Three revert rule

Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. Thank you. -- Rhobite 22:08, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Protest Warrior

Thanks for your message. Your help is appreciated. I am watching the article now, and Iwill revert vandalism as I see it. It would certainly be better for everyone though if the vandals would just knock it off. --Canderson7 01:26, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm now watching Kfir Alfia as well. I reccomend contacting Grazon on his talk page regarding the edits that you believe to be biased. --Canderson7 01:26, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism/non-NPOV

Please refrain from the blatant non-NPOV edits such as your recent "work" on Lew Rockwell:

"The site also hosts screeds against the United States' participation in the Second World War, hopeful if unrealistic speculations about an end of the United States as a cohesive nation, and accusations of fascism on the part of the free world."(Emphasis added)

How do you justify using these obviously inflammatory terms? I am removing them. Dick Clark 14:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

You still have not responded to my above accusations. How do you justify obvious vandalism on a project that you claim to be supporting? Respond please. Dick Clark 15:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. I've posted your response below for clarity's sake. Dick Clark 17:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I justify my edits on the following: Inflammatory does not equal non-neutral, as it is an entirely subjective description. If the truth offends, then there is obviously some bias on the part of the one who is offended; and in this case, the truth is that Lew Rockwell is an ideologue who's willing to allow lies about the American/Japanese situation in World War 2 and the matter of the American Civil War to be posted on his website in order to justify his views about it, rather than conforming his views to the facts. Now for your specific objections:

"'The site also hosts screeds against the United States' participation in the Second World War, hopeful if unrealistic speculations about an end of the United States as a cohesive nation, and accusations of fascism on the part of the free world.'(Emphasis added)"

The word "screed" is in no way inflammatory by itself; it is an accurate description of the articles in question. Further, the article I posted on the future breakup of the United States is wildly unrealistic; for starters, even presuming that a breakup did come to pass, there is no way that the states would break up along the lines specified; economic, political, and logistical realities dictate that this is so simply because of the nature of the commercial relationships between several of the states depicted as joining separate factions. California, for instance, would not only never join with decidedly more conservative Arizona and New Mexico; it would experience massive loss of electrical service as energy from Oregon and Nevada is cut off. Secondly, no rational person could expect that to happen any time in the near future; I could have justifiably called it a pipe dream, because that's what it is. As for "free world," it's a common description for the West and liberal democracies in general; I have absolutely no idea how you consider it inappropriate. Rogue 9 16:16, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

