Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 12:13, 30 September 2008

Misplaced Pages ads	file info – show another – #16

Misplaced Pages articles improved to C-class, and then B-class status may be submitted to the peer review process to receive ideas and feedback from other editors.

Upon successful completion of the peer review, an article can be nominated for GA-Class (Good Article) status.

A good article is...

1. Well written: Prose and layout are clear, and comply with certain aspects of the Manual of Style (MOS); in particular, the lead is a concise summary of the article.

2. Accurate and verifiable: Reliable sources are provided, and cited where necessary.

3. Broad: It covers the main aspects of the topic without going into unnecessary detail. It is encyclopedic.

4. Neutral: It represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.

5. Stable: It does not change significantly from day-to-day.

6. Illustrated: if possible and relevant, by images with acceptable copyright status, fair use rationales where necessary, and succinct captions.

In turn, good articles are eligible for being submitted as candidates for FA-Class (Featured Article) status.

TomKat

Hello As you have made comments of the discussion page of the TomKat article, it would be greatly appreciated if you would contribute to the debate on it's Articles for Deletion page. Thanks! http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TomKat

Easy does it

You seem to be attacking me. The concerns I have raised are bona fide, I am going through proper channels, and I am in contact with Rlevse. He would surely tell me to back off if I was causing a problem. Feel free to address your concerns to him. Jehochman 02:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I am not attacking you, Jeochman. I have expressed my concerns in talk, and other users, including recent participants have expressed similar concerns. The "proper channels" is to leave this RFA to continue without any further comments on participants. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, please don't comment on me further. I have no need to comment further at the RFA. I will take my concerns directly to WP:RFCU, WP:SSP or WP:BN if required. Jehochman 02:39, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

OK. No problems. Postiing on these boards is a much better way to go about it. Thanks, Jeochman. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your participation at my RfA, which passed with a count of (166/43/7). I appreciate your comments and in my actions as an administrator I will endeavor to act in ways that earn your full confidence, even though I don't have it now. Cirt (talk) 01:30, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

You'll do fine.... ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 01:44, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Rad edit

Takes the cake. The fact that the picture was on Commons since February is mind-boggling stuff. XF Law (talk) 00:17, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, I was as surprised... ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 01:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

How'd you find that old thing? Durova 00:52, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Sarah Palin - OR

Hi Jossi, Could you please review my comments here: ] and revise if you agree. Thanks, IP75 75.36.70.205 (talk) 05:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Apology

I apologize for this remark . It wasn't a helpful thing to say or ask. Cla68 (talk) 22:26, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I saw it and thank you for refactoring. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Brian Schweitzer

Why did you lock Brian Schweitzer's Wiki Page. We were having discussion regarding the controversy section to come to an agreement. This is a very important part of his Governorship and it could define his history and hand print on the state. Please allow at least a knocked down version with links to all the info regarding this issue. Also there was a 2006 lawsuit filed regarding this issue that should be able to be posted as well, and some of his statements match up to the lawsuit that was filed. Help2008Montana (talk) 00:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

It was semi protected for seven days per this request. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Jossi, I just found out that the discussion section on Brian Schweitzer's Wiki page was removed also. Please resolve this problem. Also the following is who took the controversy section down, she is the governors press secretary http://www.greatfallstribune.com Help2008Montana (talk) 16:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Jossi, are you going to remove the protection from Brian Schweitzer? Currently its been 8 days of protection. Discussion has been very little regarding the removal of the "controversy" section. Could you please remove the protection. Help2008Montana (talk) 14:32, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

The protection expired yesterday and now the page is open for editing. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:37, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Serious problems at Ramakrishna

Hi Jossi, please see here. I am going to revert the last month's worth of edits to the Ramakrishna article because all references to the most notable academic studies of the past 30 years have been deleted from the biography section. I would really appreciate any guidance that you can offer. — goethean ॐ 19:00, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I have commented there, and it is in my watchlist. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 20:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

