As you may already know, Raul654 is among the most famous Wikipedians around. Vandalism edits of this page remain for an average of just 18 seconds, and the average time it takes for a diligent user to revert it is a mere 5 seconds. It only takes an admin two mouse clicks to remove indecent edits. On average, a vandal here spends 56 seconds creating his edit, and will likely be blocked before he even gets the chance to start a revert war.

Consider it. If you are here trying to vandalize this page, you obviously are on the Internet and are most likely (though not definitely) on a computer. I can think of about 30,000 better uses of your internet time than doing this absolutely pointless act. You can update or create blogs, play games, check the news, download new programs, and so much more!

Bottom line: The vandal wastes the most time. Do not vandalize this page. You heard what happened to Brian Chase.

== Nomination of ] for deletion ==
Another queury for you. I don't know if you follow the ] process or what your opinion on it is. I personally don't like it because I think it's a backdoor way to get a good content tag without having to go through the tussle of an FA nom. The one argument for its existence that makes sense is that it allows for an acknowledgement of good content on articles that are too short, and will likely always be too short, to become an FA.
<div class="afd-notice">
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article ''']''' is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to ] or whether it should be ].


The article will be discussed at ] until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
A thought I have had previously to address this is a '''Featured shorts''' or '''Featured short articles''' category. Like Featured lists and images, it would provide an outlet for stuff that can't go to FAC, in this case articles round about 10 to 20K. A Featured short could of course graduate to a Featured article if it achieved sufficient length but would have to be re-nommed. With this in place GA could be scrapped. If you're at all interested, is the discussion that got me thinking about it on the Good article talk page. Cheers, ] 12:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
:I do not care for the good articles. I see no point in it. I've seen some good articles tagged as "good", and I've seen some truely awful articles tagged as "good" (if ] can be tagged as a good article, which it was until a couple weeks ago, then what exactly constitutes a bad article?) ] 05:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
::Well, if you're in agreement that GA is pointless what do you think of the Featured Short Article idea? I'm in a minority of one or two criticizing GA on its talk page (naturally partisans of the project are those who stop by to comment) and it would be nice to have an alternative idea to point to. Note, the way things are going Good Articles is becoming a parallel FA process (right down to copying the colour scheme). ] 17:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, quite frankly, I'd like to see GA abolished and nothing replace it. I consider it a needless expenditure of contributor effort that could be better spent doing other things (like working to get articles up to actual FA status). ] 17:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
::::If you have any ideas on how to go about abolishing it (or at least altering it and marrying to some other process where it might be useful) do let me know. Your voice might have a bit of weight there. ] 20:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi!

Oh, and I'm also the Fieldmarshal (ENTJ). So get on it. :) ] 21:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
==Rationale behind FA promotions==


Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on ] to help.
Hi. Just wondering if you could explain the rationale behind promoting ] and ] to featured status recently? There were some quite serious objections on Chetwynd's FAC which for the most part had not been resolved; on Floyd's FAC my points in opposition were minor points but nonetheless I'd have liked to have seen them dealt with and discussed before the article was promoted. And actually the same thing happened with my nomination of ] not long ago, we didn't get a chance to fully resolve an objection before the article was promoted. Shouldn't it always be the case that any actionable objection is enough to prevent an article getting promoted? ] 00:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

==Dien Bien Phu==
Hallo Mark- I'm well aware that there were a large number of Legionnaires at Dien Bien Phu; my point is that there is no substantive difference between French soldiers (sensu your definition) and those of the FL- they are all 'soldiers of France'- French ''troops'', if not actually French citizens (although I believe the majority of them are both). A reasonable analogy would be Gurkhas serving in the British army; very few people (in fact, in my experience, no-one) would refer to a battle fought by British and Gurkha troops as e.g. 'British and Nepalese troops'; there is no conceptual distinction. Would you be amenable to a rewording, ie something like 'French forces (including those serving with the Foreign Legion)...'? I have to say, the second phrase ('..many of them not even French...') is a bit more problematic. Frankly, to me it has a vaguely racist undertone, and I'm really not sure what it is supposed to be saying, or why it is relevant. If you can clarify this, I'll happily accept the phrase. All the best (and sorry for the pedantry!), ] 19:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
:I am open to a rewording, but it really does need to mention the fact that the foreign legion troops at the battle was composed heavily (primarily?) of ex-SS/Wermacht soldiers. ] 19:26, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Even though this character has no rich history, at least we are expecting development history and cultural influence...etc. Further, Goomba (sp) is currently under FARC for the same objections that I and many other have brought up. At the end, again, are you sure that an article with only insubstantial plot summary and product information is suitable for FA? I still don't know your point. ] 22:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

::::*re '''Raul654: "that was rectified (hence the Carmen Miranda-et-al comments in the introduction now)"''' As I've already pointed out elsewhere, the Carmen Miranda addition is one of the worst bits in the article. There is absolutely ''no reasoned comparison between Bulbasaur and Carmen Miranda'' in the source, it is the most trivial, passing bit of editorial color, in a passing description of a couple of sample Pokemon, in an article about Pokemon cards being banned in school yards. It was just a "colorful costume" reference, and is barely even trivial, the ONLY possible value to the comment being it was a few words "on a CNN web site". And if that's not poor enough, in the article, which should be developing the lead, "“increasingly exotic foliage" is NOT EXPLAINED, the only rather subdued and obscure further mention is "grows into a large floral bulb". How much explanation is necessary in a FAC review to convey really obvious points, and for what purpose, if it's just overlooked or ignored? --] 01:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Raul! You seem to have written the better part of the image tutorial, but this question is unanswered. How do I use image already uploaded to, say, en.wikipedia.org on another language's project? The usual answer is to '''reupload''' them to Commons. I don't like that way personally for the following reasons:

Hence the question to you (or someone you know): how can an article on use an image already uploaded to the English project? I'd expect it to look like Image:en:....jpg, but that does not work &mdash; perhaps,[REDACTED] can request MediaWiki to add this feature in the next release?


