| Good day Rlevse may I respectfully request your kind assistance as an active editor of the Misplaced Pages article ] and as the one who worked to have it promoted to featured list on Misplaced Pages. I would like to include the picture of a noted alumni who had set a record not only during his stay at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis but also made historical impact as a politician and public servant in the Philippines, Congressman ]. While at the academy he excelled in academics as a consistent Superintendent's List midshipman, in sports becoming a four-year undefeated academy boxing champion in his weight division setting a record in then more than 100 years of academy boxing, and in leadership having held the position of Company Commander which is a rare distinction for foreign midshipmen. In the Philippines, he had a long and productive career as a public servant having been elected in landslide victories in 1992, 1995, 1998, 2004, 2007, and 2010, serving as Representative of the City of Paranaque in the 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th Congress of the Philippines and will be serving in the incoming 15th Congress of the Philippines on his unprecedented sixth term in office as a congressman. He is also the President of the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association, Philippine Chapter and is a Life Member of the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association. He had also served as the President of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, Governor of the Philippine National Red Cross, and President of the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines. I had tried to include his picture but was instructed by MBK004 to start a discussion on it first. Thank you very much in advance for your time and invaluable inputs. {{unsigned|Congressionalstaff}} | |||

| ::Sir Rlevse thank you very much for your prompt response. May I ask what would be the standard or basis required or observed by the Misplaced Pages community in placing the photo of a US Naval Academy alumni beside the list, in addition, for an alumni not so included to have his picture also placed beside the list. It would help a lot of people researching on the subject matter to have the picture of the mentioned alumnus right there on the article itself, it is a short list after all and the picture will just be small for which the space beside the table is ample enough to accomodate. At the very least, it could accomodate one more, please. ] (]) 03:01, 25 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::No need for calling me sir ;-) One thing is that there are already pics there and people really don't like for the row of pics to run below the list of names so. One would have to be swapped out. I suggest you start a chat on the list's talk page, post on MBK's page to see what he says, and see what other people say. Leave the talk open at least a week and we'll see how it's going.<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif"> — ] • ] • </span> 03:43, 25 June 2010 (UTC) | |||

I hope this request for one more pic may be given due course by the Misplaced Pages admins, sysop such as you and the rest of the Misplaced Pages community. Thanks so much, I'm learning to appreciate the quality and amount of collaborative work that goes into every article on Misplaced Pages.

| Hello. I'm a bit concerned about , and the way it was handled. First, for reasons articulated there by a number of editors, I don't think there was any legitimate BLP issue. It is not enough for one to claim there is such an issue; that must in fact be the case. What was argued -- that the hook had no BLP issue, and most of the article underlying the hook had no BLP issue, but one sentence in the article did have a BLP issue, because that sentence said a person held a sign with a spelling error, is not IMHO a legitimate BLP issue. The BLP argument was used by the same editor in . He called it a "clear BLP violation". Not one editor agreed with him. The article was kept a "Keep". Here, it is even more attenuated -- as the phrase is not even in the hook (though I obviously feel were it in the hook, the answer would be the same). The hook was approved. Gato said no decision can be made, as conversation is ongoing. Then, with most of the editors disagreeing with Gato, you come in to the still-ongoing-discussion and close it as disapproved. | |||
| If Gato was wrong that the editor could not approve the discussion, it should have been approved. If he was right, because the conversation was ongoing, then you also should not be able to close the discussion as a disapprove. | |||
| IMHO. Respectfully. I would ask, for the foregoing reasons, that you restore the discussion.--] (]) 00:53, 3 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :BLP standards for DYK, since they appear on the main page, are higher than for article space. I'm not about to put that on the main page with all the ongoing concerns. That is alone is enough to disapprove it, but in addition nor will I keep it there on hold for as long as a BLPN takes.<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif"> — ] • ] • </span> 00:59, 3 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::"All the ongoing concerns" have been demonstrated to be just so many words IMHO, and in the opinion of most of the editors in that discussion. The editor who posed the same concerns at AfD was informed by lack of any agreement that his assertions of "clear BLP violation" were just words -- not the case. I see the same here; even worse, as the hook itself lacks any such claimed violation whatsoever. The standards applied at DYK (which you refer to) are reflected at the DYKs that I pointed to. They reflect that the higher standard you refer to allows for hooks describing people as and as (with pictures to boot), and these hooks are among those we boast about as having the most hits. This clearly falls well within that standard. I don't think its even close. I'm concerned as well with the double standard -- the approver cannot close the discussion because it is ongoing, but the non-approver can? I'm struggling to appreciate how that can be. Thanks for your thoughts.--] (]) 01:07, 3 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::I'm not changing my mind. Recall the Arabian DYK issue. That's two BLP-related DYK noms with significant concerns you've been at the center at in as many weeks.<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif"> — ] • ] • </span> 01:13, 3 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| *Yes. With the same Gato -- whose edits are discussed there--at the center of it. And the other hook was one that was added to a queue, but then you deleted from a queue--so you were also at the center of it. | |||
| I fail to see how I am being treated consistently, since you promote for DYK an article that says "Montoya '''had previously been investigated in July 2006 for sexual assault that involved vaginal penetration on Nevaeh, then 23 months old'''", and that's just fine. But when I have an article that mentions '''a spelling error''', its not. I'm slightly troubled that there may be a double standard. And that you've again not indicated why you can close a conversation in mid-discussion, but an approver cannot. I would like to appeal this matter -- what would you suggest is the appropriate manner? I would like it to be reviewed by people other than those who have given us and Gato awards -- third parties who are more arms'length -- as I think we can then get the fairest result. Many thanks.--] (]) 01:19, 3 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::That was not the hook used in Neveah's article, you're putting the problematic bit right in the hook. Spelling has nothing to do with it.

