Florentino FloroHi, thanks for finally writing a conclusion to the RfC. Is there another step to take should he fail to take your advice? I realize that this might seem petty because it's only been a few hours since you closed the issue, but I think I need to ask this because he clearly didn't listen. Immediately following your warning not to write excessively long rants, he wrote one of his longest yet--in fact, it's a very long tirade about his right to have an excessively large userpage. I'm not asking for any actual action now, as the RfC's only just finished, but I'd like to know how much of this blatant disregard of advice we're expected to take before taking him to task with the administration again. --Migs (talk) 13:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC) a separate question...on the same subjectHi Wizardman. I'm sorry to bring you back to this same subject again. I was obviously very involved in the Florentino Floro RFC, and in your conclusion you recommended that I try to avoid direct contact with floro. I'm trying to understand what that means, both practically and about how I've behaved. I do certainly have strong opinions on his behavior, but I have tried very hard to conduct myself well and civilly throughout this process. I have paid a lot of attention to floro over the last year, but I only do it to help wikipedia. I have always tried to give him constructive advice. I have seen too many editors turn a blind eye to his rampant bad editing, in effect enabling and encouraging behavior that is detrimental to the encyclopedia. I believe that somebody needs to pay attention, and nobody else was taking on that role. If you feel that I crossed a line, if any of my actions were inappropriate or if I behaved badly, I would sincerely like to know. regards, maxsch (talk) 18:22, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
User:Florentino floro/Learned Treatise:Legal-Academic Values of Compleat User PageThanks again for you many times spent on our RFC. I created this User Subpage not just to submit refuting or contrary evidence to accusations against my User page, but: to present the problem in Philippines, here, regarding junking of Misplaced Pages by university professors, due to the Disclaimer. Now, I presented sources on USA, UK and Philippine laws on evidence - Learned treatise which require, us, article creators on history, art and science, to show proof of our expertise. Thus, I made a terse User Page with each lines supported by reliable sources accepted by the legal and academic community. As you ruled, let us move on, and not only that, I would add, let our articles created be made and accepted due to its reliability, and the Completeness of our User Pages. Cheers.--Florentino floro (talk) 11:44, 28 September 2008 (UTC) Wizardman, is this RFC/U on your watchlist? There have been recent updates; it appears the situation is far from resolved.

Little award
Missalina ReiThanks for the reply. I'm not going to waste any more time on it--this isn't the first attempt to delete it. However, I did want to make the point that Cyrus XIII is setting primary source requirements that seem unreasonable, given the subject matter. Luckily someone came forward who could reference every sentence in the Aliene Ma'riage article, but I don't have access to Japanese underground culture magazines myself. All I can provide on Missalina Rei is a stub from secondary references published in English. Pkeets (talk) 02:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC) RfC closureOh dear. --Dweller (talk) 16:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 19:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC) United States congressional apportionmentThere's what looks to be the start of an edit war over this article and an anonymous editor's original research. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. United States congressional apportionment. Thanks. Foofighter20x (talk) 04:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC) Curtis WoodhouseHey, thanks for taking the time and trouble to review and then pass Curtis Woodhouse for GA. You mentioned you'd like to see the two redlinked boxing stadiums turn blue. The Metrodome Leisure Centre already had an article at Barnsley Metrodome, which I've now linked. The Sheffield United Academy is the facility where Sheffield United F.C. youth players train, isn't mentioned explicitly either in the SUFC article or in Sport in Sheffield, and according to BoxRec, the card on which Woodhouse fought is the only boxing event they've hosted. Do you have a view on whether it would be sensible to link it to Sheff Utd FC, or to delink it? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 19:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC) King's School, ElyLooks like you can fail this; nommer hasn't edited since September and no editing has taken place.

