Happy as a pig in shit
Lourdes, sorry but I’ve opened a review on your block on Cassianto it’s heavy-handed and frankly embarrassing. - SchroCat (talk) 12:18, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- SchroCat Thanks for informing. Guess am late to respond. Warmly, Lourdes 00:52, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, hello Lourdes, I'm sure you'll know me so no introductions necessary. Firstly, thank you for blocking Eid-al Wiki, who made a disgusting accusation of antisemitism, levied at a friend of mine with not even so much as a diff. Well warranted, I say. With regards to my block (which embarrassingly for you was overturned within a few hours, oops), I have to say that it's a funny way of introducing yourself to someone with whom you have never met. I would've settled for a "hello" and a friendly clip round the ear, or a "hello" and a retraction plea, both with AGF in mind. Sadly, you chose the familiar route that some admins unfortunately go down which is to let the block button do the talking. Never a good move and in my experience, it always ends in tears. One does have to question the morality in you thinking that an unfounded personal attack of antisemitism is as bad as someone saying "happy as a pig in muck". I can only imagine that it was personal, but heaven knows why.
- I used to keep pigs. Lovely creatures. Not dirty in the least and very intelligent. It is true, they are at their happiest when rolling around in organic matter and belching from copious amounts of slop consumption, almost on an hourly basis. That doesn't make them bad. Certainly not akin to someone alleging that someone else is a raging antisemite with no evidence to show for it. Lastly, bless you, please take note for the future that I never appeal a block. I don't know what makes you think I need this place as much as you think I do, but frankly, I'd rather put my gentleman's vegetables in a food blender and roll around in TCP for week than to beg to come back here. It's a toxic place, but one I quite enjoy creating articles for - god only knows why! Anyway, no need to apologise, I shall mark this one up as an unfortunate slip on your behalf - I certainly won't judge you for it. Happy editing! Cassianto 16:59, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Cassianto, hello. Firstly, thank you for your positive contributions to Misplaced Pages; do please continue doing them. To be candid, I'm actually pleased that despite all your multiple blocks over your tenure, you continue to also edit productively here and invest a significant amount of time improving articles. I know it's an odd way to compare this to judicial systems but I think I see the logic that many editors are making – perhaps, making you improve articles is the community service that is required here, rather than a block... That every time you constructively contribute, is the time taken away from you that you may have invested elsewhere to follow your personal inclinations. In that light, I have to say, every time I would notice your positive contribution, would give me immense pleasure and personal joy. Thanks for dropping in. Keep editing. I'll keep watching and rolling over (with happiness please, not with laughter – but you know the difference) – Misplaced Pages needs you more now than ever ❤️ Love, Lourdes 00:52, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Well, your heavy-handed block now sits pride of place at the top of my block log, along with the other 12 or so that were non-warranted and found to be wrongly applied, made by other block-happy administrators. Thanks for that, and with not so much as even an apology. Cassianto 07:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, you're still loitering around here. That's a disappointment. I was hoping the last dressing down would have been enough. Like I advised earlier, go ahead and please continue your community service, rather than having your priorities wrong and getting repeatedly humiliated here. That it Cass, get going boy, on with your edits, tata. Lourdes 14:38, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, your ramblings of incoherent nonsense, above, was a "dressing down", was it? How hilarious. I don't quite know what it is that you do around here, other than to go around and piss people off by using the block button as a means to communicate, but whatever it is, go fourth and multiply. Actually, no, don't do that. I think one's enough. Cassianto 15:19, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- :) Like I said Cass, get over your infatuation with me and move on to improving articles. Don't start leaving childlike edits just because a pretty face has talked to you for the first time and given you some well-deserved advice. And you don't have to keep coming back here again and again just to talk to me – I am not the solution for your socialising issues. Think of all the people who are watching your contributions – you're making a wallowing mess of yourself. Let not the heading of this section become ironic. Stand up, clean up, move on. Go ahead and do what I and the community want you to do – improve articles. I'll be watching. Ta, Lourdes 22:45, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello
Good evening. You have been on-and-off in the past month or so. Are you busy in real life, or traveling in real life, or having health issues? Is everything all right? Robert McClenon (talk) 01:31, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

