Quarl

Hi, I noticed you on Quarl's talk page. Although he's been reluctant for adminship I nominated him anyways... and I'm awaiting for his response... but feel free to vote and hopefully he'll accept Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_adminship/Quarl .

Whats wrong with it?

How

Why did you delete my gobbledigook page? How did you delete it and how did you know it existed? I created it as a test 2 seconds before you deleted it.

Thanks

Please help me

Chairboy this is Penetrating Fluid, I saw your comment on my discussion page. I feel very strongly that I am being injustly censored soley because one administrator didn't know what penetrating fluid is and imagined it to be some kind of offensive term. Please read the discussion here http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Samsara#User:Penetrating_Fluid and if you feel I am wrong then I shall desist from further action.

the billy wright ( american poet) article keeps getting deleted...

why was the Billy Wright article deleted? the notability page describes that persons who have been also NON self-published then are notable and worthy of an encycolpedia article. he has appeared in numerous poetry and literary magazines and has authored a few books...

Axxo

I noticed the page of axxo being deleted and protected from recreation.I think I already know but i just want to make sure,what was the article about?192.30.202.20 22:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Some guy who rips DVDs. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 23:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you said on my talk page:

I saw that you asked why the AXXo talk page was deleted. It is standard practice to delete talk pages to articles that don't exist. The article has been deleted and salted. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 23:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

There is at least some importance to this topic though, since people do make searches and post inquiries into the AXXo talk page. When will there be a process for reinstatement, since the link on the aXXo page gives me no information to appeal an article post deletion.--Chrisdab 01:32, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Goodness no, the person does not appear to meet any feasible definition of Misplaced Pages's notability clause. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 02:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Let me modify that slightly, there's deletion review, though I can say with utmost confidence that the article will remain deleted. When the gentleman is featured on CNN, perhaps it might be revisited, but realistically... no, ain't gonna happen. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 02:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

You know this guy is pretty knotable since most of his dvd rips come before the films are realeased on dvd and they are are perfect quality.How does he do it, Is he some insider who gets advanced copies of films and then distributes them?Rodrigue 17:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Elves? - CHAIRBOY (☎) 21:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what your responce is.what do you mean when you say "elves"?Rodrigue 17:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, you asked how he gets the advanced copies, and I honestly can't tell you. Perhaps from magical elves? I strongly encourage you to review the notability link I provided above, if you can make a good case for this gent (or lady) meeting it, I can unsalt the article, but it seems rather unlikely. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 17:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

It was stated before on the article's talk page, before that was deleted too, that if a good article was written on this person, that it would be used as the article. It was also stated on that talk page that the reason the page was deleted and locked was that the previous article there was poorly written. Now although you dont feel this person is notable and I can agree with your points, it should also be taken into consideration that there are forums and websites dedicated to this person. If a well written article was written on this person, would it then allow the article to be created? --Chrisdab 20:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I would like to know why did you delete the Axxo[REDACTED] page. I personally think you blatantly violated[REDACTED] policies and without proper explanation I'll have to report this.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.127.122.248 (talk • contribs).

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Please sign your messages with ~~~~. The article you ask about was deleted for the reason outlined in the deletion reason. Specifically, it met the speedy delete criteria 7, no assertion of notability. If you feel the article was deleted in error, I encourage you to make use of the deletion review process. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 23:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. Please, can you do a little research on the internet. Significant amount of new pirated movie releases come from Axxo (who is a person or a group? - actually that's the reason i came to[REDACTED] - to find out). Less significant entities of warez scene have their pages on Misplaced Pages, how would you justify that. --91.127.61.144 14:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Have you considered creating an account? If you know of other articles on the project about people that lack assertions of notability, feel free to tag them for speedy deletion. If you feel the article deleted met our notability assertion requirements, I invite you to make use of our deletion review process. There, other people will weigh in on the subject. Thanks! - CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Here is a listing of some of the "warez" groups which have an article here on[REDACTED] that were not deleted yet, and in my opinion are less significant than aXXo :
http://en.wikipedia.org/Razor_1911
http://en.wikipedia.org/DEViANCE
http://en.wikipedia.org/RELOADED_%28warez%29

some of these articles contain the logos of the corresponding groups, their notable releases, even their members. Now I'm sure they'll be flagged for lack of notability if we apply the same logic. aXXo is/are by now, in their most "notable" state than ever, as (s)he/they became sort of an internet phenomenon.

