Did you retire from Misplaced Pages? Is all well? ] (]) 03:18, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Yesterday, you've added this entry to DYK - "... that ''']''' in ] is the most polluted spot on earth?" The right way to list it on DYK is to first list it on ]. Also, no entry is removed unless it is featured for atleast six hours - however, you've removed an entry that was barely there for 3 hours. Clear instructions are available on both the template and template talk about the updation. I'm disappointed with what you have done as you are one of the guys I look up to on Misplaced Pages, especially, due to the multiple roles that you play. However, I believe that the procedures must be same for one and all and that ] does not apply here. Surely, you'd appreciate that you'd not like someone changing the FA to someone's own article? Same is the case with DYK as well as there is a process for listing on DYK, just as in FA. I am sorry for the longish message but I felt that it is important that I make myself clear. I also felt that I should let you know of the procedure as the actions of admins and b'crats are subjected to stricter scrutiny. Thanks for your time, --] 05:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I really find this promotion inexplicable. The proponents of the article's candidacy pretty much refused to make substantive responses to serious objections and personalized the issues involved, and several sets of objections remained unresolved. Frankly, it's insulting to those of us who take FAC criteris seriously. It's not quite so bad as promoting the article that asserted "Dinosaurs still exist today," but it's really not consistent with what Misplaced Pages policy says. ] 23:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

== Administrators will no longer be ] ==
== Hurricane Dennis promoted with objection unaddressed ==
I understand you used your executive discretion to deem my actionable objections to the ] FAC not worth taking into account for consensus. I realize this can be a fine line, however, it really undermines the motivation for working towards standards like "comprehensive" and "compelling even brilliant writing", when (it at least appears that) one person can bindingly decide for all of Misplaced Pages what is or is not comprehensive or compelling. Unless there is an FA quota to be met, the judgement should almost always be on the side of the standing actionable objection.


A ] Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove ] from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with ], choose to ] this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

Case in point here, to list the detailed path and consequences of a hurricane, including landfall times and locations, degrees of storm intensity, location and dollar value of damage, and then to have broad statements like "left 680,000 customers without electricity in four southern states" without naming the states (is that information unavailable? is the number of customers more important than their location? is a "southern state" a commonly known region or size of area? is it important to know the number of states, as opposed to just the country, but not the names? etc) and stating that there were 10 US deaths, and then precisely locating an arbitrary four of them "one in Walton County, Florida, two in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and one in Decatur, Georgia." but not the remaining six (was that also unavailable information? what is the standard for level of detail here: with deaths variously, and apparently randomly, located to the city, the county or the entire USA?) creates logical holes in the account, particularly considering it is such a relatively brief, well-summarized article. This do lower the overall writing quality of the article by making it seem less authoritative. This is a clearly identified and actionable as both a research and writing style issue...

== A somewhat premature New Year's greeting ==
I'm not trying to be "right". I am arguing that this judgement does not do the FAC process justce. I spend thoughtful time on each FAC consideration, and I do not try to post frivolous or minor objections. So to have my well-considered objections summarily dismissed without comment, seems to undermine the whole process (especially while some FACs are left hanging for WEEKS while patently absurd discussions are pursued, and wholesale revisions are made, all apparently at the discretion of the FAC director). Here, small changes would have IMO made relatively great improvement, but apparently not in yours... Doesn't seem very "community consensus" to me. --] 18:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

