Sydney crime figures

Hello Sarah, congrats on your Sallie-Anne Huckstepp article and the Roger Rogerson update. Just wanted to let you know that I'm also interested in this area (done minor clean-ups of the existing Neddy Smith and Roger Rogerson ones without really expanding them) and that perhaps we could work together or at least stay across each other's contributions. I'm midway through a draft of a new article for the Blue Murder show and was planning to more fully update the Neddy Smith article. I see you were planning a Chris Flannery article - which I look fwd to - and seems to me with your knowledge of Huckstepp you'd be the logical person to pen a Warren Lanfranchi article. Anyway, let me know your thoughts... Cheers, Ian Rose 00:24, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi again Sarah, re. stepping on toes with Neddy Smith, no not at all, I hadn't stated my update yet. Thought I'd done a little clean-up of it previously as I did with Rogerson but obviously didn't save it (happens now and then, I tend to have two or three related articles open at once and now and then forget one of 'em). I might look at Abo Henry or Mick Drury after I finish Blue Murder. Cheers, Ian Rose 01:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sarah... Steve Bastioni, eh? I'm impressed! Many thanks re. the Drury book - I should have a copy I can dig out but good to have your offer too just in case. Cheers, Ian Rose 21:01, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

As another Australian crime writer here at Misplaced Pages, I'd like to say well done on your contributions. They're all top rate. -- Longhair 11:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Your contributions are nice. You deserve the praise. Nice work with Flannery. He was next on my list. I can take a day off now ;) -- Longhair 11:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Uir

dear sarah ewart

my name is uir (i also post as Opy67), i have been mixed up with dante 26. he has taken credit for most of my articles including the fulco scorvella article. the reason for this is that we both use the same public computer. as i have said before, the information in my articles is all true. the vandalism and italianised names cannot be blamed on either of us i'm afraid. your friend zoe will not respond to me.

-Uir, February 27, 2006

I'm sorry but I'm just not interested, Dante. I gave you the benefit of the doubt last time and you repaid me by continuing your vandalism. I warned you that Zoe was not an idiot. I'm glad she's not responding to you. Please stop wasting my time. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 22:18, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Meetup in March

I see that you are listed as a participant in the WikiProject Melbourne. If you are a Melbourne resident I would appreciate your views on the suggested Meetup in March . Please give some indication of your interest, or otherwise, in the idea. Even a simple "No thanks" with your user name would be welcome and assist in assessing the level of support for a meetup. Thank you.. Cuddy Wifter 06:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Thanks

Thanks Sarah, the Jieh page is looking real good, it is still my best draft at the moment, and I should be adding more and editing pretty soon as time goes on because there is alot more to add to it. I just need you to help me out in referencing some of the parts from some texts that I have. Do I just put all the references down the bottom? Or do I have to number them as I use them in the actual page? Thanks!! You're a great help by the way! (Prince Cadmus II 02:11, 3 March 2006 (UTC)) ---Sarah this Jieh page is looking awesome!!!! It looks so professional now!! I should be paying you for this Sarah, thanks so much for the time you spent on it.. I'll be looking for more things to add bit by bit, but right now you have literally gone straight out and satisfied my first draft right to the end...! Well done! What do you think of me adding some more photos? Is it best to have a mini photo album space, or to just place them in relevant locations between the relating text? (Prince Cadmus II 13:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC))

Sarah, what should I do to add Meta Tags to the Jieh page? I would like google for example to pick it up as one of the first few websites when searching for "Jieh" for instance.. is it possible in here? Or does Google automatically crawl the web and do it? Thanks!

Reverts

I reverted the "not smart" comment, and then self-reverted because I noticed it wasn't vandalism, but an unsigned comment by an anon you were having a discussion with. Sorry about that. —Viriditas | Talk 02:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for your thoughtful message. I appreciated it. And I totally agree with you about the anonymity thing, I think it's strange when the more serious editors maintain pseudonyms. Perhaps this culture will change. I hope so. I find it esp. odd that non-registered users are called anonymous when in fact it's those with pseudonyms who are very anonymous, certainly less so than those whose IP address is displayed.DarrenRay 15:48, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

