== Project page (aka, Petra canvassing again!!!) ==

Hi there Buster,

Thank you for yet another friendly note of support. We do get kicked in the ankles a lot around here, and every once in a while, an 'atta boy' can do wonders.

I wondered if you could give me some advice. I have a project I need to put together so that various editors can work together, but I want to keep it very simple for now, so that we aren't mired in talk but rather can get straight to work in article space. This project is to review recent edits made by a team with a stated POV to a whole slew of articles. The edits need to be reviewed, and each section then researched/fact-checked and re-done accordingly. So the work is enormous, and I think the best way forward is to stay very organized and very simple. If editors want to help with the project, I want the process to be very smooth. We all have limited time, and this isn't going to be fun to begin with. A streamlined Project Page could be the key to success.

Can you help me with this? I ask because you seem well-versed in these pages. Thanks a million! '''<span style="text-shadow:7px 7px 8px #B8B8B8;">]]]</span>''' 17:31, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

THIS IS A BLOCK FREE and a DON'T HASSLE MY COMPANY ZONE

This talk page is a 'BLOCK FREE' Zone. Any previous bans or other editor restrictions are rescinded and no longer enforcable. Blatant and obvious (although, who's to say what's obvious) acts of in-civility will not be tolerated. They will, however, not be punishable. n one house of Congress in one branch of government doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election

Co-operation is a learned skill

versaries. The “back and forth” between editors MUST be congenial. For generations, writers of all kinds have corresponded. In order to maintain a working relationship they rarely, if ever, attacked each other. We do not create articles or edit them in isolation. By "Leave the room" I don't mean back down....just "back up". When you stumble upon a hornets nest, you don't keep hitting it. You back up...for your own well-being. The hornets are not going to change. They like being hornets. You tried ANI. Neither of you are satisfied with the results. But many editors and admins saw what happened and will file it in their memory. I don't like bullies/hornets any more than you two do. I just have learned not to get stung. The article isn't going anywhere. Watch it and wait for com-patriots. WP editing should be enjoyable, not aggravating. ```Buster Seven Talk 08:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC) Reply to Ihardlythinkso (talk) 09:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

There are many jobs at the Zoo. And Many Many happy workers. Pick a job that needs doing. And be happy. Leaving the Zoo is always an option. I love this Zoo. Maybe that's the difference. What you call "zoo" is just one of the hundreds (or is it hundreds of thousands) of enviroments here. I would suggest you leave the zoo and find an environment more condusive to your greatness. Or stay in the zoo and be fretful and unhappy. ``Buster Seven Talk 09:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


Good Advice

  • From dialogue with User:Imprompt2 (without bolding)

This is very important to understand. Your comment implies a fellow editor is intentionally trying to harm you. It displays a complete misunderstanding of our mutual roles here at Misplaced Pages. Editor _________ is not your adversary. She is your fellow editor, fellow collaborator, fellow teacher. She has ONLY the best intentions for the article. That you can be sure of. To continually imply otherwise shows you really don't yet understand the role of your fellow editors. Most times new editors are concerned only with the article they have just created. But, experienced editors like _________ are more concerned with the Encyclopedia as a whole. I know you are a new user and you hold this the article and your edits to it and your word choices and your particular references as precious and you can't bear to see them changed. You have great pride in your work and rightfully so. But saving it in its original form has become a mission. Because you have misunderstood some basic facts, you see experienced editors like ___________ as having a "cruel hands". That could not be further from the truth. Once you change your opinion of her and what she is doing you will be on the path to a happier Misplaced Pages career. It's always up to you. ```Buster Seven Talk 08:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

To modify something

To modify something you wrote, the way to do it is to use the <ins> and <del> tags. For example, if you wrote this: "The sun is cold." and you wanted to correct it in a Talk page conversation, you should do it like this: "The sun is <del>cold</del> <ins>hot</ins>." The result looks like this: "The sun is cold hot." That is the accepted way to do it.```Buster Seven Talk 05:46, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

CVUA Test 1

Please answer these questions about Vandalism and let me know when you are done. You don't need to give a long answer. Thanks!

