''Antelope, would you mind casting your eye on a disagreement between myself and Lao Wai on the Politics of Noam Chomsky page, would be interested to hear your take on this. I have also requested mediation to avoid an edit war. Thanks. --Zleitzen 11:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)'' | |||
Yeah. I'm pretty intrigued by this turn of events as well. Jimbo, what made you suddenly decide to aggressively cause a content dispute on a featured article, echoing to a tee points made by Ed Poor sometime ago? And how does this new editor, "Eddie", who has made no content edits at all on wikipedia, expect to re-write a featured article compiled largely by experts on the subject? Also, how was Eddie "alerted to the problem of this page", I can't see any diffs to suggest that he was? And I have no idea why Eddie ''would'' be alerted to this by you as he shows no connection to the article via his history of contributions - unless he was editing under a different, more familiar name? Some answers would welcome regarding this curious affair, not least out of respect to expert editors such as Polaris999 who spent many, many long hours working on the article for the benefit of the site. Perhaps Ed Poor could shed some light on this?--]<small>]</small> 08:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
No prob. Sorry for gettin' all shotgun spray like. I agree, there is relevance for that State Capitalism line....... . | |||
I don't know anything about any of that. Yesterday I decided to spend some time doing something fun: reading Misplaced Pages randomly and doing some minor editing. A rare pleasure. I first read all about Patty Hearst, including a ton of related articles. Then I moved on to Charles Manson, reading a bunch of articles related to him. Eventually I moved on to Che Guevara. I know enough about the subject to know that a salient fact about him is that he was a mass murderer who committed his crimes on behalf of a dictator. I was surprised to see that the article did not mention this in the introduction. So I added an NPOV tag and left a comment on the talk page. I fail to see what is "aggressive" about this. | |||
later.... | |||
I was not contacted by Ed Poor. I can't imagine how this article could be considered a featured article. I have no information about a new editor named Eddie, and I so have no idea if he is a good writer or not. I have no information about how Eddie stumbled across the debate and decided to help out, and no reason to think that he is a sockpuppet of Ed Poor, if that is what you are hinting.--] 16:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC) | |||

==My Turn?== | |||
Hello, Zleitzen (I'm assuming you've returned). Have you seen ]'s User page? He's got us all branded as 'Fidel Castro' lovers. ] 23:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
:Hello again GoodDay. Contrary to appearances, I haven't officially returned - I was just browsing a few old pages I'd worked on in passing, when out of the blue Jimbo slapped a POV sticker on one them, whilst launching into what reads like a hyperbolic, bizarre POV rant - so I've involuntarily waded in to defend to the page and the editors there from this kind of unnecessary business. Regarding SilentVoice, I don't see my name on his page. I might have stuck up for the old goat Castro a few times in my past here, but not out of any admiration, rather to make rational points and present the articles in a manner akin to what one would expect from a genuine encyclopedia. Presumably that labels one a "Castro lover" as is quite common on the English wikipedia, but with those types of people ''when they're sitting on North Pole, everyone a Southerner''. If this were a Cuban wikipedia, we'd likely be branded an anti-Castro counter-revolutionaries by people cut from the same cloth but of a different colour.--]<small>]</small> 11:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
== To you with admiration == | |||
I'm having a lovely conversation with another editor on the ] talk page, regarding some possible original research. Could I trouble you to have a look? I have taken some mediation steps, but I wonder what you think? Am I perhaps confusing the man? Maybe I have failed to present my side? Thanks much. :) | |||