A user NVineeth is POVing on Ramakrishna and Keshub Chunder Sen and undoing some of my effort to insert quotes from Romain Rolland's biased (1929) book. I am not expert on wiki mediation so dont know what to do about this. 65.49.14.82 (talk) 17:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Palin image input

I could just kiss you. But I'm a dude. So i'll just say well done. Duuude007 (talk) 22:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

There is a uncropped version that could be added, but I wasnt sure how you did that. the source is here: http://www.andrewhalcro.com/files/FH000020.jpg On the left is aide Ivy Frye (implicated in troopergate); the other is former Lt. Gov. Loren Leman. Duuude007 (talk) 22:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Permission for the uncropped version was not given to OTRS. The permission was for just that portion, as far as I understand. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)

• You can check my talk page. I am in consistent talk with Bob Weinstein, he gave me unlimited permission for both. Duuude007 (talk) 22:38, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Nice work on the picture. — Writegeist (talk) 04:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Otherwise, your recent edits look too similar to the recent edit-warring. --Ronz (talk) 23:15, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I have not edited that article for a while. I restored material sourced to a WP:RS and did a cosmetic change to the a section. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

It looks like you're getting up to speed now on what's been going on. Thanks for helping out with the article! --Ronz (talk) 00:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 00:45, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Do you think this edit is justified? -- Levine2112 18:48, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Refactoring

I would've voted for refactoring it, though the alternative: putting a hab/hat on that particular bit of commentary is worthwhile too (given that either party didn't actually withdraw it). What do you think? Ncmvocalist (talk) 04:41, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I would simply close that discussion. If at all, we have a pretty upset user that is at the brink of getting himself in more trouble than already is. And we have a respected admin on the other hand, that is willing to discuss in his talk page. I would say close the discussion. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:50, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

They ended up discussing it on FayssalF's talk page, and I think it's resolved there. Ended up habbing the particular bit of commentary, then closing. Hopefully that's that. :) Ncmvocalist (talk) 11:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Palin2

Jossi, is there some reason why the phrase "virtually every media group in the US" should be in the Sarah Palin article twice?Ferrylodge (talk) 23:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello? That phrase was already in there when you added it a second time, Jossi. Any chance you might be willing to revert?Ferrylodge (talk) 01:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Someone else finally fixed it.Ferrylodge (talk) 03:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Please...

Don't go to Kelly's page again for now. Things are just calming down and we don't need a gust hitting an ember and causing ANOTHER conflagration.. Let it be... SirFozzie (talk) 05:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll think about it, thanks. But there is a limit on how much abuse an editor can assert on others, don't you think? Why are editors defending such appalling behavior? Why the silk-glove treatment? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 05:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

There are some who say the same thing of you, man (someone just brought it up on ANI, which I'm TRYING to shut it down). But let's let it die. Both ways. Enough is enough. SirFozzie (talk) 05:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I see.... Some people are just... Thanks. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 05:23, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Just a note, the quote on your user page is from Miikka Ryokas. Have a nice day. :)  Asenine  09:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed with a count of (154/3/2). I appreciate the community's trust in me, and I will do my best to be sure it won't regret handing me the mop. I am honored by your trust and your support. Again, thank you. –Juliancolton 19:01, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Are you available for e-mail right now? Grsz 02:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

sure. I am on IRC as well ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Roman lettering

Jossi, I am bringing this here because I see that you have given some attention to the Calligraphy article. There is a related article (linked to the calligraphy article) called Roman square capitals that I rewrote and moved to Roman imperial capitals yesterday. This morning it was moved back and reverted. The information in the article is wrong in virtually every respect, including the title. (I have been a professional calligrapher for about 20 years, and would not have made the changes without knowing what I was doing.)

Any suggestions? I am getting tired of having to fight over every change I make to a WP article, and at this point would leave it completely wrong rather than get into another editing conflict. (By the way there is an edit on the article's talk page (the only edit there) dated 11:26, 6 June 2006, that points out the problem; and which I corrected, and is now reverted back.
