Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 12:51, 27 May 2012

January 2011

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Please be aware of Misplaced Pages's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Misplaced Pages page, as you did to Talk:Vanessa Redgrave, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Misplaced Pages:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:15, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Akhmed Zakayev. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Akhmed_Zakayev&diff=prev&oldid=408561618 SarekOfVulcan (talk) 01:54, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

NPOV

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Kip Brennan, you may be blocked from editing. Jezebel'sPonyo 16:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

December 2011

Hello and welcome! I edit Misplaced Pages too, under the username Metricopolus. Misplaced Pages is written by people like you and me, so thank you for taking the time to participate. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to User:M1$CR3ANT with this edit, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions about editing, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Template:Z85 Metricopolus (talk) 03:05, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at User:M1$CR3ANT with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Seahorseruler 03:11, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, you are not allowed to make abusive changes to other user's user pages. This is considered vandalism and you can be blocked for it, so please refrain from doing so. Thank you. --Seahorseruler 03:20, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

So the page itself wasn't abusive? Porn is allowed in Misplaced Pages? And you're one of the protectors of porn pages? Is that correct? Leo (talk) 03:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, porn is allowed on Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages does not censor pornographic or otherwise offensive images. Take a peek at WP:CENSOR --Seahorseruler 04:01, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

I suggest YOU take more than a peek at that article and read it to the end. And keep on reading the following section named "Misplaced Pages is not an anarchy". If you continue to protect pornography (i.e. erotic content not related to any article), your actions will be reported. Consider this a warning.

Thank you for not visiting my page anymore. Leo (talk) 04:12, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

You have nothing to report, I haven't even edited the userpage. The only thing I have done is talked to you on your talk page. Secondly, what does Misplaced Pages not being an anarchy have anything to do with the situation? I see you are getting rather rude with me now, using CAPS every few words. I am here to discuss it with you calmly, but you are responding negatively. If anyone is doing anything wrong here, it certainly is you for edit warring with the creator of the page. As you said earlier, "Consider this a warning", however this is not a warning for me, it is a warning for you. Have a wonderful day. --Seahorseruler 04:19, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

I have removed your comment as it was wholly inappropriate (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:05, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Please, do not make edits like this. Such edits are not constructive. In general, provide reliable sources for your claims, or it's considered original research, which is not acceptable. Sergecross73 msg me 14:29, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

What exactly do you not like? I basically summarized what is said in the sections below. What kind of sources do you want? Just listen to their songs! Or you want it to be noted in Britannica? Nomad (talk) 15:02, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

There's many issues, but let's start with this: Care to point out which source said they were popular amongst "Alcoholics Anonymous"? Because I just did a ctrl+f search and the word "anonymous" does not even show up in the article any other times other than where you wrote it. Sergecross73 msg me 15:23, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Did you try AA? Nomad (talk) 08:18, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

No, the burden to check for sources is on you, when you're the one adding the information, and it's been challenged. Furthermore, I doubt any reliable source would make such a claim to begin with, so I wouldn't waste my time searching for something like that. Sergecross73 msg me 16:10, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 20

Hi. When you recently edited Yo-mobil, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SKD (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:04, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit summary

Hey, when you recently edited S7 Airlines your edit summary was in Russian. Don't forget that this is the English wikipedia! :) It's not a big deal (I could easily figure out why you made that edit by looking at the diff) but try and avoid this in the future. Thanks, Compdude 17:09, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry. I was editing articles in two windows, one in Russian, one in English, and forgot which one was which. I realized it when I hit the save button but it was too late, so I decided to leave it like that since the change reasons were obvious. Nomad (talk) 19:23, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

That's all right, I just wanted to make sure you knew. We all make stupid mistakes like that! :) —Compdude 23:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Lugansk, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you. Cst17 (talk) 13:40, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Removing sourced material from articles

Please do not remove sourced material, as you recently did at Child abuse, merely because the source does not include a web link. Not all publications are available online; the citation in question was apparently to the proceedings of a conference held in 1990, and is thus unlikely to be available on the Internet. —Psychonaut (talk) 13:10, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

If there was no confirmation of that point of view since 1990, chances are, that point of view is no good. If you don't like it, you can blame the Government of the United States of America for keeping the Arpanet project secret for so long and not allowing Internet to appear earlier. Find a proper source that everyone can read to verify the statement. Nomad (talk) 13:19, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

That's not how things work here. We don't discount sources merely because they are old or not available online. Please refer to WP:RS and other policies concerning sourcing material. I have restored the content in question. Note that the sentence in question doesn't claim that corporal punishment leads to child abuse, only that some professionals believe that it does and have launched campaigns accordingly. That's hardly a controversial view; it's a mere statement of fact and is easy to verify. —Psychonaut (talk) 13:22, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Well, then verify it. That's how things work here. You have to have a source I can go and read. It should be a link or a book's library code that I can order through the library system. YOUR source does not exist. Nomad (talk) 13:31, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Why don't you take a look at this. Nomad (talk) 13:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

The claim has been verified. That's what the citation is there for. —Psychonaut (talk) 13:43, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not interested in continuing a useless discussion with someone who only contributes to a common project by criticism and destruction. I told you why that source is not reliable. Want to change that - find the REAL source: book title, author, publisher, volume, page, quote. Library system number would be preferable. Until then, I'll be reversing your edits of that page. You can't use the source that noone can find. As simple as that. This conversation is over. Nomad (talk) 13:49, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Admin who is too lazy to create a new section is warning me about something

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Misplaced Pages, as you did at Mount Salak Sukhoi Superjet 100 crash, you may be blocked from editing. —Tom Morris (talk) 13:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't know who made you an admin, but you definitely can't read. I explained my edits and removed the parts that were DISPROVED by the links provided. And next time you decide to write something on my page, do us all a favor - start a new section. Need a lesson in that? Nomad (talk) 14:01, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Yet another threat

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at Talk:Mount Salak Sukhoi Superjet 100 crash, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Bidgee (talk) 14:40, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

And another. Is today a Threatening Day?

