| == Yuku help == | |||
| Misplaced Pages has a problem with the article about the message board system called Yuku. I believe the disruptions have been going back and forth for several years. Could you please have a look at the end of the part called objectivity? Seems like a couple of the editors are mostly interested in a negative angle because of their own personal negative experience. I don't believe this kind of editing is in harmony with the pillars of the Misplaced Pages. | |||
| --] (]) 07:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi. I don't see any evidence of a problem in the article. As far as the discussion is concerned, if the people who want to include criticism about Yuku find reliable sourcing to verify its accuracy and if it is properly weighted according to ], then its inclusion wouldn't be a problem. Take a look at the article on ] for example, with its criticism section. We can't disallow people from editing an article just because they don't like something, or we would also have to disallow people from editing it if they ''like'' it. :) We ] until an editor demonstrates that the assumption is obviously mistaken. --] <sup>]</sup> 12:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| The guy posted the link to his own private blog. The blog is a diary of his private vendetta with this online service. He had probably removed the link when you looked. If you have seen the blog, you would probably see it is not in good faith. I understand your point though and I had already read the part about good faith. | |||
| I also thought wiki was based on editors working for consensus. He is constantly removing anything anybody is writing that may be positive. He has chased away all the other editors. It is just amazing. It makes people stop believing in Misplaced Pages. It is sad. He is using the Misplaced Pages for his private battleground. Could you please keep an eye on us? Although, I will probally give up just like the others.--] (]) 16:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Ah, yes. I missed that. Misplaced Pages is ''supposed'' to be about working for consensus. I can keep an eye on the article, but given our prior relationship suspect that the other editor would not find me an uninvolved party. ] process lists a few places you can go for assistance to find uninvolved editors. ] is a good place when there are only 2 editors involved. Another good first step is to ask for input from a related wikiproject (I can't think of one!) or policy page. You seem to be doing a good job engaging him in dialog. --] <sup>]</sup> 18:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :Well, he may be. :) "Good faith" refers to his attitudes towards and actions on ''Misplaced Pages''. His userpage says he's trying to ensure "accurate information" in the articles, which is within ]. As I said above, we can't stop everyone who dislikes something from editing articles about it anymore than we can stop everyone who likes it from editing those articles. It all comes down to what he's actually doing at the page. It may not be fun butting heads against somebody who is approaching a topic from a very different perspective than you, but it's probably actually better for the project that you are. As long as all involved can remain civil in your negotiations, it will probably result in a balanced, well-sourced article. Sometimes this leads to lots of discussion behind the scenes! If you feel like his edits are ''not'' motivated by a desire to keep Yuku neutral rather than overly positive, you might want to request assistance at the ], but I see that you managed to reach compromise . --] <sup>]</sup> 16:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == Re: Category:Wikipedians interested in books == | |||
| The problem is that the ] is severely backlogged, so the page is still showing up in the category. When you remove a category from a template, the page transcluding that template will still show up in the category until the job queue catches up and removes it. There are several other categories on the working page that have been correctly emptied, just waiting for the same thing. If you look at the bottom of the page and you don't see the category, then it will disappear when the job queue catches up. So you are free to remove Category:Wikipedians interested in books from the working list, good work! ] (]) 18:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Moon, | |||
| Regarding the speedy deletion, an NPR piece on my latest commissioned work, will be heard on NPR's some time in the next week or two. The radio piece has been completed and picked up by the show, it is just a matter of scheduling as to when they will fit it in (it is a news show and the major news stories come first). Once the piece is broadcast, I will meet the basic criteria (if I don't already) for musician entries "Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network". Several of my pieces have also been exhibited in notable new media and network art exhibits, but there doesn't seem to be a criteria that includes those within the WP:MUSIC guidelines. Many thanks! ] (]) 19:35, 23 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

Figures that my answer to the ] call for assistance in that department would bring me into something controversial. :) I've never seen an XfD launched so soon after closure (I spend most of my time in the ] neightborhood) and will watch to see how it is handled. Just to note, while I have almost no experience in CfDs and even less in UCfD, I did note that there seems to be a trend in this direction. I myself closed a cold UCfD debate of a very similar nature: consensus was to depopulate ]. Currently up is ]. I would guess that categories that are viewed as too general or too specific are regarded as problematic. I'll watch your renewed conversation, and if it develops in such a way that I might be able to offer something of value, I will certainly chime in. And if it results in the category being ''re''populated, I will slog through my contribution list backwards.

