Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:40, 4 October 2013

GSK is suffering from physical health issues. This may affect his ability to work on Misplaced Pages. Consequently, he may not be able to respond to talk-page messages or e-mails in a timely manner. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Please remember to be civil, don't make threats (legal or otherwise), and no personal attacks. Always assume good faith. If you violate any of these conditions, you will be reported to the administrators' noticeboard or reported to AIV, if your edits constitute vandalism.

It is 10:45 AM where I live.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on User talk:Redd Foxx 1991. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 09:52, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Okay. The behavior of this user came to my attention when he removed a cleanup template I had added to an article. He made no attempt to address the concern, nor did he leave a message explaining why he removed the template. I went back and checked his prior edits and found he had repeatedly behaved in this manner despite multiple previous warnings. I wanted to discuss it with him, but his talk page clearly showed that he never responds to messages. Hence I instead posted a limited audit trail of level 3 warnings for future reference, which you have now removed. Now I would appreciate if you could tell me how I did not assume good faith here? In what sense was his behavior good? Praemonitus (talk) 23:47, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

You should have really posted one warning for the last relevant edit he made, not a flood of five or six level three warnings. As for not assuming good faith, I didn't say nor imply his behavior was good, because it wasn't. That doesn't mean you need to repeat his behavior. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 00:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

If your concern was simply the number, then I shall just replace them with a single merged message. Thanks for the clarification. Praemonitus (talk) 01:35, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

To continue, how would you recommend I handle this edit today? Or this? Or this? Thank you. Praemonitus (talk) 01:46, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I'd recommend issuing a level four warning for those three, and if the user does it again, report to AIV. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 02:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: CarTube

Hello GSK. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of CarTube, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not blatantly vandalism or a hoax. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 01:13, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool update

Hey GSK. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:59, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

About the Nintendo 1DS page

Hello GSK, its my first time being a member on Misplaced Pages anyway, the page about the Nintendo 1DS is a hoax made from a fan, it can be founded at the bottom of the page showing a disclaimer. Should it be deleted or moved to a related category? HDose (talk) 00:38, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

The article has already been marked for deletion, and now we wait for an administrator to approve or decline it. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 00:40, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

He's allowed to remove other people's message from his own talk page per WP:BLANKING, although he can't use that to claim he didn't get those messages as they will be presumed read. By extension organizing his page that way is within his rights, although you might want to gently explain that per WP:OWN he shouldn't call them his. Daniel Case (talk) 04:10, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Harassment

I feel like you are hounding me and my user space which are considered bannable offences. If it continues, I will request a block — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarchistdy (talk • contribs) 21:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

I offered a truce. If you want to ignore that, feel free, but it will not reflect well on you. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 21:40, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
