Here's a sample of what the non-public materials look like. I can't prepare them for wiki format on a user subpage at Rationalwiki as they've blocked my account and Conservapedia has Rationalwiki on its spamblock list. Would it be appropriate to prepare the non-public material on a user subpage in Misplaced Pages? The materials are quite extensive, do not out real life identities (or if such an occasion arose, I would edit out any such section). The raw data needs some explanation and context given. ] (]) 16:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC) |

== Mediation Case == |
|
|
|
|
|
A request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning ''Genesis Creation Myth'' has been filed with the ] (MedCom). You have been named as a party in this request. Please review the request at ] and then indicate in the "Party agreement" section whether you would agree to participate in the mediation or not. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mediation is a process where a group of editors in disagreement over matters of article content are guided through discussing the issues of the dispute (and towards developing a resolution) by an uninvolved editor experienced with handling disputes (the mediator). The process is voluntary and is designed for parties who disagree in good faith and who share a common desire to resolve their differences. Further information on the MedCom is at ]; the policy the Committee will work by whilst handling your dispute is at ]; further information on Misplaced Pages's policy on resolving disagreements is at ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you would be willing to participate in the mediation of this dispute but wish for its scope to be adjusted then you may propose on the case talk page amendments or additions to the list of issues to be mediated. Any queries or concerns that you have may be directed to an ] of the Committee or by e-mailing the MedCom's private mailing list (] for details). |
|
|
|

Please indicate on the case page your agreement to participate in the mediation within seven days of the request's submission. |

== Summer Watson == |
|
|
|
|
|
Hi, thank you for your message! |
|
|
|
|
|
I edited the Summer Watson page for the first time in March 2010, and I have understood that now there are some problems with my edits? I have given appropriate references for all the information I have put on the page, so, there really should not be any problems. If any of the information is wrong, there should be revisions with new, more accurate references, am I right? |
|
|
|
|
|
According to several sources, including ''Music Week'', Summer Watson's real forename is/was Rachel, and that she was 26 years old as of 2003. None of the sources say Rachel is her middle name. Watson's alleged relationships with high profile men, especially with HRH Prince Andrew, have been a major part of her public image in Britain, and therefore, I put the information on the page, under the headline "Personal". Also, I put on the page that Watson has had her own Trust, which raised money for her, giving an example of how the Trust raised money, and telling that HRH Prince Andrew served as one of the trustees, as this topic was well covered in the British media. |
|
|
|
|
|
It seems that for some image-related reasons, Watson or/and her associates want to control the Misplaced Pages article. |
|
|
|
|
|
And by the way, I am not "an obsessive fan", nor am I "stalking" Summer Watson in any way. After I got her album and took a listen, I decided to improve her Misplaced Pages page the best way I could, and I think I was able to create a comprehensive article. ] (]) 10:06, 18 April 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
P.S. Do let me know, when I am free to edit the Summer Watson article again, if I feel the need. I also think that there should be an appropriate source for the claim that Watson was born as Summer Rachel Watson as it seems that all the available sources say Rachel is Watson's real name, or her former name, not her middle name. ] (]) 10:06, 18 April 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
* Hi, thank you for your answer! How about my other questions and points I have made concerning the article? |
|
|
|
|
|
- If any of the information I have put on the page with references is wrong, there should be revisions with new, more accurate references, yes? Now there have been revisions, but no sources. |
|
|
|
|
|
- Have you took into account that Watson or/and her associate might want to control the Misplaced Pages article as they please, because of some image-related reasons? Not a single source place Watson's date of birth in the 1980s, as, it seems, she or her associate (71.143.157.136) edited without any references. The same user has also unedited several times some other information on the page (Summer Watson Trust, all the indications to HRH Prince Andrew). All the information I put on the page was included with appropriate references, and all those details have been a major part of Watson's public image in Britain. |
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, thank you for your help and keeping the site in order! |

* Your input on this is not welcome, I'm afraid. You are a ] whose editing has caused embarrassment to the project and complaints to the Wikimedia Foundation. You're done with this subject. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 19:23, 18 April 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
Hi! |
|
|
|
|
|
I am sorry to say this, but you are not being fair now. |
|
|
|
|
|
1. There was an article on Summer Watson here on Misplaced Pages, before I found it. I did not create it. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. After I got Watson's debut album and took a listen, I googled her. After seeing her Misplaced Pages article, I decided to improve it as its quality was very poor. There were absolutely no references used for any information on the page. None. |
|
|
|
|
|
3. I improved the article by using various sources, adding a lot of information about Watson's background, education, musical career, her debut album, and her other adventures etc. I also mentioned her connection to HRH Prince Andrew as it has been a major part of her public image in Britain. Watson first came into the public spotlight because of her connection with HRH Prince Andrew. What kind of relationship they had/have, I do not know, nor do I care. |
|
|
|
|
|
4. I hesitated whether I should mention that Watson has been publicly linked to other high profile men in Britain as well. But as she has publicly talked about her relationship with HRH Prince Andrew to ''Daily Mail'', she kind of opened that field of her life to the public. And as she has not been in the press because of her musical career that much since 2003, but because of her possible affairs, I thought it would be okay to mention that after being linked to HRH Prince Andrew, she has also been linked to other famous men in Britain. Besides, there are similar mentions all over Misplaced Pages on various singers and other entertainers' articles. |
|
|
|
|
|
5. I also wrote that Watson was born as Rachel Watson as I found several sources saying Rachel is her real name, or her former name. One of the sources is ''Music Week'', a music industry magazine, which wrote about the name in 2003, when they reviewed Watson's showcase performance. ''Music Week'' is also one of the sources that place Watson's date of birth in the 1970s, in 1977 or 1978. None of the sources place her date of birth in the 1980s. |
|
|
|
|
|
6. After I had improved the article, everything was fine. ALL the information I put on the page was added with appropriate references, and all the information I put on the page was appropriate ipso facto. I did not invent any lies, nor was I trying to promote Watson. I just wanted to create a versatile and objective article. |
|
|
|
|
|
7. Suddenly, someone (71.143.157.136) started to unedit some of my edits, but the user did not provide ANY reasons, nor did the user provided ANY, more accurate references. The user changed the date of birth (no references were given), the user changed the birth name (no references were given), the user enedited all the information about HRH Prince Andrew without any explanation, although HRH Prince Andrew has been a major part of Watson's public image in Britain. |
|
|
|
|
|
Now, how my editing has been causing any embarrassment? All the information I put on the page was put there with references. And all the information I put on the page was appropriate. I did not invent lies, nor did I add any information that was absolutely unnecessary. It is not that I had been editing the page with no references, or that I had been adding things that have nothing to do with the article. |
|
|
|
|
|
And of course I am lacking of any other activity on Misplaced Pages as I was still in the middle of my first project with the Summer Watson article. One cannot start editing on Misplaced Pages by already having a wondeful history of edits. |
|
|
|
|
|
Please, do pay attention to this matter properly. I think it is offensive to say that my edits have caused embarrassment to the project as one can obviously see that my edits certainly have not. No invented lies, no information without appropriate references, no details that are not suitable, no insults, no promotion.. |

