Mr Stickman

Hey, BillyH, you must have posted mr Stickman carrying Everyking carrying Ashlee Simpson for me when I autojoined -- I probably wasn't even home. But I see them all now, excellent tightrope act! :-) I hope the Niagara Falls are involved. Bishonen | talk 18:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC).

The BBC had clocks since the 1930s, not 1966.

What do you mean by the edit summary? There were only BBC television idents from 1953. Was there a tickling clock ident on the radio? Adding an additional note about the clock idents to the prose section might help too. TransUtopian 03:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I was off by a decade, but clocks were indeed in use before 1966 - this page has examples of clocks dating back to 1949. Billy H 03:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Fascinating link, and thank you for the info! TransUtopian 00:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I need help with a personal attack against me

User:SqueakBox doesn't like me. He has insulted me in the past and, recently, he was blocked for posting the following insult in his user page: "My greatest achievements here have been and restoring José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero from the POV of another user who claims to write about saints." (See the entry for August 21 in his block log) My nick, Hagiographer means just that, "to write about saints", so it's clear that comment is a direct attack against me. Furthermore, when I came to the article about Zapatero SqueakBox had already been banned from editing Zapatero's editing articles by the Arbitraton Committee (what can he restore?). And, in fact, I've never contributed or deleted information from any of those articles. I simply reverted some vandalism SqueakBox introduced as part of his harassment campaing against other user who was also banned by the same Arbitration Comittee decision. So, that paragraph is pure slander.

Taking WP:NPA into account, I believe that paragraph should be deleted or, at least, marked like what it is, a personal attack. I did just that . However, SqueakBox removed it and User:Guettarda protected the page here. SqueakBox has had a lot of problems with other users and, sometimes, Guettarda has taken part in them. For example, in User:SqueakBox can be found a barnstar given by User:Guettarda in which he says that SqueakBox has gone beyond the call of duty in his fight against "strange" people in the article Javier Solana. WP:NPA states clearly that comments must be about content not users so it's clear that Guettarda and SqueakBox have cooperated in, at least, dubious actions against other users. It's also clear Guettarda is biased in favor of SqueakBox. In this edit in my talk page, he implies that I like looking for conflict, that I'm obsessed with SqueakBox that I've to settle down and so on, all violation of WP:AGF and unpleasant remarks.

It mustn't be forgotten that according to WP:OWN, user pages belong to everybody and I don't believe a wikipedian has any right to transform his user page in a platform to attack other users. So Guettarda's supposed protection of SqueakBox's user page (really of SqueakBox's insults) is very difficult to defend in my opinion.

I'm simply asking fair treatment. I don't believe I have to see how the Misplaced Pages is populated with insults against me. I believe SqueakBox can contribute useful edits without transforming his user page into a gallery of attacks. So please, either unprotect the page so WP:OWN can be applied, or remove the negative comment or mark it as a personal attack untolerable in the Misplaced Pages or, at least, explain to me why I have to bear that kind of treatment. SqueakBox has been blocked for that unpleasant remark, What is the use of blocking him and then keeping the insult? Thank you. Hagiographer 08:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Verity Lambert

Hello. You don't really know me, but we've occasionally edited the same pages as I am also interested in the history of British television, and I was wondering if you might be able to lend a hand with the Verity Lambert article, which I am currently trying to get up to featured article status. On its FAC page there have been some supporting votes, but also a couple of objections based around the quality of some of the prose. I have already had User:Josiah Rowe very kindly do a copyedit pass for me, but User:SandyGeorgia still has some concerns and has recommended that I get "a fresh pair of eyes" to have a look over it. As you've not, I believe, had anything to do with the article before but might be interested in the subject matter, I was wondering if you could possibly spare the time to give it the once-over? Many thanks. Angmering 18:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Cheers for having a look at it, most kind of you! Angmering 23:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Price Is Right

Aahh, flattery :)) I have long abandoned the throne, though, and I am afraid I never had much interest in game shows. To further complicate the matters, there were no notability criteria for TV shows in place when I used to work on years in television, so I have no idea whether the additions above were helpful or not. Sorry!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 00:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Just a quick note to say thanks for fixing the Up Series page I appreciate the time you took to correct this and the quickness with which you did it. Thanks again. MarnetteD | Talk 20:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Deal or no deal

Hi - I notice you've done a number of edits to the page Deal or No Deal (UK game show). I'm a bit concerned at the way the article is put together, and have added some tags to the top of the page and put a comment in the talk page. As I'm not an expert on the subject, and have not had anything to do with putting it together, I'd quite like the opinion of those that have, if you could spare a moment or two. Thanks. --John24601 16:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Granadaident1960s.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Granadaident1960s.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Get_a_Mac_UK_ad_characters.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Get_a_Mac_UK_ad_characters.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Election92.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Election92.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse @ 11:34, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Can a cool admin help a guy out? I want to add one sentence to the world of Misplaced Pages. But I can't. The sentence is factual, provable, reliable (I chose the New York Times version.)

Circumcision may decrease a man's risk of getting HIV but it may also INCREASE a man's risk of getting herpes and chlamydia. (and some doctors even say other STD's too but I won't get into that and I wouldn't put caps on INCREASE.)

The article on circumcision mentions the term HIV probably 100 times (I'm not joking) and mentions "herpes" or "chlamydia" not Once. Click on the article. You tell me if it's an article on the procedure called circumcision or a pro-circumcision propaganda pamphlet.

Can a cool admin stop two guys named Avraham and Jakew (the site's dictators) from deleting my ONE sentence I want to add? Or possibly get new Admins to take over this article. It's a pathetic article now. Thanks

here's the New York Times piece... http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9C07E4D91F3AF931A35757C0A961958260&fta=y

I used to love Misplaced Pages until I went to add a sentence, you know? Well, thanks. 70.114.38.167 (talk) 06:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
