Texas Bar Sunset review...
The Sunset Review of the State Bar of Texas is very significant. Why have you repeatedly deleted a link to the best website about the subject? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prizes fan (talk • contribs) 05:33, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
- @Prizes fan: Not, it's not. It's your website, with your views, and nothing special. In other words, the average blog. You need to get consensus on the article talk page before adding it to the article again. You may also want to try convincing people at the reliable source noticeboard that it's a viable source for Misplaced Pages. Good luck on both of those. Ravensfire (talk) 15:13, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
- The website links to various external sources that are accepted by the Texas Bar, itself, as well as by the Texas legislature, mainstream media and ABA. There's nothing "average" about that website. Do you have authority to keep removing such a progressive portal of truth? If so, precisely what?
- First, please sign your talk page posts by adding four tildes (like this: ~~~~) so people will know who left a particular comment without having to look at the page history. (There's a button on the editor page that makes this very easy) Secondy, just as you are, I'm an editor on the english Misplaced Pages and when I see someone adding something that's contrary to the policies and guidelines, it will be removed. Your site clearly is not a reliable source and clearly should not be used as an external link on Misplaced Pages. I understand that you want it to get the widest possibly exposure, but It's simply not appropriate for Misplaced Pages. I've already pointed you to the reliable source page, also review the external link page, especially WP:ELNO - hint, #11. You can use the external link noticeboard if you'd like another view, but simply put, your website isn't notable or useful for a Misplaced Pages article. Ravensfire (talk) 02:01, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- It is not a blog, fan page or personal website. It is a portal to official information and cutting edge analysis that are all from, or legally recognized by, state authorities. The page is 100% nonprofit, and maintained by attorneys who seek to enable to public to learn what they can about a remarkably little-known topic. You evidently have no special right to keep removing it. It is suspected that you have a conflict of interest, which when discovered and exposed will make you wish you had not abused the trust that Misplaced Pages placed in you (and the rest of us). We are on the verge of reporting you, and anyone who lets you mistreat others' well-meaning endeavors like you've repeatedly done. If you do not respond sufficiently persuasively, you will be reported and litigation may very well emerge until you are dealt with like you deserve. Prizes fan (talk) 08:22, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, we're done here. You are stooping to legal threats on Misplaced Pages and will be reported to WP:ANI. They will handle your actions from here. Ravensfire (talk) 15:08, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Lovely message from a spammer
Excuse Me (MR. & MRS) Ravensfire, I think You are the same person who is doing double job as Ason27, Sorry if not. But when I do good editing.you are discouraging me. Ason27 edits are not same as me. He violates some pages. When I add some point he-she knowingly attacking it by his own fake things.Ason27 is definitely a Shriya Saran Fan and Revathi Fan. I edited the vandalism on fan excitement by Ason27 on the pages of Shriya Saran and Revathi.

- Tsk, tsk! Such language there, Deepak90saini. I left you a warning on your talk page for the personal attack, no more of those please. Kindly apologize for that post before we interact any further - I do not discuss matters with people who feel insults are a way to start a discussion. Ravensfire (talk) 23:26, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
recent deletions by you
I added some definitions from the tax code. Why would you not include them as they are taken directly from the tax code? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.87.102.89 (talk) 17:03, March 14, 2017
- What you added is called original research. You added a fact backed by a primary source, then made conclusions not mentioned by that source. It's also a garbage idea promulgated by conspiracy laden tax protester websites. Hint - "includes" does not mean a full and complete list. The definition is there so that a person. Find a solid reliable source that makes that claim, and sorry, the various tax protester websites that loudly proclaim this aren't reliable sources - I linked you to our page on what is and is not a reliable source. You won't even be able to find a court case where this has worked because it hasn't. Ravensfire (talk) 22:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- This section about court rulings on various statutory arguments may prove insightful for you. And yes, it applies to the argument you've copied from some tax protester website. Ravensfire (talk) 22:21, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- And for more general education, there's a nice discussion on this forum that includes some specific court cases on this exact point and the intention of the definition. Here's a link to on such case where your exact argument was raised. And held as legally frivolous, noting the multiple previous cases that have debunked that theory, resulting in the person who made the argument being fined an additional $10,00 for raising such a patently frivolous argument.