| hey there. | |||
| OK so I post a about the incessant anti-Semitic rants by an editor all over an article Talk Page, and I get told by some supposed admin to "shut the hell up?" I get a warning on my talk page about calling an editor a Nazi (I understand the rule about calling people you disagree with nazis, but soes it apply when they ''are'' nazis?) Fine I'm used to abuse here, but noone will address the substantive issue. If I am going to be abused for bringing a complaint about a clear violation of talk page policy, not to mention rancid anti-Semitism on talk pages, I am out of here muy pronto. Any suggestions? thanks in advance, again. ] (]) 01:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Well, I'd hate for you to leave. I see there's already ] quite active in that talk page. If I were in your position, the first place I would have headed would have been to ]. Then I'd have gone to ]. ''But'' I note that you seem to be having trouble remaining calm in conversation with this individual. I'm afraid that this is not going to help your case on any board. Readers who come in later cannot easily trace the emotional evolution of a disagreement. If it seems that civility has broken down on both sides, they may perceive you as contributory to the problem. I honestly think the best way to make your case is to remain calm and civil, even if the other editor does not. --] <sup>]</sup> 02:34, 25 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Well each time I asked that editor to refrain from posting anti-Semitic rants on that page, it got worse and devolved further into Jew-baiting of me. Call me ], but anything less than a zero tolerance attitude towards anti-Semitic, racist sexist etc etc ranting and baiting of editors is too much tolerance for me. I cannot accept that I am to remain "civil" and not respond to such viciousness on the part of twisted editors, while admins look the other way in the face of their clear violations of ] (they should at least enforce that, if they're not going to take a stand against vile anti-Semitism being spouted in this project). Thanks, but I remain dismayed. ] (]) 03:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::Okie, besides ranting (or in additon to ranting) I took your always sage advice and posted . Took a handful of Pepsids to stomach wading through this editors racist claptrap again. And not a little ironic to me to have to complain about a vicious anti-Semite violating so dainty a sounding thing as "Wikiquette." I picture the Nuremberg trials, and a series of Nazis slapped on the wrist for their lapses in etiquette ("Mr Goring, yuor just a mean, mean man!"). But thats just me. In any case, this user's rants will stop; I think you know that when I set my little mind to something....:) Cheers, ] (]) 03:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::::I understand that it is very difficult to remain civil in some circumstances, but in my experience it helps if you focus on the larger picture. (I also understand your dismay. I have learned that even though ] is ''policy'', it is not consistently enforced.) Perhaps it would help you to consider it this way: civility is intrinsically intertwined with civilization. It is a mark of a civilized society that it can treat even its enemies with fairness and dignity. Civil discourse doesn't mean accepting villainy; it just means not descending to that level ourselves. We take our criminals to trial, but we don't taunt them from the stand or behind bars. Further, in public discourse, conversations are witnessed. It pays to remember that even if we cannot persuade our opponent, we may be persuading those who stand by. If our message is not muddied by insults and sarcasms, others hear it more clearly. (They hear it when it's muddied by insults and sarcasms, too, but generally then it titillates baser emotions; I'd rather sway their reason than be a spectacle for their enjoyment.) Finally (and the most petty reason), it can be personally very satisfying when others try to ] you to refuse to be goaded. You know that you are depriving them of the satisfaction of seeing you lose your cool, you are displaying yourself and your beliefs better for onlookers, and you are demonstrating that you are a person of superior honor. Please do not confuse civility with capitulation. While it ''can'' be a mask for retreat, when coupled with action it is a position of strength, requiring self-restraint, that does not in any way hamper a pursuit of justice or truth. I appreciate that you are determined in pursuing your goals. You were right in your suspicions about ], and it takes courages to pursue an investigation of that sort when faced with discouragement and disbelief. Every society (including Misplaced Pages) needs people with passion and courage in their convictions. I would not wish to diminish yours. I would encourage you to modulate your approach merely to help you achieve your goals and to make sure that you yourself remain within policy while attempting to address problems created by others who you believe have not. --] <sup>]</sup> 14:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Hey there, thanks, again. I appreciate your taking the time for a thoughtful response, and I will take it to heart. I am aware of the distinctions with respect to civility you've delineated; I just perhaps see the demarcations on different coordinates on the map. In my personal experience, perhaps differing demographically and experientially from yours and other Wikipedians', my responses have been the epitome of civility. That is because my "crowd" has zero tolerance for anti-Semitism and the various other isms. You might not want to be around us when we are . Mind you, I am not in any way infringing upon anyone's 1st amendment or Misplaced Pages rights. I am challenging this slime strictly as a glaring violation of ]. Admins can feel free to warn me all they want, just in the end uphold the policy., anything short of that IS capitulation and coddling of vile hatemongers. | |||

| Thanks a lot for your helpful reply. A question I have now is this: If I rewrite the article (or write any other article for that matter), is there a way I can get it approved, so to speak, before actually posting it as an article, to ensure that the article is acceptable before posting and won't get deleted? If so, and if I could get feedback if my article isn't up to standard, then I could make a quality article, rather than simply having the article deleted like what happened to me, which really wasn't productive for anyone. I appreciate any information you have, and if you wouldn't mind posting your reply on my talk page again, that would be great. Thanks. | |||

| Welcome
If you are here with questions about an article I have deleted or a copyright concern, please consider first reading my personal policies with regards to deletion and copyright, as these may provide your answer. While you can email me to reach me in my volunteer capacity, I don't recommend it. I very seldom check that email account. If you do email me, please leave a note here telling me so or I may never see it. I hardly ever check that account. To leave a message for me, press the "new section" or "+" tab at the top of the page, or simply click here. Remember to sign your message with ~~~~. I will respond to all civil messages. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply; I will leave you a "talkback" notice if you request one and will generally try to trigger your automatic notification even if you don't. (I sometimes fail to be consistent there; please excuse me if I overlook it.) If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it, but I would nevertheless appreciate it you could trigger my automatic notification. {{Ping}} works well for that. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, feel free to approach me here. Admins, if you see that I've made a mistake, please fix it. |

During my current work interim position, I have found myself with not a lot of spare time that isn't consumed by family. I can go long periods without logging in to Misplaced Pages. If you have an urgent note for me here, please consider alerting me via email at mdennis
wikimedia.org. (This is my work email address, and I do not mix work and volunteering, but mailing that address makes sure I will see it promptly, usually within a day.) If not urgent, I'll come by as soon as I can, and I heartily welcome talk page stalkers. :) Oh, I have discovered that sometimes when people don't tell me it's a volunteer contact, I have handled it with the wrong hat on. Please make which "me" you want clear!

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Long time no see!
Hi. A former helper of copyright clean-up here who last interacted with you a long time ago! I know you haven't been as active as you used to be, but thought I'd let you know that we have a new candidate for adminship that's keen to help out in CCI. If ever you'd like to take an interest in Copyright cleanup again, I'm sure she'd be happy to collaborate with you. If not, that's OK, just saying hello to you.