Provided this and the exclusive selection of the aXXo article to be deleted, and with all due respect, the motivation behind it's deletion is questioned and a more convincing argument should be made to justify the act and/or unfreezing the article ASAP. Regards. - 196.203.40.209 20:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, tough crowd. This is my first posting, so I apologize for all errors in advance. I originally came here looking for information on Axxo also, but after reading this discussion I would like to post a few points.

a) Because other articles exist that also deserve deletion is irrelative (i.e. because all mistakes are not corrected doesn't imply that no mistake should be corrected).

b) Axxo is notable, well sorta... It/he/she/them certainly doesn't meet the criteria Chairboy cited, however thousands if not millions are familiar. The MPAA certainly is, not to mention the UrbanDictionary defines axxo as a generic term for a high quality rip. Also, imho, notoriety and controversy should be considered. I believe Chairboy's CNN comment was to contrast Axxo's notability and inject a little humor, not to be flippant.

c) If the article were revived what could it possibly have in it? Little information is known, hardly enough for a decent article.

d) It appears if Chairboy did error, and not I'm sure he did, it was an honest mistake -not a malicious one.

My humble suggestion is prepare an article, show them the error of their ways. What else is the point of this discussion? For what it is worth74.34.111.38 06:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Karmafist

Chairboy, I don't think that Karmafist's devotion to this project can be denied, right up to his demise. I don't think anyone ever tried to engage in debate with him and/or his supporters. So Misplaced Pages chugged right along without making any of the changes recommended by Karmafist, when in fact considering these changes could have been beneficial to the encyclopedia. Did we follow the rules in blocking him? Yeah. But I think it was detrimental to the project. Juppiter 01:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

How would you characterize his fleet of sock puppets? BTW, thank you for your thoughtful reply. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 01:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

It was irresponsible, but I think that he was absolutely pushed into a corner. In addition, these sock puppets were created to block the ascension of user:Carnildo to adminship, which has been more harmful than anything Karmafist ever did. As a matter of fact, Karmafist made me aware of the sockpuppets before the Misplaced Pages community discovered them, and I was more offended by the witchhunt against the anti-Carnildo crowd that ultimately uncovered the socks than I was by the existence of the socks. It was good that the socks were uncovered, but that every single oppose vote in Carnildo's most recent RFA was inspected with such scrutiny was a travesty to me. Juppiter 03:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Adam4Adam

It appears you deleted the article Adam4Adam. The article had verifiable references that established notability. Adam4Adam has been discussed in newspapers across the United States and, given the opportnity, I can produce an avalanche of evidence of this. I had nothing to do with previous versions of the article; I didn't even know they existed until yesterday. There was a hold on the speedy delete and I didn't get a chance to respond. Put the article back and allow me the advocate for the article per Misplaced Pages policy. I am an earnest and guideline-abiding Misplaced Pages contributor and I don't appreciate this abuse of authority. House of Scandal 15:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

First, there is no 'hold' on deletion. If someone puts a {{hangon}} template somewhere, it's a tag to draw someones attention to the talk page where they make an argument for why it shouldn't be deleted. If you couldn't be bothered to do that as you imply above, then the use of the template is meaningless. Second, I would have gladly undeleted the article at your first request, and was ready to do so (as I have any number of other times when people have asked), but then I read your immediate accusation of "abuse of authority". That's uncalled for, and while you're welcome to your opinion, I now invite you to find another admin to restore it for you. Like everyone else, I'm a volunteer here, and I'm under no obligation to put up with abuse. I suggest you reconsider how you interact with people on the project going forwards. Assume Good Faith is a vital foundation of Misplaced Pages, and you've chosen to ignore it. I don't know why you felt your first reaction must immediately be hostile, but it was unwarranted, inappropriate, and out of line for working here. I hope you won't mistake my choice of inaction as another "abuse of authority", but I can't control your perceptions. I can only ask you to use more consideration when speaking to fellow editors in the future. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 17:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

