| Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. | |||

| == concerning your comments towards me at == | |||
| Since they closed the discussion I can't respond to your comments at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents there. Obviously if you don't understand what something even is, you can't determine if its article should be deleted or not, so TPH nominations were wrong. You then bring up something from 3 years ago, where the AFD for an article ended in a snow keep. "And why did you feel qualified to resist the rewrite of the History of quaternions article pablo 13:14, 5 September 2012 (UTC)" Resist the rewrite? You mean, resist the total deletion of the article after it ended in snow keep? I undid the replacement of the article with a redirect, since the AFD ended in snow keep, I did not get involved at all in the rewrite. Why would you bring something three years old and totally unrelated up at all? ] 04:25, 6 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| : Disappointing to see several editors piled on to try to argue against Dream, all of whom seemed to assume he doesn't understand Lagrangian–Eulerian advection. I guess its as Dream's too cool to always express himself with the prescision of an elite egghead. Or maybe its as deletionists are just too selective in what they like to study to know that by far the most common use for this sort of algorithm is to generate particle physics for computer games. Don't forget Dream is one of our most respected gameing specialists! | |||
| :This isnt really about games of course, but about deletionists who want to destroy what ever they don't like or understand, regardless of the harm this does to the encylopedia, to interested readers, or to the editors who have laboured to create our articles. | |||
| :You know, while I often don't understand where youre coming from, Ive noticed over the years that you have a nicely developed sense of style. I don't think you really belong with the deletionists. Why not join the rescue squad? You could hang with the cool kids such as Dream, the Colonel and Milowent! ] (]) 13:01, 6 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::@Dream Focus: I will try and explain. Your comment, "Those who studied this in college and understand it are the only ones that should be deciding if any articles don't belong here."{{sup|{{diff|Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|prev|510909003|diff}}}} seems an odd one, given that you are taking part in the decision-making process for an eclectic range of stuff — at least some of which you clearly know nothing about. Your knee-jerk reversion of amendments to the quaternions article (while it was in the process of being rewritten by people who ''do'' understand them is just another example, albeit an old one. Then again, Misplaced Pages has no requirement to be consistent in one's thinking.<br />I do think that you are wrong, or at least not entirely correct, about who should edit which articles, though.<br />@FeydHuxtable: Your musings often cause tea to splutter over my keyboard, and the last couple of sentences very nearly did just that. Although Milowent seems OK.<br /> However, and perhaps more seriously, I don't think of myself as belonging "with the deletionists." Or the "inclusionists." I think the sort of ] polemic DF has on his user page and you keep spouting (eg {{oldid|Misplaced Pages talk:Article Rescue Squadron%23Question|510351404|here}}) is divisive and unhelpful. ] 15:18, 6 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :::A shame, youd have been a great addition to the Squad. Few tried harder to avoid divisiveness than Obama in his first few years and that didnt play out so well, sometimes its unavoidable. But maybe youre right, and certainly its good there are some editors who think reasonable compromise is always possible. ] (]) 15:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :::: I'm not a big joiner. But if you are worried about membership figures at the ARS (and perhaps you should be - I can think of at least two excellent article rescuers who, while still carrying out the same sort of edits, no longer wish to be identified or associated with the group) consider this: it is entirely possible that people are put off 'joining' due to the sort of language that the members use– your and DF's constant barbed comments about deletionists for example. (And A Nobody's fake-polite, fake-sincere childish parroting of comments back to the original commenter with the word order partly reversed, Benjiboi's disingenuous "archiving" of any unfavourable materials from ], relentless self-publicity and sockpuppeting, Ikip's aggressive ad-hominem battleground debating style ... ) ] 15:59, 6 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Neither A Nobody or Benjiboi have edited in over two and a half years. . I don't see Ikip around much either. And have I made any comments about deletionists in awhile now? Originally certain people identified themselves and their methods by that manner. Now it no longer applies. As for something that happened years ago, as I said, I saw an article that ended in snow keep being replaced by a redirect, and reverted it. If it was in the process of being rewritten, well I certainly didn't know that, and they should've rewritten it before trying to redirect it, or better yet done so in the article itself as they eventually did. ] 16:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
| {{od}} I am well aware of ]. I mentioned those particular editors because theirs were the ] recently. No further comment on your actions — you clearly run on a different form of logic to me. And if you think Benjiboi isn't editing, you could well be wrong. ] 19:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
