Philippines at the Special Olympics World Games

I see that you marked Philippines at the Special Olympics World Games for speedy deletion as a “test” page. The only reason I can see why you might have marked it as a “test” page is if you thought the author had created it for the purpose of testing Template:Infobox Special Olympics World Games Philippines. Am I correct about that? Anyway I changed it from speedy deletion to proposed deletion, because your thinking on this is non-obvious. Bwrs (talk) 04:37, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Bois de Vincennes vs Vincennes forest

Hello ! I strongly agree that there can only be one article about this forest (or park). But I couldn't find any article about Vincennes, using inside Misplaced Pages search. After I corrected the spelling of Boulogne Forest however, and this became a blue link - this was when I noticed that the french name was used for both "Bois de Vincennes" in the east and "Bois de Boulogne" in the west. So just delete my article. But if You could link a Misplaced Pages search of "Vincennes forest" pointing at "Bois de Vincennes"-article then it would be great ! (Searching "Boulogne forest" points to "Bois de Boulogne" already). Best reguards Boeing720 (talk) 11:07, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

St Peter's

Did you deliberately restore a copyvio version that I had rewritten free of copyvio? If you thought my version contained copyvio then you should have retagged it, not restored the version that undoubtedly contained the original copyvio. Why do you think stubbifying to remove copyvio is wrong? DGG ( talk ) 00:25, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I did. Stubbifying the article does not remove the copyvio out of the article history. Too easy to restore that. So I just want to get the article removed, unless you know better ways of destroying the copyvio. Night of the Big Wind talk 01:54, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Even in you last version the copyvio is still present in the history. Night of the Big Wind talk 01:56, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

A big NPT update

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:

coding

  • Fixes for the "moved pages do not show up in Special:NewPages" and "pages created from redirects do not show up in Special:NewPages" bugs have been completed and signed off on. Unfortunately we won't be able to integrate them into the existing version, but they will be worked into the Page Triage interface.
  • Coding has been completed on three elements; the API for displaying metadata about the article in the "list view", the ability to keep the "patrol" button visible if you edit an article before patrolling it, and the automatic removal of deleted pages from the queue. All three are awaiting testing but otherwise complete.

All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.

Stuff to look at

We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.

I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.

I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 17:17, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Theories of humor

Always nice to see someone else agree with me on a possibly iffy vandalism call. Meters (talk) 01:30, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Theories of humor does not cover section blanking. Night of the Big Wind talk 01:35, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
He should make another edit... Night of the Big Wind talk 01:37, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Another IP (actually the one who made the first deletion, but from same range and school so prob same guy) inserted a batch of dubious tags a few days ago. I guess the approach is to label as dubious and then return a few days later to delete? I'll check the listed refs but I know I've heard one of the theories before and I have absolutely nothing to do with this topic. Meters (talk) 01:51, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
It's a mess. One account added a new theory to the article, based on his own paper, and is trying to get competign theories removed from teh article. I suspect the two IPs are the same guy since they have virtually identical edit paterns. Meters (talk) 02:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
You should ask for page protection to get the time to clear this out. Night of the Big Wind talk 02:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Warned the user and the IPs, and threw some info on it on the talk page for now. I don't have enough experience to know if this is really as bad as I think, but it sure seems like it is. Meters (talk) 03:46, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Outdent. Meters and I think that the section Mimetic Theories should be deleted. If you agree, can you please post to that effect at Talk:Theories_of_humor#New_section_on_Mimetic_Theory.--Gautier lebon (talk) 05:19, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your input here. Did I do something wrong when I mentioned his name? He self-identified as the author of the paper, and his name is on the first page of the PDF copy he links to.
I've now identified 3 definite IPs hes using, 2 more almost certain, and a sixth likely. Meters (talk) 06:53, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Yes, you should not mention his name when he uses a nickname. That is a breach of WP:OUTING and that can cause you a lot of trouble.
That he uses different IPs, does not say much. Mobile internet uses different IPs all the time. You should look to accounts. If you can see that he misuses multiple accounts, you can request a sockpuppetinvestigation. Night of the Big Wind talk 10:35, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:Tincture

In repairing the disambiguation from this template, you linked incorrectly to Azure (color) instead of Azure (heraldry). The former article is about the HSV color wheel, and not about coats of arms or flags. You may need to correct quite a number of other changes, if you have been repairing the 400+ lionks that were broken by the recent move of Azure. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

No, I have only tried to repair the template. No other involvement in Azure. Night of the Big Wind talk 17:29, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:Films inspired by Mallammana Pavaada

Sir, I have created the templete Template:Films inspired by Mallammana Pavaada by making the reference of Template:Films inspired by Manichitrathazhu. The details are available in the table of Mallammana Pavaada i.e., Mallammana Pavaada. May I know why this templete is proposed for deletion? — Vijethnbharadwaj  15:20, 9 April 2012

