Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:55, 2 June 2016

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, James Van Der Beek , but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Misplaced Pages has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 03:05, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Besieged. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Daniel Squadron, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. besieged 20:22, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Re your ANI report

The IP is most likely being used by somebody else by now. I advise you to just blank the abusive post above. Unfortunately it's hard to do anything else about it. Regards, Bishonen | talk 11:26, 10 January 2014 (UTC).

Thanks. At least you said something. But how do you know? I think we could at least ban so that people who use that account are aware. --38.105.132.130 (talk) 16:19, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

It's not an account, unfortunately, or it could usefully have been blocked. It could easily be a person who in fact has a Misplaced Pages account, but chose to log out in order to attack you, so as not to get their main account blocked. Sadly, that happens a lot. Anyway, a ban wouldn't be considered for an IP with just a couple of edits; if you check out the banning policy, I think you'll see why. Probably you meant you'd like to see them blocked? See the blocking policy. I realize all this Misplaced Pages terminology is a jungle. Anyway, if the IP's edit had been recent, I would have considered blocking them briefly, say for 24 hours, but such a thing is just pointless more than a month after the fact. They'd never notice. It's true that their Geolocate link says it's a static IP, but that site is not very reliable, and for an IP that's only been used a couple of times, I don't have any faith in it at all.

I'm sorry you were attacked. For support and answers to questions, you might like to try the Teahouse. It's a great place for new users — well, I know you're not that new, always supposing all these are yours — but anyway, it's a great place for explanations and help. By the way, have you considered creating an account for yourself? You're welcome to contribute as an IP, but if you want to take full ownership of your contributions, an account is the way to go. See Epeefleche's welcome above. Bishonen | talk 17:48, 10 January 2014 (UTC).

That's true, a 24 hour block would've been useless in this situation. Thanks for following up. Just left them a warning on their page. --38.105.132.130 (talk) 17:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

I thought this article might be relevant to you somehow http://www.thewire.com/national/2013/03/nih-lesbian-fat-study/63007/ 88.81.159.162 (talk) 07:37, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

That's the best you could come up with? You developers are the dumbest folks on earth. No wonder everyone hates you.--38.105.132.130 (talk) 19:03, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

(From my talkpage, which you don't seem to have consulted after posting on it.) I've blocked the small range 88.81.159.160/29 for three months. May I ask what you mean by "you developers"? Bishonen | talk 15:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC).

Not computer programmers, sorry!! It was a diss on real-estate developers, specifically the ones in New York City. I think this person works for Forest City Ratner. THANK YOU for blocking.--38.105.132.130 (talk) 23:56, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Bill Koch (businessman)  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 23:51, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hello, 38.105.132.130. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Rolling Stone, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Misplaced Pages articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Misplaced Pages article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Misplaced Pages's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Misplaced Pages's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:44, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm FoCuSandLeArN. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one or more of your recent contributions to Rolling Stone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Misplaced Pages as a "soapbox" are against Misplaced Pages policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Misplaced Pages. Thank you. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 16:50, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Misplaced Pages for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Rolling Stone. Favonian (talk) 18:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
