Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Misplaced Pages articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Titania was changed by Alarbus (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.899497 on 2011-11-01T09:41:00+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 09:41, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

That wasn't vandalism. I'm putting it back. Alarbus (talk) 09:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Warning

Re: Another approach would be to assign FA status outside their process. – such behavior will not be tolerated. Consider yourself warned. Raul654 (talk) 20:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Your empire does seem an intolerant bunch. Try assuming good faith. I consider myself amused. Alarbus (talk) 04:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm no fan of the current FAC process, as you can tell from my !votes in the RfC. However, despite all its shortcomings, it is the official way to check articles meet the FA standards, and so, I would have thought, bypassing it isn't a great idea; all that will happen is that those involved would get a ban, or an arbitration case against them, or whatever. Given the FAC editors' opinions as set out at the RfC, they wouldn't hesitate to do it, either. On the other hand, there have been suggestions on the talk page that when the RfC is closed (and goodness knows we can see how that result is going to be), suggestions are going to be posted as to how to improve it. Therefore, might I make a suggestion? Wait until those suggestions are published. If those who find the current process dictatorial and in need of an overhaul find these to be useful, great. If it turns out they're superficial changes with no real substance, instead of trying to bypass the process, poll around the WikiProjects and see if there would be support for a boycott. If one had support and were begun, FAC would dry up and there wouldn't be anything for the FA crowd to process. In that event, either they'd realise the need for a change and enact one, or the process would die off and could then be restarted on more democratic grounds. Thoughts?

Thank you

Hi Alarbus, thank you for you help on the Pope John Paul II article.

The references can sometimes get a little tricky. ;-) -- Marek.69 04:25, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I'll keep an eye on things and help as I can. Best wishes, Alarbus (talk) 04:45, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

DRV

A notification that the Templates for Discussion discussion (oy, repetition) has been taken to a deletion review discussion. The Article Rescue Squadron was notified, and as notifications to previous involved parties isn't normal practise, I and a few ARS members agreed that, in the interests of transparency and fairness, we should let everyone know...hence this talkpage message ;).

If anyone has an issue with me sending these out, do drop me a note on my talkpage. Regards, Ironholds (talk) 10:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

SandyGeorgia

SandyGeorgia appeared out of nowhere on that move request, and she is also attacking me somewhere else, I don't know. She is clearly following my edits. It's kind of scary, you know? Do you believe she is capable of taking a flight to Brazil and try to kill me? I hope not. For some reason she thought that Maryana's comment about my disgust about this place had somekind of connection to the FAC mess. The woman is so confused that she hasn't noticed so far that, except for my comments here, I'm taking no part on the FAC civil war. But this is what? The third moment she appears out of nowhere to criticize me? The second one she has threatened to open a RfC about me? She needs help. I wonder if she has a family, boyfriend, or even a dog. Anything. Or does she live the entire day here? Urgh.. scary.

Still, it's the third moment she joins the wrong group. That moment, on Joao VI's talke page, she took the side of the xenophobic bunch. This time, she is taking the side of the guys who create sock puppets, are blocked, canvass editors, erase other people's messages, etc... She should at least try to understand the issue first before doing this mistake again. We should buy her a puppy nonetheless. Anything to keep her busy on real life. --Lecen (talk) 19:16, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Nevermind. It would be a bad idea. She would end up eating the poor puppy in a fit of rage. I wonder if she has noticed that, although I don't talk to her, she has been wikihounding me, harassing me, and defaming me for weeks? She is clearly try to ruin my reputation here, as well as trying to have me blocked. But damn, it won't look good to her in the end. Even less when I know that a highly respected FA writer is thinking on opening a RfC about her. And no, I'm not talking about Wehwalt. She made so many enemies that she hasn't realised so far how deeply in trouble she is. --Lecen (talk) 19:36, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
