Misplaced Pages Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors

Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Misplaced Pages Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Misplaced Pages in their classes.

If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, no. Toddst1 (talk) 07:10, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Similar name

I doubt Toddy1 is an impersonator but I thought I'd point it out fyi. When I saw your post at Bugs I initially confused you with them. I'm still working on that little square with the arrow thing. Slightsmile (talk) 18:11, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Toddy1 seems like a solid editor and I think our names are sufficiently different that people will know the difference between us. I'll poll Toddy1 (talk · contribs) to be sure. Toddst1 (talk) 16:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

The first evidence of our existence on Misplaced Pages are as follows:

• Toddy1 17:18, 30 December 2006, which was a note telling me that the first article I wrote was tagged for speedy deletion.
• Toddst1 02:13, 2 May 2007, which was an edit to a page that still exists.

Unless you believe me to be a time-traveller, it is clear that I cannot have chosen my ID to impersonate you.--Toddy1 (talk) 17:25, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that only after I posted. I know I should have looked before posting but I don't think there's any harm done. Like I said, I initially thought the post on Bugs was Toddy1 - no big deal. Also I should have said more forcefully, "I'm sure Toddy1 isn't an imposter ...". If someone confused me to a name similar to mine I would be appreciative, not offended by someone pointing it out to either one of us. Slightsmile (talk) 17:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Pleased to meet you there Toddy1! Toddst1 (talk) 23:55, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

The Next Step Realty

I do not understand why this page is continually taken down/edited. I do not work for them, nor am I affiliated with them, so I do not understand how you can infer that there is a conflict of interest. Also, where in the page was it an advertisement? Everything in the page was purely informational with sources, you also claim the sources aren't good enough, how can that be when they come from bloomberg and the wall street journal? Your edits/deletion of my edits are absurd. At least explain exactly what is wrong and what needs to be fixed in order for my edits to remain, that is a lot more helpful than you just taking them down, and merely saying look at our guidelines, when I do not see myself making any of those errors. Thanks. Hockeyguy676 (talk) 14:40, 31 January 2011

As a new editor, how would you know "this page is continually taken down/edited"? Have you edited the page before? Toddst1 (talk) 16:40, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Because you have done it to my edits several times, at the last count I think my own edits have been changed 4 times Hockeyguy676 (talk) 19:54, 31 January 2011 (UTC)hockeyguy676 1/31/2011

You must be editing under multiple identities then, as you have only edited that article as Hockeyguy676 (talk · contribs) on January 27. See WP:SOCKS. Toddst1 (talk) 21:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Well I'm not, I've never edited on another profile. I do not understand the problem here, I made several edits to the same page "Next Step Realty" over the course of about 3 days. You or someone else repeatedly removed my edits, but never explained what the problem was. I merely want to know what I have to do in order for my edits to remain and what would constitute proper citing if the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg does not, for not only the page Next Step Realty but also for further edits. If you don't want to help me that is fine but understand, I am not trying to cheat you, I have never edited on Misplaced Pages before I worked on Next Step nor am I attempting to advertise for the company.

You're arguing about an article whose subject appears to be about as notable as my big toe? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:01, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more. Thanks BW. Toddst1 (talk) 15:55, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

P.S. I think I will opine Keep: in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bwilkins' big toe per WP:BIGTOE. Toddst1 (talk) 20:02, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Dude! You made coffee come up through my nose! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 13:31, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

As an admin you are more familiar with deletion procedures that I am. There is a redirect to the article on The Next Step Realty from Blair Brandt. If Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Next Step Realty results in the deletion of the article, will the admin who does the deletion also delete aliases that redirect to it, such as Blair Brandt? Or will I need to put a speedy delete tag on the redirect, once it redirects to nothing?--Toddy1 (talk) 18:46, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
