Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to ] was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond ] ] 19:36, 17 March 2009

== Andrea Doria ==
Hello,
Thanks for showing me the way how[REDACTED] works. Maybe you can have a look at these articles, and investigate if they are written according to the guidelines:


{{Talkback|Talk:Andrea Doria|Andrea Doria and disambiguation}}
*]:
The fragment “the present cabinet, which is one of the most right wing cabinets since the late 19th century” is far from neutral, but I could not convince the rest of[REDACTED] this was the case..


== Holiday cheer ==
*The article about ] contains a lot of negative editing against him. For example, o October 11, a user called ] put some intelligent-looking quotes from Irving on the page, and they were quickly removed. However, when Irving is making some stupid remarks, these remarks are still there (under ‘racism’). I am as much a fan of ] as of David Irving, but when one gets a neutral treatment, the other should get it as well.


{| style="border:1px solid 3px; background-color: #FF0000;"
Could you do something about these 2 articles? Thanks ] 07:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
|rowspan="2" valign="top" | ]

|rowspan="2" |
: The key here is ] and ]. For example, in the Oktar article you referred to "absurd rhetoric." That's NPOV, and unsourced, essentially opinion. In the cases of the Irving and Netherlands the comments are sourced and not opinions of Wikipedians. For example, in the Irving article, it gives examples of his racist comments, it doesn't say "Irving is a racist ass whose only appeal is to idiots and brutes." Sourced, negative information does not violate ], general editorial remarks do. I hope that example clarifies matters. ] 13:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Blocking policy ==

Hi. I assume that the new proposed blocking policy hasn't been implemented yet? You can still slap a temp-ban on the user (]) though, can't you?

Question for you: What's to stop me (for example) from vandalising consistantly, and yet still contributing many useful edits to Misplaced Pages.. anonymously? --] 16:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

: At this point, not much really. But if an anon IP is really bad, people will start to keep track of that IP's contrib list, to prevent large scale damage and will block much faster. Also, if an IP is sufficiently problematic, the provider may be contacted. ] 16:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. As I think you understand, I'm not trying to be argumentative. But I think that policy, as it stands, is not good enough. For example, I spent a few minutes having a look at the IP's contribs list, fixing the vandalised pages, adding a level 4 warning template, and following up afterwards (plus this discussion we're having). Instead of which, I cuold have been editing articles and otherwise contributing to the 'pedia. As it turns out, no action is going to be taken against this vandal (or vandals as the case may be).. so that has meant basically that my time has been wasted (other than to have fixed vandalism which shouldn't really have got through in the first place).

Don't get me wrong though - obviously I appreciate the work you (and other admins) put in to the alert pages and time taken to deliberate on issues etc etc. I just felt that I needed to vent my frustration at the policy as it stands. I'd love to hear your personal opinion and thoughts on the matter. Cheers. --] 17:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

:: Er, I'm not an admin yet. But yes, I strongly agree that the current policy on IPs is not strict enough. ] 17:11, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh right.. I didn't reealise that anybody could deliberate on the Vandal alert page. Anyway ... have you taken part in the voting regarding the blocking policy? --] 17:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

: Well, really I shouldn't have. The main reason I made the comment there was to make sure the admin who handled it knew that some good edits had been coming from that IP (which should be taken into account when determining block times). I haven't completely made up my mind yet about the new blocking policies. ] 17:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Sam Spade RfC ==

Hey, I noticed you signed the RfC - currently, the statement is focusing specifically on his actions on ], because that is where I have encountered him. Could you provide comments about his actions on the other articles? Thanks. -- ]''']''' 18:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

:Sorry, what I meant is, write your own section in the "disputes" section detailing his actions. This RfC isn't meant to be about the specific dispute at any article, but the general pattern of behaviour he sometimes engages in when he meets opposition. -- ]''']''' 18:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

:: I'm not going to have time for that right now, and I think KillerChihuaha was talking about doing that. If she does add to the dispute section, I'll move my sig back up to basis rather than endorse. ] 18:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

==Pianka controversy==
*Thanks for adding the info about Pianka's response to ]' comments. For my own edification, can you point me to a source? (It's probably _really_ obvious, but I can't seem to get Google to cough it up....) For that matter, could you also add the link to the Mims page when you get a chance? Thanks much. ] 18:15, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

: Er, there are a few sourced in the Pianka article. I'll go snag one from over there and move it to Mims. ] 18:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Please be sure to use talk pages ==


Hey Joshua

Please try to use "talk" pages when making changes to articles.