To respond to the following: "I justify my edits on the following: Inflammatory does not equal non-neutral, as it is an entirely subjective description. If the truth offends, then there is obviously some bias on the part of the one who is offended" Your first sentence is true. Your second sentence is true. What is not clear, however, is that your "truth" corresponds with "the truth." You claim that Rockwell posts, or allows posted, "lies." Why don't you substantiate this claim? There are plenty of scholarly endeavors underway to debunk claims on both sides of the historical arguments about the War Between the States, and also about World War II. Modifiying an article to reflect your own personal disbelief in a particular stance is neither scholarly, nor (more importantly for Misplaced Pages) neutral in its point of view. If Lew Rockwell promoted belief in Rael's explanation of the world, you would still be acting in bad faith by openly dismissing the belief, in the "encyclopedia's" voice (as opposed to in the voice of a source author). I might also add that you are committing this wrong in a rather inelegant way. As for your claim that, "The word "screed" is in no way inflammatory by itself; it is an accurate description of the articles in question," that is clearly a subjective valuation. "Screed" is defined as "A long monotonous speech or piece of writing." To call something monotonous is to color a description with your own, necessarily subjective view of a particular piece of writing. I have a hard time believing that you really want to defend your use of this word as somehow NPOV. Your own evaluation of the ideas presented on Lew Rockwell's website, be it professional or amateur, is not germane to the wikipedia article about him. If you were a notable source, then we might arrive at a different conclusion, assuming, of course, that you did not attempt to co-opt the requisite neutrality of the encyclopedic voice in the article by injecting your own opinion into the body of the article, rather than as a cited outside source. I believe that the term pertinent to this violation is "original research." As for "free world," it is a loaded term, and, given that we are talking about someone (Rockwell) whose article largely deals with how he defines "free," the equivocation could be problematic. Please abstain from such POV vandalism in the future. Dick Clark 17:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Cry your eyes out to the admins and then immediately turn around and start calling people brownshirts. How am I supposed to react to that? Rogue 9 15:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Your reaction seemed appropriate in that you had a point that you wanted to make, which is fine IMO except for except for the one little bit I factored out. If the anon had done similarly I would have factored that out as well. They may have somewhere else for all I know, I only looked at the above link. They may have implied that anyone who disagreed with them was a brownshirt, but no one can actually call another user a little Nazi anything without consequences. WP:NPA is clear on this and is a non-negotiable policy. It is part of my job to gently remind users of that. I'm glad you people are discussing things, Rhobite has been around a long time and knows the ropes well enough to provide valuable advice. I don't think you are the bad guy in this and I didn't and won't pass judgment on the actual content of your argument. Regards, --Fire Star 22:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I understand why you had to take the action you did. I personally disagree that the rule should be absolute, but I don't get to make that decision. I simply object to Grazon's using Misplaced Pages as a platform to smear his political opponents and then having the gall to complain when called on it, even if he was called forcefully - which anyone who belittles the threat that the Nazis were by comparing lesser "offenses" to Nazism should be, in my opinion. All the best, Rogue 9 22:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I wish you the best of luck. Stay calm and the **** should bounce back onto the sender. If you ever think I can be of assistance, let me know. Cheers. --Fire Star 22:59, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Ripped-up sign

Re: The ripped up sign in my J20 photo set, you're right - it is a remnant from the scuffle. At the time of writing for that photo set, I had not yet learned of that incident (I would learn of it a few weeks later). It seems an update is in order...

BTW, I put up my J20 photo set as quickly as possible after the event in order to make up for having a two-month turnaround on my Million Worker March photo set. As a result, a few things didn't make it by the time I released it, and the scuffle was one of them. Another thing I didn't learn of before the photo set was released was the photo of me on carolmoore.net. I was just tickled to find that.

Again, thanks for pointing that out. As I mentioned, an update is definitely in order.

Also, to satisfy my own curiosity, were you in DC on J20 as well? SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:23, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

That works!

That works for me re: the photos. I guess it's the same kind of amused I get when I find a photo of myself at the protest on someone else's Web site. SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:57, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for going through that bunch of 40K articles and tidying up my spelling a bit. I really appreciate the effort you've put in to clean up after my screwups. Saberwyn 01:55, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

quick note

Hi Rogue -- thank you for you help on the FIRE article. Just a quick note: I am trying to keep discussion on the talk page focused on the mechanics of the article, and hoping that we can avoid more general discussion — just because it can be an explosive subject for people and I think it would be best if we could sort of "cover up" differences of opinion between editors to arrive at a neutral and balanced article. So can I ask that if you get a response to your comments about media bias etc. that you maybe follow up on the user's talk page or perhaps let them slide? Of course you are free to do what you want! Yours, Sdedeo 04:38, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

No doubt that LTC position on FIRE is strongly influenced by his/her involvement in SAFER. I generally feel that "covering over" differences of opinion is an important thing (it slows the generation of ill-will) — but of course I certaintly don't mean that there should be no disagreement! Only that disagreements should be confined to the question of what to put in the article. Nobody has ever been convinced to change a deeply held political position based on a wikipedia talk page! All the best, Sdedeo 05:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, right now I am hoping that the amount of coverage on the particular Columbia case will stay fixed and not grow. As I've learned from working on the Brainwashing 101 article, campus controversies burn like gasoline, often over very very little of actual substance. Sdedeo 05:26, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Lion El'Jonson

Where did you get this information from? I'm curious. As far as I know, the official version of El'Jonson's fate parralels that of King Arthur; according to Luther, at the point of death he was taken away by the creatures known as the Watchers in the Dark to be healed, and will be returned for the 'final battle'.

