The image you recenty restored to the PAK-FA article is clearly marked as an un-free image used under fair-use rules. Because another image exists that claims to be a free image, the fair-use image is ineligable for fair use. Nothing needs to be "decided", as the rules on fair use are clear. Whether or not the image claiming to be a free one is actually copyright-free is another question, but as long as it exists as a free image, no fair use images can be used.

Hi,


I see you are quite active on the pages related to politics in Slovakia, such as the ], on which you added a number of polls, and which I have just edited to make the tables sortable and, overall, cleaner.
== PAK FA edits ==


Now, I have a question for you.
Please do not let being a "fan" of this plane get in the way of the facts. The edits you made are uncorrect and unconstructive. Please let us keep that page factual, the PAK FA is fourth gen ++ at most due to its massive radar cross section. Comparing it to the Eurofighter is very fair as it has the same sort of characteristics:
a.) Both supercruise
b.) Both have comparable RCS
c.) Both are 4+ gen fighters
d.) Both have same flight performance.


Lately on Misplaced Pages, I've been trying to rearrange the columns of such pages in an order that makes sense of each parties' policies. Typically, the left-right axis.
So please stop your vandalism.
:1. If you want to write me anything, please sign yourself.
:2. It was reported gazillion times that the aircraft is 5th generation fighter, therefore your edition can be considered as vandalism and fanboysim.
:3. RCS of PAK FA not known and please do not go with me with that business standart non-sense. All we know is that it should be comparable to F-22 Raptor.
:4. Flight performance of final product are not known. Same goes for prototype.


For instance, on the ], the left-right arrangement makes the table much easier to read, than arranged by their number of MPs, as is the custom on WP.
:So, please, stop your vandalism. --] (]) 20:08, 6 February 2010 (UTC)


I come to you because Slovakia is a bit harder to decypher for me.
The Magyar parties aren't so hard to classify, as both Most-Híd and SMK-MKP are members of the EPP. What makes me terribly confused is that SaS, which belongs to the "European <u>''Conservative''</u> and Reformists" group in Strasbourg, is also the only party in favor of gay marriage (except maybe PS now), which is a good indicator that it is not conservative. So how do Slovaks themselves put their parties on the spectrum?


I've made a ] on how Slovak parties differ on multiple issues, but there are many question marks because I lack references. I let you edit or comment it as you wish. ] (]) 23:36, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
1.) Ok
2.) Wrong. Those sources know nothing or are fear mongering russian fanboys paid by Putin to promote russia on the net.
3.) Yes it is known. Its cosiderably larger than 0.5m^2 as revealed by the IAF
4.) Yes it is. Just because you dont know.


:Hi. SaS is a .... curious case. Best I could describe them is financially conservative, socially liberal. Or, mayhaps, just libertarian party. Left-right wing in Slovakia is very difficult to establish, it doesnt work on that axis over here. Left-wing party as SMER eg is conservative socially and it supported and voted for Constitutional amendement that constitutionally banned possibility of future gay marriages. ] (]) 23:41, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

::What you say confirms ], which describes SaS as "liberal and libertarian", but how do Slovaks themselves (people, pundits, parties) view their own politcal axis? I suppose there is a "left-wing", a "liberal center", a "right-wing", etc., with nuances. In this case, is ] correct?
Are you going to cut out your vandalism bs? ] (]) 22:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

==Reply== ==Results tables==
Hello EllsworthSK. Just a heads up that results tables shouldn't be put on separate templates – the results table on an article can be transcluded elsewhere if required using the #section-h function (see an example ]), and templates are more susceptible to vandalism as they have few watchers. There's a big drive to delete these templates at the moment, so it's not a good idea to create any more! In the meantime, I've copies the Slovakian election results to the main article.

