International reaction to the 2008 U.S. presidential election
Regarding adding "categories" to International reaction to the United States presidential election, 2008, I invite you to participate in a discussion on the talk page rather than blindly reverting. There is no consensus for your version and you have offered no legitimate argument against the edit I made. Grsz 02:11, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps you should read the talkpage where I long ago replied to you. Your version doesn't exactly have consensus support either. I ask you to please stop mindlessly reverting to a worse version. --Tocino 02:15, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Um, no, you never responded to me. My version makes no determination as to what is a state and what some think is not one, so you're wrong in saying that it would call things states that aren't. Grsz 02:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Listing unrecognized disputed territories side-by-side with sovereign nations tricks the reader into thinking that they are fully recognized states, when in reality they are not. --Tocino 02:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- It in no way "tricks the reader" if the article is simply organized by continent. What's POV in the article is taking one side and saying this country is disputed when others say it's a state. I know you have a personal opinion in this that makes it hard to see it any other way. Grsz 02:37, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Even those who recognize those disputed territories as states would acknowledge that they aren't fully accepted and that their status is disputed. --Tocino 02:38, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, and my edit doesn't say they are states - you are wrongly attributing that to me. Grsz 02:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- But as I said earlier just listing disputed territories amongst nations, without a disclaimer, leaves the impression that those disputed territories are fully accepted nations along with the others. --Tocino 02:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, and my edit doesn't say they are states - you are wrongly attributing that to me. Grsz 02:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Content disputes and brick wall headbanging rituals
First of all, I'd like to thank you for the warnings. I'll try and be more careful next time.
According to WP guidelines, my user page was "utterly innocent." Whoever chose to see it as a personal attack, supposedly committed "the Great sin of Synth" - I was listing random combination of letters and words next to a picture of a douche. On an "unrelated" note, I'm tired of being pushed around by editors who seem to own Misplaced Pages and challenge every contribution possible using WP guidelines as an excuse. Let me quote an excerpt from a conversation between Alastairward and another user who (thank God!) backed me up on a certain citation:
Regents Park: worry about something else. Plenty of other stuff yet to be done on wikipedia.
Alastairward: I come from Northern Ireland, silly disputes are... a cultural reference for me ;)
There seems to be a giant logical fallacy in the Misplaced Pages rule set: while editors that add material bear the "burden of proof," challenging seems much easier. Anyone could challenge anything with the most ridiculous "reason" and by that, shift the weight back to the editor that's been challenged. If you'll carefully examine Alastairward's behavior (without being blinded by the word "added" that shines so brightly in so many edit summaries), he challenges anything he can, thus forcing editors into long and exhausting threads of extensive proof. As far as I'm concerned, such users are nothing short of trolls, asserting their dominance on Misplaced Pages and making other editors (such as myself) feel like "they owe them an explanation as for every edit."
To further illustrate my point (and to end at least one "silly dispute"), please read this and tell me it's not straight our playing dumb on Alastairward's end. I'm urging you to do so because I really feel that an admin intervention is a must at this point. Thank you very much in advance - I await your reply. NotAnotherAliGFan (talk) 05:05, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Don't play stupid. They were usernames of editors you had disagreements with. Grsz 16:13, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- What about the other issues? I already apologized for the alleged personal attack and promised to never repeat such actions. NotAnotherAliGFan (talk) 16:38, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Please respond, I'm only trying to contribute to WP in a civil manner rather than engaging in pointless arguments over someone else's view of my cited references. Thank you in advance for your understanding and help. NotAnotherAliGFan (talk) 08:53, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Since I know you are a penguins fan you might be better to be the one to look at Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr.. -Djsasso (talk) 20:16, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Likewise, the other person involved is in the edit war, it takes two. So I don't get why you single me out?--Levineps (talk) 22:19, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject College football December 2008 Newsletter
The College football WikiProject Newsletter Issue XIII - December 2008 | ||
|
Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Misplaced Pages, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page. I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Misplaced Pages entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game. Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article. | |

Pittsburgh Climate
Hey I am currently defending the article again against an editor who despite being invited to join the talk page discussion multiple times, continues to change the section and Koppen classification on the basis of a single source which looks to be borderline reliable. I have explained on my own talk, their talk and via edit summaries that they need to discuss. At this point I am treating any continuing editing without a new consensus or even any engagement of other editors as an act of bad faith. I am well aware that this may get to the point of 3RR as it did yesterday and I would appreciate if you could have a look at what's been going on, confirm that I am not being out of line and lend support should it be necessary. thanks. Mfield (talk) 21:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Editor has now posted to article talk. Hopefully they will wait for discussion and answers before changing anything now. Mfield (talk) 22:25, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
rollback misuse