== How we will see unregistered users ==
== FAC as de facto peer review/article improvement center ==
'''The current use of ] as a ''de facto'' peer review and article improvement area is I believe counterproductive and should be addressed.''' Case in point, I reviewed the recently-promoted ] article, which was promoted with various standing objections, mine included. In fact, the article is much better than it was, after ''extensive'' revisions and major additions of new material. In this case, promotion may not be a bad thing (I find it hard to tell without re-reviewing it from the top), but the end result, considering the amount of change involved, is that effectively Raul654 decided this was an FA largely on his own. The supports and objections that occurred at various stage of the revisions dealt with quite different articles, so any sort of real consensus is hard to justify. Furthermore, this is common in FAC. In recent weeks, I've spent an inordinate amount of time following up on long discussions and attempted resolutions of objections on certain FACs (which are sometimes left for two or three weeks), which limits the number of FACs I can address. I would much rather read, render a comment/vote, and only return if minor, specific actionable items are involved. If an article contains numerous typos, bad writing, or several problems with facts, then it should be dismissed. The type of heavy requirement currently being placed on the FAC voter (particularly, the objector) is I find quite unreasonable and inefficient, and encourages less rigorous standards and lower quality. Related to that is the fact that "support", despite the guidelines, is generally given with little or zero justification (unsupported supports should be struck, just like unactionable objections?). I'd like to know where this can be further discussed. Thank you. --] 18:34, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi!
Apologies. Because of the controversial nature of this case, I took a ''very'' inclusionist approach in adding involved parties, adding those who either commented on the case (Theresa Knott) or has ever blocked Marsden (you, Jayjg). In my opinion, if you don't want to take up this case, at least make the injunction that the block be made for a finite duration (like, say, the month with time served that was done before two times). -- ] (]) 02:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

==Netoholic and templates==
I see from the relevant arbcom case that you were given the 'pleasure' (sic) of mentoring ] but that it didn't work out. It appears that Neto has moved on from seriously annoying people over templates to seriously annoying people over infoboxes, which he is unilaterally redesigning and changing, to the 'irritation' (to put it diplomatically) of people who get in his way. In doing so he has also been breaking the injunction of only one revert per article per day. Given that he has a history of such behaviour with templates, should the issue be brought directly to the arbcom's attention? From past experience with Neto I personally don't want to have anything to do with him. ]]\<sup><font color="blue">]</font></sup> 15:30, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
: on this, and I mostly agree with what Snowspinner said. Netoholic is trying to kill off metatemplates, which people have not been careful to avoid (despite clear directions from the developers to do just that). That said, however, Netoholic doesn't explain his actions very well, and as a reuslt those actions tend to piss people off. Several members of the arbcom (David Gerard, Kelly Martin, and myself) have asked that his prohibition from editing in the template domain not be enforced too strictly in regard to the metatemplate issue. ] 19:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

== What is the procedure for requesting clarification of a FAC promotion decision? ==
I'd like to know how to go about requesting clarification of FAC promotion decisions. Specifically, I am curious about promotions made with standing objections. I realize that a certain amount of executive discretion is necessary on the part of the FAC director in order to decide whether consensus has reasonably been reached. However, in some cases, it would appear that objections, which seem actionable, are ignored or discounted. Particularly in such cases, and in FAC promotions in general, is there a procedure whereby the basis for the decision and the reasoning of the FAC Director can be requested and made available? Thanks. --] 22:52, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
:Well, it's hard to speak about these things in the abstract. Lots of people object for lots of different things, and I do not find all objections compelling. I've seen objections that flatly go against the manual of style/citation rules, or objections that were downright trivial, objections that the article is too long (when it isn't), 'etc. On occasion, I have been been asked to give reasoning (usually someone is curious and drops a message on my talk page); but lately it's been getting pretty unreasonable -- to the point where I am getting angry message even before I am finished promoting the articles. ] 00:25, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for the reply. If I understand correctly, this—your Discussion page—is the proper forum for asking about individual FAC decisions. In that case, I'd like to ask after your thoughts on the recent ] promotion, where two of my standing objections were left unaddressed, and so, I assume, found to be either inactionable, or without merit. I outlined my concerns in a comment a few posts above, but I can be more brief here by focussing on just one instance. I objected that the article stated there were '''''"680,000 customers without electricity in four southern states"'''''. My concern was that "southern states" should be clarified: ''These states should be listed, given the level of detail provided elsewhere.'' I believed this objection to be easily actionable, as it did not involve heavy article revision (when, it seems, the majority of FAC nominations do go through significant revision), and it would improve the article. So, I was surprised when this was dismissed, and I'm curious as to your reasoning. Thanks for the time... --] 05:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I had mentioned this before but since no one responded on the template's talk I was "bold" and made my edit. It should be fixed style-wise and maybe a template rewrite to better phrase it all but I tihnk showing which version of an article was noticed as featured is very important. My edit allows users to add the version as a parameter and my hope is eventually getting a link on the template to show the diff between the version it became featured and the present version. Everyday wear and tear on highly viewed articles can create problems and since the articles that we need featured are those rudimentary subjects I think of this as a way to easily allow users to make sure nothing has gone awry. I really am not sure how to best go about this so I edited to maybe force the issue some.

