Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:53, 1 June 2013

Buffy re-writes

Hey there. I haven't been active on WP at all for some time (leaky bucket syndrome got me down) but I did just notice that some guy called Gen. Quon has completely re-arranged and re-written lots of Buffy pages, including the Adam page you and I worked so hard on. I noticed, too, that you haven't objected. Have you given up hope, or do you think he did a good job? I think your work was far superior (it's all back to "character arc" and that sort of crap). Do you want to do anything about it, or are you content to let it be? Hope you've been well, by the way. I did leave him a not saying "Updated since my last visit" is not an appropriate edit summary.--TEHodson 06:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm removing the material on my talk page. Misplaced Pages is ready for the next generation of editors. I will stand aside and let them at it.

Best of luck to you all. --Moni3 (talk) 21:52, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Wise. I'm with you, babe. Be well.--TEHodson 23:30, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

What terrible news for Misplaced Pages. Moni, you are the best of the best. I've followed your Amazing Grace article for several years. I can only hope that it will not get cluttered by this and that with no one with the expertise to question it. Maybe you would consider keeping just one or two articles under your watch? xxxooo Gandydancer (talk) 00:11, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Sigh. Your work on the Everglades was wonderful, and your clear thinking and level-headedness have been a beacon of calm around here. You'll be missed. Iridia (talk) 00:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

There is something to be said of letting go, if it's possible. My best to you and yours. It's been a blessing to know you even in this small way, through this crazy-making community. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:48, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree with everyone above, Moni. I'll try to check in on these articles from time to time, especially since I was a huge fan of the show. Flyer22 (talk) 10:50, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

I do want to state that Zythe will still be around, though. See his user page about improving Buffy the Vampire Slayer articles. Flyer22 (talk) 10:59, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Honestly, I'm not that active anymore. I should probably change my user page. Paul doesn't really go on Misplaced Pages anymore (bizarrely, I bumped into him on a street in Glasgow one time, and he said this) and I go on but I don't know if between work, a social lfie and attempting to do some writing I'll really have many projects. Clearly a lot of good stuff is coming out of editors at the moment -- a glance at the Adam article and it appears to have a really good focus. Some really talented editors at work. Zythe (talk) 13:32, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for weighing in, Zythe. Flyer22 (talk) 23:42, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

What a loss to the project. Working up Museum of Bad Art was perhaps the most fun I've had here. We'll miss you. LeadSongDog come howl! 16:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Lesbian bed death article

Hey, Moni. Just letting you know that I'm going to be significantly fixing up the Lesbian bed death article in July, finally taking it away from the point I originally took it as a rescued article. I've definitely kept your suggestions in mind, and would be glad to have you help out with the article when you can.

I'll see you around. And thanks again for your help. Flyer22 (talk) 10:43, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Still haven't gotten around to significantly fixing up this article (got sidetracked by working on a different article and elevating it to WP:GA status during that time), but I eventually will. Flyer22 (talk) 20:51, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Invasive species in Florida article?

Since you did a lot of work on the List of invasive species in the Everglades can you create a Invasive species in Florida? See also Invasive species in the United States. Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 05:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Your amazing grace is appreciated, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline.

Thank-you. 13:30, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:20, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

If you aren't yet part of WikiProject Good Articles and interested in joining WikiProject Good Articles, go here and add you name. Everyone is welcomed! This WikiProject, and the Good Article program as a whole, would not be where it is today without each and every one of its members! Thank you to all!

Until the next backlog elimination drive, please help reduce the number of nominations by reviewing articles and helping other reviewers that may need second opinions. Thanks to everyone who committed some time to help reduce the nominations backlog during the June-July 2012 backlog elimination drive. Most barnstars have been given out but there are still a few left. Participants that haven't gotten a barnstar yet should get it soon. Possible Fall/Winter 2012 Backlog Elimination Drive A discussion is currently being held on the WikiProject's talk page on weather another eliminations drive should take place within the next few months as the last one proved to be extremely successful. Please take the time to go to the the talk page and include your opinion on if you would be interested in taking part in a Fall/Winter 2012 elimination drive. Good Articles of the Month Each month, 5 random good articles will be choose to be featured here as the good articles of the month. Barry (dog) I Love Bees Miles Copeland (Home and Away) London Country North East The Daily Show Some Tips About References/Sources Having references included in articles is one of the most important aspects to a good article, let alone Misplaced Pages! Without them, no one would ever know what is true and what is false and Misplaced Pages probably wouldn't be where it is today. So this month, I will talk about how to check for references, how reliable they are, and so on and so forth. The first thing to do when reviewing an nominee is to do a quick scan of the article. One of the things to look for is if the article has references! If you don't see a list at the bottom of the article page, quick-fail it. For newcomers, quick-failing is failing an article when you spot a problem before actually conducting a full review. If you do find a list of references (and in most cases you will) make sure to look through each and every one. If you want to save some time, use this tool as it will tell you if there are any problematic references in the article you are reviewing. Next, check the reliability and type of the references/sources. In terms of the type of reference, check to see how many primary and/or secondary sources are included. Primary sources are the ones published by the subject of the article. For example, if the subject of the article has to do with the iPhone 4s and the source is published by Apple, it is considered a primary source. Secondary sources are those not published by the subject of the article (or in close relation to it). Newspapers are examples of secondary sources and considered one of the better types to include in the article (not saying primary sources are bad). If you find that most/all of the references are primary sources, notify the nominator about this issue(s) and place the article on hold once you have completed the review. Only in the event that a secondary source can't be found as a replacement, then the primary source can remain. If there is a good mix of primary and secondary sources, that is perfect and no references need to be changed. Now, reliability. Forums are generally not considered reliable and some blog's may not be reliable either. Newspapers, most sources published by the subject, some blogs, etc. are considered reliable. If you don't know wether the source is reliable, ask for a second opinion. For more info about how to identify wether a reference is reliable or not, visit this article. Finally, one of the more basic things to look for is that every statement in the article has at least one reference! The only case that a statement doesn't need a reference is when it is common sense that the statement is defiantly true and/or in the case where the statement can't be challenged, as per what Misplaced Pages says, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable published source using an inline citation."