Although it isn't unheard of, it isn't the best etiquette to visit pages, and revert immediately. I'll assume you are acting in good faith on ], that is, that you came across on the article on your own and evaluated it, and determined what changes would be best, and made them. But, it might look a little better if the future you express your opinion as to why your changes are needed and also attempt to add meaningful content to articles.

That particular article has been frequented by users that know very little about Dellums and haven't shown any willingness to research the man.

Take care,
] 18:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Re: ] ==

Hi Josh.

No, I didn't ask about the blog, and Pro-Lick didn't say anything about it in our communication. I'm honestly not too worried about it. Maybe you could suggest to Pro-Lick that taking that post down would be a sign of good-faith, and a good bridge-mending step? -]<sup>(])</sup> 20:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== RFA ==

] --] 21:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

==Good faith==

Joshua, I've asked you nicely to leave talk page messages to describe why you are making changes. I'd appreciate if you took me up on the offer.

] 14:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

: I think it should be pretty obvious; the other version was the consensus version, yours was not. Furthermore, the others reasoning seemed sound. Hence I reverted to the consensus. ] 14:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)


==Serbian nationalist editors==
Hi Joshua. I see you have noticed the influx of Serbian nationalist editors, and are following closely. I originally tagged ] for POV on my ] patrol a couple of weeks ago, and have not been following very closely. ] popped up yesterday, his first edit was his userpage, and then on his fourth edit he created ], which seems highly POV and stuck it all over the place. I think he may be a sock or meatpuppet. Are you interested in investigating? Regards, ] | ] 01:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
* It seems highly unlikely that a first-day editor would know that templating exists, let alone how to create such a complex template.] | ] 01:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

::I haven't been actually paying that much attention to the problem. Its just very blatant. In fact, until you mentioned this I had no idea about that template, or that new user. It may make more sense to discuss it here where sockpuppetry of this sort has already been brought up, . ] 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
:: Also, you may want to bring it up at ]. ] 01:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
::: I thought of that, but I can't really think of a match. Can I submit open-ended requests, or do I have to suggest a match. It could be any of the Serbian warriors.] | ] 01:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
:::: I think one isn't allowed to go on general hunts, but if you have a plause example you can ask for him to check Bormalagurski for example, and note that its a general problem with the Serbian POV pushers, and they might turn up info on the checkuser that connects the sock to someone else. Slight gaming of the system, but acceptable. In any event, I would be highly unsurprised if this were Borma. ] 01:50, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

==Questions==
I know, I was just wrapping up my responses, thanks for being alert though :) -- ] 03:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== ] ==

Sorry to bother you again, but I'm stumped. There was a question "What do you understand will happen at the end of this five day discussion process?" What on earth is this 5 day discussion period of which ] speaks? The RFA is a 7 day discussion period. Have I missed something? --] 17:25, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== 67.160.36.12 ==

I've blocked 67.160.36.12 for 24 hours for vandalism, harassment etc. Please let me know if he continues to be a problem and I'll handle it.] ] 20:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thanks, that is I think the same vandal that made the ] (note lower case z) impostor earlier. I really don't understand what his problem is with me, he seems to think I did something on some other forum he was involved in. ] 20:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
:No problem. It is one thing that Misplaced Pages does not do very well with--when the vandals themselves start giving out warnings. Keep up the good work. --] 20:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== EAS ==

JoshuaZ,

Please review the Enterprise Audit Shell. Please understand that EAS is simply a new version of the EXISTING software ] which already has a wiki article. EAS == Sudosh. I've also updated the discussion page. Also note that Freshmeat, SourceForge and the Sudo maintainer have blessed Enterprise Audit Shell and that I have 3rd party validation. This isn't simply a small program, tooting my own horn, or spam. It's just confusing because of the '''name change''' from Sudosh to EAS.

Copied from ]
''The servers are based in Florida yes? So one doesn't have as much in direct bribery, but one has other options. These include finding the right person to have a very quick affair with, helping stuff ballot boxes, helping remove valid ballots, being a lobbyist and paying for the person to go to an excotic location for their "research" as to whether you should deserve an account. Also, just having a dinner or lunch meeting at a very expensive restaurant and paying for that. But no bribery, not in the US, they would never have bribery.