  1. Please briefly describe what vandalism is.
    A: Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages. Some examples of typical vandalism are adding obscenities and crude humor to a page, illegitimately blanking pages, and inserting obvious nonsense into a page.
  2. Am I allowed to get in an edit war while reverting vandalism?
    A: No. Reporting the vandal to an administrator is a better solution.
    Technically, you are. But yes, seeking a sysop is much better.
    Good to know that but edit warring kind of plays in the vandals desire to play a game. To me, vandalism is a kids game that I'd rather not play.
  3. What should I do after I spot vandalism? (3 steps)
    A: 1) Make sure it really IS vandalism rather than an innocent mistake, 2)Revert the vandalism by viewing the page's history and selecting the most recent version of the page prior to the vandalism, 3) Warn the vandal with the appropriate warning template.
  4. Please list 3 ways how to spot vandalism.
    A: 1) Keeping an eye on your own watchlist for suspicious edits, 2) checking the "user contribution" page of an identified vandal to discover other vandalous acts,
    And the third? :]
    Oooopps!! 3)Scanning "recent changes", looking for large changes or likely culprits. Some wild goose chasing but working toward increasing an ability to spot vandals.
  5. If an entire article is vandalism, what should you do?
    A: Request Speedy Deletion by adding one of the speedy deletion templates.
  6. Is making test edits considered vandalism?
    A: No. Users sometimes edit pages as an experiment. Such edits, while prohibited, are treated differently from vandalism. These users should be warned using the uw-test series of user warning templates, or by a talk page message including, if appropriate, a welcome and referral to the Misplaced Pages sandbox, where they can continue to make test edits without being unintentionally disruptive. Registered users can also create their own sandboxes as a user subpage. If a user has made a test edit and then reverted it, consider placing the message Information icon Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for reverting your recent experiment. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead, as someone could see your test before you revert it. Thank you., on their talk page.

Nice. I've left some follow-ups. — ΛΧΣ 01:59, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

CVUA Assignment 2

User:Hahc21/CVUA/Buster7

Nice answers to the first test, here is your second assignment :]

Assignment:

  • Read WP:Cleaning up vandalism and WP:WARN.
  • Find two users or IPs you'd warn for vandalism, including the diffs of their vandal behaviour.
  • Explain which template you'd give to two of them.

Cheers. — ΛΧΣ 12:57, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

  • IPVandal #1---- I would use a level 1 warning. Having said that, I just checked his recent contributions and found this which he did at the same article a month ago and this vandalism he also did about a month ago. This shows that I should investigate a bit first before deciding on the level of warning to be issued. I have issued a level3 warning and reported to WP:AIV. ```Buster Seven Talk 19:50, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
  • IPVandal #2---- Again, a level one warning. It is the only action, so far, by this user. While a bit crude, it seems childish. A Template:uw-test2 was issued by User:Materialscientist. ```Buster Seven Talk 05:38, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Great! Yes, you can use Twinkle hehe, and you forgot to ping me ;) I will be handling the second test tomorrow morning (my time). — ΛΧΣ 03:20, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