BTW, I checked it out again, and I'd like to clear up a misconception. I didn't speedy-delete it because of unverifiable content of because it was a repost, please note that I provided the following delete explanation: "WP:CSD Articles, subsection 7 - No assertion of notability is made by this person, music group, or organization" It fails to meet WP:WEB, and Misplaced Pages is not a web directory. Feel free to have a 2nd admin review this for you or bring it to WP:DRV. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 17:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

There was a "hangon" which you choose to ignore. You not liking my tone is no exuse for you abusing your power, covering up your errors, or whatever. You wrongly deleted the article and you have violated policy. We're not done. House of Scandal 17:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey all, for some reason I have Chairboy's talk on my watch list, and I noticed this and I thought I'd chime in. While it is true that it might have been "nice" if Chairboy waited a little longer for the explanation from you, HouseOfScandal, there isn't, in fact, any reason why it is necessary to wait if the article clearly satisfies the criteria for speedy deletion, and I agree with Chairboy's assessment that it doesn't meet WP:WEB. If, however, this was the first or second deletion of the article I might be inclined to undelete it myself and send it to AfD. However, this is the sixth deletion of the article (one of which was reversed), and the ground was actually salted for a couple months, so it was clearly understood that it shouldn't be recreated. Your behaviour doesn't add to my desire to undelete either, HouseOfScandal. So if you want a second admin opinion, I give you one: Keep it deleted. _└  / _talk  18:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't even know about previous version of the article. The article had WP:V and WP:N. Even spammy, unWikified crap goes to AfD. To just press a button an eliminate a substantial article that someone had obviously created in good faith is very, very wrong. It was undeleted yesterday because, as the admin stated, it was undeleted in error without looking at it. What is the "hangon" template for if it can just be ignored? No different that either of you, I am a volunteer here. I work very hard fighting vandalism, creating and editing articles, and improving Misplaced Pages. If in my place, How would you like it? House of Scandal 18:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)-

From the {{hangon}} template itself: "Note that this request is not binding, and the page may still be deleted if the page unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if the promised explanation is not provided very soon." I understand your frustration, but casually ascribing malice to things you disagree with isn't a good way to get things done. If you still disagree with the speedy delete criteria used, I encourage you to use deletion review to pursue this. If you feel my actions have been in any way improper (which your text suggests), I encourage you to request external review at either WP:AN, WP:AN/I or via the request for comment procedure. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 19:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Anyway you look at it, Chairboy, your decision was made without checking to see if it truly failed WP:WEB. I realize you're as busy as the rest of us, but it is clearly a notable site. The New York Times wrote an article about it a few months ago, after a site user was murdered through an assignation arranged there. A truly interestingWiki article could be written about it. I, for one, would like to see the article, evaluate it, and perhaps improve it. Jeffpw 22:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your feedback, but your claim that I made no effort to see if it failed WP:WEB is inaccurate. I see that you're a member of "Category:Wikipedians against notability", and while you're entitled to your own opinion, I'd ask that you keep in mind that the notability policies are still in force, and if you'd like to change them, a better place for that would be via WP:VPP instead of my talk page. BTW, Alexa ranks it at over 7,000, and the articles cited appeared to mention it only in passing. If it's a notable site, then DRV will reflect this. Have faith in the process. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 23:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• You in no position to lecture me or anyone on civiliity or Misplaced Pages guidelines. There is more to civility than avoiding cusswords, sir. Being an admin doesn't make you any smarter or more worthy of courtesy than a brilliant contributor. HoS has something like 40 or 50 articles on DYK in months and the disrespect you have shown him, and by extention the whole Wikipedida community, is unworthy of your mop and keys. If you had "faith for the process" you would have proposed that article for deletion. The actions for which you seem so proud are shameful. Shaundakulbara 23:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Shaundakulbara, those kind of messages aren't helpful. As Chairboy said to me above, have faith in the process. I am confident the article will pass DRV. Let's relax a bit for the moment. Jeffpw 23:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

