== Administrators' newsletter – February 2024 ==
I think you are too sensitive to the classic definition of mongrel. Do you like MUTT better? Our next President (to whom I donated much money) referred to himself as such. I live in So Cal and we are not only a mutli-ethnic but increasing a mixed society. I'm guessing you are not exposed to such as all of my background (Heinz 57 plus a dash of other spices) think the term American Mongrel is both amusing and appropiate.


] from the past month (January 2024).
Why don't you get out of your box ask some multi-cultural people (of all colors and backgrounds) what THEY think?

The page "Stephen Epstein" title is far too generic. There are multiple physicians with that name. While the easiest thing to do would be to change the title of the article (which I cannot seem to do), the next best thing is to start a new page for the single person that article refers to, but make the title of that article more specific.

== Tagging of pornographic actresses as spam ==
:] {{hlist|class=inline

|]
}}


</div>
Really your comment that the porn actresses wiki pages are not spam and valid wiki pages is so absurd I dont know where to begin. First off all of those pages were created by kink.com and are first referenced and linked off of their wiki kink.com showing a list of the so called females porn actors that have starred in their productions. First if someone creates a wiki about a person, as I have in the past, and that person per se is notable to their community, or to their career or have done things that appear to be notable a wiki editor will delete it in a matter of about 10 seconds after it is posted since that person has to be mentioned somewhere in the news or media like cnn etc.. Ok, so be it, then please explain how someone more than likely using a fake "screen name" that all they had to do was spread their legs and get gang banged in a cheap porn flick, and now that gives them notability to appear in and have their own wikipedia site?

===Oh Really?====
* Following a ], ] (the topic and interaction bans on ], respectively) were repealed.
Let´s just walk through a simple scenerio shall we? John or Mary doe of 13 years of age are doing a school report on an idea that came from their discovery that by placing "kinks" in their garden hose they can make water shoot out much faster. They go to wikipedia since their parents allow that content as its "ok" an ecylocpedia. They enter the words "kink" and arrive at the kink.com wikipedia. Then as the page was before they are invited to a whole different subject than kinks in hoses and make a click on "ana cruzes" link and arrive at a explicit porn page with the title "Im the bitch that your mother warned you about...", well you know with nice pornographic pictures that show and tell all. His/her father happens to be a badass attorney and is quite offended when john/jane doe shows what they discovered in wikipedia. So under many laws, not withstanding, the "Communications deceny act" or the "contemporary community standards" laws or "corruption of a minor", a case is launched agaisnt wikipedia and its editors. Turns out since the editors have the ability to "speak for wikipedia" by approving or disapproving changes etc to content that they themselves not only represent wikipedia but also are not free from personal liability in this matter end up forking the bill for a 100 million plus lawsuit. It seems there is a strange US law that states that all "indecent" material as porno that is hosted on the web on US servers, has to have a simple warning on the home page that the person who is about to visit this site must be over 18 years of age.. etc.. Strange but I didnt see that in any of the 100 plus porn star wikipedias. So the 6 million dollars that wikipedia is trying to raise may not be enough to withstand the lawsuits that will come from the open and blatant access to porn to minors which the wiki "porno portal" path is embarking. All the cute and bold phrases that "wiki doesnt censors" and "they are notable" probable wont mean a whole lot when this "porno portal" of wikipedia ends up exposing wikipedia and its editors to all kinds of civil (oh and criminal) liability from the jane and john does that unfortunately end up on porn pages by doing simple research projects etc.. Dont forget that wikiporn, like any other porn will run agaisnt really ugly laws in the US and about 50 other countries world wide who really dont jive on minors having access to graphic porn. Good luck. Oh and gogo all of the porn actresses tagges originated from the kink.com wiki.

Thank you

For this . Since they're hopping from one sock to the next, those articles really need to be locked. Cheers, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 05:21, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

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,

WMF Research Team
