| == Noel Browne - a version == | |||
| All those who reached the final win awards, and awards will also be going to the following participants: | |||
| The entry on Noel Browne is based entirely on a shoddy biography written by one of his political opponents, and evidently amplified since by others. It apparently is low-enough temperature scurrility to make it onto the Misplaced Pages page. | |||
| *{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant9|Casliber}} wins the FA prize, for three featured articles in round 2. | |||
| How is it that "public opinion" - all of it ! - turns against Noel Browne's book 'Against The Tide' when it happened to be the biggest non-fiction bestseller in Ireland that year? Gill and MacMillan, his publisher, were over the moon with its success. Check it. | |||
| *{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant9|Courcelles}} wins the GA prize, for 92 good articles in round 3. | |||
| *{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant9|Kosack}} wins the FL prize, for five featured lists overall. | |||
| *{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant9|Cartoon network freak}} wins the topic prize, for 30 articles in good topics overall. | |||
| *{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant9|Usernameunique }} wins the DYK prize, for 24 did you know articles in round 3. | |||
| *{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant9|Zanhe}} wins the ITN prize, for 17 in the news articles overall. | |||
| *{{Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Participant9|Aoba47}} wins the GAR prize, for 43 good article reviews in round 1. | |||
| Awards will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient! | |||
| How is it too that every single criticism (without evidence) is deemed correct and Browne in every single instance wrong? A little skepticism toward both sides in a clash would be warranted. The entry is unrelievedly denigratory and needs to be balanced. ] (]) 06:08, 20 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

| I'll avoid removing his comments in the future. Personally I believe this editor is an evangelical Christian POV-pusher and possibly a sockpuppet of a banned editor based on his edits, including his 1st edit which was a well-formed AFD for ] (I've already notified an admin about this and added my evidence to a WP:AN/I thread started by Seregain). His comments in his latest AFD were essentially trying to discredit sources by attacking their owners personally, so I considered them disruptive. But in the future I won't remove them (on the same note, I think it's fair to warn Seregain not to remove my comments from talk pages as well). Thanks.--] (]) 18:36, 20 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

| == Deletion of My Edits == | |||
| Hello, | |||
| I have noted that you have deleted a number of my edits, I think most of them. Is the Misplaced Pages policy that one cannot cite one's own work on a page? You have attributed my edits to self promotion, but I do not see it that way at all. Academic texts are not a product in the sense of a trade book. They are not written for profits--rarely make one in fact--and help extend the subject matter on an issue. In the Amusement Park page, as one example, you deleted my Theme Park reference. This is the only text that has been written in terms of covering the entirety of the theme park form. Perhaps you deleted it because it did not directly address a section in the article, but I searched for Futrell's four books (which are listed in the further readings as well) and they are not referenced in the article. My sense is that you are selectively targeting my edits. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 17:45, 21 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| == Theming Page == | |||
| On the page for Theming, you deleted my reference that was cited in the main article. | |||
| It now reads: | |||
| Theming is the "the use of an overarching theme, such as western, to create a holistic and integrated spatial organization of a consumer venue." Theme | |||
| The citation needed is a result of your deletion of the source that accompanies it. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 17:51, 21 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| == RE: Tonight Show == | |||
| Thanks for stepping in, I agree with you protecting the article (regardless of who's revision was in place) so that civil talk page discussion could take place. You are welcome to join the discussion if you like, as it appears we need another opinion on the matter. — ''']''' <sup>(] </sup> | <small>])</small> 18:28, 21 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
| == Deletion of Edits == | |||
| I recently reviewed the policy on citations from Misplaced Pages: | |||
| "Editing in an area in which you have professional or academic expertise is not, in itself, a conflict of interest. Using material you yourself have written or published is allowed within reason, but only if it is notable and conforms to the content policies. Excessive self-citation is strongly discouraged. When in doubt, defer to the community's opinion." | |||
| In terms of my edits on Amusement Parks: | |||
| (1) Editing in an area in which you have professional or academic expertise is not, in itself, a conflict of interest. | |||
| * I do not see this as a violation. | |||
| (2) Using material you yourself have written or published is allowed within reason. | |||
| * This seems to be subjective as you have not allowed it to be 'within reason' | |||
| (3) "if it is notable" | |||
| * It's one of the few books on the topics that considers the subject in an exclusive sense. | |||
| I question your objectivity on these reedits. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 18:41, 21 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| == More on Deletions == | |||
| I just reviewed this Misplaced Pages policy: | |||
| "This policy does not prohibit editors with specialist knowledge from adding their knowledge to Misplaced Pages, but it does prohibit them from drawing on their personal knowledge without citing reliable sources. If an editor has published the results of his or her research in a reliable publication, the editor may cite that source while writing in the third person and complying with our neutrality policy. See also Misplaced Pages's guidelines on conflict of interest." | |||
| As I see it, | |||
| (1) This policy does not prohibit editors with specialist knowledge from adding their knowledge to Misplaced Pages | |||
| * I have specialist knowledge | |||
| (2) but it does prohibit them from drawing on their personal knowledge without citing reliable sources | |||
| * I have cited reliable sources | |||
| (3) If an editor has published the results of his or her research in a reliable publication | |||
| * These are peer-reviewed publications (not web sites or personal blogs) | |||
| (4) the editor may cite that source while writing in the third person and complying with our neutrality policy | |||
| * I have written all in a third-person format. | |||

Frequently asked questions
- Where can I learn more about editing Misplaced Pages?
- The best place to start is at the Help Desk. Other useful links include the style guide, the list of policies and guidelines, and the guide to editing. Please feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.
- Why was the link I added removed from an article?
- Typically, links are removed because they fail the external links guideline. Although many links are deleted because they were placed by spammers, links to good sites are also removed on a regular basis. This is because Misplaced Pages isn't a directory service; the mere fact a site exists does not mean it warrants a link.
- Why was my article deleted?
- Pages can be deleted for many reasons; there are very specific criteria that govern the process. Please review this article for more information.
- Why was information relating to my company or organization removed?
- This is a very common question, based on a misunderstanding of Misplaced Pages's purpose. This project is not a directory, forum, or search engine, and as such it is not a place for you to post advertisements about your company or your product.
- Why were my spelling changes reverted?
- Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style recommends the use of regional varieties of English, based on the topic and the article's contribution history. Please avoid changing spellings unless they differ from the appropriate version. Most spell checking software can be configured to use British and American English; some extend this to include other varieties such as Canadian or Australian English.
