Misplaced Pages

I did it wrong!

Hi Chris,

I got your message about vandalisim. What it turns out I was doing was editing incorrectly. I explained my reasons for the edit in the unprotected page here in Misplaced Pages. But because I wasn't using the proper form of editing and contributing, it got out that I was doing it incorrectly. I apologize for that! I've tried to add as much information and clarify details I know (because I work in the industry) on the New England TV pages.

I hope I didn't offend anyone and I hope all is well. I will always try to be a positive (and registered!) contributer!

--Mike

Hey CFIF

Just so you know, I removed a personal attack from your talk page. User claimed to be your old friend D.B., but coulda been some other disgruntled user. You can still read the text in the history, but, really, why bother? Happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 07:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:RFI for User:Donotsayno

There is a hell of a backlog at WP:RFI on which I have begun to work. I thought you may be interested that I have filed a sockpuppet abuse accusation against Donotsayno: Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Donotsayno. His behaviour is very close to a user who has now been blocked twice for uploading large numbers of unsourced images.--Konstable 10:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

It`s very possible that they could be socks. Good find. --CFIF ☎ ⋐ 12:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

• Can we come to some agreement? I am just following established precedent, since there are a few other pages like those I created. I ignored your blatant personal attacks saying "revert idiotic move". I took a few days break and I hope you can be reasonable instead of calling people idiots. It looks like you seem to alienate a lot of people and you really need to calm down. Borox 00:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

But your move was extremely inappropriate, putting the entire history of the Dick Fletcher article into this. Fletcher and Dellegatto need seperate articles, and a one sentence intro similar to the other anchors, with a link to the article, would suffice.

Create a seperate article instead of moving an existing article. --CFIF ☎ ⋐ 00:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

And the newscasts don't really need their own article, it was fine in the article. --CFIF ☎ ⋐ 00:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

CFIF impostor

user:Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh got there first. Sorry I was slow on the draw, there, but I blocked the IP that left that message. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester 00:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

WTVT news team/WTSP news team

Could you move them back to Paul Dellegatto and Dick Fletcher respectively? --CFIF ☎ ⋐ 11:16, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Done and done. While fixing double redirects, I found he also tricked an admin into deleting Roy Leep ---- again! That's also fixed. —Wknight94 (talk) 14:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

The latest alleged sockpuppetry

First off I have to say that I am tired of this whole sockpuppet nonsense. I looked at the latest suspected Spotteddogsdotorg sockpuppets, mainly due to the message left by Lost Knob informing me that the Roy Leep article was up for deletion again. I do not feel that Borox is a part of the ring, since he seemed to be actually adding content and my guess is that he took the two bios for the station personalties that were in existance to preserve the edit history of them. This was not the best idea, as it should have been done with a merger proposal, but it apparently escalated into an edit war and led to the sock tag/ban by Splash. I think a checkuser may be in order here.

The Lost Knob matter seems a bit more of a poser. I really don't think he matches the behavior of the Spotteddogsdotorg socks and I think his re-AFDs for Roy Leep and Paul Dellegatto are more out of spite for CFIF, due to him being tagged as a sock of Displaced Brit. For the record I voted delete for the two articles because I feel that until some sort of specific policy for local TV personalites is established, they have to meet the established notabilty guidelines. If Lost Knob is a sockpuppet or meatpuppet, he may be one of Displaced Brit, since the two seem to use British English and use it rather coherently, unlike the Scott Brown/Spotteddogsdotorg socks. Also they seem to use several colloquialisms unique to the UK and not the sort of stuff you could pick up from Monty Python re-runs. My father was stationed at RAF Lakenheath, my mother is a Mancunian, and I worked three years in the London bureau, so I spent enough time over on the other side of the pond to detect a faker. Also what strikes me is the note he left on Splash's talk page that asks for some sort of consensus be reached. The note seems to be coherent and written in good faith, unlike the mad ramblings of Scott Brown, and calls for a consensus on the whole issue of local TV personalities. Again, I think a checkuser would be in order here.

I also feel that the Scott Brown based socks seem to have vanished, along with his Yahoo group given the legal threat from the people who run tvnewstalk.net. So I am really thinking that there are several people who CFIF has really pissed off who are out to get him. I really think we do need a cooling off period here because playing investigative reporter is part of my day job and I don't want to be doing it when I am at home.

WPVI-TV anchors

Hey, sorry if you're already aware of these but WPVI-TV anchors was formed out of several small articles with four reporter articles turned into redirects. I was going to unmerge them but figured that's more your dept. Feel free to unmerge those articles if you want since the AFD result for them was Keep. —Wknight94 (talk) 01:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
