PRSA GA review

Hey YRC, I was looking at another matter on the Public Relations Society of America article and noticed the GA review. While you did fail it at the time and it is now clearly a candidate for a quickfail, you never took the technical steps to mark it as failed. You should leave a subsequent comment on the GA review and follow the necessary steps to have it noted as failing.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 01:33, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Ok - thanks Devil's Advocate, I will do that in the near future - best regards and wishes - Youreallycan 07:07, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I saw that you had still not formally failed the GA review so I took the liberty of doing so myself. You might like to make some final comments on why you do not feel it met the GA criteria. For future reference, please look over the review process as outlined at WP:GAN.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 20:39, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

About Zhou Jun and other things

Hi YRC. Zhou Jun is now referenced, including one added by me. That said, I'm one of the no doubt many other users that admire your WP:BLP vigilance.
My apologies for not responding to your kind message back in October 2012. I share your concerns about the use of Misplaced Pages for purely commercial ends. A case on point is Aimer, which was cleverly written to avoid G11s and G12s and.. oops, it's been deleted. I'll have to get back to you about that!

Ha, cool, thanks User:Shirt58 - I appreciate the comment, no worries - regards - Youreallycan 14:02, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Some of your comments were removed because

I removed an entire section begun by a community banned editor here, mostly in the interests of WP:BLP. Your entirely sensible and correct comments were removed at the same time. Unavoidable, but apologies for this! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:05, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks for the note Demi - really appreciate that. I have come to feel that everything I contribute here and however I try to help improve this place, is reverted or removed because it can be , and its at least nice to get a explanation. Thank you - Youreallycan 23:14, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Can you helpme , ok, you spend your valuable free time helping and bang - some wiki speak revert and thats it - you just waste your time here - Youreallycan 23:24, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Why did you request PP? The article is again locked out on the crappiest version any article on wiki which could ever be. I had removed the BLP vio's again. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:34, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Edit warring of BLP concerned content - its locked at the version you supported and were objecting to - Please make your case on talk or at WP:RFPP for lowering the protection. Regards - Youreallycan

(talk page stalker)I actually think that's the best thing for the article until the facts can be straightened out. It stops the cycle of add, revert and repeat Hell In A Bucket (talk) 10:41, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

(ec)Sadly no, it is still on the sucky version. Can you look the article over to ensure i have not missed any more vio's? I think I got all the ones sourced to blogs but an extra pair of eyes is usually handy. Hell in a Bucket, the best thing for that article is what I had done, go compare and let me know what you think. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

In every dispute someone has that opinion, you've raised concerns of endless reverts from another editor. This in turn makes you revert them, whether right or wrong and I'm not going into that part, what it ends up being is a disruption, therefore this will force a discourse on the issue. If you wish to make edits there is a process for that even with fully protected pages, and you have the option of going back to the page protection board and asking for it to be unprotected if you feel strongly. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 10:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, full support for that position HIAB - Youreallycan 10:57, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Social/structural change in Misplaced Pages

If you can add anything to this list it would be appreciated. I think we need to talk about a central repository for this splintered discussion. Perhaps a notice in Signpost? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Anthony - logging off now - tomorrow, or later today I will look at adding something - thanks - Youreallycan 07:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Looks quite promotional - if its a translation of a German article I am pretty sure it needs some it needs some attribution to say so on the talkpage ... citations are a bit self publised/promotional - some content is , or at least appears to be uncited - such as, live in Zurich with ... I would likely trim it in half - as a tennis player - http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Wa/M/Marc-Walder.aspx doesn't look notable Misplaced Pages:Notability_(sports)#Tennis - doesn't seem notable as a journalist either Misplaced Pages:Notability_(people)#Creative_professionals - CEO , not really notable imo -most is promotional - WP:GNG might get a few keep votes - Youreallycan 19:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

User:Bbb23 deleting my comment

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Bbb23&diff=prev&oldid=533617455#deleting_my_comment

Hi regarding this deletion of my comment - diff - the correct thing for you to have done was move it to the talkpage. Please do such in future if a similar situation occurs - and also - if you delete one of my posts in any administrative/policy compliance action, please do me the decency of letting me know on my talkpage - thanks - Youreallycan 19:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

You posted a message where you shouldn't have and I removed it with an explanation. I vaguely recall someone else moved it to the talk page, but if they hadn't, you could certainly have done so. The other editor had no obligation to do so, and neither did I. I don't like to presume what other people want, and for all I know, you might have phrased it differently if you'd posted it onto the talk page instead of to the crat page. Frankly, when one posts to such a page, particularly an experienced editor, one would expect that the page would be on their watchlist. I didn't remove your post in my administrative capacity. As for correctness and decency, you should be mildly annoyed (your error wasn't a big deal) with yourself for not following instructions instead of lashing out at others for fixing your mistake. I suspect you'll take offense at this response, but I'm mildly annoyed by your comments.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:31, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry matey - please be aware I care less about what you think I do - I am not even mildly upset - I have pointed out what you should have done and requested you not to do it/to improve your actions next time - carry on regardless if you want - its only a good faith attempt to improve the situation should it occur again - you don't agree - ok - do it again and I will report you. - Youreallycan 01:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Kailash Satyarthi