== Ethics in the Bible ==
" Among religions which treat these sciptures as divinely sourced, is there controversy as to whether some immoral acts which the Bible does not discuss, is controversial. " This is in the form of a declarative sentence, but the information content appears to be a question.
Are you attempting to ask if there is controversey concerning if the fact that the Bible does not discuss some immoral acts might be controversial?
I have reverted the paragraph because the current version does not make sense (or at the very least, is in no way clear). ] 14:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, that should be "there is" rather than "is there" I'll fix it and revert back if you don't object. ] 14:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

==stop ]</small>] my talk page==

Read over the relevant articles and talk pages. It's not about a "vote", its about "fact-finding", and if you don't have the time for fact-finding, please stop vandalizing my talk page. ] 19:43, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

: I don't recall using the word vote. My point was simply that when many users (such as KillerChihuahua) who have been on Misplaced Pages much longer then you have tell you that you are misunderstanding the relevant policies and guidelines, it might be because you are misunderstanding them. ] 19:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Or it might be because I'm not. If you don't have the time to investigate, STOP ]</small>]MY TALK PAGE. ] 19:49, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

: I have looked into it, and Killer is quite correct. ] 19:51, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

It takes FACTS, not CONCLUSIONS, to establish "who" is correct. An unsupported conclusion is MEANINGLESS. Furthermore, an allegation of vandalism is not prohibited under the personal attacks rule. An allegation of vandalism requires "fact finding". As it appears a small cabal can result in blocks against one who is STRICTLY FOLLOWING ALL[REDACTED] POLICY, I suspect you will block me if I again revert your vandalism of my own talk page today. So I will be back tommorrow to revert your vandalism of my talk page, while awaiting a real resolution of the real dispute, over whether ] ]</small>] by BLOCKING A USER WHO WAS REVERTING VANDALISM UNDER THE PRESENT DEFINITION OF VANDALISM. ] 20:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

:Knowingly false accusations of vandalism are person attacks. Please desist. While you may have misread the vandalism policy, it's been explained to you why that was not vandalism. ] 20:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to understand what I've been threatened with, particularly since I have violated no[REDACTED] policy. Does JoshuaZ, or any admin, or other, have "power" to permanently stop a user from editing their own talk page? If he tries to do that, would I then have to find another admin to engage in what I think is termed a "wheel war", so that I can re-edit it again? It's seeming very arbitrary to me at present, almost like any admin can do whatever he wants and its all a matter of who is willing to be dirtiest and who is in a political majority. I also don't understand why you are blanking out the word "vandalizing", is there a list somewhere that says that it is a prohibited word? I don't see you blanking out "vandalism", just "vandalizing", how come? You can respond here, as I have placed this on my watchlist. ] 20:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Please refer me to the policy that says unfounded warnings cannot be removed from talk pages. Unfounded warnings are vandalism are they not? The dispute with connelley began when he blocked me for removing vandalism from the libertarian talk page. See the discussion at Misplaced Pages:Vandalism (April 2006) at paragraph "what does 'nonsense' mean? and see the libertarian talk page at "the most accurate definition should be used" (March 2006), and see connelley's talk page (he does lots of deletes, so you may have to really look hard for it). I did not lodge a personal attack against connelley in accusing him of abusing his admin powers, I merely stated fact, so his complaint on my talk page was itself nonsense, and subject to deletion under the wikipedia: vandalism policy. You have got to look at "what happened" to determine "who" is the vandal, and you are merely siding with "a friend", without performing "fact checking". What is the procedure for removing your unfounded warnings from my talk page, without fear of being blocked for doing so? ] 20:33, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I found this on my talk page just now:

== DBAD ==

Please read ] (In this case we can mean ] to mean ] rather than ]), so give it a break, please. It is boring. &mdash; ]|] 21:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Am I allowed to delete this under your definition of reverting "warnings"? ] 21:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

: You may not be violating any formal rule by deleting it, however, in general removing comments from talk pages is strongly frowned upon without a very good reason. As for removal of warnings, if you can find an admin who agrees with you, that admin can presumably talk to whoever placed the warnings and then decide if they should stay or not. As a last resort, you can go to ] and make a complaint there, however I caution against it. I hope that helps. ] 21:18, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments on YEC. I have never been up on the topic of YEC and started studying it after a YEC sermon at my church (Southern Baptist). The pastor suggested I read a book by ], which I did. Some of his stuff was right on, while others, I thought were way off. I am continuing to give feedback to my pastor.

