I recently created this list with the intent of bringing it to FL, but held off on the nom because I thought the lead was too short.

	:The only holdups I can see on ] would be if someone said the lead was too short or if someone complained about the red-linked amendment. Do you have enough information to stub that in?

	Hi Golbez!

			== ''The Signpost'': 2 March 2024 ==
	You've done a really nice job on ]. It's really impressive. However, I wonder if you wouldn't consider making some changes to it. It appears you used ] for the basis of the map, but British Columbia is drawn with its modern-day boundaries (with no ] (1867-1903)). On the east coast, it isn't shown that there was a Labrador Boundary dispute; Labrador should be marked as maroon (disputed) from 1912 to 1927, and a small strip of Labrador on its southern border from 1927 to 1949 (or present day). I realize the disputed Alaska boundary would be hard to show, as it's rather narrow, but at least a label with an arrow could make it stand out, and all but a mile of coastal Labrador was disputed from 1912-1927, so it should be colored maroon. Can you fix these? <font color="#0000FF">]</font> 12:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
	:Thanks for the (incredibly swift!) response, Golbez. The 1949 Labrador boundary decision was odd because Newfoundland was granted more land than it had even claimed in the boundary dispute, and Quebec still apparently claims that southern Labrador strip. Thanks for considering some map modifications. It really is a great map. Best wishes and happy editing, <font color="#0000FF">]</font> 12:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

	== Misplaced Pages Questions ==

	Hi,		Hi,

			I noticed that you've been editing your series of United States historical maps. I have two requests:
	I am an Assistant Professor of Information Systems at Boston College, and I am researching the development of the Misplaced Pages article on the Virginia Tech Massacre. You were among the top 2% of editors for that article, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to answer a few questions by email. Please also indicate at the bottom if you’d be willing to participate in a short follow-up phone/Skype interview as well.

			1. Can you edit the labeled maps like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/United_States_Central_map_1780-03-00_to_1780-10-25.png, even though they're not shown on the Territorial Evolution of the United States Misplaced Pages page?
	All of your responses and your participation will be confidential. Please cut and paste the below questions and respond by email to gerald.kane@bc.edu to ensure confidentiality.

			2. Can you show the Northwestern North America, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean maps to the same scale as the Central North America maps, and with the same image aspect ratio? The Pacific Islands will probably need to be shown as insets.
	I appreciate your help on this project, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Please also let me know if you are interested in receiving a copy of the paper when it is finished.

			Thanks in advance! ] (]) 20:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

			Hi,
	Thanks for reverting his rantings off my talk page. --] 20:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

	:No problem. ] 20:30, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


	== Colours ==
	I swapped two illustrative colours as pink is not appropriate and you had an issue with red. Pink is not appropriate. You said it was just for illustration so I swapped. "pinko" and other epithets have bben used and I suspect the choice for the republican was not by accident. Red, blue or green are all acceptable. Pink and yellow are not. These are political parties and it's silly to ignore that these colors have meaning. Please pick another color that doesn't have an inherently offensive interpretation. --] 03:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
	:Not kidding and since it was not offensive to you, why did you revert? I would have thought that a swap would be fine if you didn't really care, but you did care enough to revert the swap. republicans have found it offensive and have made it known to me and I agree that a more neutral color is called for (Neutral as in Neutral Point of View). The ''colour'' pink is not offensive. "pink" in the political context IS offensive and it's pretty obvious since ] is considered a political epithet. Use pink to highlight numbers on a balance sheet, don't use it to make a political statement about a political party. Find another color. Don't care which. red or blue is historical. Pink is offensive. Yellow would be considered offensive as well. Don't insult my intelligence by pretending that color has no meaning in political or national contexts. Political parties and nations identify with these colors. Please don't offend them by using non-neutral or colors they find offensive. Its no skin off your no nose if it means nothing to you, so why oppose other editors attempts at neutrality? --] 03:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
	::No colours are offensive to me. I just recognize that pink and yellow would be offensive to either republicans or democrats in the U.S. Democrats would be mad if they were portrayed as pink. Pink and progressive have some historical ties though (at least in the U.S., e.g. Code Pink ). Did you read the ] article? Red and Blue are historical colors and national colors and would not be offensive to either Republicans or Democrats. Acknowledging that colors have political overtones as you did with your cute rhyme, why would you oppose neutrality? Again, if the colours hold no meaning to you, why do you oppose changing them to a neutral color? Do you not see how the color might be perceived as non-neutral? --] 04:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
	:::You are wrong again and your lack of AGF is disappointing. I was contacted by a person who would have a COI if he edited. I have never even seen the shaded articles before the complaint was made. Like it or not, the association of colors exist. Yellow and pink are unacceptable. Red and Blue are historical. No one will care if it's green or other non-offensive color. I don't understand why you don't want to accomodate such an easy neutrality request. This is not an extraordinary request. In politics, image is everything so I don't see what you are opposed to. We accomodate requests such as this all the time. See ] as well. --] 13:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

