Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:31, 15 August 2016

Welcome

If you have fair comments/suggestions, feel free to leave them down below. Thanks

Hawkeye75, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Daniel Keem semi-protection expired

Hey User:Hawkeye75 - in response to your edit summary, looks like semi-protection expired 03:41 this morning (UTC). At first glance, 5 vandalisms soon followed (didn't check if any editor was autoconfirmed). dstone66  23:33, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Just checking in :-)

Hi Hawkeye75! I just wanted to check in and say hello to you! I wanted to express how happy it makes me that the AfD didn't drive you away from Misplaced Pages, and that you're still here and making good contributions. I want you to know that my talk page is always open to you; you're welcome to message me with questions, requests for help, or for input any time you need it. I'll be more than happy to give you a hand and help you with anything that you need! Keep up the contributions... I hope you continue to learn and grow and that you become a long-term and experienced editor here. Have a great rest of your day, and happy editing to you. :-) ~Oshwah~ 01:03, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Female pronoun

You referred to User:MorbidEntree as "her" twice. Why? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:06, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

And if you simply remove this without a satisfactory response, you may be blocked from editing. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I didn't know what gender it was lmao. You can't block someone for calling a user by the wrong gender. Hawkeye75 (talk) 18:39, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I suppose it could be seen as harassment of another user if you meant to do it on purpose. That, along with your other violations, could possibly be grounds for a block (up to the admins though). -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 19:53, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Blocked

I am blocking you for an additional three days for personal attacks. Twice, you referred to User:MorbidEntree as "her", obviously due to his declaration of being gay at his userpage. When asked for an explanation at this talk page, you responded by referring to him as "it" and typing "lmao".

Furthermore, in three weeks and a few hundred edits, you have managed to personally attack others, dole out advice to ten-year veteran editors and administrators, inappropriately warn others, ban half a dozen editors from your talk page for simply trying to give you guidance, ignore and dismiss plenty of helpful, friendly advice, edit war, and generally storm around being a thoroughly non-collegial bully. Consider a four-day block day block. I would not be surprised if another admin comes along and makes your block indefinite.

Now, I usually avoid WP:BEANS, but I want you back as a good editor, and I wish to help you avoid going in the wrong direction: Do not edit using an IP and do not create another account.

If you want to talk about things here with me and others, we can have a cordial discussion. If you do not, fine. You are welcome to come back in four days and continue to make constructive edits without any of this past nonsense. The community will simply not put up with this any longer. This is Misplaced Pages, where we are building an encyclopedia and we must our colleagues respectfully. This is not some kiddie fansite where you can attack others. The next time will certainly be a longer block or maybe even an indefinite block. Please learn from this.

Sincerely,

Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:14, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

This absolutely absurd. I have never looked at MorbidEntree's user page before. I had absolutely no clue that he was gay. Gay or straight that had no change to my text. There is no indication in HIS username that he is a guy. And for the "it" controversy, I had no intentions of saying that. Maybe the grammar wasn't correct, but take for example "I had no idea what dog it was". In that instant, I would be referring to the dog as "it". That is the same case in that sentence. My intention were for the "it" to be about the gender not MorbidEntree. Hawkeye75 (talk) 21:29, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

By default, people are not usually referred to as female. I believe you did so because you viewed his userpage and wished to insult him. Because of that, I have a hard time assuming good faith with your "it" "lmao" that followed. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:15, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:GNL clearly states that you should avoid using masculine or feminine pronouns.Hawkeye75 (talk) 22:22, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

And yet you did just that? -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 01:54, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Right, and you called him "her". Please stop trying to defend that or tell me how it was all some big mistake. It was obvious and indefensible. Please do not insult my intelligence. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:20, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Also why does it say that I can edit again on the 18th? You stated it would be a 4 day ban... Hawkeye75 (talk) 21:34, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

