Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:30, 31 July 2012

This editor is a WikiGnome.

Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).

You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talkpage's 'history'.

I've a secondary userpage, where I keep my stuff.

Exit Door

There are a few editors who are 'no longer' welcomed on my talkpage. You (plural) will gradually figure out who your are, as your posts will be responded to with my deletion button. GoodDay (talk) 21:41, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Also, I read only english & thus will delete any posts that have non-english in them. GoodDay (talk) 23:55, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

"The choice of article title should put the interest of the readers before those of editors, and those of the general audience before those specialists". GoodDay (talk) 15:15, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Arb Com enforcement

Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

I disagree with the block, of course. GoodDay (talk) 05:00, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Enjoy your wikibreak GoodDay. - Best wishes to you = Youreallycan 07:40, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, YRC. GoodDay (talk) 13:35, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I was accused by User:Timotheus Canens of dancing on your grave - User_talk:Timotheus Canens#Your grave dancing allegation - that upset me a bit - I have explained to them that we are good wiki friends and I would never do that to you - this place is so quick to judge - Youreallycan 14:59, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Hahahaha, you're quite correct, this place is quick to judge. It's also become a place which discourages NPoV. But that's due to there being 'too many' agenda pushing editors :( GoodDay (talk) 15:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Hehehe - lol - ta GD - User talk:Dennis Brown#Editor retention related and interesting discussion - Youreallycan 15:12, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Ha, I won't need retention, as I've no retirement plans. GoodDay (talk) 15:24, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Good to hear it GD - keep away from your restrictions and you will be safe from restrictive administrative action - I avoid many users and many issues these days.Youreallycan 15:27, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I reckon I'll have to avoid those areas of interest. It's difficult to fly like an eagle, when surrounded by turkeys. GoodDay (talk) 15:52, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Sometimes my contributions give the appearance of an eagle that acts like a turkey ... - Here - the middle of summer , 24degreesC in the shade - lovely sunshine, festivals abound - Youreallycan 17:14, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I prefer the winter. GoodDay (talk) 18:11, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Paul McCartney FAC

The Paul McCartney article has now been thoroughly copyedited top-to-bottom by numerous editors including User:Lfstevens, a member of the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. If you can find the time in your busy schedule, please consider stopping by and taking a look, and hopefully, !voting. ~ GabeMc 04:43, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

A topic ban, prevents me from participating. GoodDay (talk) 01:46, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

2012 Republican & Democratic National Conventions

Report me for whatever you want. You have been consistently rude, have probably also violated the 3 revert rule, and have yet to make a good argument for the change you want to make. I have ignored everything you put on my page as it was mostly just rude. But I have better things to do than continue the fight, and you probably do as well, so I'll avoid editing the convention pages. Ratemonth (talk) 22:10, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

You've made 4 reverts within an hour (let alone 5 reverts within 24hrs), what else would you expect? Don't you think that's going overboard a bit & making you come across as being spiteful? GoodDay (talk) 22:16, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Anyways, I haven't breached 3RR on either of the those articles. Also, I don't wish to make this dispute personal either & so I'll not report you - even though you should be (4rs within an hour) reported. GoodDay (talk) 22:24, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

This message is being sent to all users mentioned below. You are all engaged in an edit war on the 2012 Republican National Convention article. I am giving you all your only and/or final warning to stop edit warring, or you may be blocked in accordance with policy. Relevant diffs:

• GoodDay removed at 16:55, 14 July 2012 UTC

All edits were within a 24 hour period. Whether or not you break the "3 revert rule", blocks are still acceptable if a user continues to edit war despite warnings. I invite you all to take part in the discussion on the talk page to reach a consensus on these matters. I also see something similar going on at 2012 Democratic National Convention. Lets do the same there, please. Rjd0060 (talk) 00:48, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Trying to get through to some of the editors at those articles, is like trying to nail jello to a wall. In future, I must remember not to waste my time arguing with a bunch of idiots. GoodDay (talk) 03:37, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Wanna organize your user page?

Wanna organize your user page? I can show you how. Tonymax469 (talk) 03:42, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

I didn't know it was disorganized. GoodDay (talk) 03:43, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

How could it be?—It has a flag and seven words. -Rrius (talk) 04:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks quite neat. GoodDay (talk) 04:15, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

It would be perfect if it said never rather than someday. :) BritishWatcher (talk) 00:02, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

The 21st century points towards republicanism. GoodDay (talk) 00:03, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

BTW, my Userpage was inspired by your Userpage. One's country flag as the sole image, makes for a neat & straightforward appearance. GoodDay (talk) 00:10, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Not according to the polls i read ;), and yes a large flag and simple message works very well i think. The Canadian flag looks very good on there, is just that one line of text. Hope you are well GoodDay and not been getting into too much trouble. BritishWatcher (talk) 00:21, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, lack of awareness in Canada of our country's monarchy, is the reason behind its support. I like the line under the Canadian flag. 'Some trouble' - I've been censored from some of the 'pedia, thanks to some agenda pushing editors. GoodDay (talk) 00:24, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Some things sadly never change on wikipedia, been back from a break a little while and already encountered some of that again. Hope you are going to avoid getting into too much more trouble, coz thats the way they win. Anyway bed time here, night. Good to know you are still about. =) BritishWatcher (talk) 00:40, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I'll stick to gnoming & won't ever retire. Nighty Night, BW. GoodDay (talk) 00:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

BTW, that IP (whom you agree with) is correct about the content of a certain -sorry, I can't elaborate further- article ;) GoodDay (talk) 14:44, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

2012 HHoF inductees

Why are you insisting on removing the 2012 HHoF induction tag from the Sakic, Sundin, Oates and Bure pages? They will be inducted in 2012, that is a verifiable fact. Nothing indicates that it has already happened. What are you trying to hide? 70.30.135.52 (talk) 04:12, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Oates, Sundin, Sakic & P. Bure are not in the HHOF 'yet'. They've been elected to it, but haven't been inducted yet. If you went to the HHOF today, you wouldn't find their plaques there. GoodDay (talk) 10:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Simple English Misplaced Pages

In the last few weeks, I've been considering joining Simple English Misplaced Pages. With each passing day, Multiple Language Misplaced Pages is becoming more & more unbearable. There's simply too many know it all jerks around this project. Too many professionals/specalists, who are more concerned with getting what they want in articles, instead of what's best for english-only readers. I'll just continue with my gnoming here, while expanding my activities at the other project. GoodDay (talk) 17:18, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Blasted, the project won't except my password. GoodDay (talk) 17:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