The one at residing in the deepest prison cell in the Rock is actually Luther, waiting for El'Jonson to return and forgive him for his sins.

At least, that's the version I know of. The info about El'Jonson's fate is in the Index Astartes articles, but I'm not entirely sure about where the Luther info came from. I think that's what your source is talking about, but he got his wires crossed. Saberwyn 21:52, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

• I really need to get my hands on this book, just so I can see what all the fuss is about. The impression I get from what articles and books I've read is that he's been taken away, and as such is classified as Missing In Action as far as the Dark Angels Chapter is concerned. If you're 100% sure that's what the book says, I'm not going to stop you rewriting the article, but for the sake of all the Dark Angels players out there who have denounced the novel as heresy and non-canonical, be sure when you do. Saberwyn 02:37, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

El'Jonson was always going to return. I think it's just the way that the book handles a few of the issues regarding the Chapter in a very poor fashion, and others come out far more negative than previous fiction/history had portrayed. On the issue, my judgements out until I get my hands on the novel, and because I live in Australia, and it's almost impossible to get the books out here, that will be a long time. As I said before, if you're sure, write the article to say so. But I'm not touching this in any way until I'm sure. Saberwyn 09:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Comments on John Seigenthaler Sr.

I just happened to spot you comments on the John Seigenthaler Sr. debate. It seems that you are picking up on the smell of hipocracy that comes from the "leadership and adminstration", such as the "policy changes" as reported by the AP nearly two days ago that have yet to come into effect. It is a shame, or is it a sham, that this place calls it self an Encylopedia, as the title give off an air of crediablilty that is underserved, it even scarrier that this site hit high on many google searches. What get me is that lack of concern that this incident seems to be generating by the poweres that be, considering that Seigenthaler has every reason to put up a good lible or defimation of character suite aginst the foundation, that could easly put this out of service. Its also really sorry how people make this open-source/free speach argument as well. Would not be supprised to see more of these types of issues coming up in the future. Just figure i chime in with my comments. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 08:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar

Hi, just a note to say thanks for the Barnstar. --Muchness 04:01, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

No problem. You deserve it; without your efforts there, the article would honestly probably have remained a stub for a long time. My Forgotten Realms books are at home while I'm away at school. Rogue 9 04:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I saw your paladin user box in the sandbox (the edit came up in Lupin's vandal filter, actually), and thought it was hysterical. Just wanted to say kudos. -Lanoitarus .:. 07:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

SAFER and FIRE

Hi Rogue -- I really don't have a strong opinion either way on including the SAFER blog reference (I tend to have a wide range of leeway in either direction.) I certaintly won't dispute your removal of it. As for the "SysOp" name, if it bothers you, bring it up to the administrators. Yours, Sdedeo 00:04, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Source for TIEvsPeregrin.jpg?

I just noticed you adding Image:TIEvsPeregrin.jpg to the Star Trek vs. Star Wars article, and it's very nice, but where is it from? Images uploaded under the claim of fair use should be documented as extensively as possible, including a source and an explanation for why it's fair use. The days of when a claim of fair use was a "get out of copyright free" pass are fading on Misplaced Pages so it's best to provide those things sooner rather than later. :) Bryan 05:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Source for Trekwars.jpg

Hi. Contrary to what you say at Image:Trekwars.jpg, the image was listed at WP:CP since November 26, as I listed it there (see ). I also tagged the image accordingly, six days after asking the original uploader, Gin and Tonic, for clarification as to why he/she had labeled it "Copyrighted, but free to use for any purpose" when it was seemingly lifted directly from (see my question at User talk:Gin and Tonic), with no response. I'd ask you the same question as user Bryan above: how is it fair use? --Arteitle 21:14, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Capitalist Userbox

