== Monument to Misplaced Pages in Slubice ==
]
Demiurge1000, it's not too late. ] is only 1 hour drive from Berlin, one of the busiest air hubs of continental Europe, I'm sure you could catch a flight there. And there's plenty of cheap rail and bus connections between Berlin and Frankfurt (it's right across the river from Słubice, you can actually see Germany from where the monument will stand). Ryanair and Wizzair also fly to Poznań regularly (from Dublin, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and London, not to mention other places), Słubice is only 2 hours by train from there. You could contact ] who is going to the ceremony from Poznań. Unfortunately I won't make it there, but I really hope we'll have a chance to meet in person one day.

P.S. I'm trying to push two more articles on historical battles through the <strike>eye of a needle</strike> FA process: ] and the ]. I'm pretty sure you're fed up with Polish history articles after editing the article on Radzymin 1920, but just in case I'm wrong I'll leave those two links here. :) ''<font color="#901">//</font>'']] 23:30, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

::BTW, we're planning to give the guys who created the monument a small gift, a booklet with thank you letters from all around the world. Could you please drop a line or two ]? ''<font color="#901">//</font>'']] 11:05, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

:::Sorry, missed both deadlines now unfortunately. But many thanks for the detailed advice, and for your involvement in the whole project. As for Berlin, it's still fascinating that it's so far east (relatively speaking) these days. Wikimania has not been in Germany since 2005, so maybe if it ends up in Berlin sometime, there could be day trips to the monument.

:::Regarding the eye of a needle, I recall someone once said that it is easier for a fat man to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a camel to enter the kingdom of heaven. Something like that anyway. I will take a look at the new Warsaw conflicts and see what I can do. --] (]) 19:08, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

== Thank you for the welcome ==

Thank for saying hello. If I have questions, I will be sure to ask for your help. :) --] (]) 08:38, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

== RFC/U ==

Serialjoepsycho is currently harvesting diffs with the help of Roscelese for an RFC/U he plans to initiate against me. They are openly discussing me at her Talk page which includes making false allegations. He publicly stated his intent and purpose for me back in July . I may have made a few newbie mistakes months ago, all minor and of no consequence, but I have always acted in good faith. The template on IPT was a violation of WP:BLPGROUPS because Emerson is inextricably connected to IPT. According to the current BLPN, I'm not alone in calling out the problems. BTW, the Islamophobia template was recently removed by an uninvolved editor who participated in the BLPN discussion Serialjoe initiated. The BLPN remains unresolved. Serialjoe also initiated an ARB request a few weeks ago hoping to get me topic banned, but the reviewers rejected it. Based on my understanding about RFC/U, {{xt|at least two editors must have contacted the user on their talk page, or the talk pages involved in the dispute, and tried but failed to resolve the problem.}}, I have no idea what "problem" they're trying to resolve (or create) because if anything, I've been the target not the shooter. His behavior has elevated to the point he made demands on my talk page - referred to them as suggestions, I believe. An uninvolved editor who happened to stop by commented on his behavior. Shouldn't I be the one initiating the RFC/U?
:Update - the BLPN determined the template to be a BLP violation, therefore removal from the article was the correct action. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.1em 0.1em 0.4em,#F2CEF2 -0.4em -0.4em 0.6em,#90EE90 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#E6FFFF"><b>]</b></font><font color="gold">&#9775;</font>] 11:44, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

::Thank you for the update. What a mess. Seems to be proceeding very very slowly too. I've watchlisted it anyway. --] (]) 19:14, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

== User:Zmflavius ==

Thank you for your kind welcome to WP. As my usage of certain WP terminology would indicate, I am a previous editor from the 2009-2011 time period during which time, the Golden age or the silver age or whatever WP community consisted of 30000 active editor/writers etc+ with a nice balance between wikignomes wikifairies wikijanitors and all the long-forgotten terms of a more open and optimistic time. From 2012-2014 (present), I've monitored or occasional IP-edited minor points of grammar or janitorial type tasks without being involved in the community, but the impression that I developed, and which was confirmed by several other old wikifriends and members of the wiki community is the existence now of the 300 core editors plus 2000 "article campers" who monomaniacally protect "their" articles to express their POV. With renewed access to the WP project, I'm concerned that in my first ten edits, I've already encountered another "article camper" User:Zmflavius whose edit history reveals nothing but a continual and relentless, possibly drug-addicted or teenage adderall-ADHD type personality monomaniacal stance of pushing a pro-KMT, pro Chinese-British or Chinese-American POV. His talk space is filled with numerous numerous numerous warnings and official WP advisements against his behaviour, yet before another edit war begins, I was wondering what mechanism there is in place to deal with this problem of the POV camper? This seems to be the general cancer infecting WP in our current late stage, and before all the fireworks all go off, I'd just like to know your general take. Thank you, -] (]) 05:46, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
:{{tps}} {{tping|Augustabreeze}} Please don't make ] on other editors. Misplaced Pages is not a place to grind axes and editing here is a privilege, not a right. Regardless of your history, your aim should be to improve the encyclopedia rather than criticise others. Thanks, ]<sup>♦]</sup>