| :::I feel we must be speaking different languages. You, above, said "That was not the hook used in Neveah's article, ''you're putting the problematic bit right in the hook''." Focusing on the ''True/Slant'' hook(s), for the moment, there was no BLP problem with the hook(s). One was only even claimed (without support at the AfD, and without consensus support at the DyK discussion) ''as to the underlying article''. But that's certainly not the standard applied at DyK, as is evident in not only your DYK where the underlying article speaks of alleged vaginal penetration of a 23-month-old, but in any number of others which (as yours) speak of things perhaps slightly more unspeakable than a spelling error.

I had thought that under wp:admin, it was the least I could expect, especially as you seemed to confuse whether the True/Slant hook(s) had a putative BLP violation.

| #I don't feel there is any "higher level DYK" concern in these two hooks, as evidenced by a) the level of DYK concern about underlying articles evidenced elsewhere, b) the level of DYK concern about hooks that were far more negative about living persons, c) the fact that nobody has indicated why a ''spelling error'' in an underlying article violates such higher standard, and d) the fact that nobody has articulated precisely what that higher standard is, and where it is reflected. | |||
| #I'm concerned that Gato is applying a higher standard to my DYKs than is being applied to others. | |||
| #I'm concerned that you are doing the same. | |||
| #I'm concerned that after my first DYK was put in queue by the editor who pulled it out, you reverted him, and now after an approving editor is reverted ''on the basis that conversation is ongoing'', you disapprove the hook ''even though conversation is ongoing''. | |||
| #You appear disinclined to respond to my efforts to learn where that standard is stated, what the standard is, and what I am missing in the comparison between the True/Slant hook and your hook -- which had a much more BLP-sensitive accusation in it. | |||
| Obviously, these issues are more than DYK or BLP by themselves can handle, and I think it best not to separate them. I would like to proceed in a manner that is agreeable with you, if possible. To keep the discussion centralized, do you think that AN/I would be the best place to go? Or RFC? Not necessarily as the final level, but as the next level?--] (]) 01:58, 3 July 2010 (UTC) | |||

| Hello | |||
| I have a few questions. Are there stat code I could put on my talk page that would be similar to yours? I also like your user page, and I suspect that it was not entirely written in Misplaced Pages's online edit page as it is so complex. Did you use an external editor? I've always had trouble finding a resource to learn Wikicode. Is there any external WYSIWYG editor for editing wiki with a GUI interface? I've read the Wiki page about external editors and it doesn't seem like there are any good alternatives to the online editor or Microsoft Word. My last question about outing. I've changed my user name a while ago after I was outed. I since changed my user name, but I've noticed that some of my edits in the talk/discussion pages still have my RL name. So I had broken rule 1, 5, and 7. Should I just make a new account? Can I transfer edits and still be a verified user or whatnot? | |||
| Thanks ] (]) 01:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC) | |||

| Virtually all of ]'s editing over the past month or two has been to the Arbitration case on climate change. If you'd like, I can go through and present a few diffs which I think highlight the fact that he's continuing to approach this as a partisan political fight or a debating society (neither of which are especially useful), but you may well have already seen them since they would be drawn from the ArbCom case pages anyhow.<p>My ban proposal was based mostly on the long-term record of negativity, the long-term lack of positive contributions, and the lack of any discernible change in approach. This is an editor who tends to gravitate to the most contentious and politicized topics we've got, and then inevitably throws gasoline on them with an abrasive, partisan approach. I am a bit curious to see what he'll do now that he's been temporarily topic-banned from climate change - it might provide a good opportunity to see if he can do some constructive editing - but so far he's just moved on to bang the same drums in the ArbCom case, so it's not really possible to draw any positive conclusions.

Arbitration case request declined
An arbitration case request in which you were named as a party has been withdrawn, and that withdrawal has been accepted by the Arbitration Committee. The arbitrators views on hearing this matter, found here, may be useful. For the arbitration committee,--S Philbrick(Talk) 12:46, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
