Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:03, 6 March 2008

Archive One is here.

Revert of The Pirate Bay page

Hi, Weirdy.

A few days ago, I edited The Pirate Bay, adding a tag. More recently, you reverted this change, and put a boilerplate message on my IP's talk page about experimenting with wikipedia, telling me to use the sandbox. I'd like to point out that:

• If I was aware of how to use a tag like that, I am probably sufficiently familiar with[REDACTED] to know not to do a test edit on an article page.

• A carefully-placed tag is, in general, unlikely to be a test.

• The beginning of the sentence that I tagged ("To many however, it seems..") is a perfect example of weasel words, as I tagged it.

The point is now moot, as another editor has since removed the entire sentence (which, on reflection, I think was a better option than simply adding a tag). I'd just like to make a friendly suggestion that you consider your own rules more carefully, particularly the one about not reverting edits unless they are obvious intentional vandalism.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Primo Gap NJ.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Primo Gap NJ.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Bans and blocks

Howdy! I saw your contributions and it looks like you're doing great work! One minor thing, I noticed you were using the {{banned}} template. Strictly speaking, the users were blocked rather than banned (a block is a tool which is used to enforce a ban, but it may be used for other reasons, like fighting vandalism). A better template to use would be {{Indefblockeduser}}. Let me know if you have any questions or I can help with anything. And keep up the great work! --TeaDrinker 09:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on my user page, but I haven't done any testing, if I made an edit, I did it because I thought it was necessary. Can you tell me on what article I edited wrongfully? (For future reference :))

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.213.74.184 (talk) 09:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Howdy Weirdy, thanks for participating in my request for adminship. I am happy to say it was successful, 55/0/0, and I am looking forward to getting to work. Thanks for your vote of confidence. By all means, feel free to check in on my work to come. Suggestions and advice are always appreciated.

Block messages

I know you mean well, but please don't put block messages on the talk pages of vandals who haven't actually been blocked. It confuses admins and cause them to not block the vandal in question, thinking that he/she/it has been blocked. Thanks! --Nlu (talk) 07:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm assuming you made a mistake, but please let me know how this edit came about. --Bobak (talk) 01:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, it was a messy bit of anon on top of anon nonsense. I was going through edit-by-edit to issue warnings when I stumbled upon that edit and figured "wha?" Take care. --Bobak (talk) 01:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:Talkheader

Hi, please can you refrain from adding this template to talkpages with nothing on them, per the template's documentation: "Using the template is suggested for talk pages that are very active or have had policy violation problems. This template should be used only when needed. Do not add this template to every talk page. In particular, it should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages."

Rollback Rights

Fair use rationale for Image:Into the Night screenshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Into the Night screenshot.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.
