Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:32, 14 December 2013

Why do you undo added content which is accurate?

http://en.wikipedia.org/The_CIA_and_September_11_%28book%29 I have attempted to provide a summary of the main claims of the book, after having read it, and having it available for reference. Someone keeps undoing it to the original version which had only one sentence on the book's content. It's ok to keep on editing, this may be improved, but just deleting additional, accurate content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.14.1 (talk) 04:50, 18 February 2013 (UTC) I also edited a page on vinyl siding, which had been criticised as industry-only, and added a few sourced statements on environmental hazards of PVC. This was undone by the same "sock puppet", as the edit on the 9/11 book. Since those two edits are the only ones I ever did on wikipedia, and I will never do any other ever, after this experience, it stands to reason that this "user" must have been following both of my edits. Mysterious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.12.137 (talk) 06:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

A new deletion review has been created regarding an article you've recently discussed. Dr. WTF (talk) 20:27, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Person vs. event

I'd argue that Salvi is more notable than the shootings. This is anecdotal evidence, of course, but I know that before I did any in-depth research on the subject, I'd have been more able to name Salvi among a list of anti-abortion terrorists than to identify a 1994 PP shooting as a notable incident (as opposed to things like the murder of David Gunn). I suggest moving the page back and doing a Requested Move. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 07:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I think it is reasonable for OntarioInvasivePlants to add a link to their fact sheet. It is a government agency, so there wouldn't be personal gain involved. Nadiatalent (talk) 20:26, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion review for Death Valley Driver Video Review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Death Valley Driver Video Review. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Goodvac (talk) 03:50, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Eugenics in the United States

Curious why you changed "it was considered a method of preserving and improving the fitness of the then dominant groups in American society" to "it was considered a method of preserving and improving the dominant groups in the population". Do you say there's no difference between the dominant groups then and now or that biological fitness wasn't the Eugenicists goal? 72.228.177.92 (talk) 20:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I just reverted it to the old one. I am not crazy about how the old version was phrased myself. However, I have a problem linking to the article on fitness. Eugenicists did not have the same conception as modern biologists. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:58, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah. Right of course not, the Eugenics discussed in the article died out more than a decade before the discovery of DNA. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 21:18, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

DNA was identified and isolated in the late 19th century. The structure of DNA was not figured out until 1953. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 23:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Well actually it's its role in Mendelian genetics that was figured out. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 01:33, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Planned Parenthood 1RR

You might want to self-revert your last edit, as Planned Parenthood is under a 1RR restriction. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Undoing Revisions

I don't understand why you undid my revision. The sentence in question is attempting to list six things that Nation of Islam adherents do and don't do. They do not consume two things, they do not use two things, and they do stress two things.

Prior to my revision, and as the sentence currently stands, the listing is not parallel:

"NOI adherents do not consume pork, alcohol, use drugs, tobacco, and stress a healthy diet and physical fitness."

What that sentence says, among other things, is that NOI adherents "do not alcohol" that they "do not tobacco" and that they "do not stress a healthy diet and physical fitness". I proposed the following revision:

"NOI adherents do not consume pork or alcohol or use drugs or tobacco, and stress a healthy diet and physical fitness."

My revision may not be perfect, but it is logically correct. If you don't like it, then you can fix it. Add a comma, turn it into three sentences, but don't simply revert it like it's a piece of vandalism.

You left no valid reason for this edit. Why did you make it? 190.46.108.149 (talk) 23:46, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

And you left no justification for this one but you did manage to leave a personal attack. What was your reason for the edit, and why did you make the attack? 190.46.108.149 (talk) 23:54, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Message flagged Wednesday, November 23, 2011 3:40 PM

What is your user account? The best place for a discussion about this would be on my user talk page - I would welcome that discussion. I'm going to be very busy until early next week so I won't have time right away to look into the specifics you outline below until then. But if you can post to my user talk page (NOT under a new account - don't get yourself in trouble!!!) earlier than that, a discussion can start there.

As you have been accused of sock puppetry is it really important that you stay 100% clean on that issue. If you did it, own up to it, apologize for it, and move on.

