Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:35, 31 January 2012

SOPA

Hello. I am from the French Misplaced Pages. I am also calling for the resignation of people from the foundation after they decided that they should support the loss of our neutrality. If ever something is set up somewhere in order to secure that move, please let me know. Thierry Caro (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for contacting me. I wish you luck.

I didn't know about that fiasco they called a discussion about the blackout until it was closed. What a joke that was. Toddst1 (talk) 23:25, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

I also wasn't aware of the discussion until it was closed. However I do believe even an entity like Misplaced Pages has a right to self defence. Taroaldo (talk) 23:15, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Please explain

I was about to Get quite cross with you for calling me a meatpuppet, whatever that is, right out of the blue with no provocation on my part at all, until I noticed that you share my views about the disgraceful blackout, which has exploited the voluntary work of many thousands of volunteers like myself for political aims. I wouldn't have minded the blackout so much had the political aims not been so completely fat-headed.

If you please re-read my comment on the USP Networks entry, you will see that I'm just trying to explain why WPoel might have a legitimate reason for his entry, and doing no more than that. I know him, and worked occasionally for him, and he told me that there was a dispute over the entry so I went to have a look. Does that make me a 'meatpuppet'? It seems rather a harsh reaction and surely outside the guidelines you are given for relating to contributors to Misplaced Pages. AndrewRMClarke (talk) 22:20, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Wpoel has recruited a number of his buddies to help his cause which is clearly a violation of WP:meat. He's been blocked for that. I'm afraid that makes you one too. You seem like a borderline case so I am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. You need to stop editing on his behalf. See discussion on user talk:Wpoel.

Proposed deletion of VP-Info

I removed the prod from VP-Info after finding a detailed 3-page magazine review and a number of passing mentions which suggest it's historically significant. I think it would survive at Afd, however the article is a mess and needs a lot of cleanup. – Pnm (talk) 21:06, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Sounds good. Toddst1 (talk) 22:43, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Notice of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard

I did not know that there was any regulation of Userspace beyond "no copyright infringement". I shall not revert it, as I had/have no intention of non-adherence to any policies: thank you for letting me know that there are policies for userspace, and that my content violated them. St John Chrysostom /_my bias 17:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I'm confident that you have no intent to disrupt and this was just lack of knowledge which happens all the time here - even to an administrator like me. Toddst1 (talk) 16:42, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

VPN's Garage Deletion

VPN's Garage is a fansite about The Sims. Since Mod The Sims, Simprograms and other fansites are mentioned, in my opinion I think that the page about VPN's Garage should not be cancelled. Thanks.

Hey Todd, thanks...

...for your note. A new editor left me a message as well; we may see more activity in the article. Drmies (talk) 14:50, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Ann Blackman, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Hill and Scribner (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Tenzingnineoneone

Hi,
just to get a clear picture, was there anything that connected Tenzingnineoneone and Petermcelwee besides them both editing the same page, and that Ryhaan was tagged as a sock of Petermcelwee as well? I ask because Tenzingnineoneone seems to be back back as Tenamaxtle .
Thanks, Amalthea 14:01, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, there was the SPI. Toddst1 (talk) 16:13, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, what I wrote was confusing. Ryhaan is probably correctly marked as a sock. What I'm asking is: is there anything tying Tenzingnineoneone to Petermcelwee besides them both creating that same page? Amalthea 17:19, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I think that was one of those ducks. Toddst1 (talk) 17:23, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Amalthea 17:35, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

"Edit war"

Hi! As far as "edit war" is concerned, I am only reversing changes of Internet meme, because 9gag users are trying to force their website into this article at the moment. I have adressed this on the talk page, but nobody responded; most changes come from first time unregistered users anyway. I also have linked to a post on 9gag, where there is an appeal to the other users to write 9gag into this specific article by force. Personally, I'd suggest locking the article for unregistered users, but that's not up to me to decide. I just find it annoying when online communities try to turn an encyclopedia into their personal advertisement space. Regards Hardring (talk) 22:11, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I've semi-protected the article. However, you are still edit warring. Toddst1 (talk) 22:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for protecting the article. I am definitely not edit warring anymore, I don't know what you mean. Hardring (talk) 10:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your followup. Happy editing. Toddst1 (talk) 00:01, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello

Hi Toddst1, I thought I'd message you to let you know that a "new" user, "User:Xoramdin13", has edited the Iraqi Turkmens article today to exactly the same edit as User:Twafotfs (i.e.User:Ledenierhomme). It looks as though this user will continue to disrupte this article in the future. Is there any long-term solutions that we can implement in order to try and deter this behaviour? I have tried to get the article protected on numerous occasions however it was always rejected.Turco85 (Talk) 23:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Banhammered and article semi-ed. Toddst1 (talk) 02:48, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you

I thank you very much for your help in this issue. But I have to blame myself too for making such rude comments. I apologize also. And I have apologized to Denniss for making rude comments with a cupcake of apology. But thanks again, I hope this issue was suppressed. TsarSrbinu29 (talk) 19:13, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Help

As you are totally uninvolved and active admin would you please review this section i cannot take this anymore. There is an SPI and previous ANI as well. This needs sorted whether I'm correct or in the wrong, Edinburgh Wanderer 23:47, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Wow. There's a lot there. I'm not sure I have enough time to sort through all of that right now but let me take a look... Toddst1 (talk) 00:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks he has been blocked for 36 hours anyway hopefully won't need another if the SPI is dealt with when reviewed.Edinburgh Wanderer 00:25, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

My apologies

I am very upset with your behavior at ANI and that hasn't changed, but I didn't need to let my anger with you cause me to insult you by stating you don't have sense.--Amadscientist (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

You are an honorable editor and worthy of kinder treatment than I have displayed. Please accept my apologies as well. Toddst1 (talk) 06:32, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate the gesture. Thank you.--Amadscientist (talk) 06:46, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you both. The beer's on me (it's not real anyway--it's just a photograph..). Drmies (talk) 15:52, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

John Flügel

This article is not tagged for deletion? I see no reason why it should be. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk)

I agree. See the article's history. Toddst1 (talk) 20:47, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok. I really not sure that slapping RfD tags on all the stubs will slow down that editor, who seems in perfectly good faith, but just a little too hasty. Perhaps negotiation might be more productive, for everyone concerned? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:01, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the CSD was a mistake on my part. Toddst1 (talk) 21:03, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

You might wish to try and encourage that editor to slow down a but. But perhaps at least an explanation and/or an apology on their Talk Page might be in order? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:13, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Whoops - forgot about the notice. Toddst1 (talk) 21:15, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Great work on that Anti-Pakistan sentiment edit war. Shriram (talk) 18:00, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Help with this page

I was patrolling the new pages log and found this page, Testing for safety. What would you suggest with this article? It's not wikified and wouldn't seem exactly encyclopedia material. SwisterTwister talk 20:20, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

It seems to have been addressed. Toddst1 (talk) 20:26, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
