Holy Land Map

"A 1759 map entitled The Holy Land, or Palestine, showing not only the Ancient Kingdoms of Judah and Israel in which the 12 Tribes have been distinguished, but also their placement in different periods as indicated in the Holy Scriptures by Tobias Conrad Lotter, Geographer. Augsburg, Germany"

I can't understand Latin, so I was wondering if you could shed some light on a particular point regarding this map. I'm particularly interested in the phrase, "also their placement in different periods as indicated in the Holy Scriptures". Does the Map give an indication of any specific date(s) that it is supposed to depict?

Also, just out of interest regarding your last comment on the talk page, are you aware of any other articles that present a similar fanciful Map in a section dedicated to the actual history of a region. Thanks, Dlv999 (talk) 10:56, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Greg Parke (politician)

The article Greg Parke (politician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject is not a notable politician, military officer or diplomat. Fails WP:POLITICIAN; WP:MILNG; WP:MILPEOPLE; WP:DIPLOMAT; WP:NRVE. Five bedroom bedroom B&B built by descendant of notable person seems more WP:SOAP.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

RfD about redirect you changed

Hi, there's currently an RfD going on about WP:ESSAY, which you retargeted, but I can't understand why you chose to do that. If you could comment on the issue, it would be helpful. --NYKevin @191, i.e. 03:35, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Why I reverted your changes to Saros (astronomy)

Your math is just plain wrong. Dividing 6585.3213 / 18 tells us nothing about the period of the saros. You have to multiply the difference you found by 18 to get the correct figure. The correct calculation is 6585.3213/365.242199 (one year) which indeed yields 18 years 11 days. As I did a reversion you will need to re-insert the info about the Antikythera(sp?) mechanism. Thanks. --TimL (talk) 13:25, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Kansas City Shuffle

Hello. In March of 2010 you edited Kansas City Shuffle and included a sentence that reads "The relevance to a direction stated at the beginning of a situation has no bearing to the outcome." Could you clarify that sentence, please? I don't understand what you were trying to say in that article. Thank you. 76.105.171.161 (talk) 07:12, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

internal logic listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Internal logic. Since you had some involvement with the internal logic redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

It has been kept, although I do not see any good reason for it on the RfD page. What is your opinion? You said, it should be replaced by some kind of stub for the non-mathematical meaning. And before there is a stub? Regards --Chricho ∀ (talk) 13:27, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Random IP troll

Keep your politics off Misplaced Pages, please, OK? Wiki isn't for your political positions on groups, it's for facts. Taking a position on the validity of their message is not what Wiki is about.

Well Done!

Proposed deletion of Chad_Kolton

Hello, Kendrick7. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Chad_Kolton, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Toasty (talk) 18:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Chad_Kolton

Hello, Kendrick7,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Chad_Kolton should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Chad_Kolton .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Toasty (talk) 18:54, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Special Operations OPSEC Education Fund, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bush administration (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I'm confused.

"Description: The Admin's Barnstar may be awarded to administrators who made a particularly difficult decision, did a tiresome but needed admin task, cleared some nasty backlog or just to show an administrator that you think they are doing good work in a particular area of "the job" and that their work is appreciated.

Disambiguation link notification for September 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tax returns of Mitt Romney, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gallup (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:36, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

September 2012

Your recent editing history at Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:53, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on . Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:58, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Blocked

Should another admin see fit to accept any unblock request, I suggest they place this user under a topic ban from 2012 Presidential Campaign articles per Misplaced Pages:General_sanctions/2012_Presidential_Campaign/Log.--v/r - TP 04:04, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Kendrick7 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

this is plainly ridiculous. All I've done is try to improve the encyclopedia by adding content

Decline reason:

You have edit-warred to attempt to insert a huge chunk of information deemed by other editors to give undue weight to one particular issue in a BLP. No successful unblock request ever started with "the others are wrong" and this will not be an exception. Drmies (talk) 04:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Kendrick7 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This is a joke. I'm being blocked for adding information to the project per WP:ENC

Decline reason:

You've also edit warred and edited tendentiously, ignored consensus, tried to game the system, displayed bad faith in mislabeling people who hold different opinions that you do vandals, etc. etc. Would it be that all you did here was try to add content. It was the manner in which you behaved in the process of trying to do so that is the reason for your block. If you wish to avoid being blocked, I would suggest choosing different actions, preferably ones that involve discussion and treating other editors and Misplaced Pages processes with respect.

Kendrick7 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

That is all nonsense. Consensus can't override our fundamental mission of being an encyclopedia. I will revert vandalism until my dying breath. How else to explain this?

Decline reason:

I'd give a laundry list of reasons why this was declined, but Drmies and Jayron32 already have. As you're clearly not listening, don't understand how Misplaced Pages works (per your "Consensus doesn't matter" statement), and either can't or won't tell what is vandalism from what isn't, instead posting three unblock requests that continue to insist that you've done nothing wrong, refuse to consider the mere possibility that you have, and promise continued disruption if unblocked, your talk page access has been revoked for the duration of this block. Further appeals may be sent to WP:BASC at arbcom-appeals-enlists.wikimedia.org. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:32, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

• There was no vandalism. You've been here long enough that you should know that, just as you should know that consensus is the name of the game. Keep playing the "joke/nonsense/plainly ridiculous" card and you'll never get unblocked; the next administrator can always decide to block talk page access since all you're doing is digging a deeper hole for yourself.
