Wikiquette alerts are an option for a quick, streamlined way to get an outside view.

Procedure

At the bottom of the list, just post:

  • A single link to the problem or issue as you see it (for example, a single posting or section of a talk page).
  • Label the comment neutrally but do not sign and do not use names (type ~~~~~, which gives only a timestamp).
  • Please avoid embarking on a discussion of the points raised on this page. Carry on discussing it wherever you originally were — editors responding to posts here will come to you!

If you would like to get an outside view on your own behaviour, please post it here too.

Outsiders who visit the link are encouraged to make a constructive comment about any Wikiquette breaches they see. Postings should be removed after seven days.

  • Anonymous users et al. at Jehovah and Jehovah in the New Testament use these pages as a soap box for beliefs (propaganda?) from the religion called Jehovah's Witnesses. The statements are incorrect and it is often hard even to figure out what is being said. All views divergent from the Jehovah's Witness religion and its headquarters (the Watchtower Society) are removed. The views are easily identified not only because they are poorly written, spelled, and formatted, but also for the major factual errors. The bulk of the talk pages are spent unsuccessfully addressing this.  - C. dentata 17:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

  • User 69.196.139.250 (contributions) continues to add unsigned, inappropriate comments to Misplaced Pages talk pages. If you look at his contributions, he never signs his posts. A lot of them are either bold-faced or capitalized, without much relevance to the discussions at hand (it looks like he copy-pastes a lot of them). He frequently engages in personal attacks, samples of which can be found here, here, and here. He has also vandalized my talk page here without much reason. He has been blocked from editing articles 3 times, and I myself have personally asked him to sign his posts at least 3 times. I've tried to reason with him, but he just copy-pastes his opinions without much regard for what others think. Are there any mechanisms in place to stop this user from vandalizing pages and attacking others? Could his unsigned comments be removed? Could he be blocked from editing certain articles and talk pages (the Kurdish people article in particular)? Please help! Thank you, Aucaman 08:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Repeated deletion of referenced material on Terrorism in Kashmir by User:Anonymous editor. Talk page He deleted referenced material on Indian civilians that lost their lives due to terrorists, on the terrorist camps in Kashmir and Pakistan, on terrorist groups and on Hindus and Sikhs displaced from Kashmir due to terrorists. The question is not who is right or wrong in the Kashmir conflict, but that referenced material should not be deleted without giving valid reasons on the talk page. One of the best[REDACTED] editors has left the Misplaced Pages project as a consequence. --Paln 10:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
This user is a sockpuppet of the editor that claims he "left wikipedia". I have answered his concerns on the talk page and the problem is not references, it's NPOV and fairness in admitting that both sides have responsibility in the conflict and that other Kashmiris (ie the Muslim majority and the Buddhists) have suffered just as much. Another editor has taken interest in the page and hopefully we can solve the problem without having this sockpuppet issue. --a.n.o.n.y.m 20:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Well done. Distracting from the issue by accusing and insulting another editor. If you're saying it is pov, you have to list factual and actionable reasons. You're right that Buddhists have also suffered from the terrorists: . The text deleted can be seen here and on the talk page. --Paln 11:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
And of course the Muslims who make up the majority of Kashmiris were left unharmed by the conflict? --a.n.o.n.y.m 20:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

  • User:Samivel (contributions) (who is the same as User:Aperey and others) has repeatedly branded the other editors of the Aesthetic Realism article as liars. He also repeatedly reverts to a version of the article that has been rejected by a consensus every single other active editor of the article besides him. When he does so he'll leave an edit summary that says something like, "We don't dignify four individuals who agree to the same lie with the term 'consensus'." 23:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Admin FCYTravis requested protection on a page to preserve his cuts - he did this after I offered to address his sourcing concerns on the Talk page and asked for guidance. I feel his actions were emotionally driven in that FCYTravis was using language like "fuck" and "stupid" in the comments. While he called on another admin to place the Protected template, I feel he had the advantage of a "connection" in this process, and the Third Party admin ignored the pleas of other users to take the inclusive approach to developing the article when he placed the protected tag after FYCTravis's cuts. I've left messages with all parties involved requesting Unprotection (pointing to the discussion on the Talk page), but no one seems to be responding. --Pansophia 08:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I have placed this issue everywhere I can find, and it's not being addressed. Physchim62, the admin who protected the page, ignored my request on his Talk page while answering others. This seems to be a case of one admin helping another to cheat the 3R rule by protecting their changes. Where is the effective place to get this addressed? --Pansophia 07:03, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

There is a minor edit war going on in the Earl of Stirling article. An anonymous user (who claims to be the actual Earl of Stirling) keeps adding unverified information to the article (and deleting wiki links in the process). Discussion of this started on the anonymous user's talk page. Now, an identical edit was made to the page by a logged in user (who appears to have nothing to do with the conflict) with a false edit summary claiming the revision was meant to "wikify a bit..." I'm at a loss on where to go forward with this. --17:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

The edits are continuing; there is some discussion on the talk page, but the 3 revert rule will be in effect pretty soon today. 01:24, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

User:Justen is making false accusations that another person is my sock puppet. I have no sock puppets on Misplaced Pages. Is there anything I can do about this? Accusation occurs near the bottom of this talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Kaiser_Permanente --Pansophia 19:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Was I wrong to make this vote in the original AfD vote for Spinnwebe? As mentioned here, I used to be a contributor to the site before I was asked to leave (mainly for being excessively annoying). When I made the original AfD vote, I thought I was being objective in calling the original article "not encyclopedic", but now that I've been accused of not being objective, I'd like to get an outside opinion on whether I should have voted at all. It's not like my vote would make a difference in the current AfD, since I abstained, but I wanted to make a check within the existing Misplaced Pages process guidelines. --Elkman 23:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)


Well, do you feel you voted with your own personal interest in mind, as the comment suggests?

If not, I don't think there's anything wrong about voting either way. For the record I'd like to say I haven't been here long, so it might just be that I'm inexperienced in the way things usually go around this place, however, that also presents me with the opportunity to look at this particular vote without prejudice, because I wasn't around to be annoyed by you either. Personally I think anyone who would take the time to ask this, in the manner that you do, can't be all that bad - and perhaps the one who made the comment could be mistaken allthogheter. --Almgren 00:44, 24 February 2006 (CET)

  • Karmafist (talk • contribs) a member of Misplaced Pages:Esperanza, an association of Wikipedians dedicated to strengthening Misplaced Pages's sense of community (this is not an endorcment of this community, members, or their belifs by my self), with this self explanatory comment directed at me, which i find is no less then a violation of WP:NPA, WP:AFG, WP:CIVIL, as well as WP:DICK. Now not that i expect anything to happen to this usere, and more then likely i'll be the one thats repremended, but if their is going to be a fucking stink raised about my attitude and actions and so on and so forth here, the least i can expect is that usere at least treat me with the same respect that they do not think i am giving to them. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 00:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
For what it's worth Boothy, I think you're right. --HappyCamper 13:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Wow, thats a first for anyone. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 05:23, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