== ] ==

Hey Demiurge. I'm building and piloting a new mentorship space on Misplaced Pages called ] with a small team. I wanted to ask if you might be interested in mentoring 1 or 2 editors during our pilot in December. The idea is that mentors will be doing one-on-one teaching specific skills based on what an editor wants to do or accomplish, and it's not some huge commitment to teach comprehensively about Misplaced Pages. I saw a previous conversation here on your talk page about issues with being able to commit to mentorship, and we're really trying to ensure that mentorship is focused on a specific task with a definite end so that mentors don't get burnt out. If you're interested, please ] and we'll keep you posted when we have an actual interface to work with. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, of course, so let me know if there's anything about the space you'd like to know more about. Much like the Teahouse, the only way we'll know if our project is useful is if we can get folks to help teach. ]] 23:10, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Regarding the Kim Plot Summary I did not do any plagiarism. I made sure not to copy anything in similarities to such cites as Schmoop, Sparknotes, Enotes, and Gradesaver. I read the book and the current plot summary is so vague it is in comparison to a plot summary for Romeo and Juliet that says two people fall in love, their families do not approve. They both committ suicide. Notice how that doesnt get any of the true plot. I read the book and I made sure my summary is detailed. I am an English Professor and I take pride in my work not to plagiarize. I read the wikipedia copywrite laws and I made sure to follow within all of the restrictions. Dont falsely accuse my of plagiarism. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 13:09, 9 November 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Welcome ==

Hello,
thanks for your welcome, actually I am not new to WP and I have been editing and correcting pages since a long time. I even donated to WP when I could afford it.
Best regards
KB

:No worries. Thank you (again) for your contributions, and thank you for your donations. You can create an account or not as you prefer, and if not then I imagine we will see each other again! I look forward to it. --] (]) 00:29, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
::Thank you from me as well! I was actually wondering when I'd get a message :) Looks like en.wp doesn't use consistently welcome templates like many other WPs do. I'm not complaining: your message is awesome! --] (]) 09:00, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

== Citing Primary Sources ==

Hi, the words are actually near direct quotes from Michael Yon's personal, verified Facebook page. Understanding the sensitivities around OR and living persons, I had decided to quote the individual's own words. He has been publicly advocating his position, making at least six or seven posts directly on the subject. If this falls into OR, then I apologize.

:If a couple of independent reliable sources decide to discuss Yon's personal opinions, let's have Misplaced Pages report what those sources say. Not opinion columnists, mind you. --] (]) 00:33, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

== Niels Bohr was not Jewish ==

I fail to understand what "incorrect information" from me you believe to have cancelled ? I did not add any information, only modified excessive emphasis on Jews in the article. Niels Bohr was not a Jew, but had to flee from Nazi occupied Denmark (also) because he qualified as a so-called "half Jew" (a Nazi or at least misinformed concept with no rational basis, see f.inst. the German Wiki article "Mischlinge"), since his mother or had been a Jew.

I suggest you undo your changes. I hope they were were ill-informed and not triggered by racism ?

:An automated computer monitoring program I run on my talk page has indicated that you are most likely a bot (robot) intended to discover the exact parameters where an editor is likely to be sanctioned for infringements of the arbcom sanctions against a particular subset of troublemakers; and how to provoke an editor into being sanctioned in that way.

:The computer program also suggested that I consult a child of five ("a child of five could understand this!" were its exact words) in order to discover exactly which arbcom sanction might be involved. Not having any such available, I consulted a much older child, who kindly provided me with this URL; https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests&oldid=228390898#Proposed_motions_and_voting

== Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews ==

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to ''you'' in particular.<p>The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when ] in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.<p>If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied ''from the draft'', rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the is very useful for sussing that out.)<p>If you do find a copyright violation, please ''do not'' decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Misplaced Pages to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using <nowiki>{{db-g12|url=</nowiki><tt>URL of source</tt>}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with <nowiki>{{subst:copyvio|url=</nowiki><tt>URL of source</tt>}}.<p>Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with ]; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.<p> I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area.

You : "''By the time I was ''your'' age - and long before - I had learned manners. Manners maketh the man, some say, and there is still some making to do in your case.''" Yeah, tight, you have learned manners, manners of a dick. It surprises me that you were allowed to mentor the young boys.What could have they learned from somebody as you?<!-- Template:uw-npa2 --> ] (]) 19:02, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
