Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:10, 9 November 2011

Got questions? post any new questions by starting a new section below. Before posting, understand the following: If it isn't cited, it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia; don't even bother arguing it with me. I am a a follower of Conan the Grammarian: if it's bad writing, I am going to correct it or kill it. I am polite and appreciate politeness in turn. If you act like an ass-hat, I'll ignore you, report you, or simply point and laugh. If I have asked you to not post on my usertalk page, please respect that request and don't do it. If you do anyway, I'll simply delete it and seek your block. I like butterscotch; oddly enough, I also like butter and scotch. Funny how that worked out. In any case, I don't know how that matters here, but I'm just throwing that out there, in case anyone wants to send me some.

Jason Todd

To whom it may concern: You repeatly said that in Teen Titans there was no mention of Jason Todd,I checked and took a photo and there it was I was right as I said when Beast Boy was figuring out the identity of Red X he pulls a chart there are many robins and even Nightwing and if you look closely there it is the name of JASON TODD. So the question remains how can I send the photo proving in what was saying?

Please contact me as soon as you can.

Thank you

Characters in A Song of Ice and Fire

Please explain this? Yoenit (talk) 19:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I suggest that you read chapter 61 and 73 of A Storm of Swords. If you don't have it on hand, you could also try this summary. Yoenit (talk) 19:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Your revert on Doctor Who

Hi there. First of all, please notice that you reverted my revert. Per WP:BRD, you should have taken in to the talk page instead. Then: Sources do not have to be accessible for anyone, it's sufficient that people can access them. Whether it's hard to do so or not is irrelevant (otherwise, we couldn't use specialty books or old magazines or similar sources). See Misplaced Pages:Verifiability#Access to sources. The work of fiction itself is a primary source to verify its plot but per WP:PRIMARY, such sources are fine for details that anyone with access to the work can easily verify for themselves, such as the Cushing Doctor being human. As such, a "citation needed" tag is not required on this detail. Please undo your edit and, if you think there is reason to ignore the policies and guidelines I just mentioned, make your case on the talk page first. Regards SoWhy 21:04, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

You are dancing around the main issue, SoWhy, which is unfortunate, because the problem contains the solution. If any information is challenged in an article, it must be cited or removed. There is no source for it, and trusting some person who claims it is in there is like playing Keno - this statement about Dr. Who being described as a human requires citation, not just primary observation by a contributor.

Secondly, note that before you suggest I improperly followed, BRD, you could just as easily have followed it as well, going to the talk page to hash it out before reverting it. I completely understand that anions are often like drive-by Alzheimers patients, making an edit and forgetting about it immediately after having made it, but I think that in this case, the call for citation was a good one.

Lastly, I apologize if you misunderstood my edit summary, which in retrospect was written poorly. It is my feeling that challenged information must be cited, as the regular user might read it and take it as either gospel truth or as ultimate proof that we at Misplaced Pages are opining fascists, pushing our personal views. With citation, it isn't us saying it, it is the cited reference. And yes, I know it is a plot point in another article. We do not cite other wiki articles, and playing the plot allowance card is the slipperiest of slopes into uncited articles making their into being. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

James Bond (character)

Hi, Just so we can avoid an edit war on the James Bond (character) page regarding the Lee Tamahori thoughts on Bond, I've started a section on the discussion page for you and Gokarosama to talk it over. I've added the relevant part of the niterview, which may help. Thanks - Schrodinger's cat is alive (talk) 14:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that; I meant to do so after suggesting such in my edit summary but was distracted. :) - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:59, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Emphasis

I will highlight this for both of you: edit-warring is not permitted, and even a single edit can be construed as an edit-war - you don't need to meet the magic WP:3RR to be blocked. Multiple reversions are not appropriate, even if you think you're 100% right in the matter. We work on WP:CONSENSUS, period. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC) Agreed. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 13:48, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Season vs. series

L-2 response

If you are talking about L-2 of The Light (Project Cadmus' Board of Directors, we don't have official proof of the identities of it's members yet. When they do show up in person, we'll know for sure. Rtkat3 (talk) 12:16, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

ANI comment removal

Any particluar reason why you removed my linking in of the DRN archive of the previous go-around in realtion to the Haven TV series? Hasteur (talk) 19:38, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:WW MsMag.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:WW MsMag.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) 20:06, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Got it, 'bot. Done and done. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:12, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Look in a mirror

I would like you to take a moment and look at your posts to me. Try to do so without blaming me for how you have been acting. You need to take a step back and relax, as all of your posts have been snarky and littered with personal attacks. This doesn't promote collaborative editing; instead it creates unnecessary personality conflict. I deserve to be treated in the same way you would wish to. Please be more civil. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 06:05, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Please don't put any more of this crap on my talk page. Barsoomian (talk) 12:57, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

It was that or template you prior to reporting you for civility violations. I guess some people only learn with the stick. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:34, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

False accusation

WTF are you talking about claiming that that I "delete others' conversations"? I didn't delete one word. (Since the page was 5 bytes longer, maybe I added a few spaces or lines.) I refactored the page, ordering it chronologically, exactly as is allowed for in WP:REFACTOR.

Now you have undone my edit and archived the page for no reason other than to make it difficult to revert. How clever you must think you are.

Following me around, reverting my correct edits with such false accusations is unacceptable behaviour. It's also pretty pathetic. Barsoomian (talk) 02:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Respond here on your actions or I will find another venue. Barsoomian (talk) 03:10, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