The block expiry date has been corrected. It is now set to expire on the 14th. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:15, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Also, for the record, @Anna Frodesiak: I don't think that this user purposefully called me by a female pronoun because I'm gay. At the most, I'd accept that they looked at the picture of me in my infobox and made a joke about my hair being long. But even that is stretching it to me. I honestly think that it was most likely a mistake or something relatively innocent. -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 01:58, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi MorbidEntree. I really doubt that. He said "... I have never looked at MorbidEntree's user page before...." yet referred to you as "her". If he never saw it, he would have no reason to call you "her". If he did, he would see plainly that you are obviously male and would likely also have seen "James" and "gay". Calling you "her" doesn't add up any way you look at it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:20, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: I'm not sure. Maybe I assume good faith a bit too much. If they're telling the truth about not looking at my userpage, then maybe their mind just defaults to random pronouns or something? I don't know. I'm just not all that sure that we should really hound on them for it too. Hell, it could literally just be an honest mistake on their part and us making a big deal about it is just making the situation worse. -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 02:23, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Now Hawkeye75, I will not insult your intelligence. You are obviously smart. You've gotten the hang of Misplaced Pages faster than almost anyone I've ever seen, so I will get right to the point. You know perfectly well how you should be conducting yourself around here because you read talk pages. You know perfectly well what Misplaced Pages is and is not. I have reminded you of that above. What you may not be getting is who your colleagues are. They range from kids to ninety-year-olds, most with above average IQs. Many, many members of this fine community are smarter than we could ever hope to be. Literally, brain surgeons and rockets scientists edit here. Plus, they are all volunteers, giving their time in what they wish to be a nice atmosphere. Show them some respect! Join this community and be one of us. You can do that. Or, you can continue behaving like a little kid and get booted off, and this experience will be a failure in your life that you will remember always. Make the best choice for your life. It is worth it. I look forward to seeing you back transformed. In fact, if you can really explain to me that you totally understand, I will even unblock you at once. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:20, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

I just wanted to pop in here and add something. Hawkeye75, if I were you, I would not get too hung up on the the gender subject of Anna Frodesiak's post, as you appear to be focusing solely on that part of her message. (Although I do agree with her on the subject and she makes a valid point.) In my humble opinion, the part of Anna's message that you should really take to heart is everything that she said after "Futhermore". Wikicontributor12 (talk) 03:05, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

I think I will take the four day break and avoid people in the future that are uncivilized. @Anna Frodesiak: please review the five pillars of Misplaced Pages. You recently made a comment to me, I quote, "Or, you can continue behaving like a little kid and get booted off, and this experience will be a failure in your life that you will remember always.". This is against WP:Cooperation, that says "Avoid condescension. No matter how frustrated you are, do not tell people to "grow up" or include any language along the lines of "if this were kindergarten" in your messages.". If I wanted to take things further, it could be seen as a personal attacks. You are an admin and you should know better. Hawkeye75 (talk) 04:19, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

@Hawkeye75: You can't really blame her for being a bit snappy when it comes to your past behaviour on here. -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 05:13, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Again it says "No matter how frustrated you are". This is totally unacceptable that someone with power is willing to break the rules. And for the record, if I haven't apologized, I would like to now. I truly did not mean to insult you on being gay. Hawkeye75 (talk) 05:17, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, but it's not like she was abusing her power or anything. She was just wording it strongly for you because her past attempts have't gotten through. And for the gay thing: I don't really care if people make fun of me for it, I've developed a bit of a thick skin. But, thank you nevertheless for the apology, I really do appreciate it. -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 05:23, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: I see you're online and you haven't responded. This is totally unacceptable that you have done this. Why did you break WP:Cooperation? Hawkeye75 (talk) 03:46, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Just so I understand, you find it totally unacceptable that I have been online without yet responding to your statement. You did not ask me a question nor ask me to respond.

Speaking of responses, you have yet to say why you referred to that editor as "she". And before you condemn others of terrible breaches of policy, you might also want to respond regarding your edit warring, banning countless editors from your talk page, inappropriately warning people, personal attacks, and of course let's not forget the incivility of which you accuse me.

I suggest you drop this, wait out your block, and get back to editing, as I said, "transformed". Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:36, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: You still haven't answered my question, expect a section at administator's noticeboard soon. In the mean time please don't start a new section on my talk page per WP:NOBAN. Hawkeye75 (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:NOBAN expressly states that "banning" admins from posting on your talk page has very little effect. -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 21:07, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Comment: you seem inordinately fond of quoting Misplaced Pages guidelines for the benefit of vastly-experienced editors. See WP:Wikilawyering. . . Mean as custard (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm not reading the whole article. You can grab a quote from that if you'd like. Hawkeye75 (talk) 18:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I think your question was "Why did you break WP:Cooperation?" when I said "...continue behaving like a little kid..." That was your question, right? Here's your answer: Because you have the potential to be a great editor, so I thought telling you straight was worth breaching WP:Cooperation for your benefit and that of this project.

I spent the time trying to help you understand that if you do not change your ways, you will not last at Misplaced Pages, and I think you would like to have the life success of a long wiki-career. It's so rewarding. Now I am not so sure you will last because I still see IDHT, BATTLEGROUND, MASTADON, and WIKILAWYERING.

