== Citing Sources == | |||
Thanks for the help with the ] article. How do I cite sources? This page is so far an amalgamation of bits and pieces from other articles. What do I cite, exactly? I read the citing sources article, but I still feel like I don't know what I need to know. Also, I don't want this to be simply a list of things, but to have some ''something'' that takes it up a notch from a list... | |||
:I recommend the library. I guarantee that a university library would have a book or two or three on the cultural effects of the Cold War. From those books you can write about the larger themes, rather than just list individual cultural products. Discussion of Cold War culture can then integrate the good list of shows and books and movies you've got already. (P.S. Don't forget to sign your posts using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). —] 04:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
::Okay...so I did some searching, found some stuff. What I found is right there on the Cold War page. I haven't read any of the sources, though. Does that matter? Would I just put that list of things at the bottom of the culture of the cold war article? Also, would I repeat some of the sources found on other pages? For example, the musical ] doesn't cite any sources, since it ''is'' the source. Is that the same for the songs and movies and such? Lastly, are you a good resource for these questions, or is there somewhere that is a better place for my questions? Thanks for your help! ] 02:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
:::Well, I'm an administrator, so I'm as good a source as any. To start learning about citing sources in Misplaced Pages, I would read ]. It will explain what to cite, when to cite, and how to cite. To understand why we need to cite and the importance of citing, read ]. One thing we cannot do is to cite other Misplaced Pages articles as a source. If you see a cited sentence in another article you can use that sentence and carry over the citation if you like. But it's generally best to paraphrase facts from things that you personally have read, and cite those sources, thereby reducing the room for error. | |||
:::The most current citing system is called ''cite.php''. You can read about that at ] and ]. It's fantastic, and does a lot of the work for you. Also, there are readymade citation templates for various types of sources that will automatically format the bibliographic data for you. You can find them at ]. I've used ] and ] countless times, but many others exist for virtually any kind of media. Hope this helps! —] 03:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

:I'm not trying to make "means to ends" a sticking point. But I am concerned about not being allowed to use "strategy" in the intro. The means to ends language is a subordinate concern to "strategy", as it's the definition of strategy. As you know, Steve has argued that strategy and its definition belong in the intro because strategy is "political" or a "code word". I don't think it's a supportable idea to remove "strategy" from the definition of geostrategy because Steve views its use as in bad faith.—] 04:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