User:PopeofPeru

Regarding this edit, c'mon. What are your goals vis a vis Misplaced Pages? Please have some consideration for the folks working on it with you, and refrain from this type of attack. We're all in this together, and comments like that do nothing to further the goals of the project. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 16:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I realized it needed a bit of qualification and so I added a thing to it to further explain my rational... And while you are right, that comments like that do nothing to further wikipedia, neither does deleting user's user pages without asking them or offering to bring it back if they didn't want it to be deleted. Like I said in my additions to that comment, plenty of[REDACTED] admins have barnstars on their pages, to me at least, this is just like that, and does not qualify to be called "myspace material". -- itistoday (Talk) 16:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Why remove Puppets from deletion?

Their indefenetly banned, their one-time puppets used only for vandalism, whats the point of keeping their pages? Roxanne Edits 00:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Pardon? Which article/users are you referring to? - CHAIRBOY (☎) 00:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Dscwp, http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Xachna, http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Evicorator666, http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Nueroqhyer, http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Nuerephyre, http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Bearcatz

These users are puppets who werwe permenently banned. i just don't see the point of keeping his/ her pages. Roxanne Edits 01:49, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Take a look at WP:CSD, the criteria for what constitutes a speedy are pretty clear, and don't cover this situation. In fact, there's every reason to keep the pages, as their existence makes it easier for someone to detect the recurrence of the banned users at some point in the future. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 01:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

If im not mistaken #5 says "Banned user. Pages created by banned users while they were banned. This does not apply retroactively; contributions of banned users before they were banned should not be deleted under this criterion."

Can't this be interpeted liberaly. Roxanne Edits 02:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

But that explicitly contradicts what you're asking for, unless I don't understand something you're saying...  ? - CHAIRBOY (☎) 02:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, have a good one. Roxanne Edits 20:55, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

May I ?

I received your message. May I go ahead and put this picture in a Second World War related article with a caption like, "US troops shortly before the landing in Normandy?". At one time, Turkish army uniforms had double row of buttons, but not during the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922). If someone comes up and says, "Hey! Those uniforms are not that war!", it's a valid argument. Cretanforever 13:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

You don't understand. That's not a Speedy delete criteria. The proper thing to do is to fix the caption. If you're still unclear about this, then do this: Read WP:CSD. You nominated the image for Speedy deletion, and I've told you that "I think the caption of the image is wrong" is not a valid speedy delete criteria. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the user who uploaded it should be made to understand that editing in an encyclopedia is a rather conservative exercise, and in the specific case of wikipedia, there are rules to respect as you cite yourself. It's amazing that the image is around since months. I am not the fixer or the headmaster of Kalamata primary school. I will proceed differently. Cheers. Cretanforever 16:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion is not a tool for "teaching someone a lesson". Please use care in the future, and use the correct methods for fixing problems - CHAIRBOY (☎) 16:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: your administrative decisions

I've created an entry at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Chairboy which I hope will generate some useful suggestions for you to consider. Thanks. Shaundakulbara 05:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I came here to give you a heads up this had been posted, but I see the filing party has already done so. At the moment, the RfC is completely without links or context, and I've asked the filer to provide links to what he's talking about, as right now the claims are impossible to evaluate. Having just read this page, it seems implausible that you are "unfamilar with deletion criteria" as alleged, but we'll see what specific instances he's complaining about. Newyorkbrad 05:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