Proposed merger

You've got to start a discussion on the talk page; mergers don't happen on their own. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Mozart infobox

I have posted a response to the response to your query about an infobox at the Mozart article. Could you revisit the article's talk page and give some more input. I, for one, believe the article (and others like it) need infoboxes and would like to start with the Mozart article. It may take joining Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Composers to get more input and make a difference through consensus as well. If interested, please take part in the continued discussion, add your own thoughts, and it may be possible to come up with new consensus. Thanks, Lhb1239 (talk) 19:31, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic characters‎

The length of leads for lists of characters depends on the size of the article, as do leads for other articles. As the size of the article is around 30,000 characters, it does merit at least two paragraphs in the lead. I'd like to work with you to figure out something that works for the article: would you agree to compromising? I suggest we add one (short) paragraph to what is currently there that briefly explains explains the characters and how they're connected, as the lead should. Thanks. Murmuration (talk) 03:11, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm kind of concerned that you think that one line is ever okay as the lead for an article: I take it you didn't read WP:LEAD? What other articles have for their leads isn't at all an accurate way to asses how long a lead should be, especially since 3 out of 4 of the article you referenced don't meet Misplaced Pages's standards. Leads for lists of characters should do exactly the same thing as leads for other articles: accurately summarize the article's contents in proportion to the article's size. For the size of List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic characters, the lead isn't at all the right length. Murmuration (talk) 21:31, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring

What was your reason for this revert? Simply undoing an edit without giving any reason, in the hopes that the other editor won't notice, is edit warring and is unacceptable. If you disagree, explain your reason here and we will discuss it. Edit warring is not an appropriate way to resolve a dispute. rʨanaɢ (talk) 15:27, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Just so you know, in the future, Berserk (anime) will be re-merged into Berserk (manga). Its just that no one really cares about it right now; but the justification would be that their separation violates WP:MOS-AM. To see an example of this situation, you can see the consensus here. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 11:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, just so you know, your edits do not comply to the Manual of Style for wiki. I'm not going to revert your edits, but if an editor takes an interest in the Berserk article, they would be justified to do so. I suggest you find a article that is GA rank and base your work off of that. Currently the way you set up berserk is a "by fan for fan" basis; a style you need to change.

Changing article importance

I've reverted edits to Zork and The Black Onyx that changed the importance from High to Mid, based on the enormous influence these games had on the industry. Though some of you edits of this nature seem justified, others seem less so, and still others seem very strange. I'm assuming that you have a good reason for the edits that you are making, but due to the number and nature of the edits, I've brought it to the attention of the VG WikiProject at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Video games#Editor changing importance of large number of articles. Please feel free to comment there. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 23:17, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest and User:Maynardox

I haven't had much time for Misplaced Pages over the last couple of days, so it's taken me a while to get round to answering your post on my talk page. However, I have answered at last, and you can see my response in this edit. I have also responded to your report at Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard, as you can see here, and posted a message about this at User talk:Maynardox.

Transitional Fossils and Amphistium

Please forgive the delay. So far, what you've done is great. My only input/suggestion would be to condense what you put at Transitional Fossils, but, given as how Amphistium as it is is just a stub, that might not be possible. I'll think of something, and keep up the good work in the meantime.--Mr Fink (talk) 19:44, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Transitional fossil

I'll gladly check the article, but I have to tell you up front that I dislike the term "transitional fossil" almost as much as the term "missing link" - both are nonsense, and give a wrong impression to laypeople. HMallison (talk) 20:47, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Reality Distortion Field

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Reality distortion field. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
You appear to be having some process difficulties too. You proposed a merger on Talk:Steve Jobs, but didn't tag either Steve Jobs or Reality Distortion Field with {{merge}}. Typically discussion lasts for seven days, but you chose to be Bold only nine hours later. Someone reverted you, so now the Discussion phase of the WP:BRD process should kick in until there is a WP:CONSENSUS or the discussion goes stale. Please do not think the discussion has gone stale until no one has responded for several days. Acps110 18:01, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Abiogenesis lead

