My recent changes to the Thiessen article were deleted. As far as I can tell though there is nothing defamatory about Thiessen there. I simply noted that he had been criticized in a dozen newspapers across America, which is true and easily verifiable (I also included 4 references proving this). Please re-visit the libel/defamatory page and explain specifically what you think is defamatory so that I will know better in the future and so we can craft this addition in a way that meets with Misplaced Pages's standards. Here is what I added:


{| style="background-color: #fdffe7; border: 1px solid #fceb92;"
After writing a column that attacked the ] using false information and then refusing to issue a full correction, Thiessen was criticized for dishonesty and his ties to white supremacists by members and Jewish leaders of the Society in letters and op-eds published in almost a dozen major newspapers across the country. <ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/06/the-facts-about-the-john-birch-society-and-william-f-buckley/|title=The facts about the John Birch Society and William F.

The issue is you didn't complete the process immediately. I took down the template after around eight hours without any deletion discussion page being created. This could have been avoided if everything was done immediately. I don't mean that you had bad intentions or anything like that. But preferably, creating the article's deletion discussion page should be done immediately after adding the template to the article. ] (]) 02:46, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey Calton, please don't provide suggestions on my Talk page as to articles that may or may not meet the criteria for notability *especially* when there's a shitstorm in a teacup going on in relation to that specific topic. It isn't helpful. ]<sup>]</sup> 12:54, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

::Well, for one, people would most likely say "Oh look, he's only nominating that to show he doesn't have a bias against UK companies so clearly he must have, otherwise he wouldn't have taken that suggestion".

To date though they haven't brought it back for a Deletion Review.'' Also, ''I also note that the Telegraph says "One person who works at a UK technology company which had its Misplaced Pages article deleted accused Misplaced Pages users of being biased against UK technology companies. “The political bias of the editors is astounding and especially the anti-UK sentiment” they said. “They want only delete UK firms while leaving any US firm with a page.” They wished to remain anonymous for fear of further action from Misplaced Pages users against them."'' Might be a coincidence, might not, but Jason Trost was checked as having given Eileen the heads-up and he works in a UK technology firm and probably felt aggrieved. ]<sup>]</sup> 14:15, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm not in an edit war. I am pursuing a resolution, however "editor" Melencron is repeatedly removing content while an open review is in process. Indeed Melencron is in direct violation of Misplaced Pages criteria.
1. Notability for listing a person - https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Notability_(people).
While the section on Politicians and Judges have specific requirements, no where does it say that one must be on the ballot to be listed, in fact, if one follows the requirements as stated, then several of the candidates listed who were not even on the ballot must be removed. Nevertheless, as I am part of an article, I fall under Due WrightI meet the standards of General Notability wherein I am eligible to be discussed as part of a larger article. In addition, I fall under the umbrella of Scientist as a published researcher - https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7358593?reload=true&arnumber=7358593, Inventor - http://techfinder.rutgers.edu/tech?title=VSTEP%3A_Balance%2C_Mobility%2C_and_Fitness_Rehabilitation_Game, https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2017040658&recNum=127&docAn=US2016049695&queryString=augmented%20reality&maxRec=37325 and I have had multiple instances of media coverage: https://cannagather.com/october2017, https://www.spreaker.com/user/netrootsradio/robbgosinefinalall, https://issuu.com/cityandstate/docs/csny_08072017_version (page 23)

Even Misplaced Pages has me listed in a different language - https://pt.wikipedia.org/Elei%C3%A7%C3%A3o_municipal_de_Nova_Iorque_em_2017
So how is it that two editors on Misplaced Pages have taken it upon themselves to attack me personally? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:58, 1 January 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Proposed deletion of Everwin Pneumatic Corp. ==

Hello Calton, I am one of the main editors of the article under the name "Everwin Pneumatic". I noticed that you proposed the deletion of this very article a few days ago as it seemed like an advert in your point of view. Due to this, I have revised the article and changed many of the wording and contents in the article that seemed not "neutral" enough. For instance, I removed all external links that focused solely on products of this very company. Furthermore, I completely removed the category under the name "Product line". In short, I believe that these recent revisions of mine have made the article as objective as possible and that my article no longer deserves to be under the proposal of deletion.

Why don’t you explicitly state where iyo my edit does not comply with ] in the talk page instead of hiding behind a convenient revert button accusing me of not having a consensus I gave given to orhers instead thus making it at least 2 against 1 in favor of neutrally mentioning both extremes of the spectrum? ] (]) 10:21, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Of course, if you plan to ask for a boomerang, you'll want to do it in the restored section. But I doubt the admins would come down ''too'' hard on someone who is clearly as lost as this editor.

