 | I'm currently evaluating my participation in the English Misplaced Pages and am therefore not likely to be very active or respond to messages in a timely manner. While editing Misplaced Pages is a hobby, it has become an increasingly frustrating one. I don't think my expectations of an encyclopaedia match with that of the community. There will always be issues with large projects such as this but at present there are a few points that highlight the chasm between the two lines of thought. Primarily, the creation of good encyclopaedic content seems to have taken a backseat. Secondly, the Foundation's attitude towards content development in the project, especially that of publicly taking sides in disputes etc, in the process disrupting an already fragile ecosystem here. Over the past few months I haven't been as active as I was earlier, but every time I come back I see examples of why it's no longer enjoyable -- blocks of excellent editors, a resistance to handle POV pushing effectively and such. |

User talk:Karthik Subramaniam
Hi, can you keep an eye over this user. He has been creating many imaginative films, many of which were already tagged for del. Also, an IP fan of Jyothika keeps introducing false claims on the article and other related pages. —Vensatry (Ping me) 11:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- I've handles the articles, we had a similar Kannada actor last month. Prashant something. Is this the same Jyothika vs Simran IP war that happened a while ago? —SpacemanSpiff 11:51, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- I guess both are one and the same. —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:13, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Indira Gandhi
if her page is not an example of persistent vandalism I dont know what is! any chance we can preempt all the coming edit wars and petty vandalism by a giving the page a protected status again? Cliniic (talk) 19:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

I saw you give that user Tathya The a warning for fringe material. can you please kindly take a look into the Pranab Mukerji article? A user inserted a Subash Chandra Bose conspiracy theory. I have been meaning to delete it but wasnt sure if outright deleting it would be ok. Cliniic (talk) 19:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'll take a look later when I have time, but in such cases, the quickest option especially in BLPs is to post on WP:BLP/N and any controversial and unsourced/dubiously sourced content can be removed from BLPs. As far as this issue is concerned, if the disruption becomes difficult you can request protection at WP:RFPP. —SpacemanSpiff 03:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
I don't understand why you guys want to portray only positives of Indira. Feroze's original surname was Ghandhy, which has been suggested by Mr. Arun Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi's grandson, on record . Yet, you would call it a conspiracy!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tathya The (talk • contribs) 19:57, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- Please find reliable sources and bring up on the talk page, get consensus. Right now, what you're presenting is just a fringe viewpoint that doesn't merit real estate in any of the articles you're trying to add to. —SpacemanSpiff 03:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
