COI guideline

I notice that you're edit warring over a "disputed" tag on the guideline. The problem with that "disputed" tag is that it leaves us with no guideline. Now, that's problematic in itself, I'm sure you'd agree. But this is also problematic. That guideline you keep invalidating has a clause that reads as follows:

Any editor who discusses proposed changes to WP:COI or to any conflict of interest policy or guideline, should disclose in that discussion if he or she has been paid to edit on Misplaced Pages.

As you know, you said on Jimbo's talk page in November 2013 that you've done a "a form of paid editing" in which you wrote an article and it was posted by someone else. Now, I suppose your position may be "oh no! I'm not proposing changes to the guideline, all I'm doing is putting a disputed tag on it, which invalidates it, but gosh and golly, that's not proposing a change is it?" I guess you could say that. But please don't. Please self-revert. Thanks in advance. Coretheapple (talk) 02:46, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Since I was not the one who placed the tag, nor am I the only one who is disputing the changes you and Smallbones have added without seeking consensus, I see no reason to remove it. The matter is simply, per the policy Misplaced Pages:Policies and guidelines:

• "Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines are developed by the community to describe best practice, clarify principles, resolve conflicts, and otherwise further our goal of creating a free, reliable encyclopedia."
• "Because Misplaced Pages practice exists in the community through consensus, editing a policy/guideline/essay page does not in itself imply an immediate change to accepted practice. It is, naturally, bad practice to recommend a rejected practice on a policy or guideline page. To update best practices, you may change the practice directly (you are permitted to deviate from practice for the purposes of such change) and/or set about building widespread consensus for your change or implementation through discussion. When such a change is accepted, you can then edit the page to reflect the new situation."

The changes you are suggesting have not been adopted by the community. I checked on the 'consensus' for that sentence you keep quoting and there were only 10 editors participating. Regardless, as you admit, I've only said I did a 'form' of paid editing. I've never actually edited this project for money. Finally, and your inner-monolgue should be very calm, poised, and soft spoken when you read this, please find something else to do than coming to my talk page. My talk page edit notice very clearly states: "If you have come to change my opinion, understand that I refuse to change my opinion unless your own opinion is available for change as well. If you cannot agree to that, don't bother trying." Since you've shown zero evidence that you are here to 'discuss' anything, but rather to push your point of view, you're not welcome.--v/r - TP 02:58, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

I have to say, that this] is a little depressing. I've always had some reservations about the MRM sanctions, and the way the last point on how to avoid being subject to sanctions is ignored. --Kyohyi (talk) 14:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

A table showing the old Toolserver tool and its replacement

I started this table, and was wondering if you'd be so kind as to help fill it in a bit.

Other replacements

A replacement for http://stats.grok.se/ can now be found at https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/.

Notes

1. ^ Post on User talk:Dispenser on Wikitech

If it exists already somewhere, please say and I'll delete it. Many thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:47, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

It doesn't exist as far as I'm aware - this is an awesome idea. I'll see what I can do later.--v/r - TP 17:00, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Round of edits to YY

Hello TParis,

Thanks for the great comments on the Yin Yoga article here: I finally carved out some time to act on them in the article. I believe I addressed your specific points (but correct me if I'm wrong), and I also read WP:MOS/words, and looked at the article again with that in mind. If, as your time allows, you could again turn on the laser beam to see if it could be improved further, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, EMP (talk) 00:30, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

UTRS review

Happy Fourth. I'm new (as you know :-)) to UTRS, but it looks like this may be a filter false-positive that's fallen through the cracks. Okay to unblock? All the best, Miniapolis 17:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

None of us know the reason for the block and overturning checkuser blocks w/o good reason isn't a good thing to do. Waiting for RE to return.--v/r - TP 18:38, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Okay, and thanks for the advice. All the best, Miniapolis 00:09, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