It looks like I left out the link in one of my preparatory edits. My error, sorry. Will fix. PS, I am a she. Shaundakulbara 05:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll go check it out. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

In my view this RfC is totally unnecessary. I think you expressed a valid concerns at WT:LGBT. In response to them, in a later discussion I clarified what sort of conduct I felt was permitted by WP:CANVAS and what is not. Appeals to Projects to save articles from being deleted do seem to cross the border of what is valid, whereas asking projects to lend their expertise to finding reliable sources to confirm notability is probably all right. I can see why you were concerned by the post that was made at WT:LGBT and in any event an RfC is hardly needed to question one speedy deletion. I doubt a other editors will certify the basis of the dispute. If they do, I will state that I believe your conduct was appropriate in the circumstances. Maybe it is time for WP:CANVAS to include a statement as to the extent and manner in which it is appropriate to inform projects of XfD discussions? WJBscribe 22:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Endorse the above. You have not only acted completely within Misplaced Pages rules, you have been unfailingly friendly and helpful in the face of determined pressure - down as far as helping the (misinformed) complainant by answering a horrifically badly-structured RfC. You have my admiration for your coolness under fire <tips hat in appreciation> 〈REDVEЯS〉 20:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words, fulfilling the trust the community has in me is vital. Best regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 20:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

• The article which you speedy deleted 3 days after becoming an admin has since passed AfD debate. I hope the opinions regarding your performance received in the RfC forum will help you to follow guidelines and avoid conflicts in the future. Best wishes. Shaundakulbara 01:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

A note, the article that passed AfD was significantly better sourced than the one I properly deleted under A7. I wish to also draw your attention to the community consensus regarding both my actions and your behavior. I will continue to exercise the WP:CSD as I have before, in line with the policies set down by the community and the Wikimedia foundation. No change appears to be necessary, but I thank you for your efforts. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 01:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

KKE Architects, Inc.

Chairboy: First off, I am FOB (fresh off the boat) to wikiland and I apologize for giving the speedy deleted KKE Architects, Inc. page the appearance of an advertisement (http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=KKE+Architects%2C+Inc.).

I am guilty of my own ignorance, but would appreciate the opportunity to revise the page to eliminate any notion of company self-promotion and display an accurate encyclopedic format.

My intention is to list the company information in a non-gratuitory manner, list the company history, and notable projects (similar to the "Skidmore, Owings and Merrill" page)

Unfortunately, I did not save my word format edit file, and you have deleted the only version of the page. I would appreciate it if you would email me the text (if you cannot temporarily reinstate the page on wiki).

Please feel free to reply on my talk page. Thanks!

aXXo revisited

Over one million google hits seems to be a fair indicator of notability, by my standards (summary: if it surpasses Bajoran wormhole which gets 44 thousand, it is notable). I know it's a fairly arbitrary standard, but think about it -- people are more than twice as interested in aXXo than in one of our oldest and most stable articles. I'm not stumping for reinstatement of this article, but I went to it to edit it, and found it nonexistent and salted, with you at the helm, so to speak, and just thought you might find it suitable to change your opinion on notability of aXXo... or at least keep abreast of the increase in notability of this entity. If there's no article, I certainly won't edit it, and I'll leave it alone, but I think this article will be written eventually. How's the weather up there in the Willamette valley? I used to live in Walton, just below Richardson Bridge on the Siuslaw. I love the area and the people, and plan to move back eventually.

Is there a way you can revert the Evolutions Afterschool Program deletion you made. There are several independant publications concerning the organization: Here are a few: http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/15340 http://www.museumpods.com/id39.html Thank you. Please let me know if you can revert it. Ketan 18:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I've restored a copy to your user area at User:Ketanof92/Evolutions afterschool program. Please update it appropriately before moving it back to the Misplaced Pages. Remember, it must meet notability requirements currently best described in the WP:SCHOOLS proposed guideline to avoid another deletion under A7. Best regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 20:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Ketan 00:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Question re Copyvio deletions

Hi, glad to see you dispatched those two Mike Gravel articles. But I'm puzzled. I also tagged a third article -- Tom Vilsack presidential campaign‎ -- that was created by the same user, Nick37, and for some reason it hasn't been deleted. I figured they'd all go together. Just an oversight?