It is a small world! I generally found the people there to be very good. Although Dr Daines certainly has a few questions to answer as Ben pointed out. I am sure he could make a small fortune as long as he started out with a big one. DarrenRay 21:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Michael Jackson

I appreciate the suggestion however I’ve frequently discussed this issue in talk section. Surely you must have discussed your recent edit in the talk page also. Siddhartha21 10:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

My edit was to maintain the status quo. I was not changing content against consensus. Nor was I edit warring. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:27, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

If an issue is disputed, it will be edited accordingly and this issue is in fact disputed. Siddhartha21 10:41, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Then address it on the talk page. The other editors appear to have reached a consensus which does not support your editing. In the last day-and-a-half or so, you've removed the same words 6 times, with no contributions to the talk page. Edit warring is bad. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Well considering I was the last person to comment on this in the discussion area, there is little to be gained by replying to myself. Siddhartha21 11:02, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

The other editors have reached a consensus; you need to work with them instead of trying to impose and enforce your own POV. As it is your edits are only lasting for a short while before they get reverted. You're just wasting your time. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 11:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes I'd love some info or any books names/articles you could bring up. I have Portsmouth library nearby, if you cite books i'll get hold of them.--Manboobies 01:40, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I've considered this, and I want information on Jackson's Sony/ATV finance deals, but more importantly, I want lots of information on his 80's spending, especially his purchase of Neverland, and more importantly (hardly mentioned in the article) Hayvenhurst.--Manboobies 08:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

PS, where do you think I should take the whole constantly removing Wacko Jacko thing, where do you go before you go to Arbitration? I'd love your advice on what would be appropriate in the short term, constant vandalism of that lead is putting me off from making it decent... And I feel Streetwalker's not touching it with a 10 foot bargepole for the same reason (although I'd have to ask why really).--Manboobies 08:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Jesus is the biggie, of course. Pope Benedict XVI get them, too. I've just started to RC Patrol, however, and my edits have been focused on things that raise the temperature a bit for people who care about them, but don't seem to attract the scribble kiddies. If I notice a few, I'll add them. I've been going for some rather odd watch list items -- cow and chicken, Presidents of the US and writers. Well, I just wanted to say, g'day and that your efforts are fair dinkum. ;-) --CTSWyneken 11:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Ensign Ewart

Sadly no. Information on Ewart is pretty patchy, since he came from an obscure background, though if you go back to 1700s sources you might find something. But since you're in Melbourne, that's kind of ruled out... Shimgray | talk | 19:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

you editors on wikipedia should not let people edit your articles. anyone can fuck with anything on them and then you have to waste your time fixing it.

We're just better and faster than vandals at reverting vandalism, and there are more of us. Plus - we trust all editors to make constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages until they prove that we shouldn't. Werdna648/_C\ 05:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hi. I am sorry to bother you but I wondered if you might be prepared to take another look at my RfA nomination. The main reason that I ask this is because there has previously been some confusion as to my talk count and I also wonder if there might have been some confusion regarding the duration of my contributions. I would also like to comment on some of the concerns raised by others, which I have discussed on the nomination page, but which you may not be aware of.

Firstly with regard to my talk contributions and the duration of my contributions. I just wanted to clarify that I do have substantial numbers of contributions in the user talk namespace although significantly less in the main article and wikipedia talk namespace, so I do have a good history of interactions with other users but primarily on their user page (furthermore I have a good track record of warning vandals - something is often lacking for many vandal fighters both admin and non-admin). Regarding the duration of my contributions, I just wanted to clarify that I have now been contributing for 15 months in total and, although I have had a few "lean" months when my focus have been outside of Misplaced Pages, I had almost 2000 contributions before February and there have been 9 months when I have made 100+ contributions.

WIth regards to the concerns raised by other, which aren't covered by the above, they seem to relate primarily to my lack of contributions to the article talk and wikipedia talk namespaces and what this says about my community involvement and exposure to process. Firstly I would like to say that I don't think my contributions in this area are particularly low when compared to other current nominees and recently created admins who are/were heavily supported (I have provided some details on this in the comments section of the nomination) - as I said in the comments section this is not to say "they are supported so why aren't I", rather it is just to provide a benchmark to compare how common my contribution pattern is. Secondly I would like to point out that I do not typically revert vandalism in these namespaces which I believe play a significant part in the number of these contributions for vandal-fighter editors (especially in the article talk namespace). Finally I would just like to reiterate my personal opinion that, regarding edits to Misplaced Pages talk, contributing and understanding are different things (i.e. I do understand the policys and guidelines even though I have not actively contributed to them). With regard to my community involvement, I do have a fair number of edits to the mian Misplaced Pages namespace and also the user talk namespace as previously mentioned.