== Project == | |||
I recently created some pages for ] for peer review, collaboration and deletion listings, but the article isn't big enough to NEED those pages. I was thinking about an International relations theory WikiProject. You seem to be editing a number of these articles so I wanted your opinion. ''']''' <sup></nowiki></font>]]</nowiki></font>]]</sup> 22:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
:By the way, do you believe great powers should mention the fact that they are great powers in the lead of their country articles? ''']''' <sup></nowiki></font>]]</nowiki></font>]]</sup> 22:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
::In general I think Wikiprojects are fine ideas and a good way to focus editors with similar interests on a slice of Misplaced Pages's content. I'm not sure I would have made it as narrow as "power in international relations" either. I agree that an "international relations theory" would be a better Wikiproject. | |||
::My main admonition is this: please please please emphasize cited, academic/reputable sources. People talking about this or that country as a great power or as a superpower is notoriously loose, and very often arouses nationalist fervor (e.g. "why isn't my country on the great power list!?!?!"). Other times it attracts outright original research. A good example of such things include: A) the list of countries purported to be great powers in the ] article, which is subjective at best, and original research more likely, driven by nationalism; and, B) the XYZ as an emerging superpower set or article, which, if not deleted outright for original research, out to be prominently labeled as speculative and predictive of future events. | |||
::So, no, I don't believe country articles should assert that they are or are not a great power. There are numerous definitions and standards for what constitutes a great power. Academics and statesmen have no agreed upon definition or criteria. Listing countries on the great power page is almost assuredly original research unless you cite who says they're a great power and when they were a great power and based on what criteria. Waltz counts great powers by "common sense." William R. Thompson counts those states possessing 5% or more of the relevant capabilities (which obviously vary for different periods) within the great power subsystem. Long cycle theorists differentiate between global and regional powers, and set the standard at 10% of naval or land power capabilities (respectively) within the great power subsystem. Moreover, great power is used more generally in colloquial speech or historical writing without any criteria or formal definition. You see the problem--many many definitions, no way to establish any clarity which would prevent Canadian nationalists or South Korean nationalists from claiming that they're a great power too. In some sense or some definitions they are. | |||
::I say these things because I've been quite disenchanted recently, being in the thick of a 9+ month long edit dispute with another user on an IR subject, who openly admits to never having read anything about the subject, but who nonetheless feels qualified to rewrite the intro text to redefine the subject matter how they see fit. It's absurd and maddening. So in your endeavor, which I would be happy to support (although ] has been taking up a tremendous amount of my time of late), I hope you really stress the hell out of reputable/academic sources for *absolutely everything*.—] 03:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
== Emerging superpower == | |||
There's nothing wrong with the article being chopped down and drastic changes being undertaken, I just think the concept is worth staying on Misplaced Pages as an article. Thus blanking half the page is better than deleting because the other half is worth keeping. Anyway, what's your view on articles like ]. ''' <font color="#000080">—</font> ]''' <sup></nowiki></font>]]</nowiki></font>]]</sup> 01:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
:Conceptually it is inherently flawed. You know that the terms "superpower" and "great power" are relative terms, not absolute terms. Polarity in the international system is based on a subjective set of factors said to be relevant, some of those factors can be measured quantitatively while others are subjective, and the system for determining polarity is also subjective as it varies by expert. Having wikipedians assemble a variety of primary source raw data that ''they select'' to demonstrate China/India/EU's rise is quite obviously original research, since the set of indicators chosen is the work of wikipedians and the idea that these indicators are the relevant ones in demonstrating a country's rise is also the work of the wikipedians. Moreover, you know quite well that absolute power is not the same as relative power. China/India/EU can rise all they want and that has no direct bearing on how exactly the polarity of the international system will change, if it will at all. | |||
:] is not a perfect article, and it's not free from original research. However, it is leagues better than the emerging superpowers series. #1, it is not inherently predicated upon an assumption: the superpowers series assumes that polarity will shift from unipolarity to bipolarity, while it is just as plausible that polarity will shift from unipolarity to multipolarity (in which case there would be no superpowers, but simply a set of great powers). #2, it discusses individual authors' theories one by one and attributes those theories directly in the text. Take a look at the first major section: ]. Each paragraph begins with the particular theorist/paper/book/etc and discusses their particular contention. The article, for the most part, does not marshal primary source data chosen by wikipedians and assembled by wikipedians as evidence, unlike the superpower articles. #3, the relevant indicators chosen by scientists are scientific, and thus not nearly as arbitrary. Indicators chosen in political science are far more arbitrary, and rely principally upon the author's theoretical school (realism, liberalism, marxism, constructivism). While there is an objective measurement of global temperature and climate change, there is no objective measurement of what constitutes a superpower much less what constitutes state power within the international system. | |||
:I could go on, but I hope you get the point. The articles, in concept, are inherently flawed. We cannot just keep the namespace and redo the articles without OR, because the very concept of the article is based on a subjective assumption about how the future will turn out.—] 02:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
::I agree with you for the most part, anyone is allowed to add anything on these articles as long as they demonstrate power. It's just that I believe that the articles can be salvaged and have developed a better series of headings in my userspace which may set the foundations for such an improvement to the articles. So on that front, we'll agree to disagree, but I do agree that the current article is OR and is too much primary-source based.