The lead I created for Abiogenesis is more than adequate. The lead may have "seemed" long to you, but is is actually the perfect size in proportion to the rest of the article. Every article needs an adequate lead that summarizes the contents and gives an introduction to the topic, not just a quick definition. Depending on the size of the article a lead should not be more than 4 paragraphs, and for an article as long as Abiogenesis the lead size was perfect. Look at the leads for evolution, the history of life, and history of the earth and you will see that these articles are long and SO the leads are fairly sizeable in proportion. Please also see WP:LEAD -- Cadiomals (talk) 18:47, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Paleontology series

For topical series, please use a bottom-of-the-page banner template rather than an info-box style template. The latter tend to complete for much visual space, especially when a topic belongs to more than one series. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Histories (Herodotus)

So we don't find ourselves in an edit war, I do not believe that the Histories (Herodotus) article should be included in the MILHIST project. Although it does cover the events of the Greco-Persian War, other ancient texts that cover military events like the Bible, Iliad and the War Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls are not included in the MILHIST project. Although deleting all task forces was a mistake on my part I would like to make a consensus as to the MILHIST tag. Much Ado, --MOLEY (talk) 21:47, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

AIV

At WP:AIV there's a notice that looks like this:

Important! Your report must follow these four points:

1. The edits of the user you are reporting must be considered vandalism.
2. The user must be given sufficient recent warnings to stop.
3. Unregistered users must be active now, and the warnings must be recent.
4. DO NOT report an already-blocked user (e.g., for talk page abuse) here as the report would just be removed by the bot. Instead, report at WP:ANI. Do not edit war with the bot.

Please take heed of these instructions, in particular point 3 - unregistered users must be active now. Since blocking is preventative and not punitive, reporting an IP address that was used for vandalism yesterday and is not active now is unhelpful. Please only report unregistered users if they are active now, as the notice clearly says. Thanks, waggers (talk) 09:59, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Zodiac Killer

I don't want to start an editing war so I'm contacting you. Back on March 10, you undid my revision that omitted the sentence, "Even though DNA samples taken from the letters sent by the Zodiac did not confirm that Allen had handled them, neither the Vallejo nor the San Francisco Police Departments have ruled out Allen as a suspect." I didn't see any explanation given for your revision. I think the sentence should be deleted because it's partly redundant with the previous sentence and the sourced article doesn't even mention the SFPD. Also, I'm not aware of the SFPD ever publicly stated they've cleared any of their 2,500 suspects so stating they continue considering Arthur Leigh Allen as a suspect seems misleading. I've left the sentence in the article for the time-being while waiting for your reply. Incidentally, do you have a personal opinion of who the Zodiac Killer was? Thank you for your time.TL36 (talk) 01:29, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Barbary Wars merger to Barbary corsairs

Hi, I noticed that you had reverted a merger that I completed recently between Barbary Wars and Barbary corsairs. You had reverted the merger with a comment that you did not approve it. I had the proposal posted in January 2012, but I seem to have missed your suggestions/concerns about the merger. It would be appreciated if we could discuss it. My main concern is that the Barbary wars content seems to overlap with other articles and has no unique references while being low on referenced content itself. I came up with the idea for this merger when I entered the subject as a reader and found out that I had missed out on content due to the way it is split on Misplaced Pages. I would like to see the Barbary corsairs article develop and ultimately be evaluated for branching out as the content matures. Another editor suggested building an article structure now, but I am not sure how that would look. Also, I would rather have one larger good article then several small lower quality articles.

