| Please, stop reverting. I am correcting the information in the article. Wozniak did not design Breakout, Nolan Bushnell did. Woz programmed it. While Steve Jobs was working at Atari, Bushnell asked if he could do, he said yes, and then asked Woz if he could help him out. Woz ended out coding the original. How can "nobody" not program a game, if it had not been programmed, it would not exist. I do know what programming means, I am a programmer in my spare time. You should also read some books on the subject, such as ''Infinite Loop'' by Michael S.Malone which speaks of the topic when Jobs was working at Atari and got Woz to program the original Breakout for Bushnell. Breakout was hardware and software, you know. Maybe it should say 'programmed and designed' for Atari/Bushnell or something similar. — ] 11:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

''Constructive'' discussion is another matter. But as I've said on the talk page: this is not going to get any sort of consensus to begin with. Rather than second-guessing the second-guessing of the project, it's probably better to let this run its course and make up the inventory.

However, lengthening the period for a VFD nom is not really going to help - the only thing that would seriously let people join is having a smaller VFD page. However, 80%-90% of nominated articles are unanimously deleted, so arguably there is good function to most VFD nominations.

| Hey Mirror Vax, | |||
| I also think Gary Matsumoto's entry belongs on the page. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg and Don Foster also conned scientists into believing them. So, the fact that some gullible scientists agreed with Gary doesn't make him right. He's still promoting an unverified theory that is different from the theories being promoted by the others on the list. Things he claims to be "facts" are definitely NOT facts. In his Science article, he simply dismissess facts from acknowedged experts and presents his own "facts" from NON-experts who support his beliefs. He may be the only "journalist" on the list, but Barbara Hatch Rosenberg is the only scientist on the list, Don Foster is the only teacher of literature on the list, Ross Getman is probably the only lawyer on the list, Richard Smith is the only practicing "computer expert" on the list, etc. | |||
| Hi Mirror Vax, | |||
| First of all, thank you for addressing Mr. Matsumoto's objection. It appears he is still unsatisfied. I am copying the text of the message he left on my talk page (he may not realize that to talk to you, he needs to be on your page, and since he has a dynamic IP, messages left for him on his talk page he may never see). I'm quite unfamiliar with the article and the issues involved, beside my casual collision with it on the evening news. Here is his post, in italics: | |||
| '''''MIRROR VAX:''' I have deleted my revised entry, again. In all fairness, I am, as far as I can tell, the only journalist on this list. I object to you making me an exception. I did ''not'' propogate a theory, as did everyone else on your list. I reported facts that had been, my ''Science'' magazine article, reviewed by scientists as well as editors. This specific article was also supported by footnotes and a bioliography. That is lot more than I can say for all the journalists who ''did'' propagate theories, but have been spared the ignominy of being on your list. For example, Nicholas Kristof of the New York ''Times'' wrote several high profile columns in America's newspaper of record, accusing "Dr. Z"/Dr. Steven Hatfill of being the most likely anthrax mailer. Marilyn Thompson did the same in the Washington ''Post'' Magazine; NYT's Judith Miller implied as much in a front page piece she wrote on Hatfill's work in constructing mock BW labs on wheels. Brian Ross of ABC News said Hatfill's arrest as the anthrax mailer "was imminent." These are bona fide journalists who not only advanced theories on how the anthrax was made, they advanced theories on who mailed it ... all without providing verifiable physical evidence or testimony to link Hatfill to the crime. All the individuals that I listed above have more in common (Hatfill) with Don Foster and Barbara Hatch Rosenberg than I do. Yet I am on your list. Scott Shane of the Baltimore Sun broke the story that a U.S. Army lab was actually making weaponized anthrax, but he is not on the list.'' | |||
| ''So I object to Misplaced Pages's inaccuracy; its inconsistency and the arbitrariness in its choices. Putting me on this list equates my work with anti-Semites, with Internet conspiracy-mongers and with people whose work is now the subject of litigation. As I pointed out in my previous message, I have no website advancing a theory behind this crime. My ''Science'' article was reviewed by a half dozen Ph.D.s and vetted by nearly as many senior editors at one the most highly regarded science journals in the world. My ''Science'' article is cited in formal papers published in peer-reviewed science journals and is also cited in Ph.D. dissertations written by scientists working for U.S. government laboratories doing biodefense research.'' | |||
| ''Your entry for Gary Matsumoto was, for many months, grosssly inaccurate. Now, the revised copy - an alleged sop to a disgruntled subject - fails to provide context that would enable a reader to distinguish me from individuals whose work has been discredited as inaccurate and defamatory (and is the subject of litigation), or from individuals whose work ''should'' be discredited for its substandard quality. Inclusion on your list is a dishonor. Kindly leave me off it, or in fairness, add to it every journalist who has written or broadcast about the 2001 anthrax attacks. '''Sincerely, Gary Matsumoto''''' | |||
| :I hope it will not hurt if I add a comment here: Mirror Vax, I urge you to act with extreme restraint if you wish to restore anything to the anthrax article concerning Mr. Matsumoto. Reporters are career professionals whose livelihood depends on their reputation for accuracy and neutrality. Putting Mr. Matsumoto onto a list of theory advocates could unfairly harm his reputation. If anything, he belongs in a discussion of reporting by the legitimate press, but in fact I think it would be best to say nothing about him at all. I hope you will understand and cooperate. Sincerely, ] 04:36, 15 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ::Gary's "context" was shameless self-promotion, which Misplaced Pages standards of fairness and neutrality do not permit. I did add the qualifier "professional" to "journalist", just in case anybody thought otherwise. Gary's article is mentioned because it is important and noteworthy. He seems to agree. So the complaint comes down to the fact that he doesn't want to be mentioned in the same article with other people, unless the article reads like a book jacket ("Gary is an award-winning journalist...") | |||
| ::Is Misplaced Pages often inaccurate, inconsistent, arbitrary, etc.? Yes, of course! That is inherent in the process. Does that give someone with a sensitive ego the right to vandalize articles? No, it does not. ] 08:07, 15 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
| '''MIRROR VAX:''' First you say Misplaced Pages has standards of "''fairness and neutrality''." In your very next paragraph you say that Misplaced Pages is "''often inaccurate, inconsistent, arbitrary, etc.''." Is that so? Why: "''Yes, of course!''" you say, as if this were something to be proud about. | |||
| Misplaced Pages is an arbiter of "fairness and neutrality," but it is "often inaccurate and arbitrary"? Well, which is it? As you insist on having it both ways, how about Misplaced Pages is also an "illogical, hypocritical champion of double standards; and proud of it?" | |||

