<big>'''Dispute Resolution – ''Survey Invite'''''</big>
----
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.
'''Please click to participate.'''<br>
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.

{| style="width: 100%;"
Hello, Wee Curry Monster. A while ago I sent you an email concerning an unblock request. The user has emailed me again about this, and, since you didn't reply to my email, I thought I would drop you a note here. ] is blocked as a sockpuppet of ], but he denies being the same person. you said that you know Alex79818‎'s real life identity. Gaba p‎ has now given me fairly persuasive evidence of his real life identity, so a comparison of the two should be enough to settle the matter. Could you help? Anything you email me would be treated in strict confidence, and used for no other purpose than settling this issue. If you prefer not to reveal all of what you know it may still be possible to tell me enough for me to decide whether the "two" people are really one or not. I would be very grateful if you could give me some information to help me resolve this. ] (]) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
==Falkland Islands History==
]
] <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added 21:17, 14 May 2012 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
As you noted, there are increasing problems with articles concerning the Falkland Islands. British contributors write pages which are then butchered by Argentine users to represent the Argentine view and totally distort the history. I am an amateur historian concentrating on Falklands history. I added a page for the Arana-Southern Treaty (the Convention of Settlement) only to find that some Argentine contributor has thoroughly changed it. He's removed links, changed the text and removed whole sections relevant to the historical document. He's even suggested that the Treaty was derogated - it has not.


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
I've tried to go back in and correct some of the mess he's created. Some of the material he's added does give a more balanced view, but his editing does not. I accept that the source for much of the material was the Pepper and Pascoe document. However the treaty is online at Wiki-source and is very relevant to the disputed sovereignty.


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
I intend to go back to the document and adjust it again to include the material he has removed. However, I will ask Misplaced Pages to lock the file afterwards to prevent any further tampering. The Falklands dispute is heating up and it appears that Argentina is spoiling for another fight - to get at the oil. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 21:15, 14 May 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .
:Nigel, you can't just copy someone else's work, you have to create an original piece of writing that reflects all sources. Whether Argentina is spoiling for a fight or not, to be honest I don't care. What I do care about is writing text that reflects all significant viewpoints. As you will notice from my user page, I upset nationalists of all persuasions, you need to avoid falling into the trap of reflecting a particular nationalist viewpoint. ] <small>]</small> 22:08, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
==Many Thanks==
Thanks to your input on ], the article has been improved and the Argentine bias removed. I suspect that they were intent on showing the Convention of Settlement had been derogated to try and infer that Argentina did not end their legal claim on the Falklands in 1850. Their documentation suggests that the diplomats did discuss breaking or disestablishing the treaty, but there is nothing that proves that it was and plenty which shows that the treaty remains. Not only the fact that the treaty was published by the FCO, but also because it was referred to by historians and Argentine politicians as a culpable mistake which legally compromised the Argentine claim. I'm also very concerned that the source of the Argentine documents, the educational establishment, quoted documents found by Dr. José María Ruda, the discredited Argentine representative who misled the United Nations Committee on Decolonisation concerning the history of the Falkland Islands in 1964. It would be a grave mistake for Misplaced Pages to rely on information which is questionable from a source who has been known to deliberately deceive on behalf of his nationalistic objectives.


Kind Regards,
So thanks again.

{| style="width: 100%;"
TC has reversed his block, which is what I had anticipated, as I figured he wasn't aware of the previous discussions. This is a borderline case that some admins block for, some admins warn and prepare to block for. In general, I tend to warn first, then instantly block if they don't get the point. This is a matter of trying to be fair, actually, and allowing us all "one mistake". Getting to your tagging of vandalism, I'm sorry, but you are mistaken here. Obviously it isn't "equal" to his mistakes, but you still need to not tag those edits as vandalism.

According to ]: '''Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages.''' This is an objective standard, not a subjective on. It goes on to say: '''Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing.

In this case, I'm not doubting your logic, or the correctness of your position in any way whatsoever. However, as an outsider, it isn't my place to force a point of view. If I chose a side, I'm no longer an outsider, after all. Since the source of the site is part is from one of the parties in the article topic itself, it complicates the NPOV issue to the point that it must be decided by a consensus on the talk page or DRN. Even POV edits, as you claim his is (and you may very well be correct) are NOT vandalism at Misplaced Pages, and tagging them as such is considered disruptive, and yes, another admin could come up and block YOU if you kept doing it. This is why I am trying to help you here and give you a little guidance. You should only tag for vandalism when it is clearly and universally accepted that the edit is designed to undermine Misplaced Pages. Whole article blanking, adding non-sense (ie:"Brits sucks!" or that kind of stuff) or similar. Otherwise, it might be a violation of NPOV, it might even be 100% incorrect, but if the person adding the material can be assumed to believe that this is a proper edit, then it isn't vandalism. You aren't alone, over half the tags for "vandalism" on Misplaced Pages, aren't vandalism, which is why admins can't just look at the talk page of an editor and assume that the warnings are valid without confirming them individually.

Now the article is protected, it is easy to use the talk page there (it appears your version was the last one "frozen" for the week), build a consensus. If he reverts after the consensus, it isn't vandalism, but it is "disruptive warring against consensus" assuming an admin can see the consensus on the talk page. And I would gladly and quickly issue a block on the 2nd time in a short period he did this. Yes, I know you would like me to just permanently block him now and be done with it, but I would show you or anyone else the same consideration in a dispute, which is to give all parties the equal chance to discuss first. You are free to disagree and debating isn't going to be fruitful here, but I strongly suggest you take my advice on board regarding vandalism tagging, as my interpretation isn't controversial here.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

File permission problem with File:Murrell House Vandalism June 1982.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Murrell House Vandalism June 1982.jpeg. 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

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.

Hey

Just saw you're retired and the background behind it. Hope you can come back at some point because your work on Gib and other UK overseas territories is valuable. Some topics on here are just like a third rail and frankly I stay away from them. FOARP (talk) 12:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. Miss you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
