Schumacher revert

Hello. What is the reason for your recent revert on the Michael Schumacher article? It seems to me that you removed interesting info. SamH 13:03, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I agree that the last sentence was slightly POV. Your version is much better. SamH 15:54, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

SubGenius

SubGenius is a trademark of SubGenius Networks in addition to the title of a religion. SubGenius is not a registered trademark of anyone. Misplaced Pages's redirect from SubGenius/Subgenius to 'the chutch of the subgenius' is in error. (24.254.56.98 | talk)

We're not defining 'SubGenius Networks' nor 'The Church of the SubGenius'. SUBGENIUS ALONE is the subject of this post and SUBGENIUS has a meaning apart from 'The Church of the SubGenius'. SUBGENIUS is a public domain word in use as part of 'SubGenius Networks' own trademark.

SUBGENIUS ALONE, as it is defined.. has two meanings.

1. A denizen of the underground "subculture", attuned to the obscure.
2. Basis of the Church of the Subgenius.

Fox News

Why did you (1) revert without discussing and (2) mark a revert as minor? That's dishonest. I'm reinstating my edits and hope you will discuss before reverting next time.

I admit my change was perhaps a little cheeky, but I gave a reason on the Talk page, and you gave none for the revert, either on the page or in your edit summary. I'm willing to be talked into the revert, but not bullied into it. Bds yahoo 23:56, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi, where is your reply on the Talk page? Can't locate it. Bds yahoo 00:17, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

If I may ask, what was wrong with 216.27.183.122's edits to FOX News? Are they factually inaccurate? They seem like legitimate edits to me. Anyhow, the sysop revert button is generally reserved for instances for vandalism or bad-faith edits. In cases otherwise, I'd reccomend doing a old-style revert with a detailed edit summary. Thanks.

Previous Problems With Nirvana Article

This regards the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/With_the_Lights_Out

I came across that article from a link from a Nirvana message baord. I at the time had never been to Misplaced Pages and did not know what this site was. My dillema is this: This might sound really strange and believe me I've learned my lesson: The tracklisting for the upcoming Nirvana boxset is under lock and key. It has not been released yet at all. Not even one song is known on the listing. I had edited the page just screwing around with test data, because I had never used this site before. I had made a FAKE list of songs to test editing the page. After I had made my edit and figured out how to do it, I had deleted what I had typed. Everything was safe and sound until I came back much later on. People had looked at the history of that page edit and took the FAKE list I made up and reposted it. Vandals had messed with the page, and for some reason an editor of this site had protected the page, and reverted back to my first version with the fake tracklisting. So for awhile the page was protected with the fake tracklisting. I then became frantic. What if someone from the press got ahold of that list and thought it was true while the page was uneditable? I emailed some of he ediors on the page about it. What I ask and beg is that you and others keep an eye on that article for anyone posting that old tracklisting I made. IT IS NOT REAL. I simply used it as test data to practice editing a page. I don't know why anyone reverted back to it without any research, and after I deleted it. The tracklisting as of yet does not exist and won't for a month. Right now the tracklisting is blank is that page, after I talked to some people about it. And I ask of you that it stays like that until an official word is out. Could you even protect the page so that vandals cannot further do it again, at least until nov 23 when the real trackisting will be revealed? Thank you, and again I don't know why this got so out of hand. (128.119.146.183 | Talk)

i would like an apology for your misunderstanding

the facts in my paris hilton edit were correct and rendered in a neutral way, you had no right to alter them. I realize that words like "nigger" are commonly used in vandalous ways but you could simple could have googled "paris hilton" nigger and had your answer in all of two seconds. There is no excuse for academic laziness like that. You call yourself an administrator.

A non black person who uses the word nigger outside of very narrowly defined and still controversial contexts is a racial slurrer. That is the definition. The racial slur was heard in her latest sex tape. Maybe you should preoccupy yourself less with esp truth deducing (which might explain your passionate, factually stingy, defense of zionism. Here's a hint, assume is not the only step before writing something down. You're in for alot of nasty surprises (especially from the female sex) if you keep assuming. (69.197.194.92 | Talk)

Vandalism

> Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be prevented from editing Misplaced Pages.

I haven't edited any pages on Misplaced Pages, let alone vandalized them. Attempting to warn all users with a given IP seems as though it would hardly do any good, considering the fact that most users don't have a static IP address and are instead assigned one dynamically by their ISP when they connect. Presumably this would mean that every time someone is given that number, they'll get this warning when they view a Misplaced Pages article. Either there has to be a way to be less indiscriminate about it, or there's little point in saying anything. :/ (68.20.19.107 | Talk)

Fox to the right revert

Fox is absolutely to the Right by interpretation of their own definition of other players, as they describe (in nasty language) all other media as being to the Left, Far Left, Radical Left, Leftist Media, etc. So what's NNPOV about describing them as to the Right of most media? Leonard G. 17:50, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

(Message echoed here):

{FOX contends that it is neutral, and to say without qualification that it lies to the right of other news sources is easily open to misinterpretation. There was already a discussion on the subject, during which time a statement very similar to the one I reverted was added to the opening paragraph of the article (see Talk:FOX News/Archive three#.22relatively_right-wing.22). It was decided that it would best belong in the first paragraph of "Allegations of bias," where a slightly modified version still remains:

FOX News asserts that it is more objective and factual than other American networks, and its promotional statements include "fair and balanced" and "we report, you decide." The network thus intends to provide an alternative to such news sources as CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, or CBS, for those who believe that the other networks are dominated by a liberal bias. There is a widespread perception that FOX lies to the political right of most other prominent news sources; there is much dispute, however, as to whether the channel is actually a neutral source, or carries a bias in favor of right-wing, conservative, or Republican interests.

I think that passage expresses the same idea in a more neutral fashion. (I have cross-posted my reply to Talk:FOX News.) ] 18:01, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Please see my reply to your latest message at Talk:FOX News. ] 18:11, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I got your message, just after putting my oar into the article. Revert if you wish, I don't care about Fox that much, but I think that my statement holds up - that Fox is implicitly self describing itself as right wing. What they publicly claim is that they are in the middle, which is a mater of perception management, especially considering what would be to their right, I think that we all realize that the political spectrum is not a straight line, but more like a color wheel, where really extreme left (Communist dictatorship) meets extreme right (Fascist dictatorship. So placing Fox on this wheel is really a matter of finding where the middle is. Another way of classifying is to use a two or three dimensional descriptive space, with the "middle" in the center of the space, and axis describing qualities. Most people are not single dimensional (although they may be subject to single-issue political methods). Best wishes, Leonard G. 18:19, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Test

Hmmmm. I'm not sure I meant to conduct any tests, or that I know what doing so would accomplish... I'm kinda new to this whole adventure. (65.94.189.204 | Talk)

your bs on my talk page

I haven't got a clue what you are talking about. I have never ever used the word martyr or murder on wikipedia. Stop accusing me of things I don't know anything about, 'cause I really detest that!

Idiot!
