GOCE copy edit drive

Greetings, the Misplaced Pages Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue. Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive! — The Utahraptor/Contributions, S Masters (talk), and Diannaa

		This only warning you will receive regarding your vandalism reverts and beating me to vandalism. If you do that again, you'll be receiving more barnstars that will be access denied. Wayne Olajuwon chat 00:08, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but I know that you're trying to distract me so you can beat me to reverts. Access Denied  00:10, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Please remember that I'm not trying to message you so that I can beat you to vandalism. Wayne Olajuwon chat 00:14, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

For reverting the vandalism on my talk page :)

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times lol, just because I revert edits I'm not accusing anyone of vandalism. Simply didn't understand why the content went! Aren't edit summaries marvellous things lol! --5 albert square (talk) 00:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there really should be forced edit summaries when IPs blank sections. Access Denied  00:14, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

And again! This is becoming a habit lol --5 albert square (talk) 00:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

You are horrible

You won't even let me get a revert in! Nice work,I mean, internet connection. ⅊™ 00:44, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I know, my speed has quadrupled ever since I switched from huggle to igloo. Access Denied  00:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

You need to help me please

Access Denied, Airplaneman is on a wikibreak and I left him a message on my talk page. Will you please check it out? Thanks. Ian (talk) 07:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I replied. By 'bottom' I mean of the Let's get started subtitle. Ian (talk) 07:26, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Checking the history

Hi there Access Denied, just a reminder, please remember to check the edit history of pages you tag for speedy deletion. User:Battousai9439, User:Vulcher and User:Nintendo swe are examples of why this is important, as the vandalism was done by IP editors, not the person using the account. Thank you. — ξ 04:35, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Talkback

This is mainly to notify you in regards to a speedy deletion nomination that you made that I recently addressed. Please let me know if you notice this issue coming up again. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

MfD

Thank you for notifying me of the MfD, but can I please ask you where did I not sign a comment with the four tildes? I'm not aware of not doing so. Regards IJA (talk) 18:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Bluestar's Prophecy

Hey! You messed it up! It was 295 words, but now it's 305! Urgh.....Ian (talk) 19:25, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I was copy-editing, but thanks for pointing that out. I'll go though and cut a few things down. Also, please remember to use the 'new section' button at thetop of the page. thanks, Access Denied  19:30, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

		The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		Can please stop beating me to vandalism? I keep being beaten to vandalism. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, don't feel like downgrading my internet connection right now. Access Denied  21:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

You're not the only user to beat me to vandalism. I'm not trying to make you mad is that nobody is letting me get a revert. Jeff G. told me it's WikiStress. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Try using Igloo instead of Huggle. Access Denied  21:41, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

If you come to Misplaced Pages solely for the sake of scraping in a revert, that's a waste of time. Do something more productive, like working on some content. Goodvac (talk) 21:46, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Goodvac: Did you really need to say that? Access Denied  22:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I did. Goodvac (talk) 23:13, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

So what do you want us vandal fighters to do? Just sit back and relax while we watch them destroy Misplaced Pages? Access Denied  23:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Don't put words in my mouth. I was responding to "nobody is letting me get a revert". I said that if Wayne Olajuwon (talk · contribs) comes to Misplaced Pages, only to find that others are reaching vandalism quicker than he, it's a waste of time. If one is incapable or has a slow Internet connection, waiting around for vandalism to revert is a waste of time. On the other hand, it is less likely that someone will beat another to content creation. Goodvac (talk) 05:13, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

oh okay, understood. Access Denied  05:17, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Is Igloo better than Huggle? Or maybe it's my computer that's the problem. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:42, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Igloo's better for me. Or just go Law and Justice and keep refreshing the page history, there's a very fast IP vandal there Access Denied  21:43, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I've seen it on Huggle. I tried to put GLOO on my monobook page and it didn't make any affect. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:46, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

You need to bypass your cache. And make sure you're putting it in the correct js file. And what web browser do you use? Access Denied  21:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I use Mozilla Firefox. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Then igloo should work if you put it in the proper skin file and then bypass your cache. Access Denied  21:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