===Page edit=== | |||
:It doesn't matter if the concept is new or in flux. Misplaced Pages does not aim to write the truth about a topic, it aims to represent all published reputable positions on all sides of an issue without favoring one or the other or presenting something as settled. The article should not be written and then sourced--that's getting the entire concept backwards. It should find its genesis in the sources--build up from that base. As such, most of the article should be fundamentally rewritten, starting from actual sources, rather than the musings of random people who happen to have Misplaced Pages user accounts.—] 23:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
I was not trying to make it the musings of "people who happen to have Misplaced Pages user accounts". I'm just trying to get the page better. I understand your explanation, but there's no need to be so hard-nosed here. Many of the editors who contributed to the page I could not always block (like perhaps someone like you could), and I did stop several from making some particularly dubious contributions (ex. Beagel wanted to put OPEC on the page as a separate energy superpower when the definition was clearly state-based). You should note that I was feverishly trying to at least get the reserves & production numbers sourced on all countries. This is a very new article, and it's hard to get it incredibly polished and up to standards in mere months. I am trying to get everything done by your standards, but I'd appreciate if you would contribute if you're going to critique the work of so many on the page. It smacks of being an back-seat driver who's too afraid to actually do the job themselves. If you can "pull rank", then why do you not contribute? This article has been in dire need of experts like yourself for months! ] 17:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
And by the way, I just put in a bit in the "potential energy superpower" section that SHOULD fit your standards. It's got an expert opinion article source from a geophysicist named Dr. Talwani out of Rice University. Also, I added another article by a Ms. Ecochard discussing the difficulties of Canada becoming an energy superpower in oil. I hope that fulfills the "noting" of the speculative nature of either of these countries making "the jump". Also, Gralo sent me a bunch of nicely sourced reasons why Canada will have a difficult time becoming an energy superpower that he should shortly (if he follows my advice) add to the page. ] 18:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
===Great Energy power/energy power pages=== | |||
I'm not trying to make things up, just find a way to categorize certain states. Sorry about that anyway though. It just seems to me we have no way to categorize these other states that fall in between a "energy superpower" and a regular energy power. Maybe you could do a google search and find a better term, because these states are left in a vacuum of no way to define their status, and we need to be able to do that on this site. ] 17:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
I'll go ahead and erase the page if you want, but we do need to find where the hell the term is that defines these countries. It's like looking at a black hole in IR terms. Something ought to be out there, but I haven't seen any term that would work. Got any ideas on a term/definition we could source? ] 18:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
==="Emerging" vs "potential" energy superpower?=== | |||
That's the latest thing Gralo and myself have apparently agreed upon. I think it will suffice nicely once we get the expert opinion sources put in. Plus it'll allow us to keep a definition for the states that fall underneath the energy superpower (see ]) and also discuss those countries with the potential to make the jump to energy superpower status on the energy superpower page as well. And I just got rid of one of my more angry responses for your editing-sorry about not doing that after reading your reasons the first time. Anyway, someone already has a "potential energy superpower" section up on the page-all we need now is some expert opinion, a few prospective countries, and your assurance that this will pass editorial standards. As they say, "Editors are standing by". ] 21:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
:Potential is less problematic than emerging, because the former has implications of supported fact, whereas the latter is hypothetical. Any section on potential powers ought to A) stress the hypothetical or speculative nature of section, and B) base everything on the secondary sources saying that a country does or does not have such potential, and ''refrain from marshaling primary source/raw data on behalf of or against such claims.'' Above all, Misplaced Pages must not have its own theory or its own position on these countries and their potential. We must reflect (with attribution) the ideas of others, but that's as far as it goes.—] 23:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
===Claims section?=== | |||
Perceval, it occurred to me that perhaps we ought to take a look at WHICH state's and their leaders have laid claim to being or becoming energy superpowers. We really ought to include expert opinion on the reasons they believe they will become Energy superpowers versus experts against, or just find expert opinion in general on the claims. Seems to me that otherwise, if someone were to read about the claims of a world leader's country being a superpower, that this site would not be able to discuss that topic (or be used as a reference), which is clearly something this page ought to be able to discuss (and verify the arguments for and against) that leader's comments. I think a new section might be a good idea here, in order to address these concerns. ] 18:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
===Editing Standards=== | |||
While the editing standards you posted on the energy superpower discussion page seem all well and good, I am very troubled by something you said. Quote, "Misplaced Pages does not aim to write the truth about a topic, it aims to represent all published reputable positions on all sides of an issue without favoring one or the other or presenting something as settled." | |||
My concern is that A) if there is no reputable source on a country (in terms of experts) available, and all we have is production/reserve numbers, how do we make certain that it's added to the page appropriately? I did some checking of the temporary page, and it confirmed my doubts as to how to proceed. There is not much in the way of any expert opinion on Canada's uranium production on the net, but many creditable sources (not experts though) list it as having the highest production of uranium on earth. How would we possibly present Canada without being accused of perhaps advancing a biased opinion? It just seems a tragedy for the page to only concern oil and gas, whereas Canada is a huge uranium producer and isn't mentioned except as an oil/gas power. | |||
B) If Misplaced Pages is not out to present the "truth", but merely all published reputable positions "of an issue" without favoring one side, then what are we going to do should somebody from Exxon Mobil come in and quote a "reputable" source they hired to contradict the other scientists quoted on the "global warming" article? We have this issue on the energy superpower page too because I've had a number of editors advancing arguments all over the place about Russian energy policies (and much of them partisan but quoting "reputable sources"). How on earth do editors like Gralo, Xdamr, Beagel and myself make certain that this article doesn't dissolve into a bout of pro and anti-russian "wikilobbying"? ] 01:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
:I believe it will be unlikely that any potentially important country in terms of global energy markets will lack a published opinion. Global energy markets are among the most widely discussed and debated of all subjects in international politics and business. Regarding Canada & uranium, there are sources available, see . | |||
:Wikilobbying is certainly a problem. The key is to make sure the sources are attributed in the text, so that the readers knows whose opinion they're receiving. So rather than having a statement like "Russia is the greatest energy power", we should make sure that sentences like that are rewritten to say "Ivan Denisovitch from the All Russian Energy Promotion Institute writes in a 2005 white paper that 'Russia is the greatest energy power.'" Then present other sourced items saying more moderate things: "The BBC reports that Russia's energy production positions it in XYZ way regarding the international market. The DOE says ABC about Russian energy production. Etc." Within the context of multiple sources the extent of the controversy will become clear to the reader, and they can choose on their own which sources they agree with.—] 21:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
== Great Powers == | |||
Please can you see the article and talk about Great Powers? The authors of the article want to apply the term to the World of today, '''apply the term to countries of today''' (as Britain France Germany)'''is a very subjective POV''', it is very offensive in confront of others countries of the World, expecially former colonies of Africa and Asia! To support their wrong use of the term they continually quote some sources, but their sources are also a POV of a politically oriented group of academics and they also ignored completely others sources that affirmed the contrary of their POV! You have also to consider that the term "Power" referred to a country is very despised and avoided among the academics of Left and in countries as Germany and Italy, where the "Policy of Power" evokes negative periods of their history. | |||
The term "Great Powers" is neutral (as Misplaced Pages required) if apllied only on historical perspective (about history before World War II or maybe the Crisis of Suez 1956) | |||

