Re: DRB for Gonzalo Lira Comment

Hello, I've opened the dispute for Gonzalo Lira here. I have no opinion either way on this matter. I suggest that before you make any reverts or additions on Gonzo Lira you should divest them in that discussion. WP is a medium of consensus, so any edits or reverts from here on should be discussed, each item and it's source. I hope I can help you both to come to some type of agreement.JacobiJonesJr (talk) 06:19, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Editing of Your User Talk Page

I was uncertain of this and I checked; "Policy does not prohibit users, whether registered or unregistered users, from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred. The removal of material from a user page is normally taken to mean that the user has read and is aware of its contents."

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping.

Impressions of Misplaced Pages.

I am starting to agree with an assessment, supported by yet another dead link, "from" a Duke University professor that listed some major concerns about Misplaced Pages.

Basically;

--The only way that Misplaced Pages is any way useful, relates proportionally to the quality of the underlying primary source cited.

---"You may also be able to track opinions or deeper ideas back to their original sources."

--Unfortunately, primary references cannot be consistently found, cannot be properly organized, are of random quality, rarely are cited properly, or cannot retain persistence within an electronic framework.

For the most part, readers are consuming nothing more than entertainment self-promotion, and marketing all within a highly-dissonant-framework of ignorance and bias.

-And ignorance it is having actually read two position papers used as references to support opinions that did not even align in any way with the conclusions of either document. The position papers asking questions rather than drawing predisposed conclusions.

"--To the casual reader, much of Misplaced Pages appears adequate, but be warned, nothing can be trusted." Would you drive your car if you could not trust it to get from point A to B? The answer of course would be no.

Until I edited an entry or two I really did not realize how dangerously-worthless the sixth most popular internet site actually is. Experts get things wrong all the time, but a group of random ignoramuses will never get anything right.

I have closed accounts on other "top" sites including Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Linkden, Blogspot, and I don't use Ebay or Amazon, and try not to use Paypal. It looks life Misplaced Pages has to be on the ignore list as well simply because it is totally unreliable.

Personal attacks by MILH

I'm sorry that I did not fully grasp the depth of the situation when you alerted me on my talk page about the personal attacks being levied at you by user MILH. Now that I have had some time to research the issue, and I'm aware of these blatant and chronic violations, I have issued a strong warning on their user talk page. Misplaced Pages administrators will not tolerate such attacks, threats and bullying if they continue. You can view the warning and summary of the attacks here. I'm sorry that you have had to endure this abuse but hope that this misbehavior will now be corrected and we can all move on to our main purpose of improving the quality of the encyclopedia. Best, -- — Keithbob • Talk • 13:41, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Stubborn Entry

I had some bad luck selecting my first edit because it was "stubbornly" defend against all logic and reason.

Misplaced Pages as a Vanity Press

The use of Misplaced Pages as a Vanity Press is a fundamental misuse of this platform. A Misplaced Pages page can provide a legitimizing credential in and of itself.

-This is a clear example Marc Seifer providing an Example of a Vanity Resume-Like Entry, Do we need to know that Seifer was influenced by Kukla Fran and Ollie

Seifer and Jewish Messiah Claimants and Intractable Ebike Laws

Seifer

Lots of work on the Seifer entry and we have a fellow, to my surprise, that is in fact notable as an expert on Tesla. Seifer also appeals to a bunch of fringe-alien-conspiracy-ignoramuses who may have abducted his Misplaced Pages page and filled in up with fluff, or it could have been a vanity entry.. In any regards, it is now concise, factual, quality referenced, and polished. Lets see if it lasts!

Jewish Messiah Claimants

I was attacked by a Swarm of Yeshivas-ites who will debate and preserve theocratic special interest with to death. The oppression of this majority won out.

Intractable Ebike laws in NY

Vested interest (bias and ignoramuses) attempted to revert fact in re NYS electric bicycle laws to suit their own misguided purpose, for fun, or simply for dissonance-rationalizations sake. How long will the truth on this matter hold? Don't hold your breath!

Will Wiki-ignorance prevail

I think it will, you can lead a Misplaced Pages editor to the truth but you cannot make him think.