Thank You So Much Ravensfire
Saxenaaditi81 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2017 (UTC) Hi Ravensfire, Thank you so much for your kind guidance. I wasn't aware with this, so again thanks for letting me know. I will keep this in mind for future editions. Before that, I will go through the guidelines you mentioned on my talk pages. I am actually new here, so apologies. I have so many questions in my mind but before asking I think I should first go through the editorial guidelines first. My be I get more of my answers there. Thank You so much for your kind support.
Best Regards, Aditi Saxena

How to earn money from Misplaced Pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.247.10.96 (talk) 23:16, April 27, 2017
- Well, spamming doesn't work, as Misplaced Pages links are set as NOFOLLOW so Google and other search engines ignore them when calculating rank. So if that's what you had in mind, please don't. I'm not a fan of paid editing as frankly the articles from paid editors are garbage, existing only to promote the subject and require substantial cleanup. Ravensfire (talk) 04:20, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
Thanks!
It's nice to see your name in the world of Indian cinema articles. I'm not sure how you feel about that, but I think you're a conscientious editor and we could use more of those in our Indian film articles. So thanks for your good gnoming.

Indian universities - cell phone spam
Morning! I noticed you ran into some of the recurrent cell phone spam issues that have been playing out on a number of Indian university pages. This appears to be a (possibly malicious/fraudulent) business (this guy ) who is trying to syphon off prospective students. It has been going on for about three weeks now, and apparently a range block is not possible. MelanieN has been mole-whacking vigorously, but the guy is nothing if not persistent. If you come upon any more of these, could you please let her know at her talk page? User_talk:MelanieN#Add_one_to_semi-protected_institutes_please.3F Cheers! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:34, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Elmidae: Absolutely! I've been wondering what was going on with those random numbers and this explains it nicely. Thanks! Ravensfire (talk) 18:18, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching the latest lot! Currently being dumped on Drmies, reported them there for semi . --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:22, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
COI Tag on Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo
Reading the talk page edits on Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo revealed to me that they put it there over a year ago because of conflicts with a few editors bickering back and forth. Is it still needed though? Also Is it appropriate to expand the career background listing her education as per what college she attended? Thx! Wikiafrican (talk) 06:32, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, it should stay. Part of that is I strongly suspect that you also need to review the COI rules and declare you COI for that article. Oh wait, you've been blocked for that already. Ravensfire (talk) 12:51, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

- Replied on their talk page. Ravensfire (talk) 16:10, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- Do you think you are doing right. You don't even have a page. Why you do the Unwanted things which you think awesome. Shame on you.
— Preceding unsigned comment added by GOOD morning (talk • contribs) 10:12, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
- @GOOD morning: We're done here - next post is to the edit-war noticeboard. You don't understand that Misplaced Pages is a collaborative environment. When you get reverted, you need to discuss it on the talk page and NOT keep pushing your preferred version until that discussion is finished. You've been blocked already for edit-warring and show zero signs of changing your approach. Your continued hostility personal attacks is not helpful. Ravensfire (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering refspam
That site may as well get blacklisted. Jacob Carter is only the latest in a long line of editors spamming it into that and other articles. DMacks (talk) 19:12, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- I'm shocked, shocked to find that spamming is going on here! I'll get the blacklist entry created later today, before Claude Rains's ghost takes umbrage at abusing his perfect quote. Ravensfire (talk) 19:28, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- I almost didn't recognize it at first because I've never really seen spam anywhere on Misplaced Pages before, and especially not test-prep sites. DMacks (talk) 19:32, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- Dangit! Now you've gone an broken another perfectly good spam-o-meter! At least the blacklist report makes me feel better. After all, every time a spammer cries ...Ravensfire (talk) 19:46, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Get me Off of this site
How do I get a page written about me and my history off of Misplaced Pages. I am looking to have the content written about me off of the site because it's one sided and damaging to my reputation and name. Is there a legal department for Misplaced Pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.0.211 (talk) 18:45, July 24, 2017
- @24.46.0.211: I'm assuming you're referring to Jerry Speziale. If that's you, that rather explains the white-washing. An article on a person should reflect an accurate picture of that person, warts and all. We're not here to present a purely favorable view of a person, but a nuetral view, meaning it reflects the views expressed by independent, reliable sources, in relative weight of that coverage. For pretty obvious reasons, Misplaced Pages STRONGLY discourages article subjects from editing their article - see WP:COI. So far, all I've seen from you is continued white-washing of Speziale and that's not productive. Read the COI page I linked to for some advice. As to the legal threat you insinuated, first, please read our policy on legal threats. Misplaced Pages obviously cannot prevent anyone from taking legal action, nor does it try. It can, however, prevent those who use legal threats from editing Misplaced Pages as it's completely contrary to the collaborative editing approach. If you want to contact Misplaced Pages, your best option is the WP:Contact us - Subjects, just follow the advice there. Please be aware that under Misplaced Pages's notability policy, there's essentially zero chance of the page being deleted. Finding good reliable sources that help create a better article will help and can result in changes, but given the strong history of obvious COI editing, that's only going to happen through cooperative discussions on the article talk page, using good reliable sources to help shift consensus.