I was just thinking that it might make sense for it to see if the reported user is already listed on the page, and if so to not report them again. (although I'm not an admin, so my opinion on this really isn't very relevant). The current behavior could be slightly problematic if it reported A, reported B, reported A, then one admin deals with A and stops there, and then the next admin needs to go check through A again and note that A is already blocked. So having it not double up may be a slight timesaver. Just a thought though, nothing strong. ] 04:43, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I disagree a bit there, in particular "Franklin D. Roosevelt: Fighter of fascism, defender of the American System, architect of the original Bretton Woods system" "Mahathir bin Mohamad, had the courage to adopt the American System in Malaysia, to champion progress and industrial development" "Abraham Lincoln, great, hard-fought victor over the British monarchy's puppet, the Confederacy" are exactly the sort of statements that Larouche 2 tried to get rid of.

::Well, I think most questions can best be handled by directly asking the candidate themselves on their talk page, and Tawker's RfA ''was'' crazy. To be frank, ] explains much of what happened in the past. To sum it up, I had an issue with a certain editor who tended to bring out the worst in people, namely, me. He did so, and I made a small personal attack on my user page. Then an Admin, Rhobite, scolded me and I attacked him childishly. I have apologized, and all parties have moved on. Gabrielsimon, the first editor, even supported me in my last sysop bid. Other than that, I've stayed pretty clean.

Regarding your recent vote switch on my RFA, I've clarified my position underneath the oppose votes. For simplicity's sake, I'll copy it over here as well: "For that, please read further to the next paragraph stating "Anons do some good on wikipedia, especially when it comes to little things like capitalizing, punctuation etc. You may not think it's much, but it kills the sense of "wow this is a real encyclopedia" when you read poor english, with no punctuation and bad spelling. Anons do a lot of work fixing that, and I appreciate that. I'm always willing to work with any anon that shows me the same respect back.", as well as reading "As a counter to that: some articles just, for some reason, attract all the GOOD anons." and "Still, that, combined with an article I've created, BF2Combat.net which is maintained mostly by anons, gives me hope." The user article was structured in a multi paragraph style, where I present an argument, and follow it with a counter argument. ] ] ] ] ] 03:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)"


{|style="background: white; color: black; border:1px solid #6881b9; margin:0.5em; padding:0.5em;border-radius: 8px;"
My opinion regarding anonymous acounts is this: They should register. I understand the editors who are anons out of convenience or security reasons (no time to log in, or a public/shared computer so no desire to log in), but still, excluding bot style vandals, the majority of simple vandalism and test reverts on[REDACTED] come from anonymous IP's, and I strongly feel that if registration were required to edit the project, it would only be excluding the vandals who get bored in school and vandalize wikipedia, or come across an article through google and vandalize it because it's there and they've never heard of an editable encyclopedia. ] ] ] ] ] 03:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

== Malthusians re Eric Pianka ==

Thanks for your interest on the matter of Malthusians. I do think that Eric Pianka certainly fits like a hand to a glove with this doctorine. Essentially it boils down to population control and the idea that humans are no better than animals and should be culled accordingly. There is certainly much science to argue for this, but the idea is morrally repugnant as it advocates massive genocide using the excuse that humans are destroying the planet. This is certainly at odds with the creationists who believe that human life is special and certainly above that of the animals or vegetation of the planet. They argue that science is reductionist in that it only deals with what can be measured by repeatable experiments, so it has no validity in matters of ethics.

The history of Malthusians is long and complex and stretches far further than the man who is credited for this doctrine. You might be interested in looking at the involvement of the British Royal Society and Lindon LaRouche’s EIR is probably the best researched source of information on its history.