| By including me on your list of Internet conspiracy-mongers and lawsuit defendants, without also including any of my journalist colleagues in the MSM, Misplaced Pages is hardly fair or neutral. It equates my article in ''Science'' with junk journalism and blindly sourced Internet screeds. Thus, you are making an editorial judgment whose neutrality and fairness I challenge. For months, the author of the Gary Matsumoto entry couldn't even get his/her facts straight when all that was required to do so was read the article. To be equated with the likes of Robert Pate is not oversensitivity; it is an objection to a gratuitous insult. | |||
| == About The ] == | |||
| There is nothing fair or neutral about listing me with the likes of Pate. It is bias through context. You refer to my work in ''Science'' in the same breath as an article, Pate's, which is on the website of National Vanguard, a group that bills itself as '''"''an intelligent and responsible organization that stands up for the interests of White people''."''' What is National Vanguard? Well let's go to the source. On its website, National Vanguard complains that '''"''especially in the United States, Jewish interests hold a massive amount of power, far beyond what one would expect based on their population numbers. Jews dominate the mass media, which shapes opinion and cultural values, and have a strong hand in the political scene at all levels''."''' Is that so? | |||
| Mirror Vax, are you the kind of person who goes to a movie theater to watch a show, and once the show is over, sneaks in to another one only to catch few minutes before the end? Why don't you read all the comments before assuming all that? I actually ended up contributing to this article, making it read more comprehensible (So far, no one has reverted anything). Nothing of relevance has been deleted either, and your name was not smeared with false accusations. The ] is doing just fine and several users promised to make sure it remains free of nonsense. So, congratulations on your contribution to WP and come back, don't be a sour-puss :-). ] 06:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
| If you'll pardon the religious reference here Mr. Mirror Vax, there are, according to the liturgy of the Episcopal Church, sins of omission and sins of commission. In Misplaced Pages's anthrax letter article, you sin both ways. You commit blatant factual errors; and then compound those errors by omitting information that would help Misplaced Pages readers assess how much weight they should give to one set of facts over another. I think that readers of Misplaced Pages's anthrax letter article ''should'' know that Robert Pate is "a researcher" for National Vanguard and that he published his anthrax article in National Vanguard's magazine and on its website, which openly decries '''"''the chaos being created by Zionist-inspired U.S. meddling in the affairs of other nations, and the certainty that multiracialism is a death sentence for any society that attempts it''."''' | |||
| Robert Pate's article is titled: "The Anthrax Mystery: Solved." And what is Pate's solution? Israel and agents of Zionism did it! | |||
| ==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Repton1983.gif== | |||
| '''''"Israel’s objective was to bring America into a new war against Iraq. When the al-Qaeda plot was discovered, Israel let the terrorists proceed, thereby insuring America would go to war. The anthrax attack that followed was the bio-terror event needed to focus America’s attention upon Iraq and its alleged weapons of mass destruction. However, Israel had planed the anthrax attacks upon America years before the discovery of the al-Qaeda plot. The anthrax hoaxes that preceded the anthrax attacks were an integral part of the conspiracy,"''''' he writes. | |||

