Template:Empty section

{{Empty section}} is up for deletion at Misplaced Pages:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 May 1; I thought you might want to know because you were responsible for closing the DRV on it in 2011. Nyttend (talk) 20:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Verna Hillie

On 13 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Verna Hillie, which you created or substantially expanded. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Verna Hillie. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Night of January 16th, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Barbara Bedford (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Decline Speedy Deletion?

Regarding these two articles: 1. 2.

The reason why I requested Speedy Deletion is because that both of the user's articles aren't in English. They appear to be in Spanish. Spanish Misplaced Pages has their own article on Regular Show here. 76.117.166.209 (talk) 10:53, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Coherent non-English text is explicitly excluded from the "nonsense" speedy deletion criterion. These pages are user pages, not articles, so they cannot be speedy deleted as duplicates. If the user does nothing with them, I will nominate them for the appropriate deletion process. --RL0919 (talk) 14:07, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Tu ne cede malis

		The Austrian Barnstar of National Merit
		Presented to User ‎RL0919 For extraordinary service in the improvement of Murray Rothbard SPECIFICO talk 23:45, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Just doing what I can. Thanks. --RL0919 (talk) 03:21, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Rothbard talk page

I have used two of your phrases in a Talk:Murray Rothbard comment. Please let me know if you'd like me to attribute them to you. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 01:46, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Now a moot point. More discussion followed, so I decided to be more explicit as to where I came up with the phrases. Thanks again. – S. Rich (talk) 02:10, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Creationism

Imagine you were editing evolution and ran into a fellow who asked you for a reliable source to back up some detail. You go ahead and give him a college biology textbook, and he tells you that the only truly reliable source in matters of biology is the Bible, which is literally true in all ways.

What do you do then? It's not like you can ever convince him of anything because he's not on the same page as you. You can talk until you're blue in the face, but you'll just get frustrated. He just doesn't understand biology and doesn't want to. Sure, he's got a strong opinion, but it's not worth a damn and there's no reason to listen to it. All you can do is shrug, like Atlas, and move on.

So when you told me you couldn't understand what "popular philosophy" meant in those sources, you were admitting that you don't have what it takes to understand the issues. You might as well have said you only accept the words of Ayn Rand as a reliable source, for all that it matters. And all I can do is shrug and move on. As far as I'm concerned, you're pretty much like that imaginary Bible-thumper: too biased and incompetent to contribute.

Now, I can't stop you from taking this as an insult, but it's really all about your demonstrated behavior and ability, so it's not personal at all. I don't hate you, I just don't think your opinion about Ayn Rand can be trusted, so I can't give it any weight at all. MilesMoney (talk) 06:31, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