Thank you for your note on my talk page. Please note that I am always very careful to not break the 3RR rule. Next time spare the messages of these sort for those who are less familiar with it than me. However it is important to note that you followed me to that article without having edited before. This is not accepted under WP rules (see:
]).
--] (]) 09:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)


FWIW, it is also my view that failing to follow up was obviously boneheaded. I think you are right on every point in your response to me. I replied in that thread in the first place only because, considering the context, one or two persons pointedly complaining about the lack of response was probably enough and precisely because the continued responsiveness failures were such an obvious mistake there was a risk of an invective pile-on that wouldn't be productive. In spite of my comment's attempt to cool the discussion down a bit, I do share your befuddlement and find your response completely understandable.--] (]) 21:52, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

:{{ping|Gmaxwell}} Thanks, I understood your point and will admit that my post was a snark. But a snark done out of frustration that is now falling into apathy level, thus my committment to not comment on this kerffufle anymore. Its difficult to be bothered, to see the clown car pathos that Katherine is head of. I thought that in my corporation I saw it all, and by god I saw some things. Christ, I once received a call from Partner asking about insurance policy that we have in transit, third countries and upon asking why he just non-chalantly told me that he just recieved news that our trucks have been ambushed by rebels in Angola and torched.
:But I have not seen anywhere this level of utter incompetence. In any corporation I worked Katherine, Jan and Reystorm wouldnt have jobs anymore. And because I have no trust in them, thing they validated over and over again, I do have no expectations of them and their statement and yet I fear I will be disappointed anyway. They try to be corporate overlords of 5th largest world wide website and I wouldnt entrust them a falafel stand. And given that this is my thought process here, and my nature of being blunt, I should just stay away from comments. There is, of course, also issue of seniority that I do not have (while I have been here a long time, my edit count is not in veteran level category and last years I mostly just focused on Slovak politics, ignoring everything else) so best to leave this to admins and senior editors in good standing. ] (]) 22:17, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ellsworth, thanks a lot for your support on the ] page! Is it OK that I ask you for a bit of support or clarification? When I decided to finally create a Misplaced Pages account a few days ago, I was prepared for some difficult disputes, but the amount of bias I was met with is blowing my mind right now. Are there many parts of Misplaced Pages that are like this, or is this a rare extreme case? Either way, what's the best way to deal with the situation? I want to help as much as I can to eliminate political bias, but is there any hope when veteran editors and even administrators are being highly biased? If you have time to respond to me, thanks a lot in advance! ] (]) 16:25, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
== ] nomination of ] ==
:The rules of Misplaced Pages editing do not imply that truth will come out eventually, but only whatever passes for it for whoever has the energy to defend it.
]An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for ]. The nominated article is ]. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also ] and "]").
:This has lead Misplaced Pages to replicate many of the deplorable tendencies of political discourse. Activists take it upon themselves to edit the pages, and win over moderates.
:Besides, in politics and other areas, public relations firms rewrite articles. You can look it up. They brag about having access to administrative functions.
:Wiki-pedia will never be an 'encyclo', that is, a coherent cycle of learning content. One fact in one page may contradict facts in another.
:As often, the pretense of objectivity is only a denial of subjectivity, that eventually becomes obvious. At least Everi pedia does not have that pretense.
:] (]) 21:13, 31 July 2019 (UTC)


:There are parts of[REDACTED] which are subject to gatekeeping of small amount of editors. The more editors in one article, the less chance of that happening. Niche articles are, thus, biggest concern for it. The TERF stuff is about as niche as thing can get, unless you are member of particular community and like to spend a lot of time online, which is not generally the case for population at large. But in this case, I am yet not really concerned much with bias. For now. Its obvious, no question about that, but incorrect sourcing is sin 101 of wiki and the sourcing of that particular lead is just hilarious. Having junior editor doing that is fairly normal and generally once they become accustomed to rules, they tend to get better with editing but having someone with that massive edit count is unforgivable and pathetic because that person knows exactly what she is doing and I am not letting her go on that. Either she gets back to 101 of rules or she'll have to bring it to ANI. I can make my case there without issues. ] (]) 14:25, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

::Thank you both. It's good to know I'm not losing my sanity. It's disappointing to see that senior editors are complicit in this, but maybe things will improve as time passes; the whole "TERF" topic has been getting more mainstream coverage lately, after British feminists who are critical of the state of transgender activism started organizing. Now there's also the curious case of Jessica Yaniv that's making the rounds in Canada. Here's to hoping that more editors gain interest in the topic. ] (]) 20:59, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the ] template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.