Raul654,
I have just realized that I had confused your comments on my page as having been made by ] (who is also somewhat involved in this affair), and while I continue to maintain that those attacked have inerrant and immediate right to respond, in reformulating a response to you as a member of the Arbcom, I would ask you to either:
a. insist that those compiling "evidence" narrowly confine their remarks to evidence - leaving out their (often unsupportable) opinions of same, or
b. permit the accused to respond to attacks of an opinionated, or conclusorary nature.

Note that I have largely refrained from addressing the opposing party in this affair as I believe the Arbcom is the only hearer of testimony, and I am not asking for the Arbcom to officiate a mudsling, I am only asking to be permitted to respond to unfounded accusations of a personal nature wherever and whenever they occur on this site. Absent that permission, I must request a take-down of willful and knowingly false content of a personal and malicious nature. Thank you. ] 20:09, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

:In a word, no. He can present whatever case he wants in his section of the evidence, and you in yours.

I could really use your assistance with a particularly surly bunch over at ]. One look at the source shows it to be a monstrous combination of meta-templates.

I tried to do some isolated development on ], with the intent of migrating articles slowly, while addressing some functionailty creep that's gone into the old template. Every time I tried to do this, though, I've been reverted by admin ]. I've posted on ] about the need to convert away, but have been met by stonewalling. Today, I tried to implement my current "best fit" right into the main template. Sure, some functions were lost, but I covered all the critical ones. I mostly just want to wash my hands of the whole thing, while still providing a solution for them. Unfortunately, as you can probably read on that talk page, there is a somewhat elitist core that really won't help. No one is working on a replacement, but they have been quick to hinder me.

== FAC suggestion: Add revision date to nomination requirements ==
Listing the version of the revision being submitted in each FAC nomination seems like an easy and useful addition to the FAC nom requirement. This allows voters to easily review changes made over the course of the candidacy (which are often considerable, in some cases going into the hundreds of edits). It is a similar idea to the one above that suggest the revision version that was promoted to FA be listed in the FA tag. WDYT? Is there a proper place to put this to present it for community consideration? Thanks! --] 18:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:Grenavitar recently added it as an optional argument to the featured tag. I'm willing to give it a try for a couple weeks and see what people think. I'll start putting it onto featured articles with the next batch I promote (today or tomorrow). ] 18:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::The revision date in the Featured tag is a great idea. My related suggestion, however, is different, it is to have the ''version initially submitted to FAC'' included in the nominator's section at the top of each FAC nom. That would facilitate the nom process, by allowing anyone at any time during the FAC review period to see what changes had been made since nomination. It's a small thing, but as a FAC nom requirement, it could help the process a good deal, as for one, it puts a little more explicit focus on the submitted version being to FA standard. During the review it would also be practical, as FACs are frequently edited quite a bit, and it can be difficult keeping track of the changes. --] 19:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::That entirely defeats the purpose of responding to FAC suggestions - e.g, improvmenets made during the time an article is on the FAC. I will be adding the version of the article that exists at the time I tag it as featured. ] 19:36, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm not suggesting that the version of the nominated revision be included in the Featured tag (that should naturally be the version at the time of promotion, including the improvements made during the FAC review). During the review, however (and for archival purposes), it would seem useful for anyone at any point to be able to easily refer to the base nomination. This takes into account the reality of ''many'' edits occurring during FAC review; it is not uncommon for 50-100 or more revisions to occur even on the first day or two of a nomination. This editing is not per se a bad thing, but lots of edits makes FAC reviewing more complicated. For example, if I support on Day 1, and 50 one-word changes are made by Day 3, the basis for my support could well change, because the article at that point would be quite different from what I originally voted on. By making explicit exactly where the nomination started, the whole process is that much more transparent and clear for all participants, at any stage of the review process. There may be flaws in my reasoning here, but I don't see how the suggestion entirely defeats the purpose of responding to FAC, it only makes it easier to review the changes at any stage. --] 20:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::Ohhh <slaps forehead!> Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were asking that I use the version initially nominated for the FAC in the featured tag (instead of the version at the time the article is promoted). What you instead want is the initial version of the article to be included in the nom. That's not a bad idea. Give me a day or two to tweak at the FAC instructions (which I have been meaning to prune anyway). ] 20:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

