Re: Be careful

I've given up trying to formulate a good article from that one, as those editing it seem to have an agenda against the article subject. Seems a game of fitting in as much "right-wing extremism", "xenophobia" and "racism" remarks as possible, rather than writing a NPOV article. Sad really. You and I both said a passing reference (from a source who has a political bias) wouldn't do, but the agenda-squad don't seem interested in quality sourcing, only enforcing their BBC, career politican created narrow view of the subject.

What you've put on the talk page of the article is spot on! If you already have a hatred of something, then how can your work possibly be neutral, let alone used a source on a site which is meant to be neutral?!?!?!?! Having been through the "reknowned" British education system, an "educator" becomes respected by the establishment for simply having pro-establishment, often socialist leanings. If you hold such views, you'll become "respected"! I do love the "racist" remarks though. Guess that's why the nephew of the former Prime Minister of Guyana has recently joined the party. I guess when people fear a movement, they lie about it and try to paint it in bad light. Regards. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 10:56, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't envy your task in trying to get that article at least semi-decent! Seems unfortunately agenda led editors will constantly bombard that page with their person misconceptions. Best of luck anyway! Regards. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 13:14, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

well just stick to the rules and the article will be good as new again. Don't fear a bit of heavy editing, it occurs. Alexandre8 (talk) 17:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Re:Sock

Actually, I don't know who it is. I always log in if I want to edit articles. If you presume that someone uses sockpuppets, why don't you initiate a sockpuppet inquiry? As Xijky is banned, it is not completely unlikely that this user continues editing anonymously. Regards --RJFF (talk) 11:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Imanol Harinordoquy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Basque.

RfC at Robert E. Lee

As a recent contributor to Talk:Robert E. Lee, you are receiving this notice for an RfC at of a proposed restatement of a wp:primary source which contains more points than the existing block quote from the letter. The primary source is a 1856 letter of Lee’s to his wife from Texas as found at Alexander Long, Memoirs of Robert E. Lee: his military and personal history (1886), p. 82-83. Opponents have seen wp:original research in the proposal as drawing conclusions not found in the primary source. A rewrite of the first proposal follows an edit break.

November 2019

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Rappin' for Jesus, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Misplaced Pages's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. SummerPhD 12:04, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

3RR at Tim Pool

I think you went over the 3RR limit at Tim Pool. I would revert then start a RfC or something. Springee (talk) 16:36, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Discretion is the better part of valor. Do you want to find out your interpretation was wrong? A while back an admin gave me some smart advice. Behave as if every article had a 1RR limit. It will keep you out of at least some types of trouble. Springee (talk) 16:42, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