| The anthrax attacks were a part of carefully planned Zionist conspiracy to manipulate America into declaring war on Iraq? Oh ''really''? Which brings me to the reasons that you give for including me in Pate's illustrious company. In rebutting my complaints you say to a third party that "Gary's article is mentioned because it is ''important and noteworthy''." | |||
| If importance and noteworthiness are the standard for inclusion on your list, does that mean you believe Robert Pate's Goebbels-esque invective is important and noteworthy too? If you do, then I would conclude that that judgment alone - if that is what you truly believe - says something about you that most people, National Vanguard readers excepted, would consider unflattering. | |||
| ==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:The Castles of Doctor Creep.gif== | |||
| I believe Misplaced Pages readers would benefit in knowing something about Pate's ideological proclivities. They might also benefit in knowing that Barbara Hatch Rosenberg's work is the basis of the Nick Kristof columns for which the New York ''Times'' is now being sued for defamation; and that Don Foster's "Hatfill-did-it" article has gotten ''Vanity Fair'' sued too. | |||

| For the record, I object to Pate's white separatism and egregious anti-Semitism, and to your associating me with the likes of him. What's more, I think Pate's assertion that Israel and its alleged Zionist USAMRIID agent, Col. Philip Zack, were behind the attacks is not just unfounded; it is ridiculous, ideologically-driven crap that lacks even marginal significance in this nation's search for the anthrax killer(s). | |||

| Did I "vandalize" the Misplaced Pages article? No, I did not. There is an "edit" and "cut" function for every Misplaced Pages article. Thus, in deleting my entry, I was merely exercising my Wikipedian-given right to make this article more accurate, as readers are invited to do in what is supposedly Misplaced Pages's uniquely democratic editorial process. | |||
| I first deleted my entry some months ago. Apparently, it was you who kept restoring it over my objections. Then, when the entry kept reappearing in this game of editorial "whack-a-mole," I changed it to something that you didn't like. What you dislike is "vandalization." What you like is "fair and neutral." Give me a break. Judgments like yours are what make the Internet a menace to fairness and accuracy in the media, as well as an alleged an arbiter of it. | |||
| ==Fair use rationale for Image:Beneathappledos.jpg== | |||
| Well, Mr. Fair and Neutral, why don't you start living up to your alleged standards of fairness and neutrality by identifying yourself and your qualifications to make such judgments? Anonymous and blind sources are a hot button issue in journalism these days. Concealing one's identity conceals from readers the authority on which you make your self-avowed "inaccurate, inconsistent and arbitrary" judgments. Identify yourself. That will give us readers, and hapless victims of your editorial arrogance the means to judge for ourselves the value of your comments. | |||