I saw your Category:Capitalist Wikipedians and thought the logo there was a bit too huge, otherwise it could be used as a good userbox. I left a short message on the category talk, so check it out. Also, I am sorta opposed to the "It is opposed to Communism because it removes property rights and has killed 100 million people over the course of the 20th century." part because, for me at least, I support capitalism not because communism is wrong, but because capitalism is right. That is, even if communism had never existed, I'd still be a capitalist pig-dog. Cheers. -- Миборовский 19:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

You've probably realised by now but if not, answers.com copies stuff from Misplaced Pages, fully legally and identified as from Misplaced Pages. So if you see stuff there that is the same here, it's probably because they copied it from us... Nil Einne 15:06, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Imperial Star destroyer

How can a Imperial Star Destroyer which has maximum acceleration speed of 2300g able to catch up to Millennium Falcon which has an acceleration 3000g? Shouldn't Han Solo use the 3000g speed to outrun the star destroyers? so the only explanation is that Imperial Star destroyer uses tractor beam in order to keep up the Falcon.

You're forgetting relative velocities and the Falcons maneuvering. --maru (talk) Contribs 02:51, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Looking to join up

Hi,

Well, the best thing is for you to visit the Project's homepage and discuss/add content. I see you already are in the contributor entry Reply to David Latapie 09:59, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Please withdraw the personal attack you made on me

You called me "authoritarian" on categories for deletion. This is a clear cut breach of Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks. It is also doubly innaccurate: one's views on the proper use of the categorisation system having nothing to do with authoritarianism, and I am a passionate supporter of democracy, far more passionate than the vast majority of people. Please withdraw the personal attack on the page where you made it. CalJW 11:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

This user responded with more and worse abuse on my talk page. CalJW 18:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

If you're going to write on my talk page, kindly address me, not some absent third party. What I put on your talk page was not abuse by any stretch of the imagination. Rogue 9 19:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello!

I just wanted to say hi, that I liked your "I found more userboxes to use" comment, and that I'd like to suggest one more: {{userbox:wiki-nazi-0}} (I'm not exactly sure why that's not working... It works on my userpage. *shrug*)

archiving

I noticed you posted a comment about archiving the userboxes to prevent against future rogue admins. Did you know this already exists? Misplaced Pages:Userboxes/Archive1 - by the way, this page is huge and could crash your browser.--God of War 00:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Heh. There's not much that's going to crash this baby. I'll give it a shot. But as long as the page is on Misplaced Pages, it's within the reach of the admins. Rogue 9 01:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:UNacceptable.gif

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:UNacceptable.gif. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairusein|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Nick Boalch 11:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Great, thanks. I've changed the tag on the image to {{no license}} instead of {{no source}}; can you please retag it appropriately when you hear back from the copyright holder? --Nick Boalch 11:24, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Sarcastic comments

Please don't add sarcastic comments such as "The copyright status is obvious. Would it kill you to put in the right tag?" when re-uploading deleted images. As far as I'm concerned the copyright status was far from obvious without a tag. It could have been a screenshot. It could have been an image from a book. It could have been a computer-generated image that someone had created and copyrighted. Adding sarcastic comments only winds people up. Regards, CLW 13:02, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

If you actually knew anything you'd know his name. this blueprints have been around for 27 years. if you choose not to ask him and go with the incorrect info I'll know youre insincere. inside the worlds of star wars is wrong, books are not 100% acurate all the time. remember that.

Btw if you look up keeper of the holocron and executor class star destroyer you'll find that the site has that title exactly. There is no star dreadnaught, actually leeland chan has a spelling correction page that says Dreadnaught is with an A not an O. there is no star dreadnaught confirmation on that site at all. the article is wrong and can be proven wrong very easily. the only Dreadnought with an O is in star trek with the three nacelled federation ship USS Star Empire from the novels. (70.16.226.247 12:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC))

Actually here ya go heres the Executor class page

And the Dreadnaught spelling page from Leeland Chan.