CVUA Test 2

Please answer the following questions
  1. Why should new users be given level 1 warnings when possible?
    A: A level 1 warning is the least "aggressive" warning. It is a gentle caution used for unconstructive edits. Hopefully it wakes the new editor up without the accusation of vandalism.
  2. What level(s), if vandalism persists after the warning, can a user be reported to AIV and blocked for disruptive editing for vandalizing
    A: Levels 3 and 4. Level 3 warns that if the vandalism continues you "may" be blocked. Level 4 makes it clear that if acts of vandalism continue you WILL be blocked.
  3. What level warning(s) mention that an editor could be blocked?
    A: Levels 3 and 4.
Please name which edit warning you would issue to a user in the following scenarios
  1. A new user blanking sections.
    A: {{uw-test1}} or {{uw-delete1}}. Due to the possibility of unexplained good-faith content removal, blanking should not necessarily be considered vandalism. Conversely, some blanking is obviously vandalism (a whole article, for instance) and should be reverted and the editor warned with level 3 or 4.
  2. Nonsense/Repeating characters.
    A: This may be just a test edit by a new editor. Level 1.
  3. Replacing an article with obscenities.
    A: Using obscenities is a conscious thought and act by the vandalizing editor. It is not a mistake and it should have serious consequences. At least a Level 3 warning.
  4. How should vandalism be reverted (without Rollback)?
    A: Use "Un-do" to revert the vandalism. If not possible because of subsequent edits, revert by deleting the vandalism and returning the article to its pre-vandalism state taking into consideration edits that followed it.
  5. Should section blanking-edits be reverted?
    A: Yes, of course. Whenever a negative change is discovered any editor should revert back to the last good or quality edit.
  6. Should test edits be reverted?
    A: Yes, of course. They are like litter and should be removed just as a clean-up of the article. They most likely are not vandalism. a Level 1 warning should do.
  7. What is the difference between a test edit and vandalism?
    A:A test edit is usually an experiment by a novice editor that either doesnt know how to remove it or just forgets to remove it. It's innocent and un-intentional. Vandalism is a conscious attack of the pages of the encyclopedia. It can be considerable or minor, but the vandal knows what he is doing.

Your second test :) — ΛΧΣ 03:30, 18 October 2013 (UTC)


Assignment 3

Assignment:

  1. Read WP:BLOCK and WP:GAIV.
  2. Find a user that you think could be blocked for vandalism.
Fallentvd seems to fit the bill. His blanking of the page and then inserting new edits in a completely non-Misplaced Pages format seems to be more than just innocent religious fanaticism (if religious fanaticism can ever be innocent).
  1. Find a user you'd report at WP:AIV for vandalism.
69.67.144.105 At various articles, he blanks complete sections, blanks the reference thread, and adds personal dribble into articles.

Cheers. — ΛΧΣ 03:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Her performance at Star Academy was huge success." --Operaworldmusic (talk) 12:22, 12 November 2013 (UTC) but regarding the video youtube I've seen many pages with youtube video as references in wikipedia . could you please provide me with raison why in other pages we accepted to have youtube as references? thx --Operaworldmusic (talk) 12:22, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

  • Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable. This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), CBDB.com, collaboratively created websites such as wikis, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users.
"Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control. Posts left by readers may never be used as sources; see WP:NEWSBLOG.
Self-published material may sometimes be acceptable when its author is an established expert whose work in the relevant field has been published by reliable third-party publications. Self-published information should never be used as a source about a living person, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP#Reliable sources.
Also see WP:RS and WP:SELFPUB In general none of these will count as a reliable source. However there are exceptions. Youtube postings by reliable sources of their own work, such as for example when a new organization uploads a clip to youtube, or a movie studio uploads a trailer, may be a reliable source. In a biography the subject's OWN Facebook page may be a citeable source for what the subject has said/written about a topic, but their own website will often be more stable and thus should be preferred if the info can be cited from there. Much the same applies to Twitter and other social media sites.

  • There is no blanket ban on linking to YouTube or other user-submitted video sites, as long as the links abide by the guidelines @ Misplaced Pages:External links (see Restrictions on linking and Links normally to be avoided). Many videos hosted on youtube or similar sites do not meet the standards for inclusion in External links sections, and copyright is of particular concern. Many YouTube videos of newscasts, shows or other content of interest to Misplaced Pages visitors are copyright violations and should not be linked. Links should be evaluated for inclusion with due care on a case-by-case basis. Links to online videos should also identify additional software necessary for readers to view the content. ```Buster Seven Talk 21:23, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

You have violated copyright and misattributed content

What do you think you're doing here? That's not your content. Someone else holds the copyright, not you. You weren't authorized to release it into the CC-BY-SA licensing realm.

