| As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. | |||
| I appreciate the retraction. I understand where your coming from as the recent level of vandalism has taken a very different turn than the early vandalism the project experienced. It used to be someone posted "poopyface", some bad word, or changed a random fact and they left. Lately, the level of disruption includes sleepers, intricate long term plots, trust abusers, etc and the admin response has been ratcheted up. My concern is that innocents are being caught up and that puts a black mark on the whole project as there have been more and more "I got banned for editing X" posts growing on forums around the Internet. Sleepers are always a problem but they will be caught eventually as they will want to continue the behavior that caused their main account to be banned (the very definition of a sleeper). In the mean time, if they do contribute positively to the project, the project wins. <br /> | |||
| <br /> | |||
| I think your proposal is a decent one compared to the alternatives. I still don't like the secret evidence thing but it is the lesser of two evils. I am going to go back to vandal patrol now as I need to rethink my contributions to the admin side of this whole thing. I just put my ] created from scratch article out and want to keep improving the project's view of my little corner of the world.

| One more comment about Greg and you. Self-promotional half-truths that are at best misleading, and according to higher ethical standards constitute lies, are so common in the media as to be literally unremarkable; while at organizations with exacting standards of validity/truth such as what Misplaced Pages ''aspires'' to be it is a cause of great concern. Greg's self-promotional misleading statements at Misplaced Pages are cause to exile him from Misplaced Pages because his efforts here are incompatible with the aims and goals of a NPOV encyclopedia; but his similar efforts in talking to the media are par for the course in that venue. Greg has shown too little understanding that Misplaced Pages is not a part of "the media" as he understands it; while you seem not to distinguish between his self promotion on Misplaced Pages and off of it. "Well, that's just Greg promoting himself again" is better than "Greg is lying about Misplaced Pages!" Nuance and savoir-faire are always useful. ] 22:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

So I put it in the byline to reduce that hassle, and now he tries to insinuate that I'm on the make. I view this as outreach - a proactive effort to prevent COI, spam, and related problems before they occur. If the idea that this constitues a COI gains traction, then that would effectively exclude everyone who knows Misplaced Pages site standards and policies well enough to explain them from communicating to the public in other venues.

| Hi Durova, long time since I bothered you last. User TTN is actively wiping out TV episode articles because of an interpretation that he and a minority came to.

He is going around Misplaced Pages deleting and redirecting all articles ''he deems as unworthy'' of wikipedia. Many, and I also believe, this is in violation of POV, ], OWN, and possibly others. This has been balked at by the majority and even when consensus is sought on the article, that one editors overrules the consensus with his opinion and redirects the articles. I don't believe this is what wikipedia is about and I feel that he is alienating many. His user page gives a good example of those who disagree with him. When someone asks him why, he directs them to ] or something like that. I also believe that he is guilty of violating ] on many counts, but he states he is not and that I am misinterpreting it.

Interest In Learning Restoration Practices
Durova, per your userpage I am reaching out to see what I can assist with in re: restoration of images or other documents that can be uploaded to Misplaced Pages/Wikimedia. I have no knowledge of this subject at the moment and am a fledgling user, so any information you have will be beneficial—necessary programs, practices and all the rest. Cheers!

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
- updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mattbr 07:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
