| ==About Mindscript== | |||
| Yeah, I can see you added citations missing templates to many articles... If you had the time to tag the Mindscript article, you probably also have the time to help get the citations for that article, since the citations needed bit was well known by people working on that article, which might be five at most. That article really needs some help... Slartibartfast1992 22:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| I'm lazy. T-1 17:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| First of all, answer in my talk page or else I don't know whether you answered or not. I don't get the "You have a new message" if you just write it on your talk page. Seems like the first thing you did after getting a Misplaced Pages user was tagging all those articles, and it should be pretty embarassing to hear that after having a user for nearly a year. Second, and more importantly, just putting tags on pages and not actually helping to make the article better is not contributing. It's just being a (quoting my native language) reverendo pajero. Yes, that was the best way of expressing it. Now, as I was writing, you need to actually help get the citations or else you're just a tagging pest. If you're not gonna help, don't do the useless by tagging an article for something that's known. Mindscript doesn't have many sources since (guess what) it's a relatively new programming language which people haven't tried yet. The only people I know actually frequently use it are the Misplaced Pages user Coredev and I. No more mindscript users that actually know others exist. Hence, not many sources. So, are you going to help, or just uselessly tag articles? Slartibartfast1992 22:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| "Second, and more importantly, just putting tags on pages and not actually helping to make the article better is not contributing. It's just being a (quoting my native language) reverendo pajero. Yes, that was the best way of expressing it. Now, as I was writing, you need to actually help get the citations or else you're just a tagging pest. If you're not gonna help, don't do the useless by tagging an article for something that's known.". It's not useless, because otherwise the tags wouldn't exist. "Mindscript doesn't have many sources since (guess what) it's a relatively new programming language which people haven't tried yet. The only people I know actually frequently use it are the Misplaced Pages user Coredev and I. No more mindscript users that actually know others exist. Hence, not many sources." Then the mindscript article is violating Misplaced Pages's policy on notability and verifiability and should be deleted and probably will be. Again, I'm too lazy to do so. Goodbye. ] 23:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| No, not goodbye. There are probably hundreds of thousands of Mindscript users worldwide, but as I stated earlier, not many know others exist, thus they do not communicate. Besides, don't come saying "Misplaced Pages rules" or "standards" when you didn't even know you had to leave messages in the other user's page until yesterday. Also, the only function of tags is informing other users, but here's what goes on in your mind: "why actually work on the article while I can just put tags so let everybody else know that they should work on the article". Work yourself. There are many people dedicated to the Mindscript article but here you come, the useless tagger, put a tag on the article about which content is already known throughout the users of the article before you put the freaking tag there. Help a bit. You definitely fit what you call yourself: lazy. FYI: that's what pajero means, except in a vulgar and degrading way that fits you exactly, for some quite obvious reason.

| Anda a cagar, pedazo de mierda. Clearly with the humongously tiring edits that you perform, you don't have much time to waste. Tagging articles must really take up your time. Goodbye. Slartibartfast1992 14:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == I saw your post. == | |||
| I saw your post on ] and I was thinking to add a section about How us Argentines dont really use the word Gringo we instead use Yankee and it only meaning to someone from the US. How does that sound?(] 16:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)) | |||
| Well, yeah I know what you meant. But I am saying that and Us Argentines really dont use the word Gringo that much, we use Yankee much more often. Which is the "traditional Argentine Spanish" way of Saying it. I was thinking of putting that in the Article.(] 22:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)) | |||
| Maybe because you go to school with a lot of Americans and they use to Mexicans saying that. But generally speaking Us Argentines use Yankee much much more then Gringo. To me that just sounds ""muy Mexicano"". (] 22:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)) | |||
| The fact of the matter is Gringo sounds just that "muy Mejicano", especially in Argentina. If you dont think so then you are mistaken since "mexicano" you are right is also. (] 22:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)) | |||

| == BulletBall == | |||
| I have read the AfD discussion on BulletBall, and counting the comments it looks to me like there was NO consensus to merge. The consensus was to keep. Just because you edit the page and say "Consensus was to merge, discussion closed" does not make it so. Were I aware of the discussion while it was occuring, I would have added my keep vote. | |||
| And please try to keep your comments civil and professional when you leave messages on people's talk pages. Thanks. | |||
| --] 15:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Who made you the decider of what constitutes a valid argument or not? The consensus was to keep. And while you say "some" people voted for keep, it turns out more people voted for keep than for merge or delete. Do a Google search for BulletBall, and you get 9,500 references across the internet. When someone comes across one of them, and they want to know what it is, they come to Misplaced Pages. You are doing Misplaced Pages a disservice. I think it would be in everybody's best interest for you to leave the article alone and let the rest of the community take care of it. Find something productive to do, there is a lot to be done here. | |||

