Yes, I came back to vote in the ArbCom elections. It's the only reason I didn't make this account inaccessable.

No, I have no intentions to come back to edit. Not at this name, and probably not at any other, either.
==Archives==

If you're looking for me, you know where to find me.

I left when the Brandt article got deleted (thus the statement above), as it was one of my shortlist issues for giving up on the project. Many more have come to pass since the Brandt article deleted, so I wouldn't have lasted this long anyway.


If you tripped up on this, most of what's been said about me isn't true. As there's no reasonable appeals process, I'm forced to see my name slung through the mud for it. Such is Wiki-life. If I could turn back the clock, I'd change nothing except my original name.

== ] ==

Hi Jeff I was wondering if you could help us here. ] and Myself have some difficulties with a new user ]. He has removed a large amount of content from the ] and ] articles and each time the content is reverted back he claims vandalism on our parts and refuses to discuss his reasons on the talk pages. Not only that he has been reverting the warnings placed on his talk page leaving a message on our talk page stating ''Please do not post any further invalid warnings to my talk page, or I will report you''. Please can you help resolve this as he will not listen to any regular users, Thanks -- ] 22:12, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:Not quite correct. I have definitely been willing to discuss my reasons on the talk pages. I have stated them clearly. Also, I am free to remove warnings from my talk page when they are not from administrators and not legitimate. I have been accused of vandalism (my changes were not; they were in good faith), but I cannot accuse them of the same? Not even when they blindly revert and not willing to discuss things before doing a revert? (They accuse me of not being willing to discuss. Look at the evidence.) I would listen to regular non-admin users if they were to behave rationally. I hope, Jeff, that you will in fact consider both sides rather than just blindly siding with a friend. I can call in admins too, if I have to, and it could become more serious. That is not a threat, and I do not want to have to do it, but I would like a fair shake. P.S. I am very familiar with the various permutations of Highlander, and if it helps the producers and several of the writers have stated that the novels and animated series are not canon. While I do not have any copies of interviews on hand, I'm sure they could be found through a simple search. ] 22:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::Okay, I'll see what I can do here - Joe, can you explain why you keep removing the information? I'm looking at the page history, and it appears to an outsider as somewhat haphazard and bizarre. Could you explain (or re-explain) in plain terms why? --] <small>]</small> 22:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Well first of all I am not going to revert it anymore, since that seems pointless now, and probably always was. The reason I deleted the information was because it is from The Methos Chronicles, a non-canon Highlander spinoff. The Highlander producers have stated in interviews that the spinoff novels and animated series are not canon. If the information I deleted must be included, it should be stated that it is from an animated spinoff. My concern was only that a Highlander newbie might believe the information was revealed on the live-action, canon show Highlander: The Series. I did state this on the Methos talk page, but ] keeps accusing me of being unwilling to do this. If I haven't explained myself clearly enough, let me know and I will try again. ] 22:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Look I stated earlier your edits indeed might be 100% correct and might be what the pages ends up becoming but two users have been trying to get you to talk and each time we revert the page to what it was before you immediately revert the articles and then claim that it was vandalism. That does not help. We have also asked you to produce some sources to back up your claims and you have ignored those requests and have not even made any comments as such. Then when we put warnings on your user page, something that since there are a finite amount of admins out there people use all the time to help regulate and keep[REDACTED] working you threaten these users with impropriety and state that you will report them? If you want to remove the warnings later when this has past there is no problem with that, but during an ongoing debate shows bad faith especially when threating other users. This debate would not have even come to the place it is right now if you would have been willing to work with your other editors and not been so aggressive about it. -- ] 22:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::Well I think part of the problem is that these different posts are being read out of order. I have said on other talk pages that I will attempt to produce sources. I admit that I should not have been so hasty to revert, but then I was being accused of vandalism, and to my mind it seemed that for you and others to revert my changes without any real discussion seemed just as bad. I will try to find what proof I can to support my claims. It is definitely not true, though, that I have been unwilling to discuss things or have not stated my reasons - I have. All that's left now is to find proof if I can. As I said on some talk page recently, I did not think to save the interviews where I originally read this stuff. If I can't find anything then I will have to admit defeat. I would not have made the claims I have without at least ''thinking'' that I'm right. You and HoneyBee seemed to dismiss out of hand my assertions about canonicity. That doesn't seem right either. ] 22:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
I think that things have calmed down. I think that most of the confusion comes from inexperience with[REDACTED] and not knowing how things are done here. I'm sure that In the end Joe Dick will become an asset to[REDACTED] working with other users to help improve articles. Thanks for the help Jeff :-) -- ] 23:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:Glad I could help? Heheh. --] <small>]</small> 01:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, minor changes (but I hope improvement) to IAR, an outstanding request or two to Jimbo Wales for his Final Word on just what the hell he meant by the edit to IAR on 18 April 2006, some completely unconsensus-formed, no-action taken discussions on WT:DRV, WT:IAR, etc. and some interesting conversations you and I have both had with the "other side" later, where do I go from here? I'm thinking RfCs if I see more totally egregious decision-making on DRV, possibly to make the point that the DRV project page should be changed to reflect reality, or that admins should change behavior to reflect policy (community-choice). Maybe alternately other VPR entries regarding that sad state of affairs? Any ideas?