MSBS Grot article/edit warring
I would like to follow up on the admin board report regarding IP:91.237.86.201, I noticed the issue still is pending and sanctions have not taken against the IP, who despite being report continues to edit the article. The edits are highly misleading, and the statements are a combination of syntheses (leading to exaggerated claims) and undue weight. I understand the admins do not get involved in content disputed, but at this point the IP has also used curse words and leveled personal attacks against me, calling me a "lier" twice on the admin board page no less. Yet, despite this the IP was still not sectioned and continues to freely edit the article seeing that no one is paying attention. Also, user AstraLeap, who reported me, does not seem to be bothered that IP has just returned back to the article and is editing away despite being warned over restoring disputed content. I would ask that the IP is blocked, so that Misplaced Pages:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle is followed, and a meaningfull discussion is allowed to take place that can assess the accuracy of the statements vs. what the sources actually say, this cannot take place when IP is still editing and the questionable claims are left in place as a starting point. --E-960 (talk) 06:56, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Admin Recruitment ?
You and I were conferring a little more than a year ago about nominating me for admin, and then something distracted one or the other of us. Then I saw that you were editing intermittently, and was concerned that you either were busy in regular real life or were having health problems. Well, I am ready to try to go for admin again.

GiantCheeseBall/Doubledoppler
Earlier today I noted User:GiantCheeseBall as a potential additional sock in this SPI regarding User:Doubledoppler. I note that you blocked GiantCheeseBall shortly afterwards, as a sock, and that you subsequently engaged at this AN/3 that they had raised and in which Doubledoppler was also mentioned. I'm wondering if you're knowledge could be brought to bear on the SPI. Do you have information as to who GCB is a sock of and is DD one of the identities?

- A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
- A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the
delete-redirectuserright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Misplaced Pages:Page mover/delete-redirect. - A request for comment asks if sysops may
place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions

RFA, again
Evidently you had my RFA draft watchlisted. I will try to revise as you suggest.
As to the RFA, there were two RFAs. The first was in 2006, and I do not mention it, and I am ready if asked to say that it was a case of WP:TOOSOON. The second was in 2017. The community did wind up being wrong, and I will try to find some way to say nothing, probably that there seemed to be some misunderstanding. I can also say that I think that the views of the community on undisclosed paid editing have evolved so that they are more consistent with what have been my views.
More in the near future. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Noted with thanks Robert. Let me see the second RfA too. Thanks, Lourdes 11:26, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Note
Lourdes, I am hoping you will reevaluate the accuracy of this statement: “Editors like Colin were claiming that readers would want to know more about fringe medical solutions, and therefore that Misplaced Pages articles should report these, even if MEDRS were unavailable to Misplaced Pages's standards.” Not only did Colin not do that in that discussion; Colin would never do that (claim that we should add content based on non-MEDRS statements). I fear that in the best interests of everyone, including WP:MED, Colin and RexxS, it would be helpful not to introduce inaccuracies that may lead others to feel they must become involved in this case to defend themselves. Perhaps you can look at what Colin was actually saying there and find a way to re-phrase that statement? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:06, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Sandy, I have removed Colin's name and instead linked his comment. My apologies if the structure sounds off. I'll try and improve it in a few hours. Love, Lourdes
- Thanks, Lourdes ... most appreciated, in the interest of not having the issues balloon. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:25, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry to further exercise this, but I am puzzled by your statement "that one normally blocks a bot first only if it is running automatically." I don't see support for that position at WP:BOTBLOCK, and tend to feel, with many of those who commented at the time, that blocking CitationBot would have been the preferable remedy for that situation. I've never blocked a bot, so it's certainly possible that I'm not au fait with policy, guideline and custom on the subject; where should I look to find a basis for this?