ThanksThanks, Wizardman. Glad to be back. Justin(u) 16:10, 9 October 2008 (UTC) Spot me a clue plsIt occurred to me that I've pontificated in a bazillion RfAs, but I've never actually nominated anyone. But you're a repeat offender when it comes into Re: To be bluntNah, I don't think I'll be going back there for a while. I just had this same discussion yesterday; basically, I don't think I am ready. I've been doing a fair amount of RPP, AIV, and CSD, but I'd like to get a few more Featured Articles at the very least before going back there. And Misplaced Pages already has enough administrators as it is. Gary King (talk) 00:37, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Bank Street (stadium) GA reviewHi there, I notice you've had Bank Street (stadium) tagged as under review for a couple of days now, and I wondered how the review was going. Any chance of a progress report? Cheers. – PeeJay 11:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Disputing a deleted article "Goblins"Hello, I am the creator of Goblins (the webcomic) and I feel that it meets the notability guildlines necessary to be an article on Wiki. Here is a quick list... ~ Received the respected "Most Outstanding New Webcartoonist" award from Dragoncon in 2006. ~ Is published (Goblins Book One) in paper form and is available in any gaming or hobby store throughout North America (distributed by Alliance Games, the largest game distributors in North America) and Europe (distributed by Esdevium Games, Europe's largest game distributor). ~ Goblins Book one includes a foreword by Monte Cook, one of the chief creators of Dungeons and Dragons, 3rd Edition and writer of the D&D Player's handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual. ~ Goblins Book Two is to launch in the near future. ~ The downloadable, PDF formats of Book One and Book Two have both been #1 bestsellers over at drivethrucomics.com, the largest online comic store in the world. All of these facts can be proved, if necessary. I enjoy Misplaced Pages and I would like to continue being a part of it.

Re: AdminHi. I would be more than happy and honored if you nominate me. I followed some of your advice by participating more in janitorial stuff like closing xfDs. I keep reverting and reporting vandalisms, etc. If you have any other advice of how to improve my contribution to Misplaced Pages, I would be glad to read it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:11, 17 October 2008 (UTC) Early history of TurkmenistanI'm curious as to how to attribute copypasted sources.

Thanks very much indeed for doing a thorough and painstaking review of this article. It has been an enormous help to us and has enabled us to do a lot of necessary finetuning. It is now a far better article than it was before the review. All the best. BlackJack | 08:00, 18 October 2008 (UTC) Well done!Thanks for closing Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Elonka. That took a lot of hard work, and I think you did a good job. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 17:18, 18 October 2008 (UTC) Deleted articleHey, I see that you participated in the Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Kosovo–Nauru relations discussion. The consensus there was to delete the article. Well I am sad to report that the article has been remade by the same user. See here: Kosovo‒Nauru relations. Can we speedy delete this article, or are we going to have to go through the longer deletion process again. And can we stop User:Turkish Flame from creating these dubious articles? --Tocino 19:25, 18 Ocotber 2008 (UTC) A requestWizardman, I wanted to let you know about a situation that's arisen with Lenticel, whom you conominated for adminship. (I'm posting this same message to Bibliomaniac, the other nominator.) If you have a moment, would you take a look at Talk:Chocolate Hills, and then at the note I left on Lenticel's talk page? Lenticel hasn't responded in any way to my note, though he's edited since I left it. I prefer to try to resolve issues on Misplaced Pages through direct interaction with acquaintances, where possible, since that seems more personal and more likely to be friendly (and successful). If you agree with me that Lenticel should consider saying something conciliatory to Malleus, would you post something to that effect on Lenticel's talk page? I've never interacted with him, and he may consider me a busybody; he knows you and might pay more heed to a note from you. If you don't think any response from Lenticel is warranted, that's fine, though I'd be interested to get your take on it. Malleus hasn't retired, but he's stated he'll be pulling back from volunteer work as a result of this incident (which he indicated was just the last straw, rather than the entire reason for his disillusionment). Malleus is a top-flight editor, and I'd like to give him hope that problems can be successfully resolved in a friendly way here on Misplaced Pages. Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk) 15:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Naomi WestermanWould this fall under G10, as the person in the article has requested deletion in light of WP:BLP and WP:STALKing (see diff)? If so, this should be deleted poste haste. I didn't want to tag it for G10 myself because I'm not exactly sure this falls under the criterion. P.S. Thank you for the closure on the RFC/U. I agree with the conclusion. MuZemike (talk) 17:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC) Afd: Ginger JolieThanks for taking the time to explain your rationale for the way you closed the AfD. A question, however, if I may: The implication of your decision appears to be that there is a class of people - borderline notable, as it were - for whom a flattering article, or one which brushes over unsavoury details of their past, will now be allowed to stand, but who will be able to request removal of any article which does not meet with the subject's approval. I think that may be a dangerous prec3edent, especially in a case where the person is not making a wholesale life change. (Someone who's now a known charity worker, but who once shoplifted, bah, who cares. But, say, a professional sportsman who was once suspended in school/college for dubious sporting practices, even in a different sport - hard to see why that isn't valid). Just thoughts. (Incidentally, Ginger Jolie's name still appears, albeit redlinked I guess, in the List of Penthouse Pets. I hope we aren't going to excise that reference too.)

Ginger JThank goodness. Thanks for your close and I hope it will strengthen the precedent.