Your signature is confusing. Would it be possible for you to use your correct username for your signature? Thanks. Chip123456 (talk) 16:01, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

What's confusing about my signature? Nomad (talk) 16:02, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

There is already a user User:Nomad; your signature makes it seem as if you are him. Are you two the same person? —Psychonaut (talk) 16:04, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

You are user Leo711, when I received the message on my talk it was confusing. Are you the same or are you impersonating? --Chip123456 (talk) 16:07, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Do you two know how to check IPs? That might save all of us some typing. Nomad (talk) 16:11, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I know how I can get you checked, by reporting you for socking, would you like me to do that or will you just say?--Chip123456 (talk) 16:13, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

You'll have to report yourself first. You come to the page I'm editing and reverse my edits without any reason. Then you come to my page and start threatening. And you find your behavior ethical and friendly as per the rules?

Why don't BOTH of you leave my page and never come back again. Thank you. Nomad (talk) 16:21, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I've e-mailed User:Nomad to let him know about User:Leo711's use of his account name; if they happen to be the same person then no harm was done. In the meantime, Leo711, it would be more productive for everyone if you would stop prevaricating and simply answer the question. It's not permitted for you to use someone else's signature, whether or not the impersonation was intentional. —Psychonaut (talk) 16:25, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Well, if they are the same it's not OK, it's socking, but it would be better for the editor to be honest. --Chip123456 (talk) 16:28, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Not necessarily. He can create and operate as many different accounts as he wants, as long as he's not doing it for some improper purpose. See WP:SOCK. —Psychonaut (talk) 16:39, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Ok, although, if it does turn out to be the same person, it is misleading!--Chip123456 (talk) 16:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Greetings to all. Leo711, I'd like to kindly ask you to refrain from using my Misplaced Pages nickname. That practice confuses the users and, I believe, is not allowed by Misplaced Pages rules. I'm sure you'll judge my request as a fair one. Best regards, Nomad (talk) 21:53, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Your request is by no means an unfair one but not reasonable. I didn't know about you and you didn't know about me until the two wonderful people told us about each other today. For the past three years, we've never crossed paths, we've never been in the same discussion or edited even remotely similar articles. I'm not trying to impersonate you. And it's impossible to impersonate me. How about we leave things as they are?

Your options are... three. First - you accept my proposal and we live happily ever after with our ninjas and airplanes respectively. Second - you follow the reasonable people's steps and complain. I'm sure there will enough people here who'll be happy to punch me a new one - LOVE IS IN THE AIR. Con - what goes around comes around, and the day WILL come when two precycle admins and two stubborn editors jump on your head on the same day. Third - you can opt to wait till I cool off after the sweet couple's first approach. Green? Nomad (talk) 11:41, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Interesting link you gave me, Psychonaut. Let me give you a quote: "If you encounter a user whose signature is disruptive or appears to be impersonating another account, it is appropriate to ask that user to consider changing their signature to meet the requirements of this guideline. When making such a request, always be polite."

So which one of you has just been polite to me? Please clarify this, because I'm so overwhelmed by your politeness, that I'm considering to report both of you for violation of "ethical behavior" rule. Nomad (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Look a my first comment, is that polite enough and look at Psychonauts, also polite.--Chip123456 (talk) 16:34, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Well, your SECOND comment was already a threat instead of (I quote the rules again) "working to find a mutually acceptable solution". YOU are impersonating a power figure in WP which is a violation of SO many rules that you'll have to ask Psychonaut to explain them all to you.

Therefore, I'm asking you AGAIN to leave my page, go study the rules and learn some manners. Until then, this conversation is over.

When you come back, I expect an apology for your unethical behavior before I even bother to consider whatever you have to say. Nomad (talk) 16:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to emphasize that this is not a cocktail bar or a public forum. You can continue YOUR discussion on your own personal pages. Thank you for understanding.
Psychonaut, I REALLY tried to be friendly and cooperative. You decided a conflict was a better solution for you. Nomad (talk) 16:45, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

If you believe what Psycho and myself have done is wrong, go to WP:ANI. We were only suggesting the best things to avoid confusion. And I know the rules thank you. --Chip123456 (talk) 16:49, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I would suggest that this refusal might be part of a greater issue: your general attitude towards the community concept here on Misplaced Pages. Refactoring the headers here on your talkpage to suit your interpretation; calling things "threats" when they are valid warnings; a massive misunderstanding of WP:CITE and rather rude conversations because of it. Please check the chip on your shoulder, re-read WP:5P, and maybe reboot. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:51, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
