Re:Discussion page

No worries about creating the talk page. Normally, discussion pages of articles would remain red links until editors bring forward some issues about these pages. (You might start the talk page simply by editing it and save the page, really!) About editors who could be interested in arts or museum, perhaps you might post your questions at the talk page of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Arts if you need help from users who are knowledgeable about art-related topics. If this project is inactive, you might ask some editors in the list of participants directly, or you might also request help from one of its sub project (like Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Architecture). You're doing very well in expanding and improving São Paulo Museum of Art. Thanks for your contributions, :) Peacent 10:28, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Museum name

Hi Dornicke (talk), I think for now the best idea is to use Museum of Contemporary Art, University of São Paulo, although the original Portuguese name is ok too. I think the translated English version is fine, and will be more easily grasped here. I hope this helps. Modernist (talk) 22:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Reversion

Congrats

Hey, I've just seen the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes article and want to congratulate you for the work you did to showcase Brazilian heritage in Wiki-en by expanding it. In January 2007, in another life (as User:Fsouza), I created it as a small draft, and it's great to see that someone turned it into a wonderful article. I rarely come back to Wiki-en to see "my" old articles, and today I had this nice surprise. Best, --Fulviusbsas (talk) 05:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Dornicke; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

3 Revert Rule reminder

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.--MONGO 15:43, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. The thread is Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Dornicke reported by User:VQuakr (Result: ). Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 20:25, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Dornicke (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

"The warning in my page reads: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. / You are reverting criticism related to whitewashing in the article in the talk page. Not a single valid reason for censoring it has been provided. The project rules do not support this kind of censorship. It's bad enough that a group of editors believe to the the owners of the article and persistently revert any change in the text. But now you want to CENSOR valid criticism towards the article in the talk page itself? That's more than a very bad taste joke. It's vandalism. Talk about "ideological motivation"... As for "The editor's work seems to have a singular ideological motivation", just look for my contributions, in this project, and also in the Portuguese (including the featured articles I wrote, almost all of them about art), the French, the Italian, and the Spanish wikipedias. And also for the 6,000 images I've uploaded/donated to Wikimedia Commons. The first reversion by Mongo didn't even include a reason. That's because he simply didn't know how to justify such an absurd action as deleting a discussion simply because he didn't like the way it was going... and it's really funny to see editors that were not even involved in the discussion running here to ask for "punishment". Why? No arguments to defend your point of view, so nobody must see the criticism in the talk page? LOL indeed!Dornicke (talk) 00:21, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Misplaced Pages, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. --jpgordon 04:23, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I think this exchange illustrates the institutional flavor of Misplaced Pages. I saw the discussion on the talk page and found it typical of the Misplaced Pages community. This user has it right; I agree with their assertions about that unfounded sentence in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.63.243.106 (talk) 11:16, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Misplaced Pages:Village pump (miscellaneous) are not for general discussion about unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. ansh666 18:53, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