| Naming sources is one means by which journalists inform readers why someone they quote in an article is worth paying attention to. Attribution and sourcing were Judith Miller's downfall. I also suggest that they are yours. At least Judith Miller put her byline on her articles; she took responsibility for her work. Who are you? What is your name? On what authority do you make such editorial judgments? What is your agenda? Because you appear to have an agenda. Why do you insist on misleading the people in what is supposed to be a fair and neutral forum - Misplaced Pages, the People's Encyclopedia? Well, I'm part of "The People" and I say that this particular Misplaced Pages article is both grossly and subtly inaccurate. | |||

| I understand your concerns about the new MOS templates, but the existing one was ''really'' bad. It had no real formatting and no coherence ("anything ever made by MOS or by a company cloning their products" isn't really a viable category). Your concern about the {{template|WDC CPU}} template is well taken, though - I agree that a one-article navigation template is probably unwise. Consequently, I have folded that into the main {{template|MOS CPU}} template, which now includes all 65xx CPUs, 8-bit and 16-bit alike, whether they were produced by MOS or by a second source vendor. However, I do not see why graphics and sound chips, IO chips, and CPUs should all be lumped together in one template. If you want, I can add a link to the bottom of each such navigational template to either the other nav templates or to a list of all MOS chips. Please feel free to further discuss this on either ] or the article talk. Needless to say, I have no desire to fight an edit war.

Steve Wozniak
Please, stop reverting. I am correcting the information in the article. Wozniak did not design Breakout, Nolan Bushnell did. Woz programmed it. While Steve Jobs was working at Atari, Bushnell asked if he could do, he said yes, and then asked Woz if he could help him out. Woz ended out coding the original. How can "nobody" not program a game, if it had not been programmed, it would not exist. I do know what programming means, I am a programmer in my spare time. You should also read some books on the subject, such as Infinite Loop by Michael S.Malone which speaks of the topic when Jobs was working at Atari and got Woz to program the original Breakout for Bushnell. Breakout was hardware and software, you know. Maybe it should say 'programmed and designed' for Atari/Bushnell or something similar. — Wackymacs 11:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- You obviously never bothered to read the breakout article. It states, correctly, that breakout was not a CPU-based game - it had no software. None. Hence nobody programmed it. Mirror Vax 11:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- If there was no software, then what displayed anything on the screen, hmm? You've just said it was not CPU based. So it wasnt hardware or software, ehh? You make no sense. hardware still has to be programmed, by the way. Some of the earliest programming was in hardware. — Wackymacs 11:45, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- OK forget all this, I've replaced the word with "developed" instead of programmed or designed, no problem now. — Wackymacs 14:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. --MONGO 18:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Misplaced Pages. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and other deliberate attempts to disrupt Misplaced Pages are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. Nufy8 18:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- I defy you to point to any "misinformation". As it happens, the truth is very nearly the opposite of what the template stated - but that's not my fault, is it? Why don't you block whomever wrote the grossly misleading nonsense about AFD not being a vote? Mirror Vax 19:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I have PRODed "Loudness War"
Loudness War
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Loudness War, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

About The Loudness war
Mirror Vax, are you the kind of person who goes to a movie theater to watch a show, and once the show is over, sneaks in to another one only to catch few minutes before the end? Why don't you read all the comments before assuming all that? I actually ended up contributing to this article, making it read more comprehensible (So far, no one has reverted anything). Nothing of relevance has been deleted either, and your name was not smeared with false accusations. The Loudness war is doing just fine and several users promised to make sure it remains free of nonsense. So, congratulations on your contribution to WP and come back, don't be a sour-puss :-).

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
