== Other neat portal ideas for longer term == == Shout out for Social Justice Warrior article ==

#Model intro with some rotating images, after ], ], ] and ].
#Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after ] and ].
#Portal palettes at ]. Comparable color schemes can be developed from the various hue lists at ]. Also see ].

== Dispatch ==

Cirt, you might be interested in writing a ] ] article on Featured portals (the only area of featured content we haven't covered). Sample previous articles are at {{t1|FCDW}}. We've covered:
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* And Featured articles many times: ], ], ]

None of them start out looking like that: if an editor initially just chunks in some text, many others chip in to tweak it up to Signpost standards. For example, someone wrote which Karanacs, Royalbroil and I turned into ], so if you just chunk in some text as a start, others can help finish it off. Another example, I put in and Karanacs brought it up to ]. Other editors have written almost complete and clean Dispatches without much need for other editing. If you're interested, please weigh in and coordinate at ] In case you're interested, you could just begin sandboxing something at ] and pop over to ] to leave a note when you're ready for others to help out. Regards, ] (]) 19:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

== ] ==

Let's keep both cites, can't hurt to have 2 cites at the end of a sentence. Also, please don't undo my formatting change - I have worked on standardizing/collapsing the "reiterman" cites so they do not appear numerous times in the References section, and I will eventually be redoing that with {{tl|citation}}/{{tl|harvnb}} - see ] for an example of how that will look in the end. ''']''' (]) 21:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

:The problem with that is that, for the moment, we've lost all of the Reiterman individual page numbers that I've cited for each event, aggregated them into one vague cited Raven ref and are just citing that ref.] (]) 21:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

:Also, the Singer cite was wrong. The Cessna attack didn't happen first. The Otter attack happened, then the Cessna attack. That's per Vern Gosney now on three different TV documentaries. So I just grabbed the Raven "concurrently" language and dumped the incorrect Singer cite.] (]) 21:48, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

== Purge tab Gadget ==

I noticed your addition of a purge tab Gadget; if you wrote it or understand JavaScript, I thought it might be interesting to compare my personal version of the code, which I think offers a few advantages, such as adding the "selected" class when <code>wgAction</code> is "purge". The code follows.

<source lang="javascript">
addOnloadHook(function() {
if (wgCanonicalNamespace != 'Special')
{
addPortletLink('p-cactions', wgServer + wgScript + '?title=' + wgPageName + '&action=purge', 'purge', 'ca-purge', 'Purge the server cache of this page', null, (document.getElementById('ca-watch') ? document.getElementById('ca-watch') : document.getElementById('ca-unwatch')));
//and apply the "selected" class, so that one can confirm that the page has been purged.
if (wgAction == "purge") {document.getElementById('ca-purge').className='selected';}
}
});
</source>

I'm not an expert at JavaScript, so I'd appreciate review, but this might be worthwhile to implement, in whole or in part. <nowiki>{</nowiki>{]<nowiki>|</nowiki><span class="plainlinks">]<nowiki>|</nowiki></span>}<nowiki>}</nowiki> 17:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Your really nice thanks, I enjoy reading your articles how can any one not Interested in cults and such not know you, You really are the king of Anonymous, you have really given so much to Misplaced Pages and so Much Knowledge, you are one of the reasons I found out about Scientology and one of the Major reasons my Senior Project was on Scientology and its misdoings. Your additions to Misplaced Pages are so great that if you decided to blank the front page several times people would say no that guys still cool because he addded 100 times what he deleted (although that might not be the best thing to do) Thanks Cirt you make Misplaced Pages Cool. --] (]) 17:35, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for telling Me ill see If I can Comment soon Im a little preoccupied now That guy seriously is obsessed with what he is doing more than I have ever been in Scientology on Misplaced Pages, I have no Idea how to stop these people if you ban them they might just come back in another account. Have you ever wondered if these people such as COFS are doing stuff on Misplaced Pages just to tell their friends that Misplaced Pages is Bigoted and do not believe what they say about Xenu and Operation freakout. I dont Know, I do however think the evidence points to COFS being only a sock puppet along with others however thats just my Novice opinion thanks. --] (]) 20:59, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

== ] ==

In view of the fact that the article changed markedly from the original article I proposed for deletion I believe that your closing rationale requires more than "the result was delete". Please would you revisit your closure and extend your rationale. ] (]) 07:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:The restoration probably makes the most sense. It may still come out as "delete", which is fine if it does. ] (]) 07:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

== Re:] ==

I'm actually not sure, I think the images are formatted so that it is impossible to put them side by side. Besiedes, it would create a lot of empty space (whitespace) in the rest of the rows. I think the best option would be to either stick with three or preferably, just pick one image. Or, if you don't mind sacrificing sortability, you could give each individual winner their own row (see ] for an example). -- ]<sup>]</sup> 12:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Cirt. Just to get an easy start I added one DYK to complete ]. I came up fine right there, but didn't show up over at ]. How come? I feel kind of hesitant about continuing the updating as long as I don't know why the first attempt did not lead anywhere. Stranger still, when I hit "edit this page" at Portal:Norway/DYK, and then "Show preview" my update shows up just fine. ] (]) 00:02, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== ] ==


Could you please reconsider your closure of this AfD. I think it is pretty clear that the subject of the article is notable and as only four editors (including nom) participated in the AfD (two of them before my keep !vote which I think cited enough coverage to justify an article), and the only editor to vote !delete after my comment did not address either the study or the other magazine article that I cited but had not yet added to the article. I suggest that you re-list so a fully educated consensus can form. ] (]) 02:51, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

==Suspicion==
Cirt, I suspect a user to be a sock of a bunch of users/socks you previously blocked. ] has very similar intrests to ] and ] (not just ], but the creation of improbable and numerous redirects to it, including an interest in ], posting to Jimbo's page, making similar statements on their user page , and an interest in ] (edited by Mrlob, the bold guy, and this new editor). This new account wsa created ten days after the previous accounts were blocked. He is also editing unconstructively (in part), adding his name to a number of articles and creating a redirect from his name in main space to his user page. Redirecting ] to ] is pure vandalism as well. IS this sufficient to block him, do you prefer a checkuser, or am I imagining things? ] (]) 11:50, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
