| OK, if you want to accuse me or {{user|Verbal}} of misbehaving then you're welcome to do so, but please put your case together clearly and submit it to an appropriate venue (see ]). Making vague insinuations and sniping at my character in article discussions will achieve nothing apart from making you look vindictive. I was actually trying to help you keep some of the content from the ] article, and successfully saw it merged into the BCI article. Everyone else (without exception) wanted to delete every last sentence of your work until I stepped in. I, along with the other admins/experienced editors will help you with whatever you ask, but there are certain ] here that we can't just ignore. If part of an article is written badly, then people can and will step in to remove the bad content. ] (]) 22:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

Welcome!
Welcome to Misplaced Pages, Frei Hans! I am Call me Bubba and have been editing Misplaced Pages for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Misplaced Pages! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Telepathy and war
In reverting my recent edit (placing the same text elsewhere is still a revert) and removing a tag you have gone well beyond the limits of WP:3RR. I suggest you stop, else you will be justifiably blocked (note I haven't reported you for this, as I'm extending good faith.) Verbal chat 11:08, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Replacing text in a different place can alter the tone of an article. As the content refers to other Misplaced Pages content and is relevant to the section, and as I am aiming for a neutral tone, I thought you might prefer it where I put it. If you continue to accuse me of making unreasonable edits, while expecting that you yourself can "justifiably" remove large blocks of cited and referenced text, then perhaps Misplaced Pages is not the place for you. Why not start an article yourself, have a go at citing and referencing it, and then ask me for feedback. Frei Hans (talk) 12:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- The rules governing WP:3RR are clear. The reintroduction of the text I removed, even in a different place, is a revert. It might not have been considered a revert had you added a WP:RS, but you didn't. Going by the AfD the page will shortly be deleted anyway, and I haven't accused you of what you say. If you continue to make accusations against good faith you may well be reported to WP:WQA, and further reverts will lead to a block. You have ignored lots of good advice, and continue to edit against wikipedia policies (WP:OR in particular). Have a look at WP:YFA and WP:TUTORIAL. Verbal chat 13:11, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- The replaced text was referenced, and also included two links to existing Misplaced Pages articles. I do not feel you are editing in good faith. You have hung around deleting content and posting "edit war" notices and so far I see no evidence of your own efforts to write in an encyclopedic style on the article. Having patience and good faith and putting up with ridicule and vandalism are two different things. Frei Hans (talk)
- See WP:NOTVAND. The article is inherently unencyclopaedic so it isn't possible to write content for it. Misplaced Pages articles can not be used as references for Misplaced Pages articles (that's policy), and neither article links Orwell's Nineteen eighty-four with telepathy, let alone telepathy and war - that is synthesis or your part. You need a reference that does that. Verbal chat 13:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- The text you mentioned had a reference to a non-wiki source as well as Misplaced Pages links. If you are concerned about synthesis, then please demonstrate to me how you would non-synthetically write the phrase instead of moaning and moving to delete the whole article. Frei Hans (talk) 13:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I already did that. I took all of the relevant, directly quoted material and wrote it in a neutral way and removed all synthesised conclusion. You then chose to restore all your own synthesised material. Papa November (talk) 13:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm watching the CBS spot (not a great reference), but to save me time does it actually mention Orwell, thought police, and "telepathy and war" and link them directly, and support the thesis you are making explicitly? If not then I'd remove that sentence, and the section would need retitling. I'm 4 mins in so far. Verbal chat 13:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I just watched the whole thing and saw nothing to support the statement. Could you give the timestamp for the link betweenn telepathy and thought police, etc? Verbal chat 14:08, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

- Hi , while not encyclopedic I thought it was a superbly written article , and your art work was beautifully done to. You should have no problems getting this published elsewhere if you so desire. I've made a copy at wikiInfo - please upload your images there if you get a chance or let me know if its okay for me to do so , and your article can be restored to its original glory! I commented on the AfD to, though I fear the chances of saving the article are slim unless several folk have a change of heart on their attitude to what they see as fringe science and the paranormal. We need a miracle! :-) FeydHuxtable (talk) 13:02, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, go ahead and upload the image. Somebody quibbled over the image content and licensing but the quibbler was one of the people involved in deleting at least 17 references in the article. I've contacted the author of the modified part of the image in question (the head - based on a Angelina Jolie's) and haven't heard any complaint back. Frei Hans (talk) 13:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
