Misplaced Pages:Harassment.

Harassment is defined as a pattern of offensive behavior that appears to a reasonable observer to have the purpose of adversely affecting a targeted person or persons, usually (but not always) for the purpose of threatening or intimidating the primary target. The intended outcome may be to make editing Misplaced Pages unpleasant for the target, to undermine them, to frighten them, or to discourage them from editing entirely.

Jean D'Mailly

KB: I just fell upon this article: it is a pure fake & should be deleted, don't you think? Cordialement, Frania W. (talk) 01:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC) (FW)

I believe it was in the process of being removed. --Kansas Bear (talk) 03:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it was a coincidence. It seems to me that the article was sending readers to other articles by clicking on blue-linked names, which leads me to believe some other "D'Mailly" individuals may have "wormed" their way into other wiki articles. Frania W. (talk) 13:18, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, when I stumbled on to the article, it was part of a fake genealogy involving Louis XI. While checking into that, which involved having you translate a piece on Louis XI's mistresses, I realized the information was very interwoven. I believe I found something about Jean d'Mailly briefly mentioned along with Ferry d'Mailly on Leo van de Pas' genealogy site. IIRC, I had asked an Admin to delete these articles, but nothing had come of it. The User:Dragoon1988, using an ANON IP as well, had created about 3 or 4 articles to promote a false genealogy. --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Here are two more created by Dragoon1988, --Kansas Bear (talk) 16:26, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Éléonore de Roucy & Madeleine de Mailly (not Maillé) are real historical figures. Madeleine's papa was Ferry II de Mailly. Find results by asking for Mailly in Éléonore de Roye, Princesse de Condé, 1535-1564, by Jules Delaborde:

Bonne lecture! Frania W. (talk) 03:15, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I know. This was part of the problem that I was facing. Sifting the fake individuals from the real individuals that simply had false information written into their articles!! Which is why I was trying to keep any false genealogy from being written into the Antoine de Bourbon(Navarre) article. --Kansas Bear (talk) 05:38, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

So all that remains is to keep vigilant for fakes planted in the biography of real individuals. Bon weekend! Frania W. (talk) 13:21, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed major reforms to decade articles

Hi - I noticed you have contributed recently to one or more of the decade articles (1990s, 1960s etc). I am proposing some major changes to these articles, as I have outlined in Talk:1990s#Suggested_reform_of_decade_articles, and I would be interested in hearing your views in the first instance. Thanks. Kransky (talk) 09:06, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
