Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 16:39, 24 January 2006

• WP:WQA

Wikiquette alerts are an option for a quick, streamlined way to get an outside view.

Procedure

At the bottom of the list, just post:

• A single link to the problem or issue as you see it (for example, a single posting or section of a talk page).
• Label the comment neutrally but do not sign and do not use names (type ~~~~~, which gives only a timestamp).
• Please avoid embarking on a discussion of the points raised on this page. Carry on discussing it wherever you originally were — editors responding to posts here will come to you!

If you would like to get an outside view on your own behaviour, please post it here too.

Outsiders who visit the link are encouraged to make a constructive comment about any Wikiquette breaches they see. Postings should be removed after seven days.

Archived alerts

• Archive 1: June 2005 - September 2005
• Archive 2: October 2005 - December 2005

• Dispute over whether the name of the article about the 1968 film directed by Lindsay Anderson should be If... or If...., that is, with a three or four dot ellipsis. The editors agree that a four dot ellipsis is part of the film name; the dispute is over the Misplaced Pages guideline for the article name. Please see the discussion at Talk:If... (film). 00:09, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

• One regular user and one administrator have vandalized a series of nomination for deletion pages. They have written very questionable notices and warnings on the very top of each one and these things have skewed the voting process. Serious action needs to be taken to ensure the voting process can be helped.

• • See Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Jason_Gastrich ... Jason Gastrich is the one violating Wikiquette, not I. --Cyde Weys 06:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Rude comments and personal attacks from User:Fyslee and others against User:Levine2112 on Fyslee's discussion page. 03:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Anonymous IP editor User:62.0.181.94 at Talk:Jack Abramoff insists upon making uncivil and insulting suggestions of antisemitism. Editor has indicated by their edits that they are the same person as User:85.250.166.7.
  • Has engaged in WP:POINT in the past.
  • Has indicated that their intention is "to stir up trouble".
  • Has engaged in taunting via baseless accusations on Talk pages.
  • Has continually accused me of making edits which were made by other users, together with personal attacks.
  • Has removed clarifications from talk pages to continue to falsely accuse me personally of making edits which were made by other users.
  • Has engaged in legal threats by talking about writing a letter to "Jimmy and the WIK board" (sorry, can't find the diff on this right now).
  • Has engaged in personal attacks by implying that another editor is a "Jewish SELF HATER"
  • Has shown disdain for Misplaced Pages civility policy after it was explained.
  • Is refactoring other editors Talk: comments in a manner which is dismissive and abrasive (The other editor has a "comment", this editor has the "answer".)
  • This has previously been reported to WP:AIV and was rejected as "not vandalism per se". Kwh 16:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm stepping away from this one for a while until someone else cares to do something about it. I think this editor has made an adequate case against themselves. -Kwh 18:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

User:Piedras grandes

Made Template:Good, Template:Bad and Template:Small, duplicating functions of WP:GA, Template:Cleanup, and Template:stub. Also adds cleanup templates to random articles. --08:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

• Repeated personal attacks made by User:DreamGuy. I have attempted to address this with him on his talk page, but he just keeps deleting my comments off the page. Four varying attempts have been made to communicate with him, without success. Links to the appropriate history pages are here: First attempt, 2nd attempt, 3rd attempt, 4th attempt. Please advise on the next steps that I should follow to address this matter. Elonka 11:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

(Update: 5th attempt) Elonka 11:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Would somebody please inform this person that posting harassing comments and false accusations over and over and over again on someone's talk page after they made it clear that she is not welcome there is a major violation of several policies? I responded to her comments on her talk page, pointed out her mistakes. She made long, ranting more accusations. I told her to stop posting on my talk page, and she fails to listen. She is under the misbelief that she is allowed to bug me when I have no interest in doing anything but ignoring her. She doesn't understand several policies and interprets me pointing them out to her and following them as an "attack". The only one doing any attacking here now is her, against me, and this "alert" is just the latest bit of misunderstanding of policies and petty harassment. DreamGuy 12:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I have strongly advised Elonka, now on her "7th attempt", to stop posting on Dreamguy's page. Elonka, your options are to either forget the whole thing — as far as I understand, though I have not indeed reviewed the AfD case, it's all in the past — or open an WP:RFC or

• Rumor Vandalism

User:24.42.120.3 keeps on putting in false rumors in the article Anna Vissi about a bottle being stuck up the singers anus. I keep on taking it out, but he keeps non puting it back in. I have talked to him on the Talk:Anna Vissi page, but he insists that I am vandalising the article by taking out the false rumor. Someone please help me.