== Comment ==

You haven't gotten under my skin, Bdjeff; you're just expressing some rather extreme (and in my view, not well thought out) positions on this issue. If you have an issue with trusting admins to use their tools, this policy in particular is not the place on which to express them. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 21:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
:What extreme views? It's an extreme view to not want subjects of articles to dictate content? From the looks of the discussion, it doesn't seem as much. This has nothing to do with administrative power, actually, and ''that'' assumption is just as unfounded as my alleged "extreme views" on this particular issue. --] <small>]</small> 21:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

::Jeff, it's a bit much of you to tell anyone to assume good faith. The only encounter I've had with you (that I recall) was when I speedied a page you wanted to keep; the deletion was upheld at deletion review, and the next thing I know I'm getting posts from you on my talk page discussing my "agenda," and how dare I, and you were going to fix me, or words to that effect. Bearing in mind that I'm someone who takes very little do with deletion issues, and don't know enough about them to have an "agenda." Assumptions of good faith have to work both ways. If you don't like the bad faith, don't be so fast to dish it out. ] <sup><font color="Purple">]</font></sup> 21:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Then you must have misunderstood my post about your improper deletion, especially since you think I was going to "fix you," wherever the hell that comes from - I brought it to DRV and I complained that you speedied an article because you decided it was "dangerous," a patently absurd reason. Certainly, I said nothing improper. Now, if I've given you a reason to so curtly dismiss me the way you did at BLP, I'd love to hear about it, but I'm certainly not going to stand for it if there's no good reason. --] <small>]</small> 21:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jeff,
I just noticed that you contested the prod I placed on ] with an edit summary of 'definitely a notable book, removing prod'. Since the article is entirely unsourced and makes no claim whatsoever to establish notability except 'it's advertised on TV', could you please explain why the book is notable? There are plenty of nutrition/weight loss-related books which seem to be just as equally noteworthy as this one. Most of them are controversial as well. In fact, that's true of even most scientific studies. Thanks. -- ] 22:40, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== regarding an article bias ==

hey jeff, about the fizz article. what is acceptable in regards to neutrality and sources of information ? it's a television show, and the article reads like an advertisement rather than a factual piece of substance. to myself and others, it looks like the FIZZ want alot of attention or bigger paychecks for their company from creating articles about their show. wouldnt it make more sense to take basic information from the article and put it with the 101 article. i read you don't think that way and disagree. which is understandable. however, i hope the article is cleaned up because right now its an advert stub. ]
:I'll point you to the links above regarding what's necessary. Also, read ], as you're trying to speedy articles improperly. --] <small>]</small> 02:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

==Stoopid Monkey Logos==
As you are probably aware, the ] page was the subject of an AfD and the result was, of course, "Keep". Currently, the logos are a point of contention with myself saying that they were part of the "Keep", while ] saying they were to be dropped and the article was to remain.

I asked the ] who closed the AfD his opinion and he replied, "I just said the article was to be kept, I don't know about the logos". There wasn't a decision given on the logos and in the AfD only 3 users said the logos should go, only 1 said keep the article, lose the logos.

I am not sure how to handle this, but since the ] who closed the AfD made no decision and the AfD wasn't about the logos in the first place (and the majority said to keep the logos if you want to be picky about it, as far as I can tell).

This wasn't an issue from April 16th (immediately after the AfD) to May 3rd when ] realized that I was blocked for 48hours (not related to this) and I couldn't revert his changes. ] had no interest and made no changes on the page itself or the talk page during that time. So, to me, his initial revert on May 3rd was done because of my block.

I have asked two admins (in case one is offline) to revert his changes and put a block on the page until this can be worked out.