== Phelps featured article ==

Raul - I was happy to see you putting ] on hold for a bit. To be honest, I don't want to touch the article for fear of a lawsuit. (My parents live in Kansas, and I would be particularly harmed by a lawsuit there.) I was thinking of posting a note somewhere -- ] or ] -- asking people more fearless than me to work on the article. Do you have a suggestion on where? And would you mind if I mentioned your decision about it being on the mainpage when I put that request up? --best, kevin <b>]<b>]]<b>]</b> 02:05, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Would you be able to drop me a note when you next get on IRC? I need to ask something. :) ] 03:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

== Please assist ==

Raul,
you could be helpful here.

Mike has now gone so far as to accuse me of Blackmailing him citing WP:no threats which includes in part:

:''Similarly, slander, libel, or defamation of character is not to be tolerated on Misplaced Pages. True instances of such writing, which might legitimately expose Misplaced Pages to legal sanction, should immediately be called to the attention of an administrator and/or the community at large.''

While I'm hardly going to sue Misplaced Pages, the accusation that my public edits in that last 12 hours comprise the criminal act of Blackmail is I believe technically slanderous and could (IMO) be grounds for a legitimate legal sanction. I am therefore immediately calling it to your attention. Please kindly explain to Mike that a little more care in choice of words would go a long way and perhaps help him to rephrase his complaint. Thanks for helping. ] 04:54, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

To be ''very clear'' Mike does not allege that I have threatened legal action, nor does he allege that I have threatened unlawful retribution, In his own words:

:"''He has spent the day with this "give up the user conduct case or else I'll post these emails as evidence". I don't think this can be tolerated. It's essentially blackmail. It's akin to a legal threat, ...''"

Clearly such is not a legal threat, and I suggest that the mere suggestion that it is a crime is outside the bounds and spirit of a fun and loving atmosphere. ] 05:24, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Funny - what would we call "Probation" - in that case? ] 05:17, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

:::First words in Blackmail - "Blackmail is the crime". While there are many places where accusing a person of committing a crime is humorous, the Arbcom is not one of them. If I have no choice but to regrettably introduce evidence of incivility in my ''defense'' (under the argument of hypocrisy and hubris with intent to censor) - in effect to ''neutralize'' the reams of pablum others have introduced in order to distract the Arbcom from the substance - such will not be a crime I can assure you. ] 05:32, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