TFA for Killer7

Hi, I'm planning to nominate Killer7 for Today's Featured Article for July 7, 2012 and I noticed you're pretty active in that area. Do you know how flexible the system is? I ask because there are a few points that the article is borderline on. It has been about 1 year and 9 months since it was promoted. The most recent video game TFA was Turok (April 13), which would be 2 months and 3 weeks from the requested date (if you don't go through with Castlevania on May 8...). It's also the 7th anniversary of the game's release, which is not a decennial, but seven is an important number in the game's fiction so that might could for something? This is my first time nominating something for TFA. Axem Titanium (talk) 22:20, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I'd give it 2 points. One for age, and one for date relevant (NA release anniversary). It's not that hard to nominate. When the July 6th timeslot opens up, just place it there. Follow the format of other nominations. If there is another video game article less than a month before, then Killer 7 would lose all of it's points and may not run. Video games (and media in general) are somewhat over represented, so there may be some opposition to having it run. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:31, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Are you a "significant contributor to the article, and has not previously had an article appear as Today's featured article" ? Then that would be another point. For a total of 3. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 21:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt reply. In your experience, are the people at TFA requests usually pretty strict about counting days or is there some leeway? Axem Titanium (talk) 23:26, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes they do. But as long as you follow the rules and point system, most requests get selected. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 17:46, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for the tips. Axem Titanium (talk) 17:47, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I was suggesting Killer7 run on July 7, though, which is two months out. It means I definitely can't get the points for no game TFAs for 3 months but that's not terrible, is it? Axem Titanium (talk) 15:59, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Ira Einhorn

I am curious why Misplaced Pages users like yourself choose to purport fiction over fact. The edit I did yesterday - which was completely reverted by JFHJr to it's previous version - is completely accurate.

You insist on ignoring the truth and cite a single article which erroneously indicates Einhorn was the master of ceremonies when the fact - the truth - is that there was no master of ceremonies and Einhorn's only role at the event had been as a liaison with poet and featured speaker Allen Ginsberg. But Einhorn didn’t merely introduce Ginsberg — he "commandeered the stage" speaking "incoherently" for half an hour and refusing repeated requests to leave and let the program continue. This was said under oath by a respected doctor.

That statement was made under oath and penalty of perjury by Dr. Donald Nathonson - http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2002/10/18/einhorn/index.html

His testimony is corroborated by the actual event organizers who wrote Ira Einhorn’s claims that he was a founder or organizer of Earth Day are false. He is a fraud. Einhorn, given a small role on the stage at Earth Day, grabbed the microphone and refused to give up the podium for thirty minutes - http://www.amgot.org/einhorn/eday.htm

So do you rush to ensure every article on wikipedia based on lies and misinformation or only this one? TruthTime8752 (talk) 06:14, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

"good intentions"

Thanks for the comment "It's suggested that Misplaced Pages editors assume that others are editing with good intentions" - but that does not seem to be the case with your constant edits and reverts with Ira Einhorn. Again, why do you insist on purporting the false notion that he was the master of ceremonies at Earth day when he was not??

If you took the time to actually read ALL the relevant material - not some McVersion of the facts - you would discover that you are putting false information on the page.

Are you going to correct your mistakes or continue to put this false information there? TruthTime8752 (talk) 06:21, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Misplaced Pages pages

Dear Author/Harizotoh9

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Misplaced Pages pages and Why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Misplaced Pages pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Misplaced Pages and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Female Hysteria. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 14:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Quirinius Census

Just checking to hear your reasoning for removing my edits on the Quirinius Census page. I have been researching this issue in detail this week and all of my assertions were backed up with valid references. The only rationale you gave for removing them was that the main article I refer to is "only opinion" but, may I humbly suggest that that is only your opinion? I have interacted with Answers in Genesis extensively over the last three years and every bit of their commentary is backed up by solid research and fact (as evidenced by the sourcing I gave from Chaffey's article).

I will admit that one of my references was mistaken and I will be happy to correct that piece (Varus, who was governor of Syria during the 8 BC Roman Census, lost 3 legions of soldiers in Germany and his own life in 9 CE, so that was obviously not something Caesar would have weighed in 7-8 BC, but it does reveal a possible deficit in his judgment and leadership abilities that Caesar may have been aware of. Similarly, Varus had 2,000 Jews crucified in 4 BC after Herod the Great died (this from Josephus), revealing a level of harshness that Caesar may have wanted to temper in taking a census).