Thanks for your message; I hadn't known that songs and singles weren't included; CSD doesn't make that explicit, at least. What is the reason? (I hope it isn't just the "we want an article on every single ever released" lobby). --] (]) 14:44, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

i have other arguments. however, i wanted to approach this issue on a civil level. this article reminds me of the situation with other so-called "viral clip" marketing campaigns. I am aware the "show" is notable because its on sat. tv - however, it needs serious help and no one other than the main author has contributed much. thanks. ]

== Speedy deletion patrolling ==

Thanks for patrolling speedy deletions... as noted on your RFA, it's something that's widely seen as helpful. I just have one request... if you find a page that should be kept, could you do the minimal cleanup that new-page patrollers would do if they decided the page should be kept? The most obvious thing to check for is lack of a category (if you don't have time to find the proper one, it would be appreciated if you could tag it with {{tl|uncat}}).

Also, regarding , I understand that you would like A7 to not be applied to anything other than what it strictly says (eg. bands okay, albums no), and I generally view that as one acceptable interpretation of A7. However, the band page didn't exist, and therefore there was no assertion anywhere (either on the band page or on the album page) of importance for the band. Put another way, do you really believe there's a meaningful difference between someone posting "X Band is a band from Canada that's released one album, Y Album." as ], and instead posting that sentence as ]? Do you really believe the first case can be speedied but the second can't, just because its title is different? (that's just the policy question... in this case, the album also got , and the same author had already self-blanked the band page (resulting in its deletion before you ran across the album page), so hopefully it's not remotely a controversial deletion) --] 09:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:Yes. To be fair, I did intend to mention the album page to the author and got distracted by something else, but the two must be handled differently. But yes, they should and must be handled differently - it's widely the intent of the speedy policy to be handled strictly, and too many people are attempting to move the bar without discussing it. You were wrong to speedy that, mergism is hardly a policy, and you're really not being helpful with what you did gaming the policy like you did. I would very much appreciate you not doing so in the future, thanks. --] <small>]</small> 11:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:: The intent was not at all to game the system at all. No, mergism isn't policy, but thinking with my non-admin hat on, that's one of the classic cases where a page obviously needs to be moved to the more general one... sub-stub song article with a redlink album: move it; sub-stub album article with a redlink band: move it; sub-stub book article with a redlink author: move it. It had to be moved either way. I guess I could have moved it and left it as a proded band page, and updated the prod to note there were 0ghits and that the band page had already been speedied once... but the chances that someone else would come along and speedy it were pretty high.
:: ''Why'' should the exact same content be treated differently, based on what title it's posted as? --] 20:34, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Because community consensus is that we don't speedy those things. Attempts have been made and rejected to include those, and we should abide by that. I'm not in agreement with you, but that's as an editorial thing, not as an administrative one. --] <small>]</small> 20:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi BDJ,
I feel that some of your recent comments have grown progressively more and more combative. It seems to me as if you're approaching Misplaced Pages as a fight to be won instead of a... well, whatever it's supposed to be. Characterizing folks as abusive, calling people dishonest for disagreeing with you... these do much to hurt the project when I know that your interests are the polar opposite. Is there any way I can ask you to step back for a second before hitting save to see if there's any way your posts can be reworded to prevent strife? I know that it's not a one sided thing, there are plenty of folks out there that are just dicks, but if you can take the high road, it'll boost your credibility and put the burden on them to improve.

Hi,

I appreciated your points -- that's why I userfied it myself to clean. However, the consensus view was that further debate is unnecessary on this topic at this time... and I appreciate that view also.

== New people not grokking Ignore All Rules (and a lot of other stuff besides) ==

Yes, these are acculturation issues, which in turn are caused by scaling issues. I have seen precious few people actually working on ways to deal with acculturation. This is also how usenet, slashdot, and kuro5hin eventually faded away. I'm not sure I have the time myself, since I'm sort of trying to prevent acculturation issues wash away basic concepts about how wikis work.

I don't think it's a good idea to throw out what little wisdom we have accumulated over the past 6 years. Instead, it might be better to try to find ways to educate new people, and let them learn from our past mistakes.

Would you have any ideas on how to approach that? I think our current system is woefully inadequate. :-/ --] 00:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
:I can't really think of an answer that's likely to not get your eyes a-rolling, but I think it's not an issue of the new people grokking IAR (I love Heinlein, too), but the older people not grokking it.

