Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:35, 15 May 2008

If you are here to register a complaint regarding my edits, before doing so please note: There is a very clear policy regarding the use of non-free images. This policy is located at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria Read this talk page and its archives before registering your complaint. It is likely someone has already registered a similar complaint, and that complaint will have been given an answer. Read the policy Check and make sure the image has a valid source Make sure that the image has a valid Fair use Rationale (A guide can be found here) I will not add rationales for you. As the uploader it is your responsibility, NOT mine. I do not want to see images deleted All images must comply with policy A generic template tag is NOT a valid fair use rationale. If you're here to whine and complain that But <place image name here> is just like my image and isn't tagged for deletion I will tag that image too, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Can you please re-rate this article. It is no longer a stub class in my opinion... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.246.149 (talk) 15:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Removing criticism from a politician's article leads one to believe there's an agenda here

Warning

BC - you should know that this is unacceptable. Suggesting another user goes to see a doctor is a serious personal attack. Step back for a second, reflect and calm down. I'm sorry, but if something like this happens again I'll block you. Ryan Postlethwaite 01:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

It worries me that a user can exhibit such a lack of higher brain functioning, without serious risk to their health. I was making an observation. β 01:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Final warning Beta - I don't care where the next comment like that is, but you won't be editing should it happen again. Ryan Postlethwaite 01:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Really Beta, you and I have talked before once, I'm not on your side totally, but I understand where your frustration comes from. But hey, whoa, you need to calm it up a bit. That's not good stuff, everyone has their own approach to things, lots of times its not the same as your own. Chill bud. Franamax (talk) 02:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

One of the effective ways to deal with trolls is to avoid feeding them, β. Gimmetrow 02:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The trouble with that advice is that this would mean Betacommand being unable to respond to lots of people. His definition of a troll seems to be anyone who annoys him at any particular time. The correct term for that is "someone who annoyed me", not "troll". Ultimately, the person who loses out each time Betacommand is unable to control himself, is Betacommand. Hopefully he will see that one day. Carcharoth (talk) 07:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

BC, you do some great work here, but you can't keep treating people like that. You're lucky you weren't blocked immediately. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Advice request

Hi, as someone who I suspect has a much greater understanding of how Misplaced Pages works than I do, I wonder whether you would be able to comment on the potential performance issues involved with a template I'm developing, {{cite doi}}. The template makes it much easier for an editor to cite a source, as they only need to enter a DOI; then, a bot creates a subpage, which is transcluded onto any page which cites that source through {cite doi}. Is this likely to place unnecessary strain on the servers?

Thanks, Smith609 Talk 14:13, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Very bad idea, why not have a pair of templates, user adds {{cite doi|#}} then the bot comes along and replaces {{cite doi}} with a new template that has the same things the sub page would have? β 14:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback; the problem with that approach is that no-one will ever know that the {cite doi} template exists, and that if the bot is unable to find a record for the DOI, it's not immediately clear to the user. Smith609 Talk 15:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

if the bot cannot find the record have a Doi error template then. if it works people will find out. β 01:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

BCBot

I was curious. When I try to run ShepBot as fast as I can get it going the spam filter kicks in and stops it from editting. Is there a way to bypass the filter or am I just stuck; with using AWB as my software and all? I'll watchlist this page. Thanks for the time. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

what are you referring to? β 01:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, you mentioned on The AWB talk page the speed of edits you can get BCBot to run. ShepBot if set to anything less than 3 edits a second gets stopped by a spam filter from Misplaced Pages. I don't have a job to run right now. If I get a chance I'll take a screen shot of it. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Ive never had that error so im not sure what your talking about. β 02:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Quick Question

You seem to know about these things so...concerning images used on Spore, user JAF1970 is requesting permission from MAxis to include them in the article(and only on Misplaced Pages from what I can tell). Even if they do say yes, I was under the impression that that would not be enough for them to be included? John.n-IRL 14:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Good call

. Right after that he went silent for four months, and returned this morning as a vandalism-only account. Looking through the user creation log, I see he was a creation of an indef-blocked account called User:Vandal Wipe. Antandrus (talk) 14:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Defaultsort

Defaultsort does not work with and the genus name categories as indicated before. Snowman (talk) 21:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