==Che== | |||
:(] 19:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)) | |||
I'm afraid I haven't studied him in any depth, so I'm hard pushed to recognise an unreliable source or defend a reliable one (Cuban architecture and wildlife is lot easier to write about, ] is as about as close as I've got to writing about politics over here before this), and I got fed up with repeating myself to those who obviously weren't reading what I wrote and think ] and ] are the same policy. I was hoping that the thrill would fade after Jimbo lost interest in defending his tag addition. I think since the consensus seems to be that the time as supreme prosecutor should be in the lead then somebody should work on fleshing out the other details to genuinely give some balance (which will undoubtedly generate complaints that the lead is too long. What fun!) ]] 23:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
:I was just over at ] (declining acting as mediator or writing an intro for the above subject) when I noticed your comments there. I cannot say I was impressed with either the language or the tone. Nor was I happy that you chose to continue your discussions there rather than the article talkpage (although, in light of my displeasure at seeing the content, I am not surprised). I think you could do with chilling just a little over this. | |||
I agree with your edits Antelope, though it might be worth waiting a while to see how things pan out and if things calm down. Making a tactical withdrawal, so to speak --] 20:03, 11 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
:I am more disappointed that you have chosen to conflict with Gtadoc (and he with you) since it is likley that had the two of you chosen to work together there could be an excellent intro to a good article with references from the two camps that Guevara seems to polorise folk into. ] 20:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
::There already was an excellent introduction. It was the one that had stood for years and was agreed by massive consensus during the Featured article process. There are not two camps here. There was consensus and credibility, until a POV ''intervention'' by Jimbo Wales brought acolytes in his wake to do his bidding and disrupt the article.--]<small>]</small> 10:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
I am so sorry you are having to endure all of this again. There is no sense in what is happening. The predictable entry of people who know nothing of the endless history of your inevitably polite, reasoned and ethical responses repeatedly offered over more than a year's time makes this current enterprise seem quite hopeless. I can't think that even you, for whom I have endless respect, can put yourself through this again. And even if you do, the scenario will be repeated as it has been on other articles, over and over again in the future. What you have created and given to Misplaced Pages has been an extraordinary -- enormous amounts of work characterized by beauty and intellectual integrity. I have long admired your optimism and your willingness to keep on trying here but now it is clear your extraordinary abilities are being wasted. (I realized that when the FA incident occurred.) Please be kind to yourself and do not put yourself through this again. Sincerely, ] 00:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
:Thanks Matisse. Indeed it's very frustrating, as the era is very complicated, way too complicated to be handled in this manner.

== Paris Article == | |||
Personally I had no problems understanding your edits and reasons. But it seems that an unusual degree of patience is required to contest edits with that particular editor! Something I've noticed: one of the more successful tactics to employ is to span out edits over a longer time rather than change a whole lot at once. For some psychological reason this seems to reduce the friction. The same works for the talk pages, writing less and posting less frequently can lower the temperature. There is the chance that the other editor will simply find the slow turnover dull and move on to another challenge. If they're not showing particular commiting to wiki-values then that's quite likely. But it certainly is a trial of patience! --] 14:16, 13 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

::''can't believe that somebody is citing such deeply derived sources such as Funk and Wagner. There are endless published scholarly works on Cuba use the D... things. Most of your (I do not include myself) accept Cuban government data as factual; it is not. Such data is not reviewed, nor is it challenged because it is an official monolithic artifact generated by the Cuban government. The Cuban government does not admit any scholars who are critical. Pro-Castro scholars are presented with government generated material so the material has to be gleaned from all kinds of other sources, including satellite imagery (which on occasion I use myself for formal articles). The trouble is that few if any of you read Spanish, you believe Cuban government data, and do not even try to demonstrate that you possess the background to critically evaluate the circumstances involved. There are serious text reads Thomas, 1998 and the rest on the list that I provided; go to university libraries outside of Cuba such as University of Miami, Coral Gables or that of the University of Florida in Gainesville, read the reports of the British Embassy, read the proceedings of Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy, go to the Google earth site and observe the imagery, etc. El Jigue 4-14-06.'' | |||

Barnstar of Don Quixote
I hereby award you this barnstar of Don Quixote for having the initiative to overrule Jimbo over at Che Guevara. You will undoubtedly be blocked, harassed, and subjected to all other manner of wiki nastiness for this action. (Not that you necessarily care, being retired.) But I, for one, support your action. Cheers, Silly rabbit 13:21, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Che Guevara
Yeah. I'm pretty intrigued by this turn of events as well. Jimbo, what made you suddenly decide to aggressively cause a content dispute on a featured article, echoing to a tee points made by Ed Poor sometime ago? And how does this new editor, "Eddie", who has made no content edits at all on wikipedia, expect to re-write a featured article compiled largely by experts on the subject? Also, how was Eddie "alerted to the problem of this page", I can't see any diffs to suggest that he was? And I have no idea why Eddie would be alerted to this by you as he shows no connection to the article via his history of contributions - unless he was editing under a different, more familiar name? Some answers would welcome regarding this curious affair, not least out of respect to expert editors such as Polaris999 who spent many, many long hours working on the article for the benefit of the site. Perhaps Ed Poor could shed some light on this?-- Zleitzen 08:43, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't know anything about any of that. Yesterday I decided to spend some time doing something fun: reading Misplaced Pages randomly and doing some minor editing. A rare pleasure. I first read all about Patty Hearst, including a ton of related articles. Then I moved on to Charles Manson, reading a bunch of articles related to him. Eventually I moved on to Che Guevara. I know enough about the subject to know that a salient fact about him is that he was a mass murderer who committed his crimes on behalf of a dictator. I was surprised to see that the article did not mention this in the introduction. So I added an NPOV tag and left a comment on the talk page. I fail to see what is "aggressive" about this.
I was not contacted by Ed Poor. I can't imagine how this article could be considered a featured article. I have no information about a new editor named Eddie, and I so have no idea if he is a good writer or not. I have no information about how Eddie stumbled across the debate and decided to help out, and no reason to think that he is a sockpuppet of Ed Poor, if that is what you are hinting.--Jimbo Wales 16:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Fellow Fidel Castro editor
Hello, Zleitzen (I'm assuming you've returned). Have you seen SilentVoice's User page? He's got us all branded as 'Fidel Castro' lovers. GoodDay 23:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hello again GoodDay. Contrary to appearances, I haven't officially returned - I was just browsing a few old pages I'd worked on in passing, when out of the blue Jimbo slapped a POV sticker on one them, whilst launching into what reads like a hyperbolic, bizarre POV rant - so I've involuntarily waded in to defend to the page and the editors there from this kind of unnecessary business. Regarding SilentVoice, I don't see my name on his page. I might have stuck up for the old goat Castro a few times in my past here, but not out of any admiration, rather to make rational points and present the articles in a manner akin to what one would expect from a genuine encyclopedia. Presumably that labels one a "Castro lover" as is quite common on the English wikipedia, but with those types of people when they're sitting on North Pole, everyone a Southerner. If this were a Cuban wikipedia, we'd likely be branded an anti-Castro counter-revolutionaries by people cut from the same cloth but of a different colour.-- Zleitzen 11:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