I understand that contacting you in this way may well be considered "campaigning" but I want to assure you that I am driven by good practical intentions rather than ego. As you will be aware, I am primarily a vandal fighter and I feel that the admin tools will allow me to far better serve the community in this area. Specifically I come across a lot of situations were there are very few editors on RC patrol and a lot of vandalism is being missed, this is compounded by the fact that AIAV is often not being heavily monitored during the same periods meaning that blocks are delayed and a lot of time is spent reverting vandals who have already received a final warning. This extra time spent reverting known vandals obviously mean that much new vandalism is missed - with the obvious effect on the quality and credibility of Misplaced Pages.

I would like to sum by saying that I feel I could make good use of the tools and that I have never done anything to raise concerns that I would misuse them. Cheers TigerShark 20:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Siddhartha21

Siddhartha21 is still edit warring over the "Wacko Jacko" issue, despite the fact that the voting tally at present stands at 10 keep and 4 remove. I've about had enough of him. Also, I feel very suspicious of all the redlinked names and IPs commenting on the Jackson talk page. Have you noticed this? Is it normal for that particular page?

Yeah, I'm getting slightly annoyed by his constant edit warring now. Another user has mentioned mediation and I think if it continues after another week of votes, if the result is keep WJ, then it will have to go to mediation. As for the red links it may be users repeatedly logging in anonymously to vote. As there are no other contributions from these editors, I think that the opinions should not be counted, but I am not sure of Wiki policy on this. Do you? Funky Monkey 21:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Sarah -- have I been out of line? I know I've been very aggressive at maintaining things pending an overall concensus, but what's right is right. I'd like to think that I've been editing in good faith. I get the distinct impressino that Siddhartha21 has not and will not. I've called for some Admins to take a look, but I'm guessing that an RfC is probably the next step. Would that be a separate topic? I'm pretty much feeling my way around through here. Thanks! --Mhking 12:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

You claim I’m dictating my views on the Michael Jackson issue while at the same time you flat out command me to cease my quarreling. You don’t see me harassing people while making ridiculous demands do you? Forgive me Lady Sarah but your hypocrisy is killing me. Siddhartha21 23:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Alright you win, I’m pathetic for using sarcasm and you’re a hypocrite. Now how about you get back to expressing your views on the Michael Jackson talk page instead of posting rude and disruptive messages on my user talk page? I hope we can now move on from this unproductive bickering you started because the role of troublemaker just doesn’t suit you. Siddhartha21 04:01, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Nursing

Hi, I see you are a nurse. I am a student nurse, and despite being busy seem to have spent the last week fiddling here. Is it just me or are the nursing articles... not very good. I just haven't time to do any more than fiddling at the moment. I see WP:MED exists, perhaps I'll look into it.

Random message, sorry - just following links as is the wikipedia way for me.

Australian Expatriate cats

Hi Sarah, I wonder if your definition of expatriate as presently "residing in a foreign country" is a little too narrow. In the Category:British expatriates under the sub-category Category:British people in China it states A list of notable British people who have lived in or visited China. There are a number of people, who are long deceased, included in this category. I believe the category should include any person who for some period of their life resided outside of their native country. Without a category definition of "presently residing in a foreign country", for expatriate categories, I see nothing wrong with including former expatriates. Regards Cuddy Wifter 02:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Why do you make a distinction between the present and the past in relation to expatriates. We don't have seperate categories for present and former Football Players or Cyclists or Artists. In a category of expatriates I would expect to find people who were former ex-pats as well as present ex-pats. If we go by your definition of ex-pat, then whenever someone dies or returns to their home country, we must delete them from the ex-pat category. I do not see this as logical. Where would I find former ex-pats other than in a category of "Expatriates" or do we require another category of "Former Expatriates" for people who die or return home. Your comment that "two mistakes don't make a right" assumes that you are right and everyone else is wrong. Is it possible that you are wrong? Regards Cuddy Wifter

