Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:36, 6 February 2015

Dota 2

Hello Bryce,

I'm posting on (and starting) your talk page because I am very impressed with your recent work on the Dota 2 page. You see, I created that page over four years ago and have been its top editor ever since, bringing it all the way to Good Article status and it is now on the cusp of Featured Article status. However, I cannot continue editing Misplaced Pages regularly, which is why I am looking for a successor for taking care of the page and bringing it to FA status. Would you be interested in undertaking this task? DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 04:14, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey!

I could definitly look at taking a look at the Dota 2 page. the main things I see that keep it from FA quality is the overall tone reads like an advert to me, I've taken down a lot of the peacock phrases to try and help bring it to a more NPOV that could score QA status. but I think there might be some larger problems as well ( structure of the article as a hole ) but I'd be happy to continue to try and help get it to QA quality. I'll read all the QA articles for other sportsgames and see what motiffs we can emulate to get it to top notch.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at Executive summary, you may be blocked from editing. I've warned you before on several occasions so I'm no longer giving you the benefit of the doubt. You deliberately introduced inaccuracies into this article by altering a direct quote. It's not the first time you've done it. It I suggest you make sure it's the last. andy (talk) 00:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

That was a test edit. I meant to sandbox it so I changed it back. don't lie about vandalism so much.

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. andy (talk) 21:18, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Executive summary

Please discuss your issues further on the talk page for this article. It's been requested that the article be protected, but I'm sure you and Andyjsmith will be able to talk this out between yourselves which would avoid page protection. Panyd 14:47, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I would like to add that please assume good faith both of you and consider dispute resolution so that to avoid page protection in future. A.Minkowiski 15:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at Human mission to Mars. andy (talk) 22:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I didn't vandalize the article. I was trying to make the wording more clear. Was there something that wasn't true? I read the source material.

• This edit is gibberish. I'll give you an opportunity to correct it. andy (talk) 23:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
• It's still gibberish. You don't understand orbital mechanics so why try to improve the text? Please restore to its original version. andy (talk) 23:42, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I based it off of the source material, what part doesn't make sense when you read the source material. be specific. The fact that you think those aren't words ( what gibberish actually is ) shows that you might be confused. some of the big words I don't mind helping you out with.

• Seriously final warning. Your original mistake might have been inadvertent but by refusing to correct it you're making it deliberate. I've told you that what you have written makes no technical sense. If you look at the earlier text you'll see it said the intervals were fixed by not fixed in. That's obviously a completely different thing even if you don't understdand the subject, which you obviously don't. By all means edit sections about Mars in fiction but not sections about the energy requirements for Hohmann transfers. I have no intention of getting caught up in an edit war with you so please fix that error or I'll have to report you for disruptive editing. andy (talk) 23:54, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Feel free to report me, maybe the 3rd time is the charm right? the source material states in, but by works as well so we can go that way no problem. if you understood how cycles worked you could see how things go in them. But no worries :) good luck reporting me yet again maybe the boy who cries wolf will win for once lol.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. The thread is Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Bryce_Carmony reported by User:Andyjsmith (Result: ). Thank you. andy (talk) 08:50, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm hoping you will respond to my question at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Bryce Carmony reported by User:Andyjsmith (Result: ) in case I am the admin to close this report. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 20:38, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I never revert andy's posts. I look at his objections, and then change the article to meet Misplaced Pages criteria per the Manual of Style. I'm tired of only 1 wikipedian falsely accusing me over and over again of this and that. All I do is read the Manual of Style. Read the source material. and edit articles to represent that source material in the wikipedia style.Bryce Carmony (talk) 02:34, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  5 albert square (talk) 22:45, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I have been blocked 3 times by the same administrator who is claiming I am "edit warring" when that is not what is happening. In the article "gray's Anatomy" me and a Wikipedian from the United Kingdom had a disagreement over the use of the word "Originally" in an article. I started a section in the talk page and asked if ANYONE objected to removing the word "Originally" and i provided my reasoning for its removal. The Wikipedian AndyJSmith never said "I disagree, we should keep the word" so we never discussed it, another wikipedian agreed with me that Originally is awkward, and then to get a better view I looked at other articles in wikipedia to see if they were using "Originally Written" or just "Written" and looking at FEATURE articles I saw that they just used "written" even if rewrites by different authors of the book existed ( romeo and Juliet is an example) If AndyJSmith felt that this was a "war" all he had to do was write "here's why I think we should keep originally" and we oculd have a discussion. But he never did, so I assumed he was ok with it just like the other wikipedians in the talk page. I am not a vandal, I am not trying to make wikipedia a worse place. I am using the Discussion talk page to try in good faith reach an agreement but an Irish Admin keeps banning me for "edit warring" even tho 100% of the talk page is in agreement and other articles agree with me.

