"Misplaced Pages's articles are no place for strong views. Or rather, we feel about strong views the way that a natural history museum feels about tigers. We admire them and want our visitors to see how fierce and clever they are, so we stuff them and mount them for close inspection. We put up all sorts of carefully worded signs to get people to appreciate them as much as we do. But however much we adore tigers, a live tiger loose in the museum is seen as an urgent problem." --WP:TIGER

Only 993061841 articles left until our billionth article!

2014 main page redesign

Hi Guy Macon. I would have addressed this message to you at the talk page if you hadn't unwatched it. I don't know what the current state of the project is, but I created a design (what do you think of it?) that hid away most of the rubbish, but less so than you did in your design. I would actually rather the main page have your design, but apparently it's too different for the community to accept yet. For your information, I'm willing discuss changes to the process if/when you are. JamesDouch (talk) 14:08, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Re: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Shermer's last law

Seems to me that if it is discussed in Shermer's article, a redirect might work for now. Viriditas (talk) 02:18, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

You seem good humoured

...are you still interested in remediating disputes? There is a need at this Noticeboard, . Is the behaviour in question a COI and POV issue or not? Can a Prof write his own web page, wife assisting, making claims for primacy of discovery based on his own authored primary sources (in largest part), and not receive attention for COI, POV, and OR issues? (OR, because it is inherent in selecting between primary sources, to make claims regarding discoveries, etc.) Perhaps, because he is Harvard, it is OK. Who needs to know about the Neanderthal remarks controversy, anyway? If you have a constructive view, please feel free to chime in. Cheers, Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 21:55, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Guy Macon is suffering from physical health issues. This may affect his ability to work on Misplaced Pages. Consequently, he may not be able to respond to talk-page messages or e-mails in a timely manner. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

• For all who have expressed concern about my health, I thank you. Here is an update. It isn't anything life threatening (even though the overall death rate for humans is still 100%) -- more on the annoying side of things. I will still be able to edit Misplaced Pages, but I might disappear for a while at random times, so don't worry if you see that I haven't edited in a while. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:10, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Still recovering, but I am making progress. Looking forward to being able to work at WP:DRN. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

My health has improved and I am back on Misplaced Pages. I am going to spend some time skimming the history of a few pages that I am especially interested in, and then I will jump back in. Many thanks for all the messages sent wishing me well. They meant a lot to me. --Guy Macon (talk) 08:41, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

New discussion started at WP:RSN regarding dispute topic

Hi Guy,

There may be a good reason for this, but I feel like you should have been consulted before this discussion was started at WP:RSN. Thanks Ronnotel (talk) 19:10, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