== Electioneering in the "move ]" issue ==

Your blatant electioneering in the issue of whether to move the Yom Kippur War article by notifying only some of the previous voters, all of whom happen to share your personal point of view is completely improper. I find it mildly disgusting considering your positions of responsibility here and that you of all people should know better. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you were going to notify previous voters, you should notify ALL previous voters, otherwise, you're simply electioneering to support your POV. ]] 17:41, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
:If you were going to start a new vote, then ''you'' should have done that yourself. Starting a new vote in the middle of a page without informing anyone of it gives the strong appearance that you were doing so in the hopes that it might slip in under the radar this time. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 17:45, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
::I didn't start the new vote: I didn't intend to start a new vote until we'd received some traffic from Requested Moves and Request for Comment. Had anyone mentioned to me that this is what should have been done, I would have done so to complete the measure, even if the one who started the vote did not.
::However, that ''does not in any way'' discount the fact that Raul654 has electioneered this issue by selectively informing previous voters.
::This does not discount that an Administrator, Bureaucrat, and Arbitrator '''''should''''' be expected to behave in a more open and neutral manner. I sincerely hope to see an apology. ]] 18:06, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Jay took the words right out of my mouth. This poll is an attempt to "pull a fast one". As such, it's not surprising to see people upset with me that I notified the most vocal people in the last debate on this issue (which took place all of a few weeks ago). And, quite franklty, the claim that I notified my "supporters" is specious - (1) I only notified 4 people (out of 15 or 20 who voted against it), and (2) given that *every* person voted against it last time, you could claim I was notifying my supporters no matter who I notified. ] 05:13, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
::::As I replied to Jayjg, '''I did not start the vote''', and it was not my intention to do so until I saw at least some feedback from the renewal of discussion. Informing a select few of your friends '''is''' electioneering a poll, and <u>you certainly should know better</u> because of your positions here. Had you notified everyone who participated last time, I would have no complaint. I find it even more disturbing that you're now accusing me of trying to "pull a fast one" when I didn't even start the vote; it was started by someone who saw the issue on "Requested Moves". Whatever happened to ], or does that only apply when people share '''''your''''' point of view? I still hope to see some form of apology, but frankly, I think your concurrence with Jayjg's baseless accusation tells me all I need to know. ]] 19:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

==Ultramarine==
Thank you for informing me the Arbitration is concluded. This constraint may in fact be sufficient to contain him within the bounds of civility; and in any case the most I can reasonably expect while absent (I hurt my hand in November).

Would it be possible to move for a clarification prohibiting Ultramarine (or anyone else, but it's his pet piece of obnosiousness) from referring to a text as "correct and referenced"? Normally, both the accuracy of the text and the use of references is disputed. ] 21:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

== "More" link for featured articles ==
Hi Raul &mdash;

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but would there be any objection to having a "more" link at the bottom of the front page display of the featured article? This was just mentioned by someone else at ], and I had been thinking the same thing. As it stands, new users don't always know that the paragraph shown isn't the entire article.

I've been bold and added a "more" link to ] just so you can see what I mean. Feel absolutely free to remove it, but I think it's a good idea that ought to be implemented in some manner.

&mdash; ] | ] ] 20:21, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
:OK, let's run it for one day and see what kind of feedback we get. ] 23:40, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

::I thought it was a great idea and that it should become a permanent fixture of the FA display. ] 05:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

::I see it doidn't stick. There was also some positive feedback at ], FYI. &mdash; ] | ] ] 17:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

:::No-one added it to the next few schedule articles in ]. I have, to continue the experiment. It seems a bit redundant, since the name is alreadly wikilinked in the first sentence, though. If the "more" sticks, perhaps the first link should be removed? -- ] ] 18:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm not particularly fond of it either. It seems like needless pandering to people who are (respectfully) too dumb to realize that the bolded link at the beginning is what they are supposed to click on. ] 18:37, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::I like it. I don't think a reader who has never seen Misplaced Pages before has to be too far-gone dumb to make the mistake of thinking that the front-page blurb is the entire article. &mdash;] (]) 19:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::One person said on ] that his mother initially presumed that the displayed paragraph was the full article, while another user admitted that he "used to wonder how to get to the full thing quickly." I think it's easier to get confused than you'd think. ] 05:20, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