:::I dont really follow news regarding these topics. Every time I try it seems that someone has taken too much cray cray pills. So I rather stick with reports from war zones and so. You know, nicer topics. I got to that article as I got to most - I randomly read wiki when I was bored, skipping from page to page, getting to somewhere completely unrelevant to where I started and somehow managed to get there. The minority thing then popped out and given that I know how lead should look like this was quite hilarious, especially when only source was Daily Dot opinion piece, source that is not generally considered reliable and its usage is discouraged. Now I wonder if I should go down this sad rabbit hole and see how butchered other articles in this topic are, and I am willing to bet that a lot, or just leave it because its being gatekept by people who apparently have lot of time to be on-wiki 24/7. Which is tiring when trying to present counter-argument, tiring given fact that they took ] as a rule and tiring because I simply dont have time to go through their innuendos and attempts to flame up discussion by bringing up Trump, guy I dont really give a shit about. ] (]) 08:57, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

== Deleting Hungarian names from the infobox ==


{{Ivmbox|]
Hi, I see you delete Hungarian names from the infobox at places in Slovakia. Pleae stop doing it as the Hungarian names may be in the infobox at places which have a majority or strong minority Hungarian population. Here are two recent neutal editor opinion /admin decison on a similar issue with respect to Romania. and . I would not like an edit conflict or incident process, so please adhere to consensus. ]--Rokarudi 21:26, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


Greetings!
:Hi, unfortunatelly both your links are missing the piece of information you´re talking about. Nevertheless I suggest you to re-check the infobox of the cities because you´re clearly missing the point which I wanted to make. To the name sections belongs '''only''' the official name, there is no another, there are not two official names for one city - that belongs to other name section what is below it. I have no problem if you add Hungarian name to the other name section in the cities which have at least 20 percent of Hungarian population (what bytheway many of edited does not have) but do it at least properly, not like you did with that infobox. --] (]) 07:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
:Hi, If you are not against Hungarian names appearing in the infobox, then instead of deletion, modify the style. My personal opinion is that the geobox which is used with Slovakian settlements makes an eyesore with alternative names. If you put the names to native names, it appears in brackets. As other names, its an eyesore. In Western-European articles, the result is as currently shown in Komarno aricles. ] --Rokarudi 18:25, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
::The reason is simple - I didn´t have to, the place where you added the minority name is the wrong one, all I did was removing it but ok, I´ll do the job and put them to the places wheer they belong just as in case of Komárno. --] (]) 14:01, 22 May 2010 (UTC)


After a successful ], we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1!

You've written in your reversion summaries that the seats won by the OKS candidates on the Most-Hid list 'belong to Most-Hid', and compared it to SaS, but I'm not aware of any members on the SaS list causing as much coverage or interest as the four OKS members elected for Most-Hid. Yes, electoral alliances wherein two parties are listed together on the ballot paper, or members on a list are differentiated on the ballot paper, are illegal - which is why they didn't do that.

Slovakia

Hi,

I see you are quite active on the pages related to politics in Slovakia, such as the this one, on which you added a number of polls, and which I have just edited to make the tables sortable and, overall, cleaner.

Now, I have a question for you.

Lately on Misplaced Pages, I've been trying to rearrange the columns of such pages in an order that makes sense of each parties' policies. Typically, the left-right axis.

For instance, on the page on Slovenian polls, the left-right arrangement makes the table much easier to read, than arranged by their number of MPs, as is the custom on WP.

I come to you because Slovakia is a bit harder to decypher for me. The Magyar parties aren't so hard to classify, as both Most-Híd and SMK-MKP are members of the EPP. What makes me terribly confused is that SaS, which belongs to the "European Conservative and Reformists" group in Strasbourg, is also the only party in favor of gay marriage (except maybe PS now), which is a good indicator that it is not conservative. So how do Slovaks themselves put their parties on the spectrum?