I wish you'd just get back to building this encyclopedia. That's what we're here for, not conflict. My time/keystroke budget for trying to help you is spent. I tried. Sigh. Bring me to WP:AN if you like, but beware of the WP:BOOMERANG. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

@Hawkeye75: Since you brought it up, I would like to point out that you violated Misplaced Pages:Civility in the "Social Media note" discussion that I started here (as just one example). As I said, you should really take to heart what Anna said in her message after "Furthermore..." That is all I have to say here. Thank you for your time. Wikicontributor12 (talk)

First off, that was more than 2 weeks ago. Second, that comment does not belong in this section, this section is only related to the block. Third, you already started a section on this topic on Anna's page 2 weeks ago so I have no idea why you are bringing it up here, again. You don't have anything to do with the block, so please don't post anymore if you don't have useful comments. Thanks. Hawkeye75 (talk) 08:19, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Suggestion about this whole thing

Let's all get back to building the encyclopedia, including you, Hawkeye75, when your block expires. All this drama is giving me the vapours. Seriously, this is all a huge waste of resources. There's a lighthouse article I want to write. And Hawkeye75, why not start a lighthouse article yourself? They are notable, easy to source, practically impossible to delete, and we have plenty of images waiting for articles. Isn't that a better use of your energy than all this conflict and drama? So, please, how about just getting collegial, dropping the stick and getting into some rewarding article writing? It's more fun. Okay? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:21, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: By a "lighthouse article," do you mean a mainspace article about an actual lighthouse, or is this some sort of Misplaced Pages slang for something? (Sorry if that's an idiotic question, it's just not something I've seen anyone else suggest before). -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 02:00, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

No, I mean real lighthouse. :) I started three before:

• Bicentennial Lighthouse
• Ferryland Head Light
• Point Prim Light Station

America's Got Talent (season 11)

Hello,

The 'elimination table' in the article about AGT season 11 does not seem necessary (one can see when contestants were eliminated in the 'Top 36 Acts' section), so it would make sense to remove it.

Orphaned non-free image File:GuardiansofTheGalaxyMissionBreakoutConceptArt.png

Thanks for uploading File:GuardiansofTheGalaxyMissionBreakoutConceptArt.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Regards, James (/_contribs) 06:52, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

@James Allison: Stop trying to annoy me buddy. You revert my edit for no reason, than come to my talk page and post a template message. My image is clearly better resolution and their is no reason for you to revert it. Do you have something personal against me, where whenever you see an edit from me you revert it? Hawkeye75 (talk) 09:09, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Unclear why you think James is trying to annoy you. Since User:James Allison tagged the file for F5 deletion, he is required to notify you. If you want the file to be kept, there are steps you can take. It seems that the resolution was decreased on purpose due to the fair use requirements. Why not ask somebody who knows about images. EdJohnston (talk) 17:40, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

It is extremely clear, since he has reverted 5 edits by me in the past day. This is probably because I asked him to stay away from my page due to WP:NOBAN. Hawkeye75 (talk) 19:33, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Or the user checked over your contributions because they saw one of them that was revert-worthy. I do that a lot with new users and IP users to see if they're vandals or just inexperienced. -- MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)}(please reply using {{ping}}) 20:15, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

You didn't even look at the reverts, so you can't even comment on this. Hawkeye75 (talk) 20:16, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

How do you know he didn't? Assume everyone has seen everything. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:01, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Me too. I do a lot of that too with new users and IPs. It is what good, experienced editors ought to do. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Hawkeye75, lower resolution is better for non-free images. The purpose is to just identify the subject in the infobox and nothing more. We do not want to provide a high-res copy that others can take and use for their own purposes, perhaps commercially. Search "resolution" at Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Oh, and James used Twinke, which automatically notifies you with that template. Plus, notifying others when nominating their files/pages for deletion is considered a courtesy, not some sort of offence. Please AGF. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:04, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Worried

I put a lot of effort into trying to help you see the situation. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the old behaviour at this talk page. Once unblocked, are you going to behave differently? For Misplaced Pages's sake, please, please don't make all of this effort spent be a waste. For your sake, please think about all of this in terms of outcomes. I know you want to continue to edit here happily. You must realize by now that if your edits continue to be this hostile, some admin will eventually come along and block you indefinitely. Nobody wants that. So please, be nice, okay? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:13, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

File:New Hulk Coaster Logo.png

Thanks for uploading that smaller version. As File:New Hulk Coaster Logo.png is now redundant and unused, may I delete it? Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:35, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes Hawkeye75 (talk) 23:35, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks. Nice to see you making good edits, and nice to be working with you. Keep up the good work with the non-frees. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:39, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Misson Breakout Concept Art.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Misson Breakout Concept Art.jpg, 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 be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• The image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Misplaced Pages (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated. (See section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
• It is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. (See section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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 removed 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. Regards, James (/_contribs) 07:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:MagicKingdomToontown.jpg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on File:MagicKingdomToontown.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://disney.wikia.com/Magic_Kingdom#1996-1997. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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. MorbidEntree - _{(Talk to me!