I was under the impression that you could offer an alternative opinion on a discussion page without getting your head bitten off. I will refrain from so doing, should I cross your path, in the future. Regards Cuddy Wifter 06:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Criss Angel

Hey Sarah,
Lately, there has been an excessive number of edits removing Criss Angel's birth name and birth date from the article. I know they are trying to respect Criss' wishes of privacy, but they don't seem to, or want to understand that Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, and verifiable information should be included.
Also, I have read on the official Criss Angel message boards that some members are "recycling" IP Address to avoid the threat of being blocked.
This immature behavior needs to stop.
What can be done to help resolve this issue?
I would also like to thank you for your help at keeping the article in check, It is much appreciated. :)

Sarah, noted your revert on Knox Grammar School to the Apple Rumour section without making any additional comments to the talk page. Being a former student at the school only a couple of years after the supposed incident I will admit my potential / perceived bias upfront.

The section has always been the most debated on the page and has always been totally based on rumour and unverifiable. Per User:Demas very well argued comments and some other recent comments I added to the page following someone leaving a contribution on my talk page, I determined to remove the paragraph to the talk page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Moa999 (talk • contribs) 09:02, June 20, 2006 (UTC)

RfA/Agateller

Why on earth would I want to meddle with other people's signatures? Some of them are hard enough to read as it is! --Folajimi 17:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Ah. The culprit here happens to be the only manner by which I could correspond on that page; the conventional tool seems to choke on the sprawling page size. I will be sure to notify the affected parties on the appropriate talk page. --Folajimi 17:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Changed it once after it closed. Sorry if it offended you, wasn't my intent. -- Samir धर्म 10:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much for replying. I was feeling utterly horrible for the past few days for fear that I offended you. Take care and a belated happy birthday. -- Samir धर्म 06:01, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Quick question

Thanks for the welcome. I was wondering how to tell how many google hits a particular page has gotten. Someone made a reference to a certain # of google hits that I page I created had gotten. I'd like to be able to check it myself. Suggestions? CDaniel 20:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Winhunter

Hello Sarah, would you mind telling me your desired editing summary usage for an admin candidate? I understand my current edit summary usage in major edits doesn't look good, and I tried very hard to improve on that situation. My edit summary usage in major edits have risen from 27% since the RFA voting begins -> 51% as of now. Of course, if this is still under your standards then you are more than welcomed to oppose my RFA, I deserve it. --WinHunter 17:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I'm the one who removed the link to the EU (I'm also the one who originally linked it) as I don't think it has a direct enough relation to IFEX. A better link could be: http://www.ec.europa.eu/justice_home/unit/charte/en/charter-freedoms.html Tibetibet

Google hits

G'day Sarah,

thanks for your message. I apologise for the late reply; exams and work have conspired against me here.

By "google hits", there's two things I can think of, here. The first is how many other webpages spidered by Google link to a particular Misplaced Pages article. One way to find this out is to enter the URI of a particular page into Google (e.g. our article on Sir Bruce Levy), then click "Find pages that link to (your URI)". This isn't 100% accurate, but it has the advantage that anyone can do it.

The second way is to read the server logs to find out how many hits to a particular page on the server are the result of visitors using a search engine. This is, alas, not possible for you and I. Cheers, fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 11:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thank you

Your reverts in Michael Jackson article

I see that you have decided to revert my edits again despite the fact that I asked you to please see the discussion as to why the word 'comeback' does not necessarily mean it is successful. Here's the link to the relevant section in the talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Michael_Jackson#A_.27Comeback.27_does_not_necessarily_mean_it_will_be_successful Dionyseus 21:08, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your vote in my RFA, which succeeded with a final tally of 66-0-4. If there's anything I can help you with now that I'm an admin, please let me know on my talk page. Again, thanks! Mangojuice 21:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

You were right to revert the edits - no problems here :) Cheers, Rogerthat 12:14, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

MJ or whatever

Really? I hadn't noticed. He seems to be bigging you up thought, so he obviously has no idea it's him. Are you sure? Just because they don't sign comments? He looses all his arguments anyway!--Crestville 09:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from Northenglish!