@Buster7: Better not to paste content from external sources to Misplaced Pages, since that can be construed as a copyvio (even comments on articles). Use a link instead. §FreeRangeFrog 14:51, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

I've been an SF fan since high school. My first memorable piece of prose was a term paper that was basically cut-n-paste from a dozen or so Introductions. Bradbury, Asimov, Heinlein, etc. I discovered Enders Game 30 years ago and have been a Card fan since (not the fantasies, just Ender stuff). I especially enjoy re-reading Speaker for the Dead and think Jane is just the best character ever. ```Buster Seven Talk 14:20, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Buster7

I created the page Miley Cyrus videography, and I worked hard collecting the information, I see that you're editing it, I don't think we should speak about Hannah Montana, because it's Miley Cyrus as herself videography, and it's not the only videography that looks like that, you can check other singers videographies, discographies, I'm working hard on developping that article and updating it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ImmortalCyrus (talkcontribs) 19:58, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate your hard work and do not mean to undo any of it. You and I are collaborators. It is not your article. It needs work and improvement.

Hi, Buster: Looking pretty good. Still needs work tho. The section titled school district is unreferenced mostly. I would just lose the stuff on the scholarships. Maybe keep the $22 million if you can ref it, but definitely lose the National merit thing. That isn't really a big deal...my grad class got 15. the library award should be referenced.

Most importantly, the demographics must be referenced. If the districts website don't have it, there are websites that have it. I will have to look and I really don't have time today...coordinating a community thanksgiving feast.3

Lastly, we don't use titles (?...do you mean in the infobox .....Dr. Dana T. Bedden.... ) and we don't use the flag icon on school articles  Done.

Sorry I can't really look that close today, but i will revisit it when I can. John from Idegon (talk) 18:11, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

MOS says that when we name people we do not use titles (except for military and heraldic, and then only the first instance in an article), unless the person has a sexually ambiguous name like francis. We also do not use middle initials unless they are needed for clarity, and in the body of the article (not in infobox or captions) we use the whole name the first time and just the last after that. Basically the same as the AP stylebook. John from Idegon (talk) 22:02, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

STiki

It's easy. After you download the file you unzip it. Then the executable file there, which you can move to your desktop or wherever, is what you click on to activate STiki. You plug in your user name and PW and that's it. The rest is self-explanatory. The trick is not how to use it but when to stop using it. I find that when I get dizzy I know I've been using it too much. Coretheapple (talk) 19:00, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

I assume you're familiar with the various options. Reading from bottom to top: you can ignore the edit on your screen (Innocent), you can pass the ball to another user (Pass), you can revert it as a Good Faith edit (with various options for a message to the user, including no message), and you can revert it as Vandalism. Usually I don't issue a warning, as for the most part vandals are children and a warning would just encourage them. But your mileage may vary.

Using STiKi for a while, you get a sense about the vast amount of vandalism going on at all times, as well as the strange assortment of trivia that warrants Misplaced Pages articles. Coretheapple (talk) 19:26, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

By the way, the STiKi people frown on use of the "pass" option, as it seems to put a burden on the system or something like that, I'm not clear why. Coretheapple (talk) 19:27, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi there Buster,

Thank you for yet another friendly note of support. We do get kicked in the ankles a lot around here, and every once in a while, an 'atta boy' can do wonders.

I wondered if you could give me some advice. I have a project I need to put together so that various editors can work together, but I want to keep it very simple for now, so that we aren't mired in talk but rather can get straight to work in article space. This project is to review recent edits made by a team with a stated POV to a whole slew of articles. The edits need to be reviewed, and each section then researched/fact-checked and re-done accordingly. So the work is enormous, and I think the best way forward is to stay very organized and very simple. If editors want to help with the project, I want the process to be very smooth. We all have limited time, and this isn't going to be fun to begin with. A streamlined Project Page could be the key to success.

Can you help me with this? I ask because you seem well-versed in these pages. Thanks a million! petrarchan47tc 17:31, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