Sorry Rogue 9 for stealing your talk page but it dose not mater if Geoffrey Mandel made the name up, Incredible Cross-Sections guide for Revenge of the Sith clearly states that the name was originally Imperator and changed later to imperial. If it was originally a fan creation all it means is that it now part of canon. It dose not matter where things start but were they end. --Elfwood 13:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Let me know

I'm still pissed over the out-of-process speedy deletion of "User no Rand" by our favorite userbox deletionist. This userbox jihad has to be put to an end. Let me know when you've finished marking up the paperwork, I'm more then happy to sign my name affirming the violations you outlined. We may be on different sides of the protest line, but it's great that we can agree on freedom of speech. --Dragon695 05:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I was referring to the Tony Sidaway RfC I saw you mention on God of War's talk page. Sorry to be so vague about it, but I didn't know if you wanted it kept mum while you were still gathering evidence. With respect to the anti-Rand box, the only attempt I made to reason with Tony was on DRV, but got little if no substantive response from him. All I heard was "attack box", "attack box", "attack box" from all the clones. Nobody actually bothered to address the fact that it was speedied out of process. Also, perhaps you're in a better position to judge, but is randroid really that serious of a pejoritive? I mean I thought it was all in good fun, like when some people call me a moonbat. I guess there are some rather thin-skinned individuals around here. Thanks again for taking this on. --Dragon695 20:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Tony RfC

FYI, the User:pacifist3 links don't work anymore.

I'm not sure how involved I'll be in this RfC. I'll probably sign a support, but at this point I'd rather let the new CSD go forward and see what happens. Tony's previous edits were annoying, but.. well, let's just say I don't need any more acrimony in my life right now. --Fang Aili 16:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I understand that you are starting a request for comments on a matter on which you have some disagreement with me. However, I don't think I've ever encountered you before, and I do not see your name in the history of my talk page. Have you made any attempt to raise your concerns with me? --Tony Sidaway 17:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

If you're talking to me, no. I did make one comment at {{user freedom}}, which you may have seen. I didn't follow up with it, though (i.e. comment on your talk page directly). Rogue, I think you may want to withdraw the RfC at this point, because it seems this hasn't been discussed with Tony properly. --Fang Aili 18:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if this will help your RFC or not, This edit shows tony's an example of Tony's Hatred and disregard for process.--God of War 23:44, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising

The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Misplaced Pages, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Misplaced Pages in the Misplaced Pages namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Misplaced Pages history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Misplaced Pages altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Misplaced Pages namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Crossing flags

Please do not cross flags on your user page. This may offend others and is even considered a crime in many countries. I am sure you are able to express your valuable opinion in a respectful way. May I ask why you dislike a Union you do not even belong to? Imagine someone crossed the flag of your country. ROGNNTUDJUU! 21:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Dissent against the government is also a crime in many countries; am I to therefore abrogate my right to do so in my own? If I was in a nation that outlawed crossing out the flag, then I would do so as an act of civil disobedience. And people burn the American flag many times a day all around the world including in the United States itself; I'm not about to go on some crusade to stop them. As for why, the userbox says that I don't trust the EU, and I don't. I similarly do not trust the United Nations, the government of China, or the government of the U.S. for that matter. Rogue 9 12:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I just think it would be more respectful to show your legitimate concerns in a different way then crossing out a flag many feel represented by. By the way, why did you single out the EU if you also distrust your own government and China? And why do you show your own flag with "Proud to be American" while you cross out that of others? Pride come before a fall I would say. You wrote at my user page that I "just copy/pasted the same message to everyone, presuming that everyone with the box was American, evidently." That is untrue. I noted to some British users that for example their Kingdom is a union, too. I am perfectly ok if someone expresses concerns about the EU or any other union. I am concerned myself about the agricultural subsidies and antidumping cases in the EU and US, for example. I however think that there are more respectful ways to express concerns than crossing out a flag many people fill represented by. I thought it would be more respectful to tell every user the reason why I listed the image for deletion as it was solely used for a user box that had already been deleted for being disruptive and was set up again on personal pages. What I got out of this is a massive amount of delete votes for a respect template I created and a massive keep vote for the respectless crossed out EU flag. But I also convinced some users that there are nicer ways to express their legitimate opinion, and I am thus sure that I achieved at least something. Have a good time here.

