And, frankly, some stuff in an article I find to be plausible, even if unsourced, while other stuff I find to be implausible, and I would be likely to delete the latter. I sometimes do delete old stuff from articles that looks implausible as well, even if it is not tagged; I've gotten some mighty objections to that as well, including in the last couple of days. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 20:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

First of all, I just wanted to say that I have been following your expansion of the article on Jewish Bible translations, and I think what you have done is exceptional. When I started the article over a year ago, I hoped it could turn into something more than just a list, namely an article that would describe different the different styles and methodologies of the various translations, their historical contexts, etc. You have added a lot of good material in that direction, with a very good sense of judgement.


== Precious anniversary ==
I have been thinking about starting another article, this time on printed Hebrew editions of the masoretic text. I have a great deal of primary and secondary material on the topic that can be used for sourcing (much more so than I had for translations). The scope of the article would be notable printed editions that had significant influence on the details of the received text, or made significant contributions to accuracy. Various editorial methodologies for transcribing and printing masoretic details would be described, as well as other unique features of important editions of the Hebrew text. This would exclude photo reprints (which might at most be mentioned in footnotes when they are particularly significant).

Warm wishes

I understand your desire to step away from a while, but I hope that you will return when the time is right for you. Thank you for all of your excellent contributions over the years. Cullen Let's discuss it 22:00, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Absolutely. Malik should never have been de-sysopped in the first place. Admins working in the I-P area need a thick skin and a quick brain – and Malik was one of the best. Malik, I hope you'll come back again some day. Best wishes, NSH001 (talk) 06:57, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Don't know what to say really, except to pitifully echo the warm thoughts expressed by others. Best wishes whatever you decide to do eventually. Pincrete (talk) 13:27, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Since a simple apology for the original sin against him won't be forthcoming, and that would, I hazard, be the only persuasive thing that might make him reconsider, the only helpful thing here would be a collective effort to write an historical essay summarizing as stringently and neutrally as possible how this punitive domino effect began, with a sockpuppet's harassment. And once sandboxed out, leave it on this abandoned page just to set the record straight, vindicate our lost editor's honour, and enable those who wonder what it was all about catch the drift in an overview. MS certainly deserves such a pittance of commemorative justice, and as a practice I don't see why it wouldn't turn out set a useful precedent for writing up cases in wikispace where bad administrative judgment can be shown to have catastrophic effects. It might teach that body to listen to the community, rather than rule it. Nishidani (talk) 15:00, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
That's an intriguing idea. Shearonink (talk) 15:02, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Mr.Malik, sorry for my bad English but I really want to say this. It was in my chest since you stopped editing. After being a volunteer and a tearless contributor for all of these years you can't just stop because of a small issue like that. If I was you I wouldn't stop. I would forget about it and move on.

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Misplaced Pages articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Misplaced Pages, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

  • Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
  • Diversity winner
  • Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Oh shit

Some time ago I decided to focus 99-plus percent of my efforts here solely on article improvement and eschew virtually everything else. While it has no doubt saved me untold amounts of stress and ire, it obviously has its drawbacks too. Sadly I missed all of this. During my nascent days at this project, when I had quickly developed a deep disgust for adminship-culture, you stood out to me as an anomaly: a circumspect, principled individual as well as editor, who didn't view his or her bit as a phallus. (I would later come to learn, while few and far between, there were other administrators with integrity as well.) I didn't always agree with you, but I always found your character to be beyond reproach. I was equally, if not more impressed with your work as an editor; not only were you a prolific contributor, you worked daily in some of the most heated, contentious areas of the project – articles I wouldn't dream of working on as anything but a copy-editor. All of this, along with the egregiously mitigatory provocation, should have been given proper weight in the original case that caused you to lose your administratorship; had it been, censure should been the harshest measure even on the table. Now this; as passionate as I am about this project, there are times when I am truly embarrassed to be associated with it. I wish I had learned of this months ago, when you would have been more likely to see this message. I hope you know how valued you were here. I'm proud to have worked beside you, friend. Best, Joefromrandb (talk) 03:25, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Yepp, still miss you, MS. Hope you are doing well, whatever you spend your time on....best wishes, Huldra (talk) 20:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Godmoma albums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
