| Hi, here's my talk page. Feel free to put anything you want here. If it's here, then you can assume that I've seen it. It's my policy not to delete mostly any messages here, but please don't vandalize this page. I '''will''' revert obvious vandalism that obstructs other people's view of my page. Thanks in advance for leaving a message! The reason for this policy is that I believe comments on this page- even if it's an attack against me- offer insight into what other user's think of me. | |||
| ] 17:01, 26 May 2005 (UTC) | |||
| <s>This page has never been archived. For your reading pleasure, I don't plan to archive it.</s> Scratch that, this page is getting huge. I will blank every 100 comments, with a link to each archival copy (I want to preserve the diffs that I've often use as 'evidence'). | |||
| I reserve the right to make ''slight'' modifications to people's comments, providing that it doesn't change the meaning. I promise not to change the body of people's text, but I may sign it for them if they forgot (I'll put it in , and make a note of it somewhere). I also might move comments, or add titles to people's comments if they didn't do it themselves. Whatever I decide to change, will be an obvious modification, usually denoted by . Signing under somebody else's name '''will not be tolerated.''' Do so, and your comment will be deleted '''without consideration'''. | |||
| <center><h1>DO NOT REVERT ANYTHING ON THIS PAGE!!!</h1> <small>Unless of course you're reverting a revert</small></center> Regardless of whether somebody has vandalized this page, attacked me personally, etc., I will deal with vandalism on THIS page on a case-by-case basis. On the other hand, reverting vandalism on my userpage would be much appreciated, and I have no problems with that. My personal policy is not to delete anything unless it obstructs other people's view of this page. I believe that messages on this page- inflammatory or not- give people potentially valuable insight on the type of contributor I am on Misplaced Pages. | |||
| This page was reverted '''once'''. I didn't see any reasonable way of preserving the message, and the user modified other people's comments. | |||
| <big>To everybody who posts here: Please sign your name with four tildes (like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).</big> It makes it a lot easier for everybody (especially myself) to find out who said what. If you have something against time stamps, then I have no problem if you use three tildes, just make sure you post to the '''bottom''' of the page, so that everything is in chronological order. | |||

| ==Copyrights== | |||
| While the paladin press page might have been copyrighted I just want to say that the articles on American Dragon and Isometric exercises were not found at the sites you specified. And I think that to an extent the widespread use of those articles across the internet is proof that there is no copyright. If you run a search of the text I posted you eill find it on multiple sites. And finally while I apoligize if I violated any copyrights my only intention was to get the articles started so others could edit them.--] 23:27, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC) | |||
| I also want to add that I believe all three of my articles are important enough to deserve to be in wikipedia one being a major printg press that was invovled in a major legal battle, the other an animated television series on a major network, and the third an important exercise use by one of the most famous exercising systems of all time Dynamic Tension by Charles atlas. For those reasons i think even if my information is copyrighted you should at least leave a small stub to start off those articles.--] 23:38, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC) | |||
| When I said that I didn's copy them from the sites you specified what I meant was that they were taken from sites other than the ones you mentioned. Which means that these passages are pretty widespread across the internet especial the isometric exercise article which is word for world in a huge amount of websites.--] 00:06, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC) | |||

| If you look on his Talk: page, you'll note he was warned about this already back on December 16, 2004, so it's not like he doesn't know. As well, rather than being contrite, or suggesting he wouldn't do it again, he characterized his reverts as removing "vandalism", when he was clearly involved in an edit war. I have little patience for people who deliberately violate the 3RR, particularly when they do it with disingenuous excuses. ] | ] 23:15, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC) | |||

| A friend asked me to point out these four reverts by ] in a twenty four our period. This is only the second time I ever tattled about 3RR and the othertime was to help to add some weight to the more serious issue of personal attacks. I generally let this sort of thing slide, but my friend really would like me to report this for him. So now, here it goes: | |||

I'm still perspiring, but that article looks nth degree encyclopedic now. I had to dig like a dog - my literary cites weren't convincing. Since I also spend a lot of time on the Ref Desk, I started my own list by "web farming" & categorizing: Arts; Business; News; Law; Inflation calculators - everything I can find. I just started; tedious checking links & determining they're useful. Something I tossed 2 days ago I needed the next. Is this helpful for your project, or a wasted effort? Naturally, I didn't set the page up right: Allie/Wikipedia Reference Desk. --] 23:59, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :Sorry that the project lost momentum. Noticed that there is a Category:Reference & Category:Sources currently existing. many of my links overlap; but also found many that aren't on the list- ArtLex one example of a compendium that is valuable for fact checking. Also bumped into an error on ballet page - it's not "America Ballet Co." - it's "American Ballet Co." - and it's a video dictionary.