I've started this stub, because I think he is notable. Perhaps you could cast your BLP eye over it and check for any obvious errors or areas for improvement (ie without ''adding'' significant new material at this stage). I'm going to see if I can confirm and find cites for his school and LBS, which I got from the articles on those subjects. If not I'll ask for references in those articles and take them out of the biography (I'll know today). I didn't find David a complaining type, but he's a stickler for accuracy and it's always worth a review by a second pair of eyes! ] (]) 19:47, 19 April 2010 (UTC) |

:::* They don't seem to be innately evil - just a tad too empowering for WP perhaps at some point in the past. If you can whitelist a single page, I think David Bell's biography is not likely to be subject of spam, seeing as he didn't even have an article until yesterday. The URL is www.commonpurpose.org.uk/about/governance/david-bell. It has some useful information about his retiring from the FT, which I didn't spot anywhere else. Either that, or take a risk and give them another chance in case the IP has moved on, I don't feel strongly about that. ] (]) 08:35, 20 April 2010 (UTC) |

Hey Guy. While patrolling new pages and pages up for speedy deletion, I ran across an article for ]. An IP user had removed the db-g4 tag once without explaining so I replaced it. Another IP removed it with an explanation so I left it off. Another user, ] then replaced the db-g4 tag stating that " you can not remove this tag. You must follow the instructions for contesting it." I removed the db tag as the state is not true. I removed it again stating that his comment wasn't true and that I also declined the speedy as a recent championship title had been won. Justa reapplied the db tag stating that the IP was a sock of the article's creator. I removed the db tag yet again stating that I declined the speedy and that his accusation was irrelevant. All info above can be verified . I then took it to the talk page stating that the new championship title was at least a claim of notability and that another AfD would be needed. The IP began commenting and Justa immediately began implying that the IP was a sock of the author and somehow related to the subject of the article. He then claimed to have initiated a checkuser. I was interested in following the investigation so I checked his contribution history and found to proof of an investigation being instigated. I then asked him where the investigation was and accused him of misleading the IP. He became defensive and refused to share where the investigation was taking place. That info can be checked ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
I then took it to the user's talk page. I accused him of bullying and misleading the IP which I admit was brash. I decided to take a break from the situation at the behest of another user until recently when I saw that Justa and the IP were edit warring over the reliability of a blog. The IP and I both agree that it's at least reliable enough to be used as a reference for the small bit of information it cites (it's a blog owned by ]). |

== ]! Are you still out there? == |

Today, a new IP user shows up on the page and makes edit on the article (agreeing with Justa) and edit on the talk page (agreeing with Justa) while again removing the blog as a reference. If you look at the , you can see that it was used to archive part of Punk's talk page. That alone doesn't mean it's Justa but if you look at , you can see where he says that he forgot to log in while archiving. I feel that Justa has been bullying and lying to a new user to get what he wants. Past that, I think it's obvious that he is socking (although I don't think this is normal for him). I think he needs to understand that his actions are harmful to the project. |

Hi ]! I was going through some old ArbCom cases and ran into one where you had added some statements. I realized that I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I see that you haven't made any edits since May... That sucks! I don't want to see someone like you go! If anything, I hope that you're doing well and that you're happy and that you'll someday return here. I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I was thinking about you... Keep in touch. :-) ]<sup><small><b>] ]</b></small></sup> 23:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC) |

Do you think I should initiate a sockpuppet investigation or just back off? The article is going to be deleted in an AfD so maybe it's better off left alone. I'm interested to see what an outside view has to say. Sorry for the long post and thanks for your time. ]'''<sup>]</sup> 04:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC) |

: I have been patrolling newpages for a little over a month now and what you're describing is pretty much run of the mill for newpages. A throwaway account will create an article, then when it's tagged for speedy, they will log out and remove it as an IP or else get their friend to remove it as an IP. This happens constantly. Although I think you were correct in declining the speedy if the article made a legitimate claim of notability. I personally don't see any particular reason to initiate a sockpuppet investigation. It looks pretty obvious to me, but then, I've been seeing it for a bit, too. ] (]) 05:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC) |
