| == Removed "edit filter" == | |||
| I have removed the "edit filter" right from Malleus Fatuorum. I am not sure why you gave him all of these rights, but the edit filter right is particularly dangerous and requires special technical knowledge. A poorly made filter can cause a lot of collateral damage. I am also not sure why he needs IP block exemption, that right is generally only used when some is being effected by autoblocks. ] 14:36, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I gave him those rights because I feel it was merited. It was my discretion, however, you have the right to call my judgment into question. ]<sub> ] ]</sub> 14:39, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Well most of those rights are about trust, but "edit filter" is about technical ability. If one is not familiar with the logic of software programming a poorly made filter could block a lot of innocent people, bite newbies, protect pages, etc... I would not even recommend most admins attempting to edit a filter. ] 14:42, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :You may not understand that while I 'get' what the filter entails, I trust MF. ]<sub> ] ]</sub> 14:45, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| I have also remove the IP block exemption from MF. None of the reasons for granting it in our ] policy seem to apply in this matter. Edit filter and ip block exemption are not given out simply because there is a level of trust, but because there is a need for it. The other rights are a matter of discretion. ] 14:51, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I'm confused. Did I not have the right to dole those out? ]<sub> ] ]</sub> 14:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Technically, you do. But certain of those "rights" are highly technical and should only be given to people who need them. Does Malleus have the regex skills to write filters and is willing to donate the time to combat wiki vandalism? If so, fine, if not, they shouldn;t be added. "Rights" are not badges, they are tools to be used. Rollback makes sense-I trust he combats vandalism when he sees it. Autoreviewer makes sense—he is an excellent content editor. Why account-creator, has he recently volunteered for WP-ACC? Why IPBE, has he moved to China? Does he have a specific need to edit through a banned open proxy? If you wish to "reward" Malleus for his work, the proper method is barnstars :) -- ] (]) 14:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||

| === IPBE === | |||
| While not necessary, it is usually a good idea to consult a checkuser when applying IPBE. I don't think Malleus is running a sockfarm, but IPBE, especially in conjunction with account creator, if given to the wrong account, can allow for the creation of massive amounts of vandal socks that has the CU and OS team working for hours to minimize the damage. Thanks. -- ] (]) 14:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||

| (<-)/sigh Let's take it from the top. As an admin, you may give those tools to whomever you want. As an admin, Chillum may remove those tools from whomever he wants. As admins, if y'all start "edit warring" over rights, bad things will happen. My point here is to try and explain whose case seems to be stronger. When it comes to autoreveiwer/rollback, you, Law, have the stronger case. If I would have known MF didn't have those tools, I would have applied them myself. When it comes to EF, AC, and IPBE, Chillum has the stronger case, as those tools are not applicable to most editors and should be given out to those who will use them. Tools are not Badges. Thanks. -- ] (]) 15:15, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| I didn't know certain editors had better usage. It was not a badge. I gained adminship because I was trusted. I did not know it was conditional. ]<sub> ] ]</sub> 15:21, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :Of course it is conditional. It is conditional to the communities opinion, to your peers opinion, to our policies. Admins get buttons not authority. You can use discretion, but the discretion is subject to scrutiny from others. ] 15:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||

| I would like to echo Chillum here in that adminship is indeed conditional, and further that it is conditional on not using the tools to disruptively make a point. I feel you've done this by granting all these rights seemingly without knowledge of their function or purpose, and without rational consideration as to the community norms and practices surrounding their granting. Please accept this trout-slap that I am issuing to remind you to consider your actions more carefully in the future. –<font face="verdana" color="black">]</font>] 16:45, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == Malleus Fatuorum == | |||
| I see you've been adding rights to Malleus' account. The reason he doesn't have them already is that he has ''specifically'' requested that admins not add such rights to his account because he has adopted a prinicpled stance against the means by which such userrights are acquired. I strongly recommend that you discuss such rights changes with users in advance to avoid this - I have not undone the addition, but have asked Malleus if he would like them removed, and will do so if he confirms once again that he would. ] (]) 15:37, 12 July 2009 (UTC) | |||

Fair use rationale for File:Daves insanity sauce.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Daves insanity sauce.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:23, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Halloweenhauntlogo.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Halloweenhauntlogo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip that has no encyclopedic use.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. the_undertow 07:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