	::::What I did was wrong, but I wanted to show how the Armenians get annoyed when a Turk abuses Armenia-related articles the same way in which they abuse Turkey-related articles with an interesting kind of fixation and "prejudice for the ''evil'' Turk's intentions". They simply cannot accept the fact that, despite the reality and brutality of the Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman government, Armenian rebels of the Dashnak and Henchak organizations also killed many Turkish and Kurdish civilians with the assistance of the Russian Army in Eastern Anatolia. This is simply "the other side of the coin", and they just can't stand it; with the determination to depict the Armenians as "pure angels" and Turks as "pure devils". ] 02:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

	I'm not a party to this dispute (I noticed the block on Flavius' user page while seeking his assistance on a different topic), though I have had significant interaction with the editor in question. I just added a note to the noticeboard discussion you had up yesterday:
	I'm not certain how it impacts your decision here, but thought you should be aware of the larger history, as well as the fact that this editor can be reasoned with (if only after a lot of effort). We had a pretty nasty set of run-ins between us, but I learned pretty quickly after my sockpuppet report that its not constructive to deal angrily with this individual. ] 14:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
	:Also Golbez regarding the Britannica thing Flavius said that figure he shows is wrong it only shows two years of an estimate and not the full Armenian Genocide numbers so do not feel like you reverted wrongfully it was fully justified I discussed it with him on the Armenian Genocide page, and than he said "However, his estimation of 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 was probably a constant and didn't change much" meaning he is trying to guess the estimates of the full year this is pretty much original research trying to estimate the rest more of a trick reference, since Arnold's estimates are very high than he actual stats. --] 11:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

	==Canadian Map==
	Hi, I just wanted to say, great job on the map but, ]. I don't mean to be annoying or rude but your portrayal of Labrador is flawed. Labradors boundaries came into being when Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949. Prior to that Labrador was only a thin strip of land along the east coast, and was granted land from the Northwest Territories. I do not know how to edit animated gifs otherwise I would fix it myself I have provided links to the official Atlas of Canada 1st and 2nd edition that was produced by the Canadian government Thanks --] 14:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
	:I don't at all claim to be an expert on the subject, but what I do know is that the boundaries of Pre-1949 Labrador shown in the Atlas of Canada referenced, were established by the proclamation of 1763, and due to misreading of the law, eventually allowed Labrador to claim title to land as far inland as the watersheds of rivers that run into Labrador and drained into the Atlantic and St. Lawrence. The 1927 boundary commission as far as I understand, agreed that Labrador was entitled to these claims and advised the King, but honestly I don't see evidence the new boundary was implemented until Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949, but I could be wrong, perhaps contemporary periodicals from that era would hold the answer. --] 09:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

	== Let's try this again ==

	One last time. If I wasn't interested in a two way discussion, I wouldn't have wasted my time posting , now would I?

	Let me explain why I think you are Kian's pet. It goes way back, years, in fact.

	-
	-
	Years ago, an editing war broke out over ]. Kian, who has no connection to the project and has never used it, decided to edit it, accusing the developers of using GPL'd code and "stealing" from ]. He made sure to make edits that compared SkyOS unfavourably to BeOS.

	-
	-
	He knew nothing about SkyOS besides what he read on the website and what he heard via rumor and when this was pointed out to him, he attacked us.