| Hi Frazzydee. I wonder if I could ask for your help with something. A few days ago, ] set a block on me, which I believe was inappropriate. As far as I can tell, I didn't violate any policies, and the owner of the page concerned has since affirmed my beliefs. I'm trying to discuss this with Fvw, but I'm not having much luck.

| :Thanks for your response. I don't agree that what I did was wrong, and DanP doesn't seem to think so either (I guess since it's his user page he gets the last word...). Either way, it certainly wasn't user page vandalism as currently defined. My frustration at present is more with Fvw's arrogant refusal to discuss the matter than with the block itself - although I feel wronged, I can put it in the past if we could at least talk about it. Sorry - not your problem, I know. Anyway, thanks again for your comments, though I respectfully disagree. - ] 22:19, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Hi: Are you familiar with citing reference sourcework? I just made my 1st edit change, and my information contradicts what's in the article on Sylvester Graham. How do I check this? My reference is pretty good, I think: It's an Oxford Companion Encyclopedia. Also, I would be very interested to know what kinds of guidelines you use for plagiarism? Is listing a reference book enough? This is a sticky wicket with me, and I am very particular about this. Thank you, new user Otto. --] 21:56, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ->Thanks! Appreciated all those links & your double-check; it was very thoughtful, as it appears you are a busy person. I like the way you footnoted, but unfortunately, it's not on my special pages link. | |||
| ->You shouldn't have to do my work for me... | |||
| ->Ergo, my second question: Is there a magic place in the Misplaced Pages where I can read up & find out about citations, how to footnote, and how not to become Template:Unreferenced? The Manual of Style doesn't say ''how'' (Hot dang! ''Italics!'') or ''where'' to put refs in the article you're working on?!?! It seems silly to have to double-check without them. | |||
| ->What do you do? Look for well-polished writing and then think, hmmm...I'd better check this? That sounds like a double-negative to me. Then only sloppy, careless writing is rewarded, yet someone who does a lot of research and spends the effort to write an excellent piece (say, offline in Word) would be suspect, because a whole page suddenly appeared out of the blue. Hmph. | |||
| ->I did stumble across the page on Misplaced Pages where you were determining what to do about referencing. Are you the coordinator, and may I become involved? or am I too new? | |||

| '''Who are we? Why are we here?''' I'm not speaking of the entire project or our grand mission, only of the small group of regulars who work within TfD. What are we doing here? | |||
| Each one of us will have a different answer to that question; so to guide us in our efforts, we have a written process. Process should not act as a straitjacket, but as a way for us to agree to respect each other's differing views. | |||
| If all of us had the same exact opinion on each template, there would be no need for the ] page -- not in its present form, at any rate. We would each individually mow down templates we found insupportable, and log the deletions. ''No need'' for debate, ''no need'' for discussion. And since we would all be in perfect agreement, we would have strong justification for refusing to hear appeals from other members of WP. | |||
| '''But it is not so.''' I think {{tl|widget}} should stay and {{tl|blivet}} should go; ] thinks {widget} should go and {blivet} stay. Sometimes, we can discuss these issues and find a meeting ground. Maybe I can accept some changes to {widget}, with which El Supremo can tolerate its continued presence. But what do we do when after a week of wrangling, I still say "Widgets forever!" and El Supremo grunts, "Blivets or death!" -- what then? | |||
| Our process specifies that after seven days on TfD, if consensus is not reached, the nominated template is free to go -- the matter is over. We also say that a template should not be renominated for a month, if then. No good purpose is served by chewing old bones. | |||
| Recently, the nominated template {{tl|divbox}} came to the end of its seven-day roasting. There was considerable controversy, a more or less even split of opinions (4 delete to 3 keep), and certainly nothing approaching consensus, or even overwhelming majority. Our process says {divbox} goes free, and that's the end of the matter -- at least, the end for this month. Those determined to keep a dog in the fight may do so on ]. | |||
| Shortly after I removed the offending listing and carefully began to archive all its debate -- not merely the debate within the TfD workflow, but wherever I could find a scrap of it -- a certain user, without discussion of any kind so far as I know, restored {divbox} to the TfD page '''and''' simultaneously juggled the entire contents of the page, including our written process guidelines. '''Am I the only one in this project who finds this a bit questionable?''' | |||
| * -- here is an excerpt: | |||
| :"It is also possible that no concensus has been reached. '''''Action: Remove template from this page entirely. Copy the entire discussion to template's Talk page. Remove <nowiki>{{tfd}}</nowiki> tag from template's main page.''''' ("Disputed" subsection deprecated.) Absent concensus, the disputed template is kept." | |||
| : I have to disclose that it was I who wrote the text of this section, as part of a complete cleanup of the page, including explicit workflow process. The cleanup stood unchallenged througout the recent heated debate over {divbox} -- nobody found it offensive or even felt a need to correct my misspelling of "consensus" -- but now that it permits {divbox} release from jail, it must '''all''' be destroyed. (!?) | |||
| : This process, too, is subject to change -- but have we come to the point where we are permitted to change our guidelines for how we work ''at the same time as'' we cite our changes to process as justification for what we do? | |||
| If we have come to the point where everything is ''up for grabs'', please let me know, and I will start work on Jimbo's home page, VfD, CfD, RfC, RfA, and all the other pages which '''manage the way we manage''' the work we do. If I don't need to discuss any of my changes before making them, then why should I? And if someone disagrees with me, why should I not alter existing process to make his disagreement '''illegal'''? | |||
| If we have '''not''' come to that point, and we still cling to shreds of social fabric, then I ask you to take whatever action you think necessary to hold those shreds together, and allow me to return to the work I do best -- making things that work for us all.