Hi, I've just undertaken the task of trying to improve the Kailash Satyarthi article. I was looking through the revision history and saw that, back in 2011, you were attempting to do the same thing on your old account. It doesn't seem like anyone has been giving the article the attention it needs since then; it's become bloated with unsourced, superfluous information. I've just made some pretty big edits (Mostly trying to remove some of the real problem sections, unfortunately), mainly just the really obvious ones. I'm not sure if you are more familiar with the subject matter than I am, but even if not you have obviously been actively editing Misplaced Pages a lot longer than I have; I was wondering if you could take a quick look at the article's current state, maybe give me some suggestions on what we should keep, what's most notable and stands the best chance at being salvaged. I'm afraid if I delete everything that's poorly written, unsourced, or biased, there won't be much of an article left at all.Thehumandignity (talk) 08:31, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

AN/I

I have a lot of sympathy for you. Are you able to make a considered statement showing what you have learned from the incident? I think if you were I (and potentially others) would withdraw from the position of a community ban, because you're right, it is harsh to ban you fro that one diff. See what you can do. It would be a shame to lose you. --John (talk) 22:29, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Site ban enacted

It is unfortunate to advise you that as per this closure, consensus is that as per your own agreed-to restrictions, you are site-banned from the English Misplaced Pages at this time. Please see the details in the closing statement for your way forward. It is my sincere hope that when you return in the future (and I know that you will return someday) that you are able to work within not only Misplaced Pages's policies, but within the restrictions that you yourself set.

What a very sad day this is..I will see you again in the future....Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:18, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into Misplaced Pages, particularly with regards to the Biographies of living persons noticeboard. Ritchie333 14:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't agree with this, atall :( GoodDay (talk) 15:25, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, the bright side is that this isn't any sort of indictment of anything you said or did, and whoever thinks it is is deluding themselves. What this sort of thing comes down to is how many supporters you can line up vs. how many opponents they can line up. It's like World of Warcraft, sometimes there's just too many orcs and not enough humans. Tarc (talk) 16:23, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Tarc, if you believe that than you and CoM have more in common than you might think. Drmies (talk) 18:43, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

As do you and Will Beback, apparently. Tarc (talk) 18:56, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Tarc, as someone who supported (and supports) the site ban and who thinks it is a very sad day when an editor is blocked, I can safely say that my support is entirely due to what YRC said and did. I can also assure you that I am not deluding myself. No matter how good an editor someone is, if they are unable to edit in a collaborative environment without making personal attacks then Misplaced Pages does not benefit from their presence. Thryduulf (talk) 19:29, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Tarc: I'm insulted. I like Rob a lot; I think he's done good things. I also think he placed himself on a strict incivility probation (for good reason, I might add) and he failed to hold himself to his own standards. This is a shame and a pity, but it's also a fact. Between people claiming established editors get away with murder civility-wise, and people screaming when civility paroles are actually enforced, there is no ground on which to stand where someone is not furious with you. It was hard for everyone on that ANI thread to speak out; no one did so lightly. I know it was with real regret that I did so. I have hopes Rob will be back and he will be able to hold himself to those standards when he returns; I reject utterly the idea that this was some kind of kangaroo court. I'm sorry you are unhappy about the outcome; I disagree with you on what happened. Puppy has spoken, puppy is done. (Rob, apologies for continuing this on your userpage.) KillerChihuahua 20:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I think he was coerced into accepting such a probation, then had the Eagle Eyes upon him ever after, looking for the slightest misstep on which to pounce. All you (a general "you" that imposed that civility restriction, not specifically you you) did was set a user up to fail. Tarc (talk) 00:30, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

KillerChihuahua, you do not have to be insulted at all. Tarc supported many community bans himself; so of course he meant himself, when he said "orcs", and I am pleasantly surprised that at last tarc has admitted he is not really a human. Rob, apologies for continuing this on your talk.76.126.142.118 (talk) 03:35, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I support community bans when they make sense, this one does not. Did I cast a support vote in your site-ban perhaps, whoever you are? Btw, Ilike orcs; I have a lvl 90 orc rogue on Arygos. Come visit sometime. Tarc (talk) 03:47, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I think Drmies read the sentiment at ANI well. It is the wrong outcome, though. The community is diminished by this decision. Another casualty of this site's appallingly vague and inconsistently interpreted civility norms. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 21:31, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

It is sad to see that such a valuable editor was blocked. User:Youreallycan's contributions to Misplaced Pages, especially to Biographies of living person related articles, are numerous and are the product of hard work and countless hours spent volunteering here. I wish I had seen the ANI thread before and would have definitely commented there if I knew this was going on. User:Youreallycan, I hope that you appeal your block and can start editing again here soon. Your friend, Anupam 22:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