	-
	-
	I, in my ignorance, decided to tinker with his user page. This is where you come in. You asked how the dispute could be settled and I suggested that if Kian refrained from editing SkyOS, I would refrain from going anywhere near his user page. It seemed a fair enough compromise and it would call for trust on both sides.

	-
	-
	Know what you said? You said "Kian can edit any page he wants". That's right. None of us can go to his page, but heck, Kian can edit anything. That's what promoted a couple of us to leave Misplaced Pages (including Hexydes). Until Kian got his job and didn't have time to edit Misplaced Pages he would verbally assault other people and bend the rules knowing that you'd protect him. After all he could "edit any page he wants".

	-
	-
	Don't you see? You were more worried about vandalism than looking at the big picture, how disputes could be handled. It was my way or the highway. You vandalized his page! No compromise! See what you unleashed?

	-
	-
	It's such a shame. ] 13:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

	== Re: Sigh ==

	You may have meant one thing but Kian took it as carte blanche to harass me and the rest of the SkyOS team.

	You totally missed the point of the discussion and I give up trying to make you see something you don't want to see. I am going back into retirement now. ] 12:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Would you be so kind to look these over and let me know if they are more acceptable and/or what would be the appropriate label for them? These are photographs of items that I own. Also, even though I only uploaded these two images after your message and I did so in an effort to better follow your suggestion, thread has been opened on me, which I find a bit outrageous, but anyway, I would like to know if my new image uploads are more what would be okay.

	== State congressional delegation articles and "Passages" ==

	I see you've done most of the work on these in the past, but your user page indicates you've stopped. My question is more general, i.e. why is the word "passage" used? That term doesn't seem accurate, and is a term I've never heard before (worked for the Senate for 7 years). It appears from the context we are talking about congressmen who have left office before their term expired (died or resigned), and someone else was elected or appointed in their place. If it means "passage," as in those who died in office have "passed on" that's one thing, but is not entirely accurate if you include people who resigned or were expelled. Moreover, only a handful of the delegation articles have this information. I think it would be useful to include, and like you I agree footnotes probably don't cut it. But what about a different name for the heading, such as "changes in membership" like the ] and other ordinal congress articles? Sorry if you're not the one to ask this question, but I thought I check before ] and doing it myself.

	== Hello from DonDesignJr ==
	Hello BusterD, Sensei48, TabascoMan77, Golbez

	BusterD you do make me feel welcome. However we have unintentionally stepped on a few toes (I should say fingers, typing fingers). We have suspended our Misplaced Pages activities. We will corporate even without the threat of banishment. We believe the other editors are as supportive to tenderFoots (tenderFingers) as you and Sensei48 are, even though they did pounce pretty hard, and rightly so.


	SPAM DEFINED.
	BusterD and Golbez thanks for explaining spam as it pertains to Misplaced Pages. I knew of the common definition of spam but not this meaning. I was surprised. If TabascoMan77 or Golbez had used the term WikiSpam or used BusterD's link to spam, it would have made me investigate the meaning, and I would have found it instantly in Misplaced Pages. Whereas spam left me puzzled: "What spam? I didn't spam!"

	Why use the word spam? I don’t see a sufficient connection to share the word. I declare a misnomer. I can think of several more relevant, descriptive names.


	WikiSpam I DID.
	I saw the ability to add links and thought that implied permission. At the very least, it implied adding links was not totally taboo. It didn't occur to me that links in the body of your articles link only to Misplaced Pages articles. Sorry.


	RE-WRITES.
	Sensei48, of course you are correct about the re-write. When searching for information, my first click is on the big "W" on my bookmark bar, because I know Misplaced Pages's information is enormous and not tainted with bias such as mine and has links to "Points-of-View" sites such as ours. However, I dedicate most of my time to achieving the Goals set forth by Ideas4Humanity.com (see External Links) and am driven by forces that appear daily without warning, so I may not return to The Little Bighorn for sometime, especially not knowing that it will be approved. But foremost, I don't have the skill to switch from writing on one side of the fence to walking on top of the fence with my bias lean. Perhaps that is a reason for the original research rule.