- Great to see you back here!--Jersey Devil 09:50, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, I see the discussion on Talk:Che Guevara. Good luck with that. :)--Jersey Devil 15:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Che
I'm afraid I haven't studied him in any depth, so I'm hard pushed to recognise an unreliable source or defend a reliable one (Cuban architecture and wildlife is lot easier to write about, José Martí Memorial is as about as close as I've got to writing about politics over here before this), and I got fed up with repeating myself to those who obviously weren't reading what I wrote and think WP:V and WP:NPOV are the same policy. I was hoping that the thrill would fade after Jimbo lost interest in defending his tag addition. I think since the consensus seems to be that the time as supreme prosecutor should be in the lead then somebody should work on fleshing out the other details to genuinely give some balance (which will undoubtedly generate complaints that the lead is too long. What fun!) Yomangani 23:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- I was just over at User talk:Gtadoc (declining acting as mediator or writing an intro for the above subject) when I noticed your comments there. I cannot say I was impressed with either the language or the tone. Nor was I happy that you chose to continue your discussions there rather than the article talkpage (although, in light of my displeasure at seeing the content, I am not surprised). I think you could do with chilling just a little over this.
- I am more disappointed that you have chosen to conflict with Gtadoc (and he with you) since it is likley that had the two of you chosen to work together there could be an excellent intro to a good article with references from the two camps that Guevara seems to polorise folk into. LessHeard vanU 20:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- There already was an excellent introduction. It was the one that had stood for years and was agreed by massive consensus during the Featured article process. There are not two camps here. There was consensus and credibility, until a POV intervention by Jimbo Wales brought acolytes in his wake to do his bidding and disrupt the article.-- Zleitzen 10:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I am so sorry you are having to endure all of this again. There is no sense in what is happening. The predictable entry of people who know nothing of the endless history of your inevitably polite, reasoned and ethical responses repeatedly offered over more than a year's time makes this current enterprise seem quite hopeless. I can't think that even you, for whom I have endless respect, can put yourself through this again. And even if you do, the scenario will be repeated as it has been on other articles, over and over again in the future. What you have created and given to Misplaced Pages has been an extraordinary -- enormous amounts of work characterized by beauty and intellectual integrity. I have long admired your optimism and your willingness to keep on trying here but now it is clear your extraordinary abilities are being wasted. (I realized that when the FA incident occurred.) Please be kind to yourself and do not put yourself through this again. Sincerely, Mattisse 00:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks Matisse. Indeed it's very frustrating, as the era is very complicated, way too complicated to be handled in this manner. Particularly when you have to hash out basic facts again and again to people who could probably barely point Cuba out on the map.-- Zleitzen 10:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Is mediation and then arbitration next.? It would really be interesting to see whether the arbitration committee would back his position. I think the average American might. I am going to withhold my own opinion for now. I need to read up on what the other electronic encyclopedia's have to say. Albion moonlight 09:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Ibrahim and Omara.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Ibrahim and Omara.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 15:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Elizardo Sánchez
The article Elizardo Sánchez has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Does not meet WP:GNG. Only a single source. Google search reveals very few mentions
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. AusLondonder (talk) 00:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Posada mugshot.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Posada mugshot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