Also, for future reference, what's the best way to learn the disposition of a Request for speedy deletion? Cgingold 15:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Howdy! When working C:CSD, I'll usually load up a series of articles that are next to each other alphabetically and work through them one by one checking them out and deleting as necessary. I don't cluster my deletions by a specific editor or tagger, with the very rare exception of cleaning up after some sort of mess. Keep in mind, the speedy tagged articles are, like everything else here, worked on by volunteers, so it can get backlogged a bit now and then. Also, there are fewer admins per capita now than ever before, and consequently, there's an increasing workload for each of us, but we're trying not to get too far behind the curve. In regards to keeping track of things you've tagged for speedy, since they disappear from your watchlist upon deletion, it's really hard to keep an eye on them. If you really wanted to, you could make a page in your user space that has links to the articles you've tagged. Then a quick glance at that page would show you if they had been recreated or not by the color of the link. It's a pain, but it's an idea. It's easier for an admin to watch the things they've deleted, because there are delete logs (I have a link to the one for my actions on User:Chairboy, for instance, under 'das blocken lights'), but then again, keep in mind that there are plenty of times when a junk article is speedied, and eventually replaced by a good one later, so there shouldn't be a speedy stigma attached. Just because something was deleted previously doesn't mean that it must always be deleted on sight. Anyhow, hope my rambling has been of assistance.

Request for comment regards Gsd2000 conduct

Are you saying this link example does not show on your browser? It links to the edit history showing Gsd2000 removing another of my previous edits after he seems to have decided to attack.58.107.15.245 07:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Nope, I'm saying that you listed an RfC on WP:RFC/UC, but it linked to a non-existent RFC. There's more to the Request for Comment process than listing a complaint on that top level page, you need to write up a formal RFC document. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 07:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Is he intending to trace me all the way back to 2001 and delete articles like Kangaroo just because I started them? Where would it end, will he track back my sister's edits and delete all those as well? I would appreciate your help if you are willing to give some time by reviewing my edits he has been removing from the History of colonialism article. I do not understand, my edit is based on the US Dept. of State own records about US actions in 1962.

If there is no option but to continue with getting others to sanction his ongoing behaviour, which frankly is attempted intimidation of people he thinks are less experienced than himself; will you assist with that? - And THanks for response:).58.107.15.245 07:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC) - I'll be busy for an hour or so, am running awful late preparing the dinner tonight.58.107.15.245 07:46, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I can't help you with this issue, I have no experience with the user or articles you mention, but if you post a description of the problem and a request for assistance at WP:AN/I, you may find someone. I was simply removing a malformed RFC from the page. If you look at the other items listed there, you'll see that they go to a document describing the nature of the conflict and or the issue where comment is being requested. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 07:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

"I have no experience with the user or articles you mention" - this is precisely what people said three years ago when Wik and two of his friends took offense at articles which mentioned some black people had been working together since the 1930s, and had elected a national government in 1961; even though the three people conducting the edit-war admitted they knew nothing about the country or its history; they insisted independence is a western idea and the 'stone-age' primitives could not possibly have coordinated their efforts or voted a government in. Later I discovered the three people were also involved in edit wars on the Jerusalem article.

There was only one other Misplaced Pages editor who knew anyting about the subject and was trying to help. But Misplaced Pages 3-revert rule means 3 people automatically can control any article with two or less active editors. No-one would help because they didn't know anything about the subject -- yet they would allow three apparent racist impose their fixated beliefs. I do not want to waste my life dealing with Gsd2000, I refused to get into a edit-war with him and now he's taking his anger out on Misplaced Pages articles. If you don't help Misplaced Pages, who will?58.107.15.245 09:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