	MODIFIED OUR COPYRIGHTS.
	We have several articles that may interest your readers as excerpts or External Links. For our List of All Articles see our External Links at the end of this message.

	And since it would be beneficial to your readers, Misplaced Pages editors, and aid in accomplishing our goals, we have decided to modify our Copyright Reprint Permission to offer Misplaced Pages editors our information to use or not use as they see fit (see External Links). If there are any changes you want, let us know.

	If one of the Misplaced Pages pros edits in some of our material, there would be no original research violations.


	LINKS BACK AND FORTH.
	We have been adding links from our articles to Misplaced Pages. We will add many more. Misplaced Pages is a powerful resource, thanks to you folks.

	Would it be OK for us to add links from your External Links sections to our articles, with link deletion being the worse action your editors take?


	ALL EDITORS.
	Would you pass this message to all Misplaced Pages editors? Or tell me how to do it, if it is permitted.


	MORE THAN WELCOMED.

Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences.

	== OTRS review request ==

			== ''The Signpost'': 4 July 2024 ==
	Hello, I'd like to request a review of OTRS 2007072910002927 (this is my first time dealing with an OTRS request). This is was from several months ago, at the time I felt it had some weird issues, but now its become an issue between editors (I am an admin, but also a party so I'm not acting in that capacity).

	Here is the situation, I apologize if this is a little long: You can see the original ticket mentioned ], dealing with the subject matter in the edit . From my experience as an attorney, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense for several reasons, but primarily this: there is not any legal reason I am aware of that we, as a website, cannot provide facts from reliable sources (and all of these were sourced to the most reliable sources in sports: ESPN, SI, etc) in explaining a situation; to be clear: no party in this situation has ever publicly requested (or received) a retraction from any of these respectable sources. If anything, this information was handled the correct way. There is a bit of extra funny business that went on in private emails, but I'd prefer to initially discuss those by email; in addition, the OTRS person who handled the matter admitted there wasn't a clear resolution and never made any further changes (which seems strange, given the situation). Because I was a little afraid of being punished for asking questions, I decided to stay out for a while. Still, the more I talked about it with other people in my field, the more the situation seemed strange. Finally, this month, more stories were published in reliable sources with , this time including the text of the controversial emails which were obtained legally through an FOI request (and are now a part of public knowledge; not privileged) while also making clear that the subject of the article is involved. This seems to again follow the standard basis for inclusion in the article --however it was removed under the banner of the OTRS ticket (though not by anyone from OTRS) with a warning that I was doing something wrong. So now I've decided to stand up for something that seems off and ask for a review of the ticket. I hope my explanation makes sense. I understand if we need to discuss this by email. ---- ] (]) 19:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

	:This is completely incorrect. The initial complaint centered on the issue of the family of the subject of the article stating that such information caused damage to the reputation of Mitch Mustain and his family, as well as subjecting them to threats of harassment by other parties. That still stands. For those reasons, this information has to be removed. Furthermore, Bobak attempts to link one set of events to another, without knowing the facts that the subject's family is aware of. The subject, Mitch Mustain, has never spoken on this issue, due to his position, and will not speak on this issue in the future. I have informed the Misplaced Pages Foundation about Bobak's attempts to put this information back in that damage Mustain's reputation, while also subjecting his family to harassment, including a statement that there are people who wish to cause physical harm, or perhaps, kill his mother. This is unrelated to football and centers around the actions of others. For those reasons, the initial OTRS ticket stands and this information must be removed. -- ] (]) 22:01, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Dear Golbez,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Twenty Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Misplaced Pages project for twenty years or more.

United States historical maps

Hi,

I noticed that you've been editing your series of United States historical maps. I have two requests:

1. Can you edit the labeled maps like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/United_States_Central_map_1780-03-00_to_1780-10-25.png, even though they're not shown on the Territorial Evolution of the United States Misplaced Pages page?

2. Can you show the Northwestern North America, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean maps to the same scale as the Central North America maps, and with the same image aspect ratio? The Pacific Islands will probably need to be shown as insets.

Thanks in advance! Squee3 (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed that your new Pacific Ocean maps aren't to the same scale as the others. Would you be willing to make a series of maps of just Hawaii to the same scale as the others?