As you said: full details are available in "Mallammana Pavaada". A navigation template is, in my opinion, superfluous. See also: Not Everything Needs A Navigationtemplate. Night of the Big Wind talk 12:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Sir, As you have told that "Not Everything Needs A Navigationtemplate", you are suppose to delete Template:Films inspired by Manichitrathazhu also. Because, it is also the same case. Even in Manichitrathazhu page, all details are available. If you delete Template:Films inspired by Mallammana Pavaada and you retain Template:Films inspired by Manichitrathazhu, it will be a kind of biasism right? Because even in the case of Manichitrathazhu page, all details are available and a templete is created by taking the information available as the reference. — Vijethnbharadwaj  00:07, 14 April 2012

Edit war at Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly election, 2012

Dear Night of the Big Wind:

Would you like to take a look at an unproductive edit war that has developed at this article? You had contributed with a few dablinks to this article recently. Thanks. mukerjee (talk) 16:06, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

How am i at an edit war? I have replied to each and every instance of discussion...there was 2 weeks without reply to build consensus (i removed the table after sometime and moved to his sandbox when he said it was not ready and even deleted my own table template as AGF) Then after 2 weeks without comment he comes back reverts it all (which, btw, going back and seeing early i did not even change his edits back till the long period, after suggesting he does so per BRD and "warring") and discusses nothing. See the talk page, each and every section. And this is not the first time (See his user page here) and the comment above yours on his page on npov additions elsewhere. Per BRD he needs to learn to discuss and im willing to piecemeal discuss changes but there is a procedure. Further this incarnation adds a 90k table that slows down reading make it difficult for readers. WP:ARTICLESIZE (also ignored by said user)
He wants to hypocritically (where he says on talk "pls do not act unilaterally; respond to other arguments as well on the talk page first" -- and then ignores that to unilaterally make his first changes and then calls for others to tell me what is wrong on his version) change everything to his version without disscussion...such large scale rewrites and content removals that were surced (when challenged at that) always need consensus discussion FIRST. He asserts something is important and then says something else is not, yet keeps the first that he agrees with and removes the second he dislikes (WP:IDONTLIKEIT)...and see the talk page, i do accomodate and i do come to agreement through discussion. (stuff like Talk:Association for Democratic Reforms is not constructive either). Also where was my "threat" of starting a war? Please see the talkpage and tell me how im not attempting a uselful discussion. where i have previously discussed and dissected every small edit...from 13 to 29 March there was no discussion from him yet a revert follows.
Talk:Uttar_Pradesh_legislative_assembly_election,_2012#Changes_needed_in_the_article I have discussed every single issue here...see there what happened from the 13 March correspondence to the 26 March one (he doesnt bother to reply to my attempts at talk and then accuses me of arring...could you see that before accusing me too). He then says "Please give your justifications, until then I am reverting to the more up-to-date version"...how is the onus on the stable version to justify "changes"? And his wording is quite clearly not neutral with loaded terms and synthesis
Dont see why we have to take his demands to insert his version but if need be we can lick it down to the stable version and perhaps generate discussion (which ive done on EVERY occassion for every redundant talk page section he generates)Lihaas (talk) 04:12, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Further dont threaten to block (which was wexplicit as opposed to the claim of a threat to start a ewar) and further, ive restated the issues on talk which he can and should discuss there.Lihaas (talk) 05:26, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
I have warned the both of you that you should engage in a meaningful discussion. I am not taking sides or get further involved. Night of the Big Wind talk 12:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Manx Breeds

Hello Night of the Big Wind. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Manx Breeds, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not a copyvio or source is public domain or under another free compatible license. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 04:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 12

Hi. When you recently edited County Clare, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Willie Clancy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Louise Vyent

I'm fairly certain 3RR does not apply to blocked socks, correct? Fasttimes68 (talk) 18:39, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Then you should proof that it is a sock, what I doubt. But by now, it is my text. Night of the Big Wind talk 18:43, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
WP:DUCK, but I digress. I'm ok with the content. Not the sock. Regards Fasttimes68 (talk) 18:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Editwarring with a suspected duck or sock, is still editwarring. Night of the Big Wind talk 19:21, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not a "sock" and I even added the fact that she is still modeling. Why was my comment in the talk page removed by fastt? I added it back again but do not care if it is removed again. N!ghtl!ght (talk) 19:09, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Edit war clarification

Can you please clarify your recent edit summary at Louise Vyent? As far as I'm aware 3RR does not apply to indef blocked editors and their socks, thoug I admit I could be wrong. It wouldnt be the first time. Regards. Fasttimes68 (talk) 13:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I think you are running around like a maniac seeing sockpuppets everywhere. I advice you take a break from puppet-hunting because at the moment your efforts are damaging for Misplaced Pages. Night of the Big Wind talk 14:29, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
What damage? if anything im trying to prevent damage. Once again, please clarify your opinion on 3RR and indef blocked users/socks. Fasttimes68 (talk) 14:54, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
You AfD against Louise Vyent, clearly inspired by the activities of the sockpuppet and not on research about the topic. Night of the Big Wind talk 16:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 for personal attacks on Talk:Eugenics in the United States, most especially this diff. You've been blocked for PA before, and should know better.. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