Please let me know your thoughts - I think this article needs to be balanced with a conservative argument. Thanks, Darin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goteamanderson (talk • contribs) 17:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hoodwinked! at Today's Featured Article

Why did you remove Hoodwinked! from Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests? I get that it had negative points, but so does Gender Bender (The X-Files) and Luke P. Blackburn and you did not remove those. Yes, they both had supports, but it took Gender Bender five days to get its first support and Hoodwinked! had only been up for five days when you removed it. I would understand if you had added another article in its place, but I don't see the purpose in removing it and simply leaving two blank spaces. --Jpcase (talk) 23:42, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

History of Sesame Street

Hi Harizotah, I disagree with adding the Sesame Street infobox to History of Sesame Street. According to the MOS (WP:IBX, "...the purpose of an infobox: to summarize key facts in the article in which it appears". This infobox does not summarize this article; it summarizes Sesame Street. For that reason, I don't think that it belongs in the history article, and I request that it be removed. I'd appreciate it if this issue was resolved by Nov. 10, since it's likely that it will be on the main page for The Show's 43rd anniversary. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:17, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Since it's been several days since I wrote the above, I'm going to assume that your silence signifies assent. If this issue doesn't get any further discussion by the end of the day on 11/8, I will remove the infobox. I'm setting this deadline because this article will indeed be on the main page on the 10th and it needs to be as featurey-article as possible. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:56, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Please excuse the response to myself, but I think that I solved the issue. The article has been updated with the "Elmo the Musical" info, and I renamed the "2000s" section to "2000s and 2010s". I don't think it's necessary to create a whole new section for a line of text. When enough has happened to fill a section, we'll move it to its own section. What do you think?

3RR

Re your reversions of RS material and deletion of dubious tags, at psychiatry - Your edit summary for reverting, "too strong", is not a WP policy or guideline for reliably sourced matErial you do not like, or for which you make unsourced claims of UNDUE, nor for removing construction tags, or for removing dubious tags from MEDRS false unsourced statements.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ParkSehJik (talk) 23:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Macauthor (talk) 16:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

edit at Jung Myeung Seok

In recent edit , you removed reliably sourced material. I understand that "Providencecentral.com and nocultnews are not reliable sources," as you stated in your edit summary, but you also removed content that was sourced from Yonhap News, the Associated Press, and The Korea Times. Removing reliably sourced content without any apparent valid reason is considered illegitimate blanking, and is categorized as vandalism. While it is essential that BLP articles adhere to policy, and stay far away from libel, when content is negative but relevant and reliably sourced, it should usually be included to comply with NPOV. If you do have a good reason for removing the content, I would be glad to hear it, but I would regardless advise you that your edit summary was confusing, and could be interpreted as an attempt to divert attention from a non-NPOV edit. I will not make that assumption per AGF, but in my personal opinion, a bad edit summary is worse than none at all, and you should be careful that your edit summaries are more accurate and less misleading in the future. I have already restored the sourced content, without undoing your edit, since some of the content was poorly sourced and should have been removed. I also removed a paragraph to which you added the tag, without realizing it already had a citation. It's a little unusual to solicit additional citations with , but there's not really anything wrong with it, and you're welcome to reinstate that paragraph if you wish, with or without the tag. Consider this an official level 2 warning for blanking, though I will withdraw it if you have a valid reason for removing the content. —Rutebega (talk) 21:38, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

RetroArch - not notable enough

I'm sorry, but this is plain nonsense.

We are more notable than any other emulator on app stores - and we have an ideological stance that makes us superior to any.

Frankly, you do not have the clout to just pull our article like that and all it betrays is that you must be politically motivated to pull the trigger like that.

'When it's notable enough' - you are not an arbitrator that decides that. As long as a piece of garbage like zSNES is still allowed to have its own Wiki page (when it's dead and nonexistent), then we deserve at least ten Wiki pages - never mind one.

Next time you decide to vandalize our page like that I will do everything I can to ensure it has consequences for you inside your wiki sphere.