My mistake. I was in haste in removing it, as I thought that you were re-adding something that the user had previously removed. I'm not accustomed to edit summaries for user talk pages, which somehow led me to think that you had previously added the same section. In any case, though, I've been told by a couple of admins (after trying to keep warnings on editors' talk pages) that they have the right to remove warnings. The removal indicates that the message has been seen, and that the page history can be viewed to determine any issues. I've seen a few legitimate editors remove warnings to their talk pages or just blank their talk page entirely with no interest in keeping the discussion. So while I acknowledge my revert was a misunderstanding, can you tell me what ''is'' the proper way to handle issues. Here's a couple of instances where my heads-up messages were reverted -- and . It'd be nice to know if I can, after all, force warnings to be kept on user talk pages of disruptive editors. —] (] • ] • ]) - 17:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
:Well, if I were to be nominated for bureaucratship, for example, people would want to know what I've been up to and what disputes I've been involved in. They could certainly go through the history of my talk page edit-by-edit to find everything, but it would be much more convenient if all the content was still there. This is why deleting talk page content is counterproductive. People will want to know about that 3RR block on me. Removing it from my talk page makes it look like I'm trying to hide something. In general, there's no reason nor advantage to be gained from removing things from your talk page. Remember, Misplaced Pages is not made of paper: we have plenty of space, and your talk page can get very very lengthy. The best solution for those wanting to start fresh on their talk page is to simply archive the contents, which is something that I've done for my talk page. The guideline on user pages has a helpful explanation: ]. There it says, 'On a user's own talk page, policy does not prohibit the removal of comments at that user's discretion, although archival is preferred to removal. Please note, though, that removing warnings from one's own talk page is often frowned upon." So while removing comments or blanking one's user talk is allowed, removing content (and specifically warnings) is frowned upon. If you have problem with a user removing warnings, as if to hide evidence or somesuch, first let them know about the above guideline, and second draw the attention of an administrator who can keep an eye on things.

Meanwhile, I had one question for you ''five weeks ago'' which you have ignored several times now. It's disrespectful.

== MSU Interview == | |||
Dear Perceval, | |||
My name is Jonathan Obar ], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students. | |||
So a few things about the interviews: | |||
* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes. | |||
* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.) | |||
* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so. | |||
* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time. | |||
* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly. | |||
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name] instead. | |||
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you. | |||
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you. | |||
Sincerely, | |||

== Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon == | |||
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own. | |||
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room. | |||
'''When''': Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM | |||
'''Where''': The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC | |||

== Extended confirmed protection == | |||
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Perceval. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. | |||
] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned ] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following ] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. | |||
In July and August 2016, ] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions: | |||
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort. | |||
* '''A bot will post a notification at ] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating ], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard. | |||
Please review ] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' ]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}} | |||

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers == | |||
Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}. | |||
A new user group, ], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at ]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. | |||
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available ] but very often a friendly custom message works best. | |||
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at ]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.] (]) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
