Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 19:12, 12 June 2007

What do you think?

I've finished the Gracenotes' RfA story, and you can view it here. Since this is my first story, I'd like your opinion on how I can improve on it. Thanks! Sr13 02:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Do you mean a follow-up story? Sr13 04:48, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I will definitely have time! I just wasn't sure that the chat will conclude on Monday. Sr13 08:13, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Runcorn

I've got the biographies and Night Gyr covered (mostly done now), but I think I'll need to leave the Runcorn story for you to write. --Michael Snow 01:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

There's an incomplete sentence in this story, in the middle (about the similar articles created by the socks). I don't know how it's supposed to end.--ragesoss 06:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For taking the time on my RfA, you're one of few who do. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 07:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Signpost article on sockpuppeting admins

Hi. Regarding your article in the Signpost on admins desysopped for sockpuppeting, I believe that Konstable was desysopped voluntarily, albeit after the RfAr was filed. The current phrasing indicates that it was the ArbCom that voted to desysop him, which is not correct (although they did vote that he can't regain adminship without a new RfA). His activity was nowhere remotely near in the category of Henrygb or Runcorn, and it's not necessarily a foregoing conclusion that he would have been desysopped if he hadn't resigned (compare Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Deltabeignet).

Signpost--BJAODN

I'm sure that in the excellent tradition you have established of full presentation, the next issue will also mention the many issues of whether the removal was out of process, that GFDL did not apply to all the removed material, & other objections raised (I freely admit my own prejudice in all this, in opposition to the removal). Good job on the RfA.; DGG 22:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

What to do

Just recently, Gracenotes' RfA closed as not succeeding because the bureaucrats didn't (and weren't likely to) reach consensus and Gracenotes himself withdrew. Should I make a follow-up story or update the current story? Sr13 10:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Private Eye

There is a short article called 'Misplaced Pages Whispers' in this satirical British mag (no 1185) re the Giovanni di Stefano article. It is not however on the online version. Their email is strobes@private-eye.co.uk if you are curious. Ben MacDui (Talk) 19:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

In the news

I read your request at Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2007-06-04/From the editor. I'm not the greatest editor in the world, but I think I'd be able to help out with the Signpost in the area requested. Just tell me what to do, and I'll get to it if you would like. Thanks.

I hear the signpost is hiring:

I dabble around in writing... I've been working on a totally new article (which is happily sitting in an Open Office document, going absolutely nowhere at the moment) and usually do pretty good on essays and stuff. I really have no idea what I'm supposed to say... or where I'm going with this. Long story short, I can help out.

Features and admins for June 11

Hello. I saw that User:E isn't going to do the features and admins article for the Signpost. I have added a comment on the newsroom with a link to a draft I have created. Is it good enough to be used for this week's issue? Thank you. Yours truly, Eddie 16:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

J.K. Rowling

No one has claimed that the poster from Warner Brothers means anything that isn't directly obvious. It says the rebellion begins, and the comments are related to the characters actions in the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. How did you construe this to be anarchistic? Libertycookies 00:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Please see my deletions of Libertycookies's most recent edits on JK Rowling. Also, see my comments on the talk page. Libertycookies is almost certain to reinstate them, and I need confirmation from an admin that to do so would violate Misplaced Pages rules. Serendipodous 07:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

He just re-instated them, and had them removed by another editor. Please, if it is such a simple matter to block him, why has it not been done? Serendipodous 13:10, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

FYI

I threw my back out last wednesday, and have barely been able to check email, let alone do the research to put the column together. I feel like a twit, but will have something for next week; I already know of a couple things that are in the works, though not when they'll be aired yet or I'd go with them. --Thespian 16:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Signpost idea

I dont want the Signpost in my email box as it isnt a good format and I can access it easily from my user page. What I would love is a notification email of the latest Signpost without the content as I could then go to my user page and get it. I would have thought such a notification would be a good idea, SqueakBox 22:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Signpost idea

How about features on new editors? I'd be happy to go first. Best username yet 10:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

My apologies...

My story's late. :( Hopefully we can put it in next week's issue? Sr13 10:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Board election questions for possible additional Signpost article.

Re . My first 3 questions were specific to the topic of foundation economics, and my intention was to write a draft article for WP:SIGN that was subject specific. If you're not including questions about ads, branding, and the business developer, can I continue to collect answers by making it clear that my questions aren't part of your SIGN candidate interviews? If so, there may be objections to my questions similar to that against the ideological user boxes, so I also plan to ask for comments on foundation-l before submitting the draft article to SIGN (and, if accepted, as a link from wikizine).

I'd also like to help create subject specific summaries based on your other interview answers for SIGN. -- Jeandré, 2007-06-12t19:12z