since you've been following around my edits for whatever reason, even after you were reported to ANI] for doing so to other editors, i decided to check your contributions to see why you might be bothering me. i assume it's because of this ]. regardless, you have misused rollback here ] and here ]. according to WP:rollback, Misuse of rollback may cause the feature to be revoked by an administrator. so please try to only use rollback with cases of blatant vandalism, not in questionable cases involving content disputes, otherwise your rollback may be removed. if possible, i would highly prefer not to hear from you on my talk page for any reason, based on your previous uncivil tone with me. if, however, you want to respond to me, i shall check back on this talk page so that we can engage in a civil dialogue. if you don't care to respond, that is fine too. but i would prefer no messages from you on my talk page. so please stop following my edits to show up onto random articles you've never edited before, that i have been editing (such as ] and ]. if you continue, i'll consider it harassment and stalking. just leave me alone forever and stop following my contributions. thanks! Theserialcomma (talk) 09:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Replied at User talk:Theserialcomma. Grsz 17:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- One was a mistake, the other - other edits by that IP on that page were vandalism. This misleading diff doesnt show the vandalism that was there. Grsz 03:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
User_talk : EagleScout18
- FYI, He's removed what you've said, again. --DemocraplypseNow (talk) 03:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I saw, I'm not bothering with it anymore. If he wants to whine and cry like that, let him. He's indef blocked and never coming back, so whatever. Grsz 03:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- U go gurl !!! --DemocraplypseNow (talk) 03:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I saw, I'm not bothering with it anymore. If he wants to whine and cry like that, let him. He's indef blocked and never coming back, so whatever. Grsz 03:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- I gave it a week. I doubt he'll come back by them. To protect only him from editing, I would have to revise the block. He hasn't done enough to deserve an indefinite block without access to the talk page and I sure as hell don't want an expiring one week block on him. I'm still holding out some hope that he's actually going to reform. He seems to have been fine except for Obama-related articles. I'll still going to defer to User:Ryulong if I see him again and I doubt Ryulong is as open-minded as I am. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:31, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- Additionally, I posted a note at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Protection_of_User_talk:EagleScout18 -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:48, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for watching over my talkpage for me and dealing with people like the anon. He isn't a sockpuppet is he? --Tocino 03:19, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- Probably, or somebody logged out to hide. Grsz 03:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
DYK for Barry Tabobondung
On 9 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Barry Tabobondung, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Orlady 22:31, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Re: DYK
That kind of article sounds fine to me; could you give me a link to the article to look a little more closely? (Or is it an article you haven't written yet?) Anyway, my intuition is that it should be fine, but if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to leave me a message. Thanks, —Politizer /contribs 20:02, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- I think that looks perfect. It may not be explicitly Christmas-related, but it's holiday-related in general (albeit maybe specifically for American holidays), which is probably even better. —Politizer /contribs 20:07, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:KCAC.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KCAC.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:10, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, now if only you could tell me if I fixed it correcly, ImageTaggingBot. Grsz 01:12, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Re: Arena
Yeah, we probably shouldn't move the page until the official word comes down. The only bidder I had heard of was UPMC, but CONSOL (that'll be weird if its always all capitols) seems like they've been a team sponsor for a while so that cool. Rough calls tonight, I hope they come back with Curry and Godard tomorrow; I bet Fluery is getting healthier a little quicker now. Blackngold29 02:50, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- Probably just better to wait, although I'd be willing to bet that some random person comes along and moves it before the official announcement. Blackngold29 03:01, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
- It'll be interesting to see what the bloggers come up with for their recomended names. By the way did you see this? Blackngold29 03:06, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Haha, awesome goal. I started working on an overhaul of Mellon Arena, so hopefully I'll be able to stop by the library tomorrow to get a few more books to use for that. I look forward to seeing the info on the players, I have a few books with player bios so let me know if you need anything. I was thinking of doing the Cup winning season articles at some point too. Anyway, they looked good tonight eh? BIG game Saturday, and I'm gonna guess Fleury comes back next Thursday. I hate to see Curry go, but at least he got the experience. Sabourin is good, but he can't seem to start consecutive games too often. blackngold29 05:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Books re: Michael Z. Williamson
I quite honestly have never even seen the standards Wiki has in place for publication of articles when regarding books. I'll follow that link you sent me and read up a bit more when I have a lot more time.
I did not create the page about the Freehold book, only contributed. Quite frankly, if the book doesn't need its own page that's fine with me. It's the deletion of the author's biography article that has me quite perturbed. Cordova829 (talk) 01:49, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have found cite and press releases from 2004 mentioning that the author's book Freehold was nominated for the Prometheus Award. Link to press releases are at . Remember to scroll downwards to 2004. Included notability cites are available at and another book was reviewed here. Author also was a coauthor with author John Ringo, who is a New York Times best-selling author. He also has a featured short story in two Mercedes Lackey books and another one in an anthology from Baen, released last year.
- Also available from Baen Books is an interview he has done for BlackFive television .
- I'm fairly confident that the author meets the requirements as espoused by the Wiki guidelines.Cordova829 (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