I've made a table on how Slovak parties differ on multiple issues, but there are many question marks because I lack references. I let you edit or comment it as you wish. Kahlores (talk) 23:36, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi. SaS is a .... curious case. Best I could describe them is financially conservative, socially liberal. Or, mayhaps, just libertarian party. Left-right wing in Slovakia is very difficult to establish, it doesnt work on that axis over here. Left-wing party as SMER eg is conservative socially and it supported and voted for Constitutional amendement that constitutionally banned possibility of future gay marriages. EllsworthSK (talk) 23:41, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
What you say confirms SaS' article, which describes SaS as "liberal and libertarian", but how do Slovaks themselves (people, pundits, parties) view their own politcal axis? I suppose there is a "left-wing", a "liberal center", a "right-wing", etc., with nuances. In this case, is this arrangement correct?
Left-wing parties can be conservative, especially when their ideology is blended with nationalism, as is often the case among non-Western socialist parties. The Romanian PSD also promoted the exact same measure in Romania last year. Kahlores (talk) 19:55, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
Bump EllsworthSK. I made this table for you to judge. This would be helpful for the arrangement on Slovakia's opinion polling page. Kahlores (talk) 02:32, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Results tables

Hello EllsworthSK. Just a heads up that results tables shouldn't be put on separate templates – the results table on an article can be transcluded elsewhere if required using the #section-h function (see an example here), and templates are more susceptible to vandalism as they have few watchers. There's a big drive to delete these templates at the moment, so it's not a good idea to create any more! In the meantime, I've copies the Slovakian election results to the main article. Cheers, Number 57 21:22, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Slovak presidential election, 2014

Template:Slovak presidential election, 2014 has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Hhkohh (talk) 11:02, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

You are, of course, absolutely right. Re: Arbcom letter and staff response

FWIW, it is also my view that failing to follow up was obviously boneheaded. I think you are right on every point in your response to me. I replied in that thread in the first place only because, considering the context, one or two persons pointedly complaining about the lack of response was probably enough and precisely because the continued responsiveness failures were such an obvious mistake there was a risk of an invective pile-on that wouldn't be productive. In spite of my comment's attempt to cool the discussion down a bit, I do share your befuddlement and find your response completely understandable.--Gmaxwell (talk) 21:52, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

@Gmaxwell: Thanks, I understood your point and will admit that my post was a snark. But a snark done out of frustration that is now falling into apathy level, thus my committment to not comment on this kerffufle anymore. Its difficult to be bothered, to see the clown car pathos that Katherine is head of. I thought that in my corporation I saw it all, and by god I saw some things. Christ, I once received a call from Partner asking about insurance policy that we have in transit, third countries and upon asking why he just non-chalantly told me that he just recieved news that our trucks have been ambushed by rebels in Angola and torched.
But I have not seen anywhere this level of utter incompetence. In any corporation I worked Katherine, Jan and Reystorm wouldnt have jobs anymore. And because I have no trust in them, thing they validated over and over again, I do have no expectations of them and their statement and yet I fear I will be disappointed anyway. They try to be corporate overlords of 5th largest world wide website and I wouldnt entrust them a falafel stand. And given that this is my thought process here, and my nature of being blunt, I should just stay away from comments. There is, of course, also issue of seniority that I do not have (while I have been here a long time, my edit count is not in veteran level category and last years I mostly just focused on Slovak politics, ignoring everything else) so best to leave this to admins and senior editors in good standing. EllsworthSK (talk) 22:17, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Precious

civic democracy

Thank you for quality articles around politics in Slovakia and elsewhere, such as Kurdish Supreme Committee and TOGETHER – Civic Democracy, for taking care of 2019 Slovak presidential election and 2019 European Parliament election in Slovakia, for beginning your career here with a bold logo in 2009, for "I wouldnt entrust them a falafel stand" and help with language, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2248 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:52, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

What to do against the bias?