BTW, me and my userbase (which is in the thousands by now) will just reinstate and 'de-vandalize' any and all 'edits' you do from now on concerning 'redirections' - so if you want to make your little political squabble, at least try to get some people behind you - because the way you are going about it now is never, ever going to work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.166.85.169 (talk) 08:36, 26 June 2013‎ (UTC)

FYI, I think I've made some progress with this person (who is apparently now at a different IP), and I've asked him to issue you an apology for this. While I had my own comments on the redirect itself, this post above is clearly an overreaction. But in discussion, it appears that he genuinely thought you were part of some rival project who has it in for him (at least, that's how I interpret the discussion at this point, applying my good faith filter). I think I've gotten him to realize that you, to the best of anyone's knowledge, were simply trying to participate in good-faith cleanup efforts, and honestly had I seen the article in the state it was in at the time, I might have been tempted to do the same.

In any event, no idea if he'll actually follow-up on my request, but I wanted to let you know. See the discussion in Talk:RetroArch for context. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:35, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I want to indeed apologize. I presumed too much when I saw the page redirected to this 'list' and made this response based on that. I did not make the initial page and I claim no right to ownership at all. At the same time, it is not an emulator, and I hope we can make this more clear in the future. On that same note, another user is working on making a page for 'Libretro' - which is the underlying API (made by us) that RetroArch depends on. When that page has passed through a few milestones perhaps it might be a good idea to redirect the RetroArch page to that since it is really the API we intend to promote and not so much the reference frontend. Anyway, for now a major reworking of the RetroArch page could make it clear what it is and what it isn't.

I want to apologize to people I alienated - I'll try a different course of action in the future and I did not intend for it to go down like this.84.26.108.111 (talk) 17:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate this. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 18:06, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

BTW - mark this issue as not having been resolved. I just found out this very same guy that pulled our page with a note saying 'Not notable enough' is making 'helpful contributions' to the Higan page - to the effect that it betrays a certain level of community knowledge that frankly isn't there outside of #bsnes/#higan. Let it be known that there is intense rivalry between #bsnes/#retroarch and that therefore for any one of those persons to delete our page with a note saying 'Not notable enough' while not holding their own favoured 'rival project' to that same standard is definitely a clear-cut example of 'Conflict of Interest'.

For the sake of neutrality I will continue staying out of this but I just felt I had to point out that - despite my apology - once again it turns out my suspicions were right - while you (KieferSkunk) did not adequately do your homework and did not see that this guy DID in fact had such ties to a 'rival project'. So really, I shouldn't have apologized over an this in the first place - since I was right.

If you don't believe me - here he is 'helpfully editing' the Higan article - way before he tried pulling this little stunt on the RetroArch page - https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Higan_%28emulator%29&diff=561289569&oldid=545619797 Well, I'll tell you what - if 'RetroArch' isn't notable - then what the hell is higan/bsnes exactly? You don't even have a 'presence' outside of high-powered PCs.84.26.108.111 (talk) 23:30, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Harizotoh: I'm treating this as open harassment. You have been contributing to Misplaced Pages since September 2011, and you have never been blocked for any reason. Regardless of any involvement in emulator projects you may have, there is no evidence that you have been causing any trouble here on Misplaced Pages or that you have been violating any policies, and this IP editor has no right to be harassing you like this. I am reporting this to WP:ANI . (He was already reported for disruptive editing yesterday and appeared to be backing down at that point, but this is over the line.) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

I am not involved with the Bsnes emulator, or any emulation project. I just keep up with gaming and emulation news. I only moved the bsnes page because I noticed the name was out of date. He's making a much bigger deal out of that than seems warranted. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Didn't honestly think you were, but just the same, it doesn't really even matter that much. There's no evidence that you've done anything in bad faith. Thanks for your patience with all of this. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 04:27, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Issues at higan (emulator)

BTW, while the IP editor is clearly harassing you, he does have a point: The article you're contributing to at higan (emulator) has several issues that should be addressed soon: Just like with RetroArch, "higan" does not appear to meet WP's notability criteria - there are currently no secondary or tertiary sources, and at least one of the sources violates WP:SPS. I've added a couple of templates to help steer things in the right direction, but if proper sources can't be found, we will likely be nominating this article for the same kind of merge as RetroArch was. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 00:10, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I think this should be taken to the Video Games WikiProject talk page for further discussion. I'm not opposed to turning it into a redirect. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:30, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