== Request for clarification: FA promotion of ] ==
I'm curious as to the reasoning behind the decision to promote the ] to Featured Article status (10-Jan-2006), despite ''']''' which seem to be clearly stated, actionable, and in accordance with the FA criteria. Specifically, my own objection contained four items, summarized here:
*'''poorly written''' - Several examples were quoted, and an additional description of the problem included. The examples themselves have not been changed.
*'''sections poorly titled and organized''' - A description of the problem and an example were included. The example, a section heading with a place name that does not appear in the text of that section (and appears only once elsewhere, in a different spelling), is unchanged.
*'''inline citations end after third section''' - There are eight main sections, excluding the lead. The first three have at least one citation per paragraph (30 in total); the rest of the article (75% of the text) has no citations. (This objection was also made by another editor.)
*'''article not written in summary style''' - A description of the problem was included (essentially, that it is a chronological list of events, with no significant summary of the information).
I am sincerely and completely unclear as to how these objections were seen as irrelevant to FA standards. There was no reply to my objections on the FAC page. In the promotion decision, were they judged inactionable? Without merit? How was consensus found here (there were three Supports, one Mild Support, two Objects, and three Comments)? Your taking a moment to provide some indication as to the reasoning behind the decision would be appreciated, as I am now quite confused about the FAC process. Thanks. --] 21:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Raul654 - our paths have never crossed. But I want to just thank you for 1) having been Misplaced Pages's first FAC coordinator and helping building such a fine system. I was mostly lurking back then but I noticed your hard work and thought it was really cool. Also, thank you especially for 2) for penning Raul's Razor. Having read it all those years ago, it was a complete paradigm shift for me, away from "well, everyone has *some* bias so expecting NPOV work is unreasonable." It is a litmus test I mentally use constantly, and not just when evaluating Misplaced Pages articles, either.
==Got another law for you==

Can you give some insight into your process for finding "Support" consensus for ''']''', which you promoted today? Again (as in the similar and unanswered request for ], above), I'm trying to understand how FA decisions are ultimately made. In this case, there were several standing objections, including mine, which regarded "comprehensiveness". The very first sentence of the article concludes that Dion is a "songwriter." The citation source is Britannica.com, which simply echoes the statement, and the only further mention of Dion's songwriting in this 5,000 word article is one passing reference: "Dion had a hand in hand in writing some of the material" on one album... That is just a case in point (how can an article be "comprehensive", when it doesn't even support its lead sentence?). I'd like to contribute to FAC, but if I'm clueless as to how to interpret the criteria, there seems no point. When my clear objections to things like that are ignored, I am confused. I'd like to not waste everyone's time with objections that won't meet the FAC Director's standards. Thanks. --] 01:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized
Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States.
Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a
moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of
Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to
escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens
from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Proposed deletion of Phalaenopsis 'Kaleidoscope'

Notice

The article Phalaenopsis 'Kaleidoscope' has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Consensus has been established via discussion at WP:PLANTS and previous AfDs/PRODs that individual cultivars are not presumed notable in the same way as natural species, and must meet GNG to have a standalone article. Database and commercial catalog entries are not considered sufficient for this purpose. I did not find any reliable in-depth non-commercial non-database independent significant coverage of this cultivar.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jack Parr

A tag has been placed on Jack Parr, requesting that it be deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It is a disambiguation page which either: disambiguate only one extant Misplaced Pages page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)"; or disambiguate zero extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title. (See section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

A random "Thank You" for your efforts

Raul654 - our paths have never crossed. But I want to just thank you for 1) having been Misplaced Pages's first FAC coordinator and helping building such a fine system. I was mostly lurking back then but I noticed your hard work and thought it was really cool. Also, thank you especially for 2) for penning Raul's Razor. Having read it all those years ago, it was a complete paradigm shift for me, away from "well, everyone has *some* bias so expecting NPOV work is unreasonable." It is a litmus test I mentally use constantly, and not just when evaluating Misplaced Pages articles, either.

ITN archives

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I am glad to tell you that Misplaced Pages:In the news/Posted/Archives are now fully available, with all the vandalism/disruptive edits removed. While creating the bot for the archival process, I went through a lot of the older posts, you are one of the editors whose name popped quite often in ITN in "back in the day", so I personally wanted to let you know about the archives I hope you see this message someday. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Joe Valachi.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Joe Valachi.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tim Landy (talk) 10:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of TeleZapper

Notice

The article TeleZapper has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable product that has been unreferenced since 2006. Found one in-depth review but not enough to satisfy WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
