Misplaced Pages

AN/I

Hi, regarding your recent AN/I, is that not something that should be sent straight to WP:OVERSIGHT rather than advertised on a public board? Regards, raseaC 23:35, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I think it could be considered serious. I'm not passing the buck, just figured I'd mention it to you rather than go to OS without consulting. raseaC 23:42, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I was expecting this...

...although I still think it's unfair to see another P&TF fansite listed, and accepted. I never liked Misplaced Pages for this, people make great efforts in their sites and they're never listed as references just because there's not a company behind it. Oh, well. I can understand because we just started this one, so it may still lack content, but... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.164.92.141 (talk) 10:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I was not aware there was another fansite, I shall delete it immediately.— Dædαlus 10:46, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Advertising?

And yet, Misplaced Pages IS advertising the IMDB, the NYT etc...No, big companies shouldn't have priority, sorry. But yes, the rules are the rules...Is there any way to complain over this? Any page on Misplaced Pages to fill out complaints? I'm sure we're not the only one in this case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.164.92.141 (talk) 11:31, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Baffled

Why on earth did you make this report at AVI? At the time of the report, they'd only made one edit, had recieved one warning for it, and that's it. Is there something else, sock concerns etc, that you need to me to look into? GedUK  13:06, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

RE: Taking things personally

OK, this is the last I will say on this topic, cause it is boring the hell outta me and we both have better things to do than getting in a pissing match.

Please don't say something is "my article"...I don't WP:OWN articles, I just create them. Even if it is a small stub like WBQK or a "Start" article like WINC-FM, I take great pride in my work and enjoy what I do.

I wasn't discussing religion with you, it is a figure of speech. "Running all over God's creation" is the same as saying "Running all over town". No religious involvment, just a little southern twang added.

To be big point of your post...my rudeness. I do believe we both were being rude and snapping at each other. I don't think either of us were being particularly nice to one another and we were both being pretty territorial. I personally don't think bringing up two uninvolved blocks was necessary, whatever...but we were both being rude and snapping back. I think we both owe each other an apology. Let me start...I'm sorry. Should have said it last night, but normally I get stuck in my headstrong ways I won't back down from something. Normally it takes sleep to give fresh eyes.

I do believe you could have made three bad mistakes, but it still worries me. You are a good editor, whether you like me anymore or not, you are. It would worry me if any good editor started goofing up. What I should have done is asked if you needed someone to talk to, not crawl in your ass (another figure of speech, kinda like saying jumping down your throat) for something that was taking care of quite quickly.

I have been on a Wikibreak for the past couple months. It has served me well. A few editors emailed me and asked me to come back, at their asking, and a couple people on my talk page, I did. I am still in semi-retirement cause I am not ready to be fully back, maybe one day. So I have been on a personally mandated Wikibreak. It does give fresh eyes.

But whether you don't like me anymore, that is no sweat of my back. If ya do, ya do, if ya don't, ya don't...it doesn't bother me. Hell, if me and a good friend did that everytime we disagreed or got snippy, we wouldn't be Facebook buddies. But if you never like me again, it really doesn't bother me, just don't let it consume you. Another user and I used to HATE each other and now we have a working relationship, wouldn't call it a friendship, but we can talk without pouncing on each other immediately.

Hopefully this explains somethings...need something spoken upon a little better, I will make an attempt to, but in less words....these long posts are hard to type and even harder to read. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 15:34, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit summaries are not discussion

Rather than these snippy edit summaries, you could have taken this to talk yourself. Without a test case, exactly how are people supposed to surmise what you mean by "it mixes with text"? Edit summaries are not discussion pages: they are easily missed and impossible to properly reply to. If you want to put something on talk explaining exactly what's broken I'll be happy to help, but the world did not seem to explode last month when the template was edited.

Please don't bite

I'm stunned at your attempt to CSD the Drolz comment page. No names are mentioned. In your original MfD, it is clear you misunderstood the page. It wasn't a collection of statements by Drolz, it was a collection of statements hurled at Drolz. I don't think the vitriol has reached the level that pages need deletion, but if anyone should be admonished it is the person making the statements, not the target. Drolz is still a relative newcomer, and the MfD and CSD look like classic examples of WP:BITE. Has anyone (other than myself) tried to help Drolz understand what should and should not be on a user page? Looks to me like some don't like his POV about GW issues, so are trying to make his life miserable. I hope I'm wring, but I don't know how one could reach a different conclusion.--SPhilbrickT 22:02, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Your comment on Sphilbrick's talkpage, Dae. "How would you like it, if I took several things you said, out of context, posted them to my userpage, and said they were amusing? How would you like it, if, after you requested I remove said quotes, I denied your request, several times." This seems to be the real crux of the issue: that is, Viriditas doesn't like what I am doing. Just like he didn't like that I initially quoted him in the Climategate discussion and showed that his comments were incompatible with his adamant opposition to splitting the page. I don't like that he aggressively threatened me with blocking any time I tried to make improvements to that page (Which is a disaster, currently, but one that Viri and the three or four other editors who own the page like). I also don't like that a page about a developing issue has been locked, which seems totally absurd to me. Why is it that things Viriditas doesn't like translate into administrative action against me? Why should I just do whatever this user tells me to? Drolz 02:27, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
