Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 07:07, 17 April 2014

If I leave a message for you: Please respond on your talk page. I'll probably add it to my watchlist, but if I miss something, feel free to leave a talkback. If you leave a message for me: I will most likely respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page. Note: I reserve the right to decline or withdraw from a situation that is escalating or uncomfortable, without giving a reason, or to take further action through permissable means. (See this policy.) If I mistakenly called your edits as vandalism when I reverted them, it was probably because you did not leave an edit summary. Please realize that, in many cases, unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism! This also applies to Rollbacks. If you're here to troll, harass, or vandalise, I might not be able to stop you, but you will be reverted...and beware the giant dice.

Aleksander Yakovlev articles

I'm not quite sure what is the easiest way to handle the multiple articles on Aleksander Yakovlev. The articles are Aleksander Yakovlev and Alexander Yakovlev (fighter). Obviously there's no need for 2 articles on the same person so there's no need for the additional "fighter" designation. However, that is the more detailed article and has the more current fight record. I'd appreciate your help in handling this. Thanks. Papaursa (talk) 00:34, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

The first should probably redirect to Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev as an alternate spelling of the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, so the latter should be the one kept, I think. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:56, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

 Done, with help of user:Nick. Dmatteng (talk) 14:07, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Space Shuttle Inspiration

Thank you, thank you, for finding that image. Did a brief search last night...nothing deep as I was falling asleep. Folks love taking pictures of the Inspiration mockup at the Astronaut Hall of Fame, but photos of this one are not common. Great catch. — Huntster (t @ c) 17:21, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Glad to help out! - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 4:08 pm, Today (UTC−4)

JonTron

Hey there! I noticed you were the one who redirected and protected the JonTron page after the fourth nomination of the article. I just wanted to ask: do you have the ability to access the deleted page itself? I ask because I want to incorporate most of the material from the deleted JonTron page into Normal Boots. However, I cannot access the old material because the page's history had been deleted. Are you able to access the material? If not, do you possibly know who might have access? Thanks. RazorEye ⡭ ₪ ·o' ⍦ ࿂ 19:24, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I can, and if that page is kept I'll restore it for potential merge. I would caution, though, that incorporating "most of the material" could be seen as an attempt to 'end-around' the AfD result, and would urge a cautiously selective merge. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:07, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible you can copy the entire article under my username space? Like, User:RazorEyeEdits/JonTron so I can work from there? RazorEye ⡭ ₪ ·o' ⍦ ࿂ 22:13, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

That would bring up the issue of attribution, though. However, I've emailed you a copy of the final version of the article as it stood before it was deleted, so that you can work from the sources from that, that works? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:37, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I haven't received an email at all. RazorEye ⡭ ₪ ·o' ⍦ ࿂ 01:38, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Just tried again. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:24, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Are you sending it to the correct email address? It's razoreye@hotmail.com. RazorEye ⡭ ₪ ·o' ⍦ ࿂ 02:26, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm sending it using the 'Email this user' link. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:45, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Porsche-Volkswagen

BR, could you please check and see if Porsche-Volkswagen has been deleted before? The current "version" has no sources, and I can't find any reliable sources on such an entity. I'm tempted to Prod it, but I have to make sure it wasn't deleted before. (Simply redirecting it didnt work!) Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 05:32, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm calling it a G3 hoax, as there is nothing about VW selling Porsche (in fact, they just bought it in 2012...) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:36, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

And also a realm of cut-and-paste merges to be deleted as copyvio. Ugh... - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:47, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Ok, thanks much. - BilCat (talk) 08:23, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Suspicious activity cont.

Hello again Bushranger. Fortunately that IP hopping warrior rarely rears his head since events back in January and February and only occasionally does he return to cause some trouble. However, for the past few days he has returned to being quite regular in his stalking and harassment of my edits (perhaps he has more free time lately?). Regardless, it is quite unfortunate that he desires so much to continue his disruptive behavior. To the best of my efforts I have and will try to WP:DENY. After a day or two when I notice no activity from the IP i'll just remove the edit myself (more often than not someone else has removed his edit anyway).

Though considering his harassment has intensified these past few days, would it be OK if I bring up any issues with you? (I.e semi-page protection for an article he is repeatedly vandalizing etc). Hopefully it doesn't come tho this, but I thought id give you a heads-up just encase it does. Thanks for listening, good luck and happy editing! Antiochus the Great (talk) 10:50, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, and if it becomes an issue that needs attention, pop me a note. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 12:00, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

"Hate speech" 3RR

BR, please see Scotch-Irish American, where User:Duedemagistris is past 3RR, and Talk:Scotch-Irish American#Removal of ethnic slur links for the discussion. I'm not reverting him in the article again. I warned him on his talk page for 3RR, but it was promptly removed. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 19:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

And now he's claiming I'm a sockpuppet! See Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring and Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard. I'm not going to respond there. - BilCat (talk) 19:05, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Facepalm I'll take a look. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:54, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! - BilCat (talk) 21:33, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Uh, are blocked notices allowed to be removed? - BilCat (talk) 21:37, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

It's...debated but is generally considered bad form. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:08, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Ok. - BilCat (talk) 22:10, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Enjoy one after our debate about Me 409/BV 155. Regards, DPdH (talk) 07:07, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