| do ? Just curious :) -]|] 22:52, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| : Ah. The unfortunate side effect of processing a page. The time that it takes for Sandbot to get a page and process it has a lag time of about a minute or so. Therefore, when it attempts to re-enforce the existing header, the page in its cache is stale. I'm thinking a way to revert that. --] ] 23:05, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :: Ah... I found the problem... The lag time is due to the fact that it gets two pages in a row. I moved it, so that it will attempt to process and post immediately. Hopefully, the bot won't run into that problem again. --] ] 23:12, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == Fact and Reference Check == | |||
| Hi Frazzydee, | |||
| Excellent work on the Fact and Reference checks and organization, esp. the article on Titan's Moon and now the current one on the ]. I'll take a look at the formatting for each of these and try out doing some fact checks :). It is good we have a format in place to get it rolling and people will realize they can do referencing and start doing it to all articles. I think the momentum is starting to pick up. | |||
| As well, I notice that the list of members in FARC is organized by when they joined. Would a less POV version be alphabetic? We want new members to feel as important as old members, so we can get them working :P. | |||

| Yes, I'm trying to do this right now. I'm still learning how to do it all. But thanks for the offer. | |||
| == deleted page == | |||
| Thanks for the message. I remember moving the page to his User space from something like 'Template:Not notable', but I'd not normally delete anything in user space unless the creator asked for it to be. (Why didn't he use 'subst'?) | |||
| I've been cutting my Watchlist, but it's still 2,364 pages... Yes, I need to cut it a ''lot'' more if I'm going to retain any sanity. ] (] 22:47, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == LupinBot == | |||
| Hi, please unblock my IP address. I think it is unreasonable to put an indefinite ban on my IP address simply because I was unaware that I had to get permission to run a bot (which was only uploading images). | |||
| I will not run the bot until I have completed the necessary bureaucratic processes. ] 00:19, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ==Spoken== | |||
| I'll be getting a mic soon, but my voice is pretty bad. You can contribute in the way I have, by editing others' contributions to delete weird pauses, or stutters, or anything that can clean up the speech. For an example, see the original and updated links at the bottom of the ]; I got rid of 35 seconds of weird pauses, etc. You might try doing the ] audio file for a test. Just make sure you reencode it at the same kbps so that there isn't too much loss. As for the template, this was a consensus/compromise between myself, Raul654, and some of the other Spoken Misplaced Pages members, who all agree that it is fine. It might be a little redundant, but we're trying to increase the project popularity, so maybe we can consider changing this when we get a lot more people and articles. --]] 02:08, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Greetings. I appreciate the friendly way you initiated my co-workers, whom I have just introduced to Misplaced Pages. You know them as 143.158.254.228, which is actually a proxy, though you will not be surprised to discover one of them is named ''Nerge''. They are aware of the sandbox, but they were not really testing to see if they could edit articles, but rather how fast their obvious jokes and vandalism would be reverted. Your excellent response time amazed them. One of them is watching me write this and is threatening me with an umbrella. | |||

| You unblocked the ] and then falied to reblock them. I have reinstaded a week long block, hopefully within that time it can be shown whether or not the user is a sock or copycat, and a longer block can be enforced. I should also add that if you looked thorugh the user history and at the other socks you would have noticed that both the previous socks were blocked indefinately quite soon after creation (on the same day, within a few hours), given this and the obvious similarities between this new version of said sock I don't think my original block was unresonable. --] 01:53, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Hi there! Because the RFC about Xiong seemed to deal mainly on his disagreements with Netoholic, I thought it best to start a new RFC to see if people have comments on Xiong's behavior that do not relate to Netoholic.
