Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:17, 27 October 2012

Welcome! Feel free to leave comments, critiques, etc., below. Unless you specifically request that I answer on your talk page, I'll be answering here, as I prefer to keep as much of the conversation in one place as possible. I'm not new to Misplaced Pages but I'm sure I'll still make mistakes. If I do something wrong, please let me know and give me as much information as possible so that I can make sure that I don't make the same mistake again. Thanks!

Please add all new material to the bottom of the page or click here.

AFT5 newsletter

Hey again all :). So, some big news, some small news, some good news, some bad news!

On the "big news" front; we've now deployed AFT5 on to 10 percent of articles, This is pretty awesome :). On the "bad news", however, it looks like we're having to stop at 10 percent until around September - there are scaling issues that make it dangerous to deploy wider. Happily, our awesome features engineering team is looking into them as we speak, and I'm optimistic that the issues will be resolved.

For both "small" and "good" news; we've got another office hours session. This one is tomorrow, at 22:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office - I appreciate it's a bit late for Europeans, but I wanted to juggle it so US east coasters could attend if they wanted :). Hope to see you all there!

The Olive Branch: A Dispute Resolution Newsletter (Issue #1)

Welcome to the first edition of The Olive Branch. This will be a place to semi-regularly update editors active in dispute resolution (DR) about some of the most important issues, advances, and challenges in the area. You were delivered this update because you are active in DR, but if you would prefer not to receive any future mailing, just add your name to this page.

In this issue:

• Background: A brief overview of the DR ecosystem.
• Research: The most recent DR data
• Survey results: Highlights from Steven Zhang's April 2012 survey
• Activity analysis: Where DR happened, broken down by the top DR forums
• DR Noticeboard comparison: How the newest DR forum has progressed between May and August
• Discussion update: Checking up on the Wikiquette Assistance close debate
• Proposal: It's time to close the Geopolitical, ethnic, and religious conflicts noticeboard. Agree or disagree?

Reverting all my edits?

Most of the changes I made were not even remotely controversial. Even Arbor8 looked and only objected to one paragraph on "Controversial remarks". That is just not acceptable behavior. I have reverted your undo. If you do another revert I will go to ANI. I will take the issue of "Controversial remarks" to the talk page as there seems to be much more room for reasonable disagreement. Organthief1949 (talk) 16:29, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Take it to ANI. I've invited you to use the talk page several times but you have refused. OlYeller21 16:44, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I was unaware of any requirement to have every edit I make approved on the talk page. Deleting all of my changes without offering any specific objections seems very inappropriate. It seems like you are just manufacturing conflict.Organthief1949 (talk) 16:56, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Manufacturing conflict? Were you not aware that I was the only person that stepped in when others were suggesting that you be banned from editing the page? I assumed good faith and came to you to discuss your blatantly false reasoning for making edits and assumed they were mistakes, which I still assume they were.

Again, had you used the talk page months ago, this wouldn't even be an issue. Please use the talk page of the article so that we may move beyond this issue.

On a side note, I'll be busy for the rest of the day and won't be able to immediately address the talk page but I would like to say that there's no reason to be speedy about this. I'm sure that we can agree that slowing down and discussing the issues is the best thing for everyone involved. OlYeller21 17:01, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I am more than happy to address specific criticism that you have and will happily give in when I realize I am wrong or when consensus goes against me. But reverting edits that you don't even seem to have any specific objection to, just because they come from me, is not appropriate and I won't stand for it. Organthief1949 (talk) 17:15, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Then don't. Go to ANI. The issues were outlined on the talk page months ago and didn't participate. OlYeller21 17:42, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

On a side note, I think this may be of help to you: WP:CYCLE. Others have reverted you and invited you to discuss but you haven't. That's the basis for my reverts. OlYeller21 17:46, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I am more than happy to discuss any specific objections you have to my last edit that are based on the merits of the edit itself.Organthief1949 (talk) 17:54, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

As explained previously, your edits are too quick and too drastic for a BLP and they can't be assessed quickly enough.

As I mentioned before, I'm going to be busy from about 10 minutes from now until at least 5 hours later and I don't plan on spending my weekend defending the biography of a living person that I don't even particularly care for.

Use the talk page to explain each edit you wish you make. There couldn't be more than five points and luckily for you, you can use your diffs as an example for what you plan to do.

Please cease any conversation about this topic on my talk page and take it to the talk page of the article where it will be constructive. I don't need anymore email notifications before I walk into a long video conference with ten people with which I don't share a common language. OlYeller21 18:25, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Just to be clear, you have not stated any objection to my last edit based on the edit itself. It seems we have nothing more to discuss. As for your meeting and e-mail alerts, those are your problems.Organthief1949 (talk) 19:57, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Bamboo

Hi, I object to you labelling my edit as vandalism, it was not. TheBamboo page settled on UK english over a year ago (see its talk page) and I undid an anon IP edit thay changed that. I intend to revert your reversion Alfonso spagoni (talk) 08:39, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

October 2012

Hey, I removed some of the content from the header of the page because I was planning on filling out the "history" segment of Chelsea Wolfe's page, which hasn't been added yet. You can put it back, I'll work on it in my sandbox. Also, I'm relatively new to editing wiki in general, I've actually never left an edit summary before, but I'll be sure to leave one on future edits. Sorry for the confusion.