| == Deletion nomination - Anthony Chidiac == | |||
| Hi Slartibartfast *smiles* interesting nic - is there a history of why you use that? Anyway, I noted you "voted" to delete article on ] This is my first article I wrote a while ago now. It became an absolute train wreck of an article, and I was advised by admins to post a stub instead and just highlight the major notable things this guy has done. Its well sourced, references a small proportion of the mountain of articles out there on the guy, and links to other things he has contributed to in the global scheme of things. Could you please review the article again and maybe review your decision to delete? I would appreciate your time in doing so, as some very nasty stuff has been written on the AfD that is not true at all. Let me know where the article falls over as a stub and I promise to fix it when others start to expand on it. Appreciate your help and time. Hey, do you live in Latin America? I dont know geography of the area that much, but flamenco guitar artists are my passion. Could you point me to some wondrous, maybe unknown flamenco guitarists and their music? Thanks! T--] 01:37, 26 October 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :* G'day Slarti, thanks for the info and tips, I am very appreciative of them. What most saddens me is that i thought Argentina would be full of latin guitarists doing flamenco and lots of people partying and drinking, enjoying life. I guess you would think Australia is a lot of open space (mostly desert) and there are lots of kangaroos and koalas...well thats partly true. I think I need to read up more about argentina - know a good source of information? :) might try wikipedia! lol. Again, thanks for the tips, time, and message. T--] 01:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Yeas, sorry I was so slow. The last couple of months have been very busy- my Misplaced Pages contributions have been my lowest in years. Anyway, I did a few tweaks to the article and assessed it. It looks generally like the main bases have been covered, so I judged it to be a B. | |||
| I took out the "how to" information - an encyclopedia isn't supposed to include recipes for things (]). As for work left to do on the article, I think the main thing would be to add a structure and properties section -crystal structure, that sort of thing.

| :I think it would need a lot more work before it would make it as a good article. There are a lot of assertions in there that need clarifying and referencing, such as (in the opening paragraph), "quite likely a mixture..." I'm sure this is known, so either it is or it isn't; if it is the case, we need to cite a reliable source, if it isn't, it is wrong and we need to remove it. That sort of thing could apply. If Chris is not around, I may be able to locate the sources of the organic stuff he added, and maybe even to add to it. But probably not until the Christmas break...!

| Hello, again :) I was wondering if you thought changing the article name from ] to ] would be okay with you.