About a userbox

Hello there.

I was looking through your user page and noticed that you had a unique userbox for Irish users, one that I haven't seen on the main lists. Being about 50% Irish, I'm using it on my page as well. I just wanted to make sure that it was OK with you if I used it, since I'm not sure if you or someone else created it.

Thanks

Rand

Hi, mainly I wanted to let you know I enjoyed reading your user page. (I laughed out loud at "would shoot Greedo first." I think I would too). I was also psyched to see you support PW - I think they're great, and similarly entertaining about it. About the Rand/gay rights thing, the nearest I can figure is she is included in both categories because her philosophy inspired some gay people to be more comfortable following their self-interest, and in the against category because she was against the pc-like granting of special privileges to any minority groups, and also personally thought homosexuality was a psychiatric problem. That, and whether to list her as Russian, Jewish, American, etc. appears to have been an ongoing issue before I started editing that article, just FYI. Oh, and you probably should avoid profanity in your edit summaries, but it's a free country and all, so do what you like. Cheers, Kaisershatner 19:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyright?

I think I might need the help of you and some other experienced editors here. I'm not really a fan of the guy, but I wanted to improve the Klaus Nomi article so I cleaned it up a bit and added a picture. Now, I clearly showed where this came from when I uploaded the image, which is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:NOMI2.JPG

I think I made it pretty clear who this image belongs to. I'm probably doing something wrong here, but I'm not totally sure. All of this seems just a little bit ridiculous to me. Then again, so does most of wikipedia at this point. Since I have to add some kind of tag to this, what would you suggest that I use? Seeing as how the image is

©2003 George DuBose.

I'm not sure what tag it would fall under.

Wikipedia_talk:Censorship

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you knidly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 10:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• I think many who would take our side against the menace of censorship do not know about this poll. If you have some time to spare, would you mind posting a short message on their talk page (like mine) to let them know of this poll and invite them to voice their opinions? By involving more people, a larger portion of the Misplaced Pages community can have their say, for or against the policy. Some places you can go for a list of users are Wikipedia_talk:Censorship#Support, and ,. If you don't have the time, feel free to ignore this request. Thank you. Loom91 09:13, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rogue 9,

I noticed from the Inclusionist category page that you're an inclusionist, too, so I was wondering if you would be able to do me a huge favor and possibly place a vote here: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Embarazada. I added a ton to it, citing my sources. If you could, I would be greatly in your debt.

Request for HEAVY MODERATION at Evangeline Lilly

Due to the fact that there's been A LOT OF SPAM and A LOT OF UNWARRANTED EDITS in this article, it has came to my attention that this article has been severely beaten up to death. I hereby do request that this article be heavily moderated by anyone who knows A LOT about Evangeline Lilly in order to prevent a plethora of unwarranted edits and spams from coming into this article. I'm not gonna edit this article unless otherwise necessary but I am going to be more touchy with this article and because of what I have been seeing over the last couple of months, I do request that moderators and people who know more about Evangeline Lilly than myself (namely Yamla, I'm thinking Yamla knows more about Lilly than myself) to heavily moderate this article so that both spamming and unwarranted edits are being controlled. I'm not going to state messages like this but I really feel that this article has gone WAY OUT OF CONTROL and I think it's time to start getting serious about making this article encyclopediatrical. — Mark Kim (Reply/Start Talk) 15:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
