Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 19:10, 4 February 2013

Welcome to my talk page. I have been editing Misplaced Pages since 2007. If you want to know more about me, see my user page. My work, like a lot of others, has been complimented and criticized. And in March 2012, I was even blocked. See the block cases. Having WP:GA articles and honors, and the trust of many Wikipedians, does not matter if some of the site's editors believe you have abused Misplaced Pages. Your and others' insistence that you have not abused Misplaced Pages hardly matters. And it's during that first block case that I learned a lot about WP:Assume good faith and who you can count on to be there for you; that experience has made me more acrimonious towards Misplaced Pages, and this feeling was intensified with my second block case (again, refer to the block cases link). Still, I believe that it's best that I help this site, seeing as many people come here for information (it's almost always ranking highest in search engines, and that type of thing is always going to bring in a lot of readers) and a lot of those people trust what they read here. So it's my job to make sure that any topic I am heavily editing is as accurate as possible.

Any questions, compliments or criticism of my work, feel free to leave me a message here on my talk page or email me. If you leave me a message here, I will usually reply here.

Statement by Flyer22

Hey Flyer22. I noticed that your statement is 986 words long, but only a maximun of 500 words are permitted in a statement for a case request. Therefore, I'd like to request you to reduce your statement to meet the 500-word limit before an arbitrator or one of the clerks (including me) reduce it by ourselves (which might remove information you may consider important).

From the Arbitration Committee, — ΛΧΣ 21:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Okay, Hahc21. Flyer22 (talk) 22:09, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks :) — ΛΧΣ 22:28, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

This is fine, correct? One difficulty cutting parts in my word count tool is that the Misplaced Pages links and diff-links add to the word count. Also, does the 500-word limit only apply to the initial comment? I ask because I see others adding comments under their initial comment, usually when replying to others. Flyer22 (talk) 22:44, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

I see that you left a message with another editor that addresses adding additional comments, so it seems that I have my answer about that. Flyer22 (talk) 22:54, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

I used Microsoft Word to get the count without the diffs. And, yes, you should keep your section below 500 words including the additional comments and responses, not only the initial statement. Usually, statements are to provide a short overview of your perspective to the arbitrators; the whole thing will be provided in the evidence page of the case of the arbitrators accept. — ΛΧΣ 23:19, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. And about calculating the word count, I had realized that I could simply remove the WP:Pipe linking and the diff-links to see how many words I truly have. I didn't do that at the time because once I got low enough in the 500 word-count range, it was easy to calculate that the word count without the diff links is within the limit.

Note for archive: This is what my statement looks like now after different tweaks. Flyer22 (talk) 16:48, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Female promiscuity

Hi Flyer,

If at your leisure would you please place looking at this article at the bottom of your to-do list. I see the article as all over the place. The article feels more like an over-cited opinion piece. But what bothers me is how many times the word "study" is used. Well anyway take a look if you can.--Wlmg (talk) 21:12, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I had seen it and some concerns you expressed with it. I've now made a mental note to help out with that article at your request, but it is definitely somewhere at the bottom of my to-do list. Flyer22 (talk) 21:28, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Why hello

Thanks for your message, I hope you're doing well too. :) Siawase (talk) 13:44, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!

I think every woman likes sweets. I only want to thank you very much for your article about asexuality. The topic is of paramount interest to me. Your work allows me to become familiar with the state of research in this new area of sexology. I should certainly learn English. Such materials as your article give me information that I can’t get in my native language. Many thanks indeed! SU ltd. (talk) 17:52, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Aw, thank you, SU ltd. You're welcome. It's not my article, since we don't get to own any articles at Misplaced Pages, but I understand what you mean. And like I stated here, you know English sufficiently enough (I just read your last reply in that section, by the way). But I understand about improving. And I wish that I spoke several different languages. Barring any illness that prevents us from doing so, it's never too late to learn more languages, but it does get more difficult as we age. It's significantly easier on the brain to learn multiple languages when just starting to learn one's native language, for example. Flyer22 (talk) 18:08, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

		The Human Sexuality Barnstar
		Thank you for helping the Asexuality article reach GA status. Well, I know this article doesn’t belong to you. And yet you’ve added some very interesting sourced and information. I’m just looking for these sources on the Web and reading them with great interest. (Unfortunately, you don’t always add url, so that I have to search for the articles indicated by you.) The article is very interesting indeed. --SU ltd. (talk) 18:49, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Again, you're welcome. As for the urls, I usually add urls if they are available. The exception is when the url isn't helpful, such as when it doesn't go to a page in the book...but rather just the description page (sometimes with snippets that aren't too helpful). So sometimes, I don't add the url in those cases. Most of the references in the article were already there before I started significantly working on the article; the urls not being there for those sources instances are because others didn't add them.

Again, thanks. And you're welcome. Flyer22 (talk) 19:10, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