Hi Ellsworth, thanks a lot for your support on the Talk:TERF page! Is it OK that I ask you for a bit of support or clarification? When I decided to finally create a Misplaced Pages account a few days ago, I was prepared for some difficult disputes, but the amount of bias I was met with is blowing my mind right now. Are there many parts of Misplaced Pages that are like this, or is this a rare extreme case? Either way, what's the best way to deal with the situation? I want to help as much as I can to eliminate political bias, but is there any hope when veteran editors and even administrators are being highly biased? If you have time to respond to me, thanks a lot in advance! Rhino (talk) 16:25, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

The rules of Misplaced Pages editing do not imply that truth will come out eventually, but only whatever passes for it for whoever has the energy to defend it.
This has lead Misplaced Pages to replicate many of the deplorable tendencies of political discourse. Activists take it upon themselves to edit the pages, and win over moderates.
Besides, in politics and other areas, public relations firms rewrite articles. You can look it up. They brag about having access to administrative functions.
Wiki-pedia will never be an 'encyclo', that is, a coherent cycle of learning content. One fact in one page may contradict facts in another.
As often, the pretense of objectivity is only a denial of subjectivity, that eventually becomes obvious. At least Everi pedia does not have that pretense.
Kahlores (talk) 21:13, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
There are parts of[REDACTED] which are subject to gatekeeping of small amount of editors. The more editors in one article, the less chance of that happening. Niche articles are, thus, biggest concern for it. The TERF stuff is about as niche as thing can get, unless you are member of particular community and like to spend a lot of time online, which is not generally the case for population at large. But in this case, I am yet not really concerned much with bias. For now. Its obvious, no question about that, but incorrect sourcing is sin 101 of wiki and the sourcing of that particular lead is just hilarious. Having junior editor doing that is fairly normal and generally once they become accustomed to rules, they tend to get better with editing but having someone with that massive edit count is unforgivable and pathetic because that person knows exactly what she is doing and I am not letting her go on that. Either she gets back to 101 of rules or she'll have to bring it to ANI. I can make my case there without issues. EllsworthSK (talk) 14:25, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Thank you both. It's good to know I'm not losing my sanity. It's disappointing to see that senior editors are complicit in this, but maybe things will improve as time passes; the whole "TERF" topic has been getting more mainstream coverage lately, after British feminists who are critical of the state of transgender activism started organizing. Now there's also the curious case of Jessica Yaniv that's making the rounds in Canada. Here's to hoping that more editors gain interest in the topic. Rhino (talk) 20:59, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
I dont really follow news regarding these topics. Every time I try it seems that someone has taken too much cray cray pills. So I rather stick with reports from war zones and so. You know, nicer topics. I got to that article as I got to most - I randomly read wiki when I was bored, skipping from page to page, getting to somewhere completely unrelevant to where I started and somehow managed to get there. The minority thing then popped out and given that I know how lead should look like this was quite hilarious, especially when only source was Daily Dot opinion piece, source that is not generally considered reliable and its usage is discouraged. Now I wonder if I should go down this sad rabbit hole and see how butchered other articles in this topic are, and I am willing to bet that a lot, or just leave it because its being gatekept by people who apparently have lot of time to be on-wiki 24/7. Which is tiring when trying to present counter-argument, tiring given fact that they took WP:ABF as a rule and tiring because I simply dont have time to go through their innuendos and attempts to flame up discussion by bringing up Trump, guy I dont really give a shit about.

Rhino, Kahlores, and EllsworthSK, thank you for trying to improve Misplaced Pages. ThoughtIdRetired and Colin M have expressed similar concerns. I took this issue to the more general Misplaced Pages community for more opinions. Hopefully, more people take a look and comment. Halo Jerk1 (talk) 06:27, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Misplaced Pages, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

Libya Wikiproject revamp

Hello, I am very knowledge able about the Middle East and MENA and its conflicts. I was very surprised to see that Wikiproject:Libya was not entirely as interactive and attractive as Wikiproject:Syria or Wikiproject:Israel and others for that matter. Please send me a message on your take or ideas on the matter, and if you want to join in. Max Pigeon (talk) 13:11, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Saffinal.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.
