-I take exception to your comments. I have neither created any pages for |
|
|
my friends, nor have I insulted anyone. I do not deny that fellows from my |
|
|
residence have do these things, but I have not. |

I have been a member of Misplaced Pages for many months now and feel I have made |
|
|
valuable contributions, and I do not like having heinous actions attributed |
|
|
to me. -SimonP |

*I checked "This User's Contributions". It shows what you've worked on. The only ones I see are the ones that were mentioned above. Could you name a couple of the articles you've worked seriously on so we could check the History of them? Name of the people who worked on each version are preserved. ] |

*I have done almost the entire sections on Tudor and Stuart monarchs of England. I have also done a fair bit of Italian renaissance history, including the articles on Castiglione and the Sforzas of Milan. I have also contributed a scattering of other articles on the Panama Canal, Ottawa Ontario and Marys of the Bible (See my participation from many months ago in the discussion of the most obscure Mary of the Bible). I also have been doing a fair bit of work, still very preliminary on the Canadian history section. This was all more than hree months ago. Because of projects exams and spending far too many hours per day at this site I have not been back in some time. -SimonP |

* I am deleting "Cum bucket" again. This is a serious warning: further actions of this kind will be considered vandalism and will get you banned from the project. ] |
|
|
|
|
|
* Please explain why you deleted my article. Here, to remind you, is the text I wrote 'Cum Bucket: A derogatory and misogynistic term used to reference women who are sexually active. Most popularly used on college campuses.' How did this merit immediate deletion. I agree the original article posted by the troll did, but my version was no less a wiki article than others such as ]. My article was strictly NPOV. It may have been too dictionary like, but that does not mean it merits immediate deletion as someone with more information (perhaps on the term's origin etc.) could turn it into a decent article. -SimonP |

** That was certainly not in the version of the article I read. The actual deletion was done by someone else before I could get to it, so apparently this wasn't just ''my'' reaction. :) I refer you to ] again - there's a section on discussion of foul language in there. Basically, ], particularly not one of slang terms; unless someone's going to write a long and involved article on this one, I think the title does more harm than good. ] |

*** I shall not dispute your decision, and I now realize you were reacting to the earlier profanity laced version, which I had no part in creating, and not the one I created. I still do not think the article I wrote met wikipedia's deletion requirments, however, as someone with more knowledge of the term could have written a long involved article on it, as has been done on wikipedia with other slang profanities. But I do not think that wikipedia is any worse off without a discussion of the term in question, and my questions are more matters of principle than any desire to see a plethora of such entires. The only other issue is that I am still not thrilled at having been so quickly threatened with banishment. |

**That was me that deleted that version. Not only did the article fit nicely into the profile of the other articles being created as part of the vandalism being done by your friends, but it also fell under the "Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary" guideline; a one-liner like that would be on shaky ground anyway. ] |

** I must remind you that your contributions tonight were in the company of others from your own residence who were making edits that can only be described as vandalism. Your restoration of a page already deleted once for uselessness, insult and profanity was looked on by me as being part of this pattern of attacks. I apologize if you did not take part in the various instances of profanity and insult, but it became difficult to separate your contributions from those of your fellows. I suggest you discourage them from further such attacks. ] |

** To further exonerate SimonP, I noticed the following last night before my machine locked up, and I had little desire to log back in. In the user:Bryan page that was created with profanity, I noticed SimonP's name with a minor edit. By the time I checked, the slur against Bryan was in there so I assumed SimonP was the one who added the info. Before it was deleted I looked at it again and he had actually removed the slur, and then it had been replaced again by one of the vandals. His contributions to the other such pages created seemed to be an attempt to make them fit more into Misplaced Pages, as he didn't create any of them. My sincerest apologies SimonP, I jumped in as part of a witch hunt (vandal hunt rather - since there were actual vandals that were involved) before checking the full story. As far as the deleted page, I agree that even the "NPOV" version you created isn't really a Misplaced Pages article. The phrase doesn't have the historical background of some other phrases, targets individuals - not groups, and is vulgar. To me, it's the equivalent of putting up articles called "A$$hole", "Motherf__er", etc. Although it is a bit more specific in the people it targets, I wouldn't want a serious encyclopedia I bought to have such articles, and I'd not like to see Misplaced Pages add such. I do commend you though for attempting to fix the article when you saw it. I also commend you for remaining calm in the face of accusations with your replies. Again, sincere apologies for my part. ] |

I was not offended by your “essay” comment, but the use of the term “undergrad” as a term of derision. If it weren’t an utter waste of time, I’d go through your contributions, excoriating your writing as that of an ‘undergrad level’ whenever possible. |

By the way, I have a page now. |