RetroArch Forum Post

Hi Harizotoh9, as much as I'm sure you'd be happy to see the back of the above discussions and IP editor, I just thought I'd make you aware of a forum post about the Misplaced Pages article over on their forums by him/her. I have sent a reply hopefully clarifying the issues and thought you might want to take a look. Samwalton9 (talk) 01:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Wow. Just took a look at that forum post - that guy truly is paranoid. Looks like no amount of reasoning or explaining how the Internet works is going to convince him that he's gone totally off the deep end. I was tempted to register and reply, but honestly it wouldn't do any good. I appreciate your efforts, tho. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 02:11, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Noted that the forum post has been removed. As one might expect, it was just more irrational ranting about how evil we are and how we can't be bothered to fact-check things. I imagine that the guy is not actually an admin on that board, and perhaps one of their admins took the post down. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 03:09, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

I read the thread before it was taken down. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:29, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Not only has it been removed but I was banned, hooray! Not a great loss. The poster was an admin and was almost certainly the same 'lead developer' who was posting here. He/she seemed utterly convinced of some grand conspiracy to silence them by this other emulator team, and I could tell from the first post that anything I replied would be entirely disregarded, but I thought it was worth trying if for nothing more than the rest of the community on that forum, who would have hopefully understood the situation as it actually is. Never mind anyway he seems to have given up here now. Samwalton9 (talk) 12:01, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Geology template

Harizotoh9, I see that you have been adding {{Geology2}} to several pages. You have clearly put some effort into making a nice sidebar, but the subject is too broad. The guidelines for navigation templates state that the topics in sidebars should be tightly related (see especially point 3, "The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent."). A horizontal navbox at the bottom of the page might be acceptable. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:00, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

However, there is already a {{Geology}} navbox on some of the pages. All the more reason not to have a sidebar on the same subject. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Feel free to remove the ones you don't think fit (indeed, I fully expected several of them to be removed). I don't care too much for the horizontal navboxes, since they're tucked away at the end of the articles and I suspect people rarely click them.

Could another other option be to create a few more navbars, that are more tightly related? --Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:13, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

There is certainly potential for creating more tightly related navbars. I do wonder how often people use navigation boxes; I almost never do. Ironically, on Geophysics you replaced a {{Science}} sidebar, so at least it was moving in the right direction. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:44, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

However, on lots of articles you have removed {{science}} and left...nothing at all, and not explained anything...this surely deserves a non-blank edit-summary. Especially problematic are the first two I saw...Biology and Chemistry, where the articles themselves are listed on the navbox (good symmetry to have an article in a navbox include that navbox). In fact, those articles are the main ones for their respective subsections of the navbox, as a heading for the cluster of detailed articles on the topic. The navbox thus illustrates how this main branch of science fits in the hierarchy. DMacks (talk) 03:29, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:science

Why are you removing the {{science}} navbox from lots of articles? Without any edit summary, and incorrectly marked as minor edits too. — Reatlas (talk) 09:42, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Inconsistent application of your policies (reverting edits)

I I noticed you undid an edit I made on Historical Jesus. Why would you undo that edit saying the section on controversial opinions is for scholars? Because Leo Tolstoy is not a scholar and Leo Tolstoy is in that section too. If you do not provide a logical explanation, I will assume that the edit was not done in good faith. I think you have two options here: one is to remove also the Tolstoy reference from the section. 2 is to undo your removal of my submission. Looking forward to hearing from you. Respectfully, Greengrounds (talk) 06:48, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

You assume a bit too much. I typically don't even read most of the pages I have on my watch list. I am a bit of a lazy editor. I did not know Tolstoy was even in that section. In this case I have no problems removing Tolstoy as well, and have in fact done that. Misplaced Pages articles should ideally focus on scholarly opinion.

I've given that section a quick glance over (a very quick one at that). Alvar Ellegård appears to be an English professor according to his page. That might mean that ancient history is something outside of his area of expertise, and that his opinions on the historical Jesus, however interesting, perhaps should be removed from that section. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:02, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
