Regarding your comment on ask123's ask123 (talk) talk page

Perhaps if you correctly interpreted what I wrote on the Bobby Jindal talk page, you would have realized that I am saying that it is, in my opinion, OKAY for you to edit the article so long as you provide credible sources and abide by other Misplaced Pages policies. So far, you have, and, thus, I see NO problem with your edits. Perhaps if you were less aggressive, you would be more popular and, ultimately, successful in your ventures. ask123 (talk) 01:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you did say that IF I post in a manner consistant with Misplaced Pages policy that I should be able to continue to edit the article. Of course, everyone has to follow the rules and guidelines of editing pages on wikipedia so restating that seems to be a little redundant. However, the tone of your post, including "One thing to point out is that his interests are clearly not with providing any useful information on Bobby Jindal." and "But, be advised, Mr. Zimmerman, you may not turn this article into a negative campaign ad or use any part of this article to that end.", is what prompted me to leave a message on your talk page. I see no aggression in my post to you. Just a suggestion and a request. DanielZimmerman (talk) 13:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I have responded to your comment on my talk page. Cheers, ₪ ask123 {t} 19:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

RPP Bobby Jindal

Oh sorry, I missed that thread. Hope I didn't seem too rude for not replying! It's twice I've done that this week. Pages are only protected in rare cases, and when the page is receiving uncontrollably heavy amounts of vandalism. The page isn't receiving heavy bouts of vandalism, and the vandalism is being reverted quickly, so protection isn't an option at the moment. Two instances of vandalism since the last request isn't justification. Hope this helps. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 13:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright, you've won me over. :) I've changed my mind and protected it for a week. That'll give the article some breathing space. It got me thinking that many admins would protect a page with less disruption and maybe I'm too lenient at times (it's not been the first time). Sorry for the hassle!

ID

If you are going to mention ID, you need to mention what it is, ie what the scientific community defines it as well as the way courts see it regarding public schools. You have reverted every single change that ANY user other than yourself has made to the page. Paper45tee (talk) 18:16, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Wrong. I don't have to define what ID is. All you have to do is provide a wikilink to ID where ID is already defined. I have reverted every single change so far made by every other user for the reasons listed on the Bobby Jindal page. And while we are supposed to "be bold" on Misplaced Pages, we are also supposed to form a consensus.

Furthermore, your edits on the wikipedia page for Jindal serve less to inform people about what ID is and more to bash Jindal for his support of it. And while I agree with you that ID is not science and belongs nowhere near the science classroom I will repeat that wikipedia is not a soapbox. DanielZimmerman (talk) 05:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron

I noticed that you are part of Category:Wikipedians against notability.

I would like to invite you to join the Article Rescue Squadron. Although Rescue Squadron members do not share any official position on notability, and are simply focused on rescuing articles for deletion, you may find our project matches your vision of Misplaced Pages.

Caveat: I am writing this as an individual, not as a representative of Article Rescue Squadron. Ikip (talk) 19:58, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Nonot.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:Nonot.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Misplaced Pages (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on ] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
