| == Revert this vandalism? == | |||
| |type = notice | |||
| |image = ] | |||
| This looks like vandalism to me. The quote may or may not be true, but it's presumably verifiable and attacks on the credibility of the author look as if they fall flat on their face (as well as coming from a racist and dubious source). The revert certainly bears no relation to anything in talk, to which no contribution has been made by the editor in question (I can't see any contribution to Talk from him in the last 6,000 words). Shall I simply go ahead and re-revert for vandalism, over-riding usual I-P restrictions? ]<sup><small>]</small></sup> 19:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| |style = background:Darkgreen;border: 1px solid #CC9999; | |||
| :Actually, Ryan, a more pertinent question is why is PR an obvious hoax quote, inserted by an antisemitic IP editor? (See ], where this absurd canard is rightly dismissed by editors from all sides). Given this on-going tendentious editing, combined with his continual use of Talk: pages as ], I'm highly tempted to block him myself, but given that you're his mentor, I thought I should let you take action. Your thoughts? ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 02:32, 23 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ::As I made plain, I'm not commenting on the correctness or otherwise of this quote (it seems odd that we have to go to an ancient periodical for a citation to this quote from Menachem Begin). However, it's removal was clearly vandalism, presumably based on IDONTLIKEIT and backed by a fraudulent summary - from a source known to cheat (including an attempt on the administration of WP) and, for instance, (apparently due a long history of making tendentious complaints). | |||

It hardly seems like the action of a level-headed administrator facilitating improvements to the project. But I'm used to this targeting of me, Jayjg recently threatened to block me if I ever again named the world's only (?) main-stream convicted denier! I'm still waiting for a consensus on WP:HATE-SOURCES, the concept is well-understood indeed, but applied in a shockingly partisan fashion, with people even being blocked for citing the gentle, careful and (almost certainly) accurate work of the really quite notable "JewsAgainstZionism.com" ]<sup><small>]</small></sup> 13:51, 23 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hey Ryan. I note that you've opened an arbcom case for ], and added it to this template. Not sure how to fix it, but I'm getting everything as a redlink - since there's no actual evidence page (everything being private in e-mail to the cmte), should the links go somewhere else?

| ::and I just EC'd here telling you to ignore that, as you've fixed it.

| == MP redesign proposal coding fixes implemented == | |||
| I've implemented the coding fixes for you at your request (]), though it would have been a lot easier if you told me to do so two weeks ago when I offered it. Nevertheless the major fixes are in place, though I still recommend that you clean up and revise your code (for example: you closed more tables than you opened, wikipedia isn't suppose to allow the h2 tag ], you shouldn't need to add a margin each time just to align your boxes, the top three sections doesn't even make sense, and so on). In aestetics Misplaced Pages doesn't use a white (#FFFFFF) background because it supposedly irritates or provokes people, instead it uses a slight blue-green color (#F8FCFF). | |||