Notes As of October 2, 2012 at 19:05 (UTC). Before quick-failing the article, verify that one of the several referencing templates is correctly placed at the bottom of the article. If the template is not placed, try to place it to see if references are displayed. If this proof returns no references, then proceed to quick-failing.

Amazing Grace et al

Moni3, I just created an user account to be able to comment on your Amazing Grace article. Previously, I read the invasive species article and was impressed by the fine work that it represents. After reading the invasive species article, I recall exclaiming to myself, "who the ---- wrote that?!?" because I thought it was one of the best articles I had ever read on the internet! This morning, I was reading your Amazing Grace research and didn't even get half way through it before a similar exclamation to my self but this time, I followed through to find the author. I think the Amazing Grace article is one of the finest pieces of literature I have ever read. I think it has immense importance as well. The hymn Amazing Grace is a piece of United States culture. Modern Americans should release their current angst about Christianity and I believe your article eloquently makes the case for the hymn as an important part of the history and culture of our country. In addition, I would strongly urge that high school teachers, students and anyone going beyond in their education hold your Amazing Grace article as a shining template of how research should be done. This article is a marvelous example of critical analysis the likes of which is seldom found anywhere, ever. Anyone wishing to "improve" upon your work is simply attempting to pat themselves on the back. Regretably, your "public" only knows you as Moni3. Should you ever desire to write and promote a book, please include a blurb on the dust jacket that your previously wrote for Misplaced Pages as Moni3 and your fans will line up for autograph copies. Normally I am not the kind to gush, but give credit where credit is due. On Misplaced Pages at least, Amazing Grace appears as your magnum opus. Thank you for all your work. dustmuffinDustmuffin (talk) 14:29, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Ah, what a great post! It makes me smile and laugh out loud remembering the first time I met Moni, first read this article, and such. I think it was some sort of fast-moving news article, like a hurricane perhaps, when I first came across her name. At that time I thought she was just a normal person like me (I had no idea yet about how talented she was/is), but she stood out right away - it was something about her obvious intelligence and yet she had a great deal of emotional intelligence (passion?) as well. I was a fly on the wall of this article for quite a few years and I watched how she managed the article and was always impressed with her wisdom. I did worry when she left, but I have come to understand that the years that she spent working on this article were also years spent teaching the rest of us to carry on her legacy - not that Moni or any of us were aware of that, of course. Dustmuffin, you might like to read the Emmett Till article too. Just the other day an editor said s/he wanted to do something or another to that article and all I had to do was to dig up Moni's thoughts on that! Gandydancer (talk) 15:34, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Moni3 is the kind of WP editor I want to become, but I'm afraid that's too lofty an ideal for me to attain. She has helped me here in immeasurable ways, and has been a wonderful mentor and teacher for me. I would also recommend Donnor Party, another article that defies description in its analysis and thoughtfulness. It's not a light read, but it's compelling; one of those pieces of writing that you can't stop reading even though you know the outcome. This community has been a poorer one since her departure, but I maintain hope for her return. It's shameful that forces here caused her to leave, but she has made a huge impact. I admire her, and am proud to have "met" her. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:49, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Since this page suddenly popped up on my watchlist for the first time in ages... I'll just say that you had one of the most unique and interesting voices on Misplaced Pages, and the place is a lot poorer and less interesting since you've left. You're missed. MastCell  16:51, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate this year, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year.

Main Page appearance: Birmingham campaign

This is a note to let the main editors of Birmingham campaign know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on April 10, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/April 10, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Birmingham campaign was a strategic movement in the spring of 1963 organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to draw attention to the unequal treatment of black Americans in Birmingham, Alabama. Organizers, led by Martin Luther King, Jr. (pictured) used nonviolent direct action tactics, beginning with a boycott of businesses. Sit-ins and marches followed, intended to provoke mass arrests. After the campaign ran low on adult volunteers, high school, college, and elementary students were trained to participate, resulting in hundreds of arrests and greater media attention. To dissuade demonstrators and control the protests the local police used water jets and dogs on children and bystanders. In some cases, bystanders attacked the police, who responded with force. Scenes of the ensuing mayhem caused an international outcry, leading to intervention by the Kennedy administration. By the end of the campaign, King's reputation surged, the "Jim Crow" signs in Birmingham came down, and public places became more open to blacks. The campaign brought national force to bear on the issue of racial segregation and was a major factor in the push towards the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (Full article...)

A barnstar for you!

The Civility Barnstar

I needed this article to better understand 3rd.part of a TV documentary, "The History of USA", and I am very glad that you wrote this, "Donner" entry. How come it is a "User" story and not a Misplaced Pages article? You wrote it as a very well-documented story (and all the information in the history docu was in your article). I was very glad. Thank you. Donald_j_axel. d-axel (talk) 21:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