This link has a collection of articles from EIR featuring this

http://members.tripod.com/~american_almanac/contents.htm#environ

e.g.
http://members.tripod.com/~american_almanac/malthsay.htm

: Ok, for starters, articles on personal websites are not reliable sources for Misplaced Pages purposes. Second of all, this has to be one of the most convoluted definitions of malthusianism I have ever heard. It isn't at all clear to me what Malthusianism has to do with creationism or a reductionist viewpoint, or one's ethical system at all. If these concerns are addressed, it might possibly make sense to call Pianka a malthusian, but no time before that. ] 21:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


Malthusian was used with reference to his political stance on population reduction and a disregard for human life, which is an ethical subject. It does not have anything directly to do with creationism except that the label was applied to Forrest Mims his accuser.

I was just trying to make the issue a little clearer for your benefit. The links I provided were also for your benefit in order to show you the history of the subject so you would not think I was making it up or something. The site is a reprint of EIR articles and EIR is a long establish political publication. I could simply use the reference as in the issue number and author but the link was provided to help you so you don't need to go and buy the magazine back issue to check it. I appreciate it is not possible for you to be an expert in every subject but I hope this shows you that the alteration I made has grounding in published works of credibility.

: The links you provided are to articles from The American Almanac, a Larouchian newspaper(as I understand it), not a reliable source. You are getting closer to what a reasonable definition of Malthusian might be, but that's 1) not what the word means and 2) you meaning doesn't support his claim. ] 16:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

==Perhaps you should ba an Admin==
Hi, I have been coming across you alot lately, at random times. (partialy because we are both active inn stargate) You are the most active wikipedian I know of.

You seem to know everything about wikipedia, even obscure stuff, like vote stacking. Youve helped so many people become admins, why not become an admin yourself? You are more than qualified. ] 04:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

: Thank you. People have made the comment before. Right now, I'm not yet running because I feel I have enough experience (in particular, I still have very little experience with the images and templates), and I'm also peripherally involved in an arbitration case which I'd like to finish before I run so there isn't an cloud over me.

== Comparative Embryology ==

Hi there,
I know, I know, I just did a massive edit on this section of the article: "Evidence of Evolution". This is not proper etiquette I understand, but the facts presented on this section are not up to date. I can see from you user page that you do not like to discuss pseudoscience but I can assure you that this topic isn't, so I assume that I can talk to you freely about it.

This isn't a debate either because I am not stating that evolution or any aspect of the theory is wrong but that what is stated in this section is not factual.
What is stated in the section is, "Comparative embryology shows how embryos start off looking the same" and "...adult vertebrates are diverse, yet their embryos are quite similar at very early stages." Now, this isn't a theory with equations and processes. All you need to update the information in this encyclopedia section are some actual pictures that prove otherwise.
http://www.millerandlevine.com/km/evol/embryos/Haeckel.html

The website above has some pictures of several embryos and I am willing to bet you can find many more pictures in any scientific literature regarding this topic.

Now, I am ''not'' taking any side of the evolution-intelligent design debate at all.
As you will note, the author of the website is a professor who believes and teaches evolution. He however doesn't not believe in ontgeny recapitulating phylogeny, especially when it is based on Haeckel's fraudulent data.
I am sure you will find that this professor is not the only one who thinks so.

What I mentioned about the gill slits had nothing to do with refuting evolution. In fact, I strictly remember stating that, "These pharyngeal arches are common in all vertebrates." This would actually be evidence ''for'' evolution not against it. To state that an embryo has "fishlike structures," as it was written before, is just an outdated notion.
I noticed that this phrase didn't show up on my third edit; that was my error.

So to sum up my rambling, I did not take any biased viewpoint nor was I trying to impose my viewpoint. I was merely trying to keep this 💕 as current and relevant as possible. And since science is constantly being updated, modified, and changed, I just felt that this article, which is about a great biological theory, should also be current.

thanks

: Hmm, looking over the section again, it looks like you edit wasn't what it initially appeared although it was slightly problematic (and yes, I agree the current version has problems) I suggest you take it to the evidence for evolution talk page and hammer it out there with the other editors. ] 07:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Kip Kinkel

Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to Thurston High School shooting was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond Marksdaman My talk 19:36, 17 March 2009

The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Misplaced Pages Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Misplaced Pages Asian Month, and Art+Feminism.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global MENA Artists Month partnership page to coordinate international and online events as well.

Time: Presentation: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, Edit-a-thon: 2:30pm - 6:00pm
Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue (88th Street), New York City, New York 10128
Guests should enter using the 88th Street entrance via the ramp at 88th Street and Fifth Avenue

Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) ~~~~~
