JuK Screenshot

I reverted your last edit to the JuK page. If you'd like to use the other one could you explain why on the talk page? It's not in English or using the default toolbar / widget settings.

April 2009

I am sorry for adding the template, but had to since you cannot blank out something as important as that without an edit summary for us to understand. I have updated the facts and added a citation template as well. In future it will be preferable if you add a befitting reason in the edit summary for your deletion. And sorry for adding the template, it seems that I was not in my right senses that day. Thank you for your contributions. Pmlinediter   07:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

MRI

Hi KDesk. I hope you don't mind, but I've reverted your edits to the MRI page. The tesla page explains that a unit named after a person is spelled out with the first letter in lowercase (i.e. tesla, rather than Tesla) -- no, I didn't know either until I made the same mistake ;-) I've also unlinked all the references to tesla - we only really need to make one link, or the page gets a bit too cluttered. However, I've edited the main magnet section to note that the usual unit is the tesla, to try to make things a bit clearer. Again, sorry to undo your edits, and please come back and help improve the MRI page -- there's still plenty of room for improvements. GyroMagician (talk) 20:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

template deletion

I was going by the tagging for deletion. If you believe another template should be deleted as well, tag it and an admin will be along to delete it after the appropriate period has passed. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 18:54, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Rekonq

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Rekonq. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Misplaced Pages:Notability and "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rekonq. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble

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 The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Nuttah (talk) 15:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Your revision(s)

I am making these changes in communication with the Cannabis Project. You changed a contextual lead photo. User:Tokerdesigner is under consideration for a block, if you are defending his edits. You should work within the Cannabis Project here as there have been problems in this are we are trying to address. Mjpresson (talk) 03:25, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Please be aware I will report any incidents of WP:3RR.--Mjpresson (talk) 03:35, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

It's line breaks, not brakes. Brakes go on your bike.--Mjpresson (talk) 03:55, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

These line breaks ensure that all can read the article without crowding no matter which device they use.--Mjpresson (talk) 03:57, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Be careful with that editor

KDesk, I appreciate your perception that the image of a man smoking a joint (which Mjpresson says exemplifies the title of the article Cannabis smoking) is inappropriate. You may wish to follow the controversy further on Talk:Cannabis smoking, on the "discussion" page of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject cannabis, and at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Tokerdesigner banned for one week where User:Tokerdesigner is under consideration for a block because User:Mjpresson proposed the block-- starting with a false allegation that Tokerdesigner "threatened" Mjpresson.

At the latter site you may decide to join in and vote to oppose a one-week block against Tokerdesigner-- especially after going to Mjpresson:Contributions and seeing what that editor has started to do on cannabis-related articles and One-hitter (smoking), seemingly emboldened by the thought that with Tokerdesigner sanctioned, other editors will be intimidated and uneager to try to stop him/her.

My conjecture (which I will be so bold as to share with you here) is that Mj's agenda includes:

• Using Misplaced Pages to promote the interests of the cigarette industry...

I did not propose the block of Tokerdesigner, I was the third voter and I don't know who did. I have never smoked a cigarette, I'm a hashmaker as you can see from my commons files.--Mjpresson (talk) 21:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

It is the Preposterous Tokerdesigner that put that unsigned note above. KD you will find I'm actually pretty flexible with other editors and never have any intention of WP:OWNing anything here on WP. Mjpresson (talk) 21:57, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Mjpresson initiated the ANI proceedings and got other editors riled up so another editor took care of the formality of proposing a ban; check it out if you want to verify that.

Congratulations to Mjpresson on not being personally a cigarette smoker; neither were Nixon and Reagan who pursued the war against cannabis alias "drugs" to benefit the cigarette industry; how does Mj administer hash without a one-hitter or a vaporizer?

Time running out on the anonymous Public Liebrewery computer forced me to stop 40 minutes ago, therefore the "unsigned" incomplete message; to continue:

My conjecture (which I will be so bold as to share with you here) is that Mj's agenda includes:

• Using Misplaced Pages to promote the interests of the cigarette industry (through his advocacy in 44 detailed articles about the chain-smoking movie-maker José Mojica Marins whose main character Ze do Caixão (in English "Coffin Joe"-- sound like Joe Camel?) commits serial murders for sex and personal vindication). I personally couldn't smoke enough tobacco to stay awake sitting through 88 hours of those horror flicks. To reference another BRIC country: a 2004-05 study showed 89% of all movies made in India contained depictions of "tobacco use" (almost always cigarettes).

• Trying to remove from Misplaced Pages cannabis-related articles any information about possible Harm Reduction alternatives to hot burning overdose "joint" smoking such as one-hitters, kiseru, midwakh etc.-- "joint" and rolling papers are a handy Industry strategy to get children oriented to cigarette smoking.

• Trying to delete information that could serve as a warning against mixing cannabis with tobacco (for example, an edit deleting a reference in the hashish article to an Australian Department of Health study indicating that that practice could lead to unintended nicotine addiction (which is of course what cigarette companies want it to do).

This may explain why, in May 2010, Mjpresson nominated the One-hitter (smoking) article for deletion (reason: "It's just a bad article.") (vote: 4-1 for Keep). By October 2010, after pictures of midwakh, kiseru etc. were added, the article ranked ninth in Category:Cannabis smoking with 1191 hits a day according to a rating survey. This week, expecting to win the vote against Tokerdesigner at ANI, Mjpresson has deleted over 50% of the One-hitter (smoking) article, including pictures (all-important!) showing what a one-hitter is.

At ANI I have referenced the May 30, 2011 World Health Organization press release claiming that "tobacco" (mainly cigarette smoking of course) will kill 6 million human beings in 2011, and scheduled to rise at present rates to 8 million a year by 2030; so if Mjpresson says Tokerdesigner is a "single-purpose editor" at least you'll understand why.

So again, congratulations for opposing putting a picture of a "joint" atop the [[Cannabis (smoking) article (especially without any warning that there may be tobacco mixed into it), but beware, you have doubtless attracted "their" attention and Big 2WackGo may be after you.

• Note: beware of 3-R's, i.e. by simply reverting mJ'S edit three times you may violate a WP rule aimed at preventing edit wars; better strategy is to change something, add something different with each edit, trying to improve things each time in the interest of a positive solution. Mj is a stickler for following the rules and will get you for that. Though I consider him a stooge of the world's leading genocide-for-profit conspiracy I also recognize that Mj is talented and industrious and may do much good someday (after being "forgiven on grounds of insanity").

• Try to find more pictures (make a JPG file and upload to Wiki Commons, I don't have that technology yet) which show better what a one-hitter is (quarter-inch or 6-mm screened crater for 25-mg single servings, instead of 500 mg in a joint every time you want a smoke!-- avoiding heat shock and carbon monoxide and dopy "stoner" symptoms blamed on cannabis etc.) Mj objects to the midwakh picture because it is traditionally used for tobacco, not cannabis, but he also deleted it from the one-hitter article where it was clearly described as used for tobacco. The kiseru picture is a bit indistinct and doesn't show how narrow the crater is. The major fear of the tobacco industry, even more than cannabis legalization, is the de facto legalization of harm reduction utensils which eliminate the need for high-profit cigarette papers.