| == MedCab case == | |||
| Greetings, | |||
| I don't know if there are any hard and fast rules on how to handle mediation cases. I would suggest soliciting some concrete proposals from both sides in the discussion section of the Mediation page. Ultimately, the goal (I think) is to break the deadlock of a "permanent lack of consensus" that seems to have developed at ]. Good luck, ] (]) 02:12, 26 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : The short version of this referendum is to address the following question: Whether or not the section on Universal Health Care should remain in the article. If so, what bits of it should stay. Raggz feels (primarily) that the section does not comply with ]. | |||
| : There is a bunch of stuff on the talk page, and not all of it is relevant to this particular issue (though it would be nice if it also reached a wider editorial audience). To make matters worse, ] has recently archived much of the page (unfortunately including some still-live threads). This is good for the purpose of keeping discussion focused, but bad if you are trying to research a mediation case. ] (]) 02:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| I have replied to you on my own talk page, and I will opt to keep further discussions there, unless you have a strong preference otherwise. Cheers, ] (]) 03:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| === Universal health care dispute redux === | |||
| Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have taken some of Raggz's objections into consideration, and made some edits in the disputed section of ]. I admit that it is not perfect now, and Raggz certainly has new objections (as well as some positive remarks) concerning the current shape of things. So I am going to hold off to see how things develop before attempting to give an unbiased assessment here. | |||
| '''Disclaimer.''' If you want my biased assessment, on the other hand, I can give it to you. It seems to me that Raggz has already made up his/her mind that the disputed section should be removed, regardless of its contents. (Or, at the very least, until the contents represent entirely Raggz's POV.) Thus, despite attempting to address some of his/her concerns over balance and NPOV, Raggz continues to threaten deletion unless certain demands are met. | |||
| Furthermore, the demands that need to be met have changed since the last time around. What started out as Original Research is now going to be deleted because (according to Raggz) it fails to represent all sides of the issue. However, rather than attempt to engage in editing in a constructive way by providing references as to the other point of view, Raggz has opted yet again to threaten unilateral deletion. | |||
| This kind of behavior, citing Misplaced Pages policy to advance a particular agenda, and then constantly moving the goal posts, is (I believe) in violation of the behavioral guideline ]. At the very least it is ], and really frustrating to deal with. I'm not suggesting that you do anything about it, but it may be one reason why you have trouble finding a coherent position amid all of the noise. ] (]) 20:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == MedCab assistance == | |||
| How are things going with ]? Is there anything I could help with? You expressed a little confusion/frustration in the case page and I just want to lend a hand however I can. Cheers! ] (]) 17:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :No offense was intended in offering you a hand. I looked over the case page and you do express some mild confusion and frustration in a few places. Mostly, what I would provide is some suggestions and advice based on my experience and observations. Again, no offense was intended on my part. Please accept my apologies if it was construed in that fashion. ] (]) 17:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == Resp == | |||
| Hey Dude! Sorry for the late resp, congrads on getting a case on MebCab, it'll take patience but I'm sure you'll have it sorted. For the "how it was made section" you could use "development" or "production". Cheers, <b>]]</b> 00:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == No problem == | |||
| I will take a look over it and provide some feedback a bit later. I need to wander away from the 'net for a bit to take care of a few things. At worst, I'll get back to you within a day. Cheers! ] (]) 02:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == Opinions or facts? == | |||
| I am somewhat distressed by the line at the mediation case that we are "stuck in the second step because editors claim that their opinions are facts, so they do not need to cover both sides." Do you have any examples of this? I strongly dispute this characterization, for my own part, and would happily see a more extensive treatment of ''both'' sides of the debate. | |||
| I realize that I may have said something along the lines of "I state facts and not opinions." I also made quite clear from the context that I was referring to was giving proper attribution to opinions (e.g., of courts, rights organizations, governing bodies, notable figures, etc.) We can't go around stating opinions in Misplaced Pages's voice. There is no way to write an article on the subject of human rights at all if we are not allowed to cite the opinions of others. For instance, "According to the Supreme Court..." "Amnesty International claims..." (etc.) I note that Raggz's side of this argument has yet to identify a single line of text that does not pass his latest test of ]. (Previous tests have included ], ], ], and ]). | |||
| I have established (as a fact attributed to ]) several notable opinions regarding Universal Health Care and Human Rights, some asserting and some denying that it is a Human Right, and specifically focused on political commentary on the United States; that is to say, on both sides of the debate. If Raggz, or other involved editors, would like to contribute more voices to the debate, then those can and should certainly be incorporated. More research can clearly be done, but that will move the section in the direction of expansion, rather than removal. | |||
| However, the fact that Raggz has not engaged in any good-faith effort to add to the section (beyond advocating unwaveringly for its removal) clearly adds weight to my suspicion that Raggz's motive is, and has always been, to gut the section irrespective of its contents. For instance (quoting Raggz): | |||
| {{cquote|To this point: There is no reliable source that universal health care is a human right within the US. This absence makes the entire Universal Health Care section a SYN policy violation, and consensus is not required for removal. An effort for consensus was made, and considerable efforts expended, but in the end policy violations require deletion even without consensus.}} | |||
| This predilection for unilaterally citing policy in the name of making controversial deletions, and of constantly shifting the policy being cited, is a characteristic of ] editing, and of ]. (] is not the only article where Raggz has been causing problems for others. See also ].) If actual policy violations were taking place here, then other editors should be coming out of the woodwork to prevent them. Reports should have been filed (and listened to) at the Administrators' noticeboard. Users should have been blocked. None of this has happened, so I can only conclude that no policy is being violated. This is all posturing and bullying on the part of Raggz. | |||
| Therefore, I think that an important next step in this process is to ask Raggz what views he/she feels are underrepresented. If indeed my interpretation of your notes at the MedCab case is correct, then the primary issue seems to be that both sides of the debate have not been given a fair airing. So, let's hear it. Who are these unsung debaters of Universal Health Care and Human rights in the United States? ] (]) 04:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