It said to press Shift and the reload button and then it would work. How does GLOO look like? Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:51, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Control + shift + R all at the same time. To start igloo there will be a "launch" button inside the toolbox menu on the left sidebar. Access Denied  21:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Where is the toolbox menu? Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

On monobook it's a little ways down below the search bar. Access Denied  22:02, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Is this from the toolbox? Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:10, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

No, but you can also try clicking here instead. Access Denied  22:16, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

How did you install GLOO because it works for you and not me? Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Even when I clicked launch igloo, it's still not working. Wayne Olajuwon chat 17:09, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

		Nice job on Law and Justice! Also for beating me to other vandalism ;) --Addihockey10 21:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, may I suggest archiving your talk page? It's a little long ;) --Addihockey10 21:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! And I already changed my archive settings; the bot should be archivingmost of it next time it comes around. Access Denied  22:00, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

My spidey sense...

...told me it's a long term troublemaker, and as I started to dig, indeed that's what I've been finding -- see for example 89.80.162.186 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Could be a banned named user; they often are. He's currently blocked on the Polish and Dutch wikis for the same behavior. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 22:51, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

These idiots... they really need to get a life. Access Denied  17:12, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Cool

Thanks, :) Good idea.Talk_c 16:56, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but don't ask me to do much more complicated javascript than that. It was mostly just trial and error. Access Denied  16:57, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm beginning to think this is a hoax of some sort. I can't find anything much on Google - apart from which cancer treatment of the sort described wasn't (probably still isn't) given in Liverpool. It was all sent to Clatterbridge Hospital on the Wirral. The US President and Maggie T making speeches about a rock singer? Oh yeah... Peridon (talk) 17:27, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Internet Exploder

Hah Just noticed that, that should be the name of the browser. :)TalkToMe_c 21:28, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Lol thanks! Access Denied  22:38, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

AngryOptin for non-articles also requires the Optin.

I noticed you added yourself to ClueBot's angry optin list. Since non-articles also need to be written in the regular optin list, I have added your entry to the regular optin as well. Now ClueBot should be protecting your userpage (without 1RR compliance since you added it to the angry optin). mechamind90 21:57, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Edit

Is this edit constructive? Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:03, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

It seems fine. And remember, uhggle is for blatant vandalism only. Access Denied  23:04, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

		Because you revert vandalism instead of vandalizing. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 04:26, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

I want to apologize for the accidential revision of your edit on HJ Mitchell's talk page. I immediately reverted with apologizes. I was meaning to rollback a vandalism edit (via my watchlist) and clicked on your edit (just above the vandalism edit) instead. Again, my goof and my apologizes. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:57, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

No hard feelings. I didn't even notice. Access Denied  06:01, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

AndyTheGrump and perceived legal threats

Please, correct me if I am wrong, but per WP:LEGAL the statement that someone makes "a fraudulent attempt to whitewash Marxist terrorism, in effect turning the discussion into an advertisement for terrorism;" is a perceived legal threat, and even much more serious one, because propaganda of terrorism, by contrast to libel, is a felony. In connection to that, taking into account that both Andy and Justus can be both considered as new editors, I request Access Denied to re-consider their decision.--Paul Siebert (talk) 16:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Question

Would this be G3 even though it is a user page? I was deleted. Inka888Talk 23:04, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I can't see the page since it's deleted but i guess Access Denied  23:21, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh sorry, It said something like "Iget horney with your mom<3". Inka888Talk 23:26, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a G3... Access Denied  23:42, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Your CSD page

If you want to poke one of the admins out there, I remember a perfect example of a G1 called How to Eat a Scorpion While it is Mating (in its first iteration). Not only is the title a laugh, it's (if I remember correctly) essentially lorem ipsum text. It's one of the only true G1's I've had in my months on NPP.

Well, you have a point, BUT, I thought WP:DENY doesn't really apply to people who can still edit. I'm new to all this silliness (on Misplaced Pages, at least). --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it just gets annoying, all these constant Malleus references that also crop of whenever there are screams of "admin abuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Access Denied  02:04, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
