| # The information whilst good, is without references (although to be fair, the webpages do offer the reader to contact the charity to be sent further information). So do they really "add infomation" to that already in the articles and merit being an external link ? | |||
| # I find Sirprojects' repeated descrption of ''"<link> Free information provided by a registered charity, the Canadian Society of Intestinal Research"'' awkward. I was tempted just to cut to "Canadian Society of Intestinal Research", but if this is a particular respected Canadian research funding/education body then perhaps some description of "worth" of the site should be made.

| The three Ds of Drinking namely Diet, Dilution and Duration are considered to be a informal thumbrule for drinking. | |||
| '''Diet''' | |||
| It is always advisable to drink after you have had your meal. But if you want to get ] quickly, you can drink without having a meal. | |||
| Duration | |||
| Duration is the time for which one drinks. It is common sense that if you spread your drinking time for quite a while, you can enjoy it and also drink more. | |||
| Dilution | |||
| Dilution goes hand in hand with Duration. If you want to drink more and also enjoy it, start with a mild (diluted) peg and then graduadly increase the concentration. | |||

| Hi, | |||
| == Invitation to participate in a research == | |||
| Just wondering why on earth is it not possible to have an article on Encyclopedia Dramatica? I've discovered Encyclopedia Dramatica and Misplaced Pages recently, and think they are both great! But I can't find an answer anywhere. Since you apparently hold the power over it being deleted, or whatever the deal is, perhaps you can clue me in? Encyclopedia Dramatica is a pretty weird site, and looked here on Misplaced Pages to get some genral information on it (like I do for just about everything), but its blocked? Why? I don't understand | |||

Could you, as an admin, delete and protect ] and ]?

If that is the case, you are relying on somebody who in turn relies on ignorance ("I didn't know the other meanings for it"). I can let you know that the two users concerned have plainly refused to look up the word in a local language dictionary and never denied the fact that it is a proper name among the ]s of Kerala. Ignorance, lack of receptiveness, élitism and disdain for the peripheral lives- you have been party to them. And one user who googled the word in question and found that it meant a very loose cunt in some Icelandic language epitomises the wisdom of your ilk. ] 18:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

But there was no need for name calling. ] says clearly that "There is a subtle difference between "You are a troll" and "You are acting like a troll", but "You seem to be making statements to provoke people" is even better, as it means the same without descending to name-calling. ". Isn't it our policy to "comment on comment ; not on user"? Later you quoted a few remarks by ] to support your claim that ] is a troll. I think, it would have been better if you had done this earlier ( rather than doing it after it lead to a conflict). Are you sure that those remarks you quoted are violation of ], since they are comments in the talk page and not edits in any article. (They are inappropriate, of course) Is it proper to threaten to take administrative action against someone with whom (and while) you are engaged in a conflict? If you feel administrative action is necessary, give proper (and specific) warning in the talk page of the user. It is always better to use warning templates, in its proper sequence and citing the specific reasons. You first called this user a troll, then asked him to leave wikipedia and refused to discuss and then cited reasons for you action. This RFA gave me a chance to look at the edits of ] . In contrast, I see that Deepu has shown great restraint and strict adherence to policies even when he was personally attacked. As an administrator, the community expects you to set models for dealing with conflict and difficult users. Please do not create an impression of administrative abuse.(These comments are slightly modified version of my earlier comments. see the page history)] 09:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| I would like to quote this from ]. | |||
| *Administrators are not empowered to block usernames for "trolling". | |||
| *When you try to decide if someone is a troll, strive to assume they are not. Explain errors politely and reasonably; point them towards policies, the manual of style and relevant past discussions. Don't conclude they are a troll until they have shown complete inability or unwillingness to listen to reason or to moderate their position based upon the input of others. Even in that case, it is likely better to remain silent and let others conclude the obvious instead of calling someone a troll and creating even more mayhem. | |||
| and this from ] | |||
| *Do not insult the vandals. Most vandals are either newbies who don't know any better, or true vandals and trolls. Getting angry and insulting, deriding them, or verbally assaulting them will either alienate potentially useful future users if the former, or play right into their wishes if the latter." | |||

We have a very clear policy regarding how to deal with trolls, vandals, impolite users, etc. You need to ignore this rule, only if someone is making use of the loop holes in the policies. In this case there was no need for it. When you talk to some one ( even to a vandal) as if you are talking on behalf of wikipedia, you have to adhere to wikipedia policies. ( That is why these policies/ guidelines have been adopted). What I quoted shows that, in this case, the action of this admin, is against our policies.

| Hi Samir, | |||
| I’m sending this message out to about 4-5 people I’ve worked with here on Misplaced Pages. Its not a blind carbon copy to 1000 people. Sorry its only partially wiki-related... | |||
| Basically as you probably know I make a lot of diagrams for use on Misplaced Pages in my spare time while studying a Biochemistry BSc (hons) degree at the University of Sussex in the UK. Next year (in my final year) I’m planning on starting up a medical graphics company. Its been suggested to me more than once that some of my diagrams are as good as, if not better than those presently in research papers and text books, so it seems like a good logical progression (and more so something I enjoy!) to start up a company producing them. | |||
| But without a reputation, and as a nameless student work will be stagnant or non-existent. So I’m desperately trying to make a small name for myself and to build a credible reputation as both a scientist and artist. So to cut to the chase what I’m messaging people about is just to say please please please, if you or '''any''' of your colleagues are publishing research articles/text books etc. and need bespoke diagrams please get them in touch, I would be forever grateful! I’m very very happy to do the jobs for free as I enjoy them anyway and the exposure would help me no end! They have nothing to lose, if they don’t like what I produce its not like they paid for it, and are under no obligation to use it. I can’t stress how helpful a diagram in a published work would be for me. I do have a portfolio of generally better work than the pics here on Misplaced Pages, but examples to show colleagues are those such as: | |||
| ] | |||
| Anyway, as always if you need any diagrams done here on Misplaced Pages, I’m an email away! If you do by any chance know of anyone seeking a scientist/artist then please be sure to get them onto me! (My email is nick-daines<at>hotmail.com). Thanks! | |||

| Hi Samir - Thanks for your comments about the timeline. You did make the critical error of admitting you know something about this stuff. :) I'm writing a more detailed history of PUD and H. pylori for my dissertation, which I hope to add here once it's finished. I had a question, which perhaps you can answer. (I the Reference Desk, but didn't get a great answer.) Palmer's study in 1954 didn't find H. pylori in the stomach because he failed to use the silver staining technique (or so I'm told). I would like to know two things. (1) Why exactly does H. pylori only show up clearly using this technique? (At the RD I got the generic "somethings take up different stains" answer, which I understand.) (2) Would not using this technique represent a serious error by Palmer? (I.e. Were there lots of bacteria which only showed up using this technique that were known about in the 50s? Did everyone use this technique when doing histological studies in the 50s? etc.) No problem if you don't have time to give me a detailed answer, we're all busy. Thanks again for all your help! --''best, kevin'' <b>]<b>]]<b>]</b> 06:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

Disambiguation link notification for June 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Allan S. Detsky, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Broadway (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Proposed deletion of Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology
The article Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or 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.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign 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. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
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.

- Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
- 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.

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder
This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