To me, the question is, "How much would it suck to be put in a position where you obviously have to defy your own morals and sense of hypcrisy and act in a pragmatic way that will psychologically damage you for the rest of your life?", and the answer is, "A lot, but I'd torture the poor bastard anyway, and then go to therapy." --] <small>] / ]</small> 00:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

==Fair use rationale blitz !==
I totally agree with your opinions on the fair use thread. I am two minutes from sticking Misplaced Pages right where the sun doesn't shine ! I have no interest in the 'geeky' side of wikipedia, I write what I know about. I agree if somene feels they are making use of their time worrying about images like sports logos etc then putting the rationales right would be a far better way of doing that. One word of advise, never argue with stupid people. They just drag you down to their level and then beat you with their experience. Best wishes. ] 18:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

::"Unfortunately" the people who vote in wiki elections are likely the same people who want this policy :) Whilst the average reader is probably only interested in getting the best encyclopedia we can make, and that they don't have to pay for it, the average reader probably isn't a voter. Personally I commend your stand and enjoy a good natured dig at our "godking" system as much as the next guy, but I think the fair use images policy is a battle which has already been lost. I'm quite happy to help implement it, too. I share your concern about how far it might go, though; most worrying to me is album covers, but I think it's a bit silly disallowing promo shots from press kits too. I know we can exert pressure to get these under free licences in the future, but there's not much we can do about the material that's already out there and which ''nobody'' was sue us for using because that's what it was ''intended'' for. --] 18:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

First of all, "hacked" is the wrong word to use here. SHA-1 is still very much a one-way function and can never be "hacked" to obtain the original text that yielded the hash. The theoretical vulnerability (and I say theoretical because it hasn't been demonstrated in practice like the MD5 vulnerability has) is that you can find two messages that yield the same hash value. It is not, and likely never will be, possible to, with a given hash value, obtain a different message that also yields that hash value. Long story short, SHA-1 is more than good enough to protect your Misplaced Pages account. --] 03:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I've echoed the suggestions of Mackensen and others that you take this to ]. Your most recent reply on Mackensen's talk page is:

There are several problems with this response:
* Firstly a number of other editors have asked you to go through RfC: ], the closer or the first ] discussion, ], who as far as I can tell played no part in earlier discussions, ] who also seems to have been absent from earlier discussions, and ], an arbitrator who in rejecting the case said "If you can't be bothered with an RfC then we can't be bothered with an arbitration case." ] has also remarked on your failure to follow process here.
* Again you allege misconduct, on a scale too great "to wilfully ignore". If there appears to be such a level of misconduct and yet the arbitrators can't see it, it looks like you'll have to make it more apparent to them.


== Precious ==
But finally, despite all the others including arbitrators who have asked you to go to RfC, you say that I in particular am only asking you to go to RfC "to delay the inevitable". Well I'm not sure that you and I can agree on what "the inevitable" is in this case. To my eyes this looks a case on which you really ''wouldn't'' like to hear what the arbitrators have to say, and they've hinted on this in their comments on the case. But since they're obviously not going to accept the case until you've at least made an honest attempt to conduct some intermediate steps in dispute resolution, I'm urging you to do so. If an arbitration case follows, the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned, so get cracking. --] 12:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 15:21, 24 October 2024

Are we here to write an encyclopedia, or are we here to fuck around as a charity case while we fawn all over each other? Apparently, charity case. Nope, we're not an encyclopedia anymore.

Yes, I came back to vote in the ArbCom elections. It's the only reason I didn't make this account inaccessable.

No, I have no intentions to come back to edit. Not at this name, and probably not at any other, either.

If you're looking for me, you know where to find me.

I left when the Brandt article got deleted (thus the statement above), as it was one of my shortlist issues for giving up on the project. Many more have come to pass since the Brandt article deleted, so I wouldn't have lasted this long anyway.

If you tripped up on this, most of what's been said about me isn't true. As there's no reasonable appeals process, I'm forced to see my name slung through the mud for it. Such is Wiki-life. If I could turn back the clock, I'd change nothing except my original name.

Best of luck to the more reasonable of you in the future. --bdj

My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, and I'll do what I can to ensure your opinion of my suitability for adminship improves. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.--MONGO 04:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Not here

I came back to see you are no longer here. I'm going to have to say that I wish you hadn't left, as you were a major contributor to wikipedia. I enjoyed our conversations, even if it was more like a debate half the time. I hope in the future you can return and we can edit together again, working to improve wikipedia.

Misplaced Pages edit rate (x1000 per day)

History shows that the period of your dispute marked the end of the growth of Misplaced Pages, and the beginning of its decline. I am still uncertain of exactly how the damage occurred, but I suspect that if inclusionists had prevailed there, things might have gone differently.

In ongoing discussions, I'm told that WP:BLPBAN/WP:BLPLOG/WP:BLPSE were a "mistake" in imposing policy by fiat that the community resisted. That doesn't mean that any indication exists on those pages of a retreat, nor does the page I discussed it in, a proposed policy revision giving far more power to ArbCom, suggest any move in the opposite direction.