User:Bryce Carmony was blocked the first time by User:JamesBWatson per this edit warring complaint. In my opinion the original 3RR complaint might have been closed without a block if Bryce Carmony had agreed to wait for consensus before removing 'originally' yet again. While we were trying to negotiate this, he edited the article again to add the word 'originally' in a large number of places where it made no sense. He was (in my opinion) correctly blocked for a WP:POINT violation; some people might consider this vandalism. I have not yet researched Bryce's later history after the original block expired. Repeating his unconvincing defence to the first block doesn't seem like a good move if he sincerely wants to be unblocked. Asking for a non-Irish administrator, when all admins ought to be qualified enough, seems like a further effort to sabotage his unblock request. EdJohnston (talk) 02:09, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I was misguided when I put "originally" in front of various past tense verbs. I was trying to illistraite how using the world when it isn't needed is silly. In my defense It was around MLK JR day and I was reading about rosa parks and I thought " She stood up by sitting down, I can show them how silly excess originally is by briefly having a lot of them. then showing them how much nicer it looks without them" It was a flawed idea but I haven't done it again, I learned from that mistake. After that , I made a discussion page which AndyJSmith refuses to comment in. if he said " I disagree" those 2 words I would say "alright so we have a disagreement, lets look at solutions" but he refuses to have enough respect to engage in the talk page. I'm not asking for a "non irish" admin, I'm asking for an admin who isn't from either country of the "warring" ( I use the term loosely since I don't consider this a war at all ) who will post on my talk page. I looked at FEATURED ARTICLES and I said "what do we do if a book has an "original" authot but then is rewritten a lot? do other wikipedians use the word Originally in front? and every song, every book, every movie I couldn't find a single example of using "originally" except for in grays anatomy. Andy is refusing to use the discussion page. The Admin is refusing to use the dicussion page. only me and one other wikipedian used it and we both agree that dropping the word is fine. Look at my edit history, I'm just someone trying to improve wikipedia, and if Andy J Smith could take the time to say " I disagree" instead of "Ban wikipedians" we could reach a consensus.Bryce Carmony (talk) 02:17, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Also you'll notice in that edit warring complaint I agree to use the talk page, Andy never says that he'll use it ( which seems honest of him since he refuses to use it except to say ) I got a wikipedian banned. like he's making a ear necklace or something. How can there be a "war" when there is only one side? how can we not have consensus when other wikipedians and other articles all point to agree that we can say "Gray's Anatomy was written by Henry Gray" that's what the reference says. andyjsmith should just say " hey, here's reason 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc .. why we should use the word Originally in front of Written" then we could discuss it , and make wikipedia better.Bryce Carmony (talk) 02:24, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

AndyJsmith issuing Death threats on wikipedia

Wikipedian User AndyJSmith has been writing that I have a wish to be killed. This sort of intimidation tactic has no place in civil society or wikipedia. Threats against the safety of another wikipedian cannot be tolerated, can I have a Admin warn AndyJSmith against making threats of bodily harm against other wikipedians?