If such direct cross-linking is not going to be possible any time soon and Commons is the only answer, how does one link to Commons?


]

To answer your questions:
# It is (literally) impossible for another language wiki to use files uploaded to english. Files uploaded to the english[REDACTED] exist '''only''' on the english[REDACTED] and nowhere else. So the ''only'' thing you can do is uploaded it to commons or to the ukranian[REDACTED] (and, for files moved to commons, it is suggested that you ask an admin to delete the original to save space)
# Files that exist automatically exist on all wikis. So (for example) look at ] (and the wikitext for it). The picture exists on commons here -> http://commons.wikimedia.org/Image:Joyce_Kilmer.jpg However, it also has a mirror image page on the english[REDACTED] here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:Joyce_Kilmer.jpg (which says: ''This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is shown below.''). To use the picture, you don't have to do anything special - just pretend it was uploaded to the ukranian (or english)[REDACTED] like any other file.
# As to your last question, there is no reason they cannot be so transferred in one large sweep, although people are probably a bit hesitant about using a bot to do it because there's no way to undo image deletion.

== Imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==
#Is not this feature worth developing? The physical servers are all the same. In my case the English-language[REDACTED] has already processed the images, created thumbnails of various sizes, pushed the images to caching proxies. Why does all of this have to be redone for each other language's project?
#Ok, so, for files in the commons, using Image:... will work for all languages? That may be fine, except I already have uploaded so much to the en.wikipedia.org :-( But is the file on '''en''' a ''copy'' or an ''alias'' of the file on '''commons'''? I sure hope for the latter... Ideally, the HTML-rendered articles would all link to the commons directly. Less ideally, but also acceptable, the language-specific images would use HTTP redirect to commons, so that various proxies will only cache one copy of each image, regardless of the number of its aliases.
#Why not? The images will not be deleted, they will be moved to commons, no? At least, there ought to be a button on each media file's page, allowing it to be transfered to commons automatically...

== A random "Thank You" for your efforts ==
Yesterday, I made the following request of several people ] as CheckUser-privileged:
*''Is anyone currently working ]? As I type this, the backlog is at 88 requests.''
] made this reply on his talk page:
*''Maybe because whoever it is who invented that page is too shy about telling people to get lost when they make frivolous requests. I don't know what it has to do with me though.''
and this reply on mine:
*''Don't spam my user talk page please.''
This sort of response&mdash;particularly from someone listed ] as a "]"&mdash;is intolerable. Because I happen to have a request at ], the intimation that my request is "frivolous" is clear; that and his assertion that I would "spam" anyone or anything are both in direct violation of ].


Raul654 - our paths have never crossed. But I want to just thank you for 1) having been Misplaced Pages's first FAC coordinator and helping building such a fine system. I was mostly lurking back then but I noticed your hard work and thought it was really cool. Also, thank you especially for 2) for penning Raul's Razor. Having read it all those years ago, it was a complete paradigm shift for me, away from "well, everyone has *some* bias so expecting NPOV work is unreasonable." It is a litmus test I mentally use constantly, and not just when evaluating Misplaced Pages articles, either.
With CheckUser privileges come two attendant responsibilities: active participation thereon, and the presumption that each request is treated as equally valid until clearly demonstrated otherwise. If ] no longer wishes to be part of this process, then his dismissal from this list might prevent ] on newcomers (to ], anyway) in the future.


Cheers!

Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized
Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States.
Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a
moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of
Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to
escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens
from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Proposed deletion of Phalaenopsis 'Kaleidoscope'

Notice

The article Phalaenopsis 'Kaleidoscope' has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Consensus has been established via discussion at WP:PLANTS and previous AfDs/PRODs that individual cultivars are not presumed notable in the same way as natural species, and must meet GNG to have a standalone article. Database and commercial catalog entries are not considered sufficient for this purpose. I did not find any reliable in-depth non-commercial non-database independent significant coverage of this cultivar.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder

Information iconThis is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:20, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jack Parr

A tag has been placed on Jack Parr, requesting that it be deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It is a disambiguation page which either: disambiguate only one extant Misplaced Pages page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)"; or disambiguate zero extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title. (See section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 2pou (talk) 20:03, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

A random "Thank You" for your efforts

Raul654 - our paths have never crossed. But I want to just thank you for 1) having been Misplaced Pages's first FAC coordinator and helping building such a fine system. I was mostly lurking back then but I noticed your hard work and thought it was really cool. Also, thank you especially for 2) for penning Raul's Razor. Having read it all those years ago, it was a complete paradigm shift for me, away from "well, everyone has *some* bias so expecting NPOV work is unreasonable." It is a litmus test I mentally use constantly, and not just when evaluating Misplaced Pages articles, either.

Cheers! Trevdna (talk) 00:03, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

ITN archives

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I am glad to tell you that Misplaced Pages:In the news/Posted/Archives are now fully available, with all the vandalism/disruptive edits removed. While creating the bot for the archival process, I went through a lot of the older posts, you are one of the editors whose name popped quite often in ITN in "back in the day", so I personally wanted to let you know about the archives I hope you see this message someday. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Joe Valachi.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Joe Valachi.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tim Landy (talk) 10:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of TeleZapper

Notice

The article TeleZapper has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable product that has been unreferenced since 2006. Found one in-depth review but not enough to satisfy WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nthep (talk) 18:32, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Nomination of TeleZapper for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article TeleZapper is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/TeleZapper until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