Concerned about accusations against me...

Hello Sarah, I just wanted to come and mention that I'm a little concerned about the accusations put forth towards me over at the Michael Jackson page. I've been told that I have not been signing my comments. However, I sign all the time. I admit there have been a few occasions where I have forgotten so I've gone back and added my signature as much as possible. The reason I'm so concerned is that there is a user posting defamatory comments who does not sign their comments and is currently only being seen as an IP address. I would hate to think that someone like this gets away with this behaviour whereas myself, admittedly a Jackson fan but only someone who is trying to keep up the Wiki policies of no unsourced defamatory comments on either articles or discussion pages gets in trouble. I noticed on the Crestville discussion page that you thought that I was playing ignorant or that I was acting strange. I honestly had no idea I was one of the people in question. I just felt that the changes made by I'll Bring the Food were worth while. Please, if there are any issues contact me and I will try to work things out. I'm only trying to help. Also, if you would be so kind as to look into this "mystery poster" who has been littering the page with defamatory comments and not signing their posts and posting as just an IP I would be very greatful. They are causing problems at other places as well, including the vandelism of some userpages. :: ehmjay 04:36, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, you more or less did accuse me over at Crestville's userpage. Secondly the IP is static (195.93.21.66). They are also posting defamatory uncited comments which according to Misplaced Pages policies is not allowed - "Unsourced or poorly sourced negative material about living persons should not be posted to articles or talk pages. If you find any, please remove it immediately.". To see examples of his comments all one has to do is just browse the page however here are some of the examples. (You'll notice he makes a personal attack at me - calling me a closet homosexual), , , . As I said, I'm only trying to assit in the editing process of this site. I have so far made no changes to the Michael Jackson page because I would discuss anything before I went ahead and did so. As for my troubles signing comments, I'm going back and signing the few that I have forgotten, however please take into consideration that I am fairly new to the discussion pages and forgot a few times early on. :: ehmjay 16:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Update - I've gone and added my signature to the 4 previously unsigned comments. Also, I would point you in the direction of and look at the final comment. It certainly is out of line (although yes I realize that this is a different page, and different rules since brando is no longer living but there must be some rule against these sorts of comments) :: ehmjay 16:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for formatting. I feel dumb. :( — The King of Kings 07:14 July 08 '06

Anna Svidersky

Thanks for congrats. Re. deleting his edit summary - I didn't realise I had! Next to his name at the top of the article was a link saying "rollback" which I'd not seen before, so I clicked it to see what would happen! It brought up the article, and I didn't realise I'd changed anything. I presume this is the result of being sysopped? I'd be grateful if you could fix it. Yours, newbie admin.... Tyrenius 10:56, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think what happened was that it reverted the edit and the summary, but, although the summary said "fix typo", there are no visible differences between the two edits, so it looked as though the edit hadn't been reverted. I presume rollback automatically reverts both the edit and the summary. If any more strange bottles appear in Wonderland saying "drink me", I shall resist the temptation till I've examined the contents. Tyrenius 11:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

PS I have now spotted 'protect', 'delete' and 'move'. It's all beginning to make sense! Tyrenius 11:11, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

PPS Sorry to make a mess of your talk page. I misread your first message to me, and thought you were talking about the main article, and that I had somehow reverted an edit summary and not the actual edit. I see you were talking about the talk page, not the article. It all makes sense. (Late night.) Anyhow, if I can be of help as an admin, let me know! Tyrenius 11:22, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Admin

I've noticed you around, and wasn't sure if you were an admin. I see from the list that you're not, but I think you're suited to being one. A drawback for some people would be only 2,200 edits, but you've been here for 10 months with good edit summary usage and I think your contributions show a sensible and knowledgeable outlook, as well as balanced participation in project space and main name space. I'd be happy to nominate you, if you feel ready and wish it. Tyrenius 13:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I would second! --Bhadani 14:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem, and no hurry. Best to do things properly. Get back to me when/if you wish. Tyrenius 08:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Your Userpage

I reverted a bit of vandalism by Litch. I just thought you should know so that you can be on the look out. =) Srose (talk) 14:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Lovely. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to keep an eye on it. Hope all turns out in your favor - I'm sure it will. =) Srose (talk) 17:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