This is a smear made by Beyond My Ken without any evidence. How do I go about reporting him in the proper way? I just checked and those two other users have a long history of editing on topics related to white supremacists. I just joined Misplaced Pages last month and all of my edits so far have nothing to do with alt-right or white supremacist figures except the Gavin McInnes page (who isn't even a white nationalist, he seems to identify as more of a libertarian or "new right"). All of a sudden two editors Calton and Beyond My Ken jump all over me accusing me of being a sock based on zero evidence. I believe what is going on is these two users have political agendas and are trying to smear me as a "sock" to prevent me from contributing and editing on Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 17:02, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

:Right, no evidence whatsoever, other than the obvious sockpuppet behavior -- oh, and the ] that saw you and your many many socks blocked. I guess the aggressive approach doesn't help when you've got something to hide, does it? --] | ] 16:25, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

== Personal attacks ==

I tried to offer constructive comments on the ANI about sizes of nazi images, JzG seems to have misinterpreted my comment and assumed bad faith, when called out on this by other editors, JzG tried to justify his bad faith assumption by misrepresenting completely unrelated disputes to attack my character as an editor. I removed the attacks, and now you are edit warring to restore them. Do you realize what a bad idea it is to edit war to restore personal attacks on ANI? And why do you feel the need to restore PAs on an ANI thread that has nothing to do with you? Neither you nor JzG have any involvement in that ANI other than personally attacking me, so why not just stop?

I have warned JzG, but I think he needs slightly more ] before being reported to ANI, I am not convinced that I have a good case that sanctions would be preventative at this point, and I am hoping that he will just not do this again, making an ANI over it a complete waste of time, but this doesn't mean that I can't remove the PAs he already made. However, if you keep restoring the PAs, I will have to report YOU to ANI to make you stop, I CAN make a case that you need to be blocked to stop you from edit-warring to reastore PAs. ] (]) 05:17, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
: You haven't "warned" me, you have merely stated an opinion. As have I, based on my long observation of your editing. You don't get to be arbiter of whether an admin's comment on your edits is a personal attack or a valid comment on problematic editing. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 10:13, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Early in '']'' the young ] and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that <blockquote>Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?"</blockquote> My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019. ]&#124;] 18:21, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

If anything I said offended you, I certainly didn't intend it to. It's my experience that editors doing that usually have an agenda of some kind, and that coupled with the deletion of text mentioning Jews seemed to show what that agenda was. ] ] 11:20, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Since you don't seem to think I'm allowed to edit my own comments on your talk page, I'll make this may last effort to withdraw from any further discussion with you on this or any other topic. I notice from this talk page that many take umbrage at your approach, and I would count myself amongst those numbers, but let it suffice to say that I have no interest in further dialogue with or interaction with you. Continued updates to my commentary in a way that does not accurately reflect my sentiments (e.g. by deleting these comments and reverting solely to the original message) will be seen as deliberately antagonistic. It seems that you're not open to someone trying to take a softer tone or to better explain their actions. I'm guessing that's because it doesn't create the foil you need to satisfy some seeming penchant for riposte. Your comments have been deleted from my talk page, and shall remain so. To quote a message you sent me, "My talk page, genius". Should anyone be interested in reading them (though I can't imagine why they would), they're available in the history. <s>I am not going to start a revert battle with you. As a Change Reviewer, I evaluated the submission and declined the edits of an IP contributor who deleted content that is supported by the citations. I'm not sure if you actually read the sources noted in the article about the MLK date, but I did notice you reverted within 2 minutes of me making the revision. ]'' <small><sup>]</sup> <sub>]</sub></small> 03:08, 6 January 2019 (UTC)</s> ]'' <small><sup>]</sup> <sub>]</sub></small> 16:05, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Consider this the only request I will make: Unless you intend to report a policy violation on my part to an administrators' noticeboard, stay off of my talk page. And that includes responding to this message. I will afford you the same courtesy after this message. If you're considering ignoring this request, I suggest that you carefully read ].

It's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical. Can't imagine why you'd have a problem with that.

Some ground rules before you leave a message

  1. I am not an admin. I did not delete your page or article, nor did I block you. I may have, at the very most, suggested or urged deletion of pages or articles but I have no power or ability to do so on my own. I'm just an editor.
  2. This also means, of course, I cannot undelete your page/article, nor unblock you. I can, however, offer you a cookie.
  3. If you are here to make an argument dependent on arcane or convoluted interpretations of Misplaced Pages guidelines or rules, note that Misplaced Pages is not game of nomic nor a court of law. Adherence to common sense and rational argument trumps ruleslawyering, as far as I'm concerned. I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt, thankyouverymuch.
  4. There is no Rule 4.
  5. Don't post when drunk. Seriously.
  6. All communication sent via the "E-mail this user" link is considered public, at my discretion. Reasonable requests for confidentiality will be honored, but the whole "e-mail is sacrosanct and private" argument I do not buy for one solitary second. Do not expect to use that argument as an all-purpose shield.
  7. Do not assume I'm stupid, especially when arguing for something obviously untrue. I do not respond well to having my intelligence insulted.
  8. Don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams. Do I look like Montel Williams? Do I? NO? Then don't lie to me like I'm Montel Williams.
  9. Especially bogus, hostile, and/or trolling remarks are subject to disemvoweling.
  10. Please post at the bottom of the page and "sign" your posts using the squiggly things (--~~~~).
  11. Please extinguish all cigarettes, as this is a No Smoking page.
Thank you. -- The Management.

RIP Calton Bolick (1961-2022)

I regret to inform the Misplaced Pages community that Calton Bolick has passed away, Friday evening Japan time, after a short illness. I've known Cal online for more than 30 years; he was always a fascinating and complicated intellect, sometimes a bit pointy on the edges, but always honest and direct in the pursuit of truth. I'll miss him. --jpgordon 04:42, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
