Revision as of 18:02, 18 June 2010

Steve is on indefinite wikibreak, but will be around occasionally here and there tidying up articles.

Please feel free to leave me a message here by adding a new section. I'll get back to it as soon as I can. If you have an Advocacy Request or a complaint I would prefer that you leave it on my Desk. אמר Steve Caruso (desk/poll) 17:43, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

advice

Hello, you left me a note, what did you want to tell me? By the way I added a link to Lataster's article that shows scholarly opposition :) Byrnes777 22:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Looking for Assistance with the Get (conflict) article

There has been a lot of new additions to the article by Sagbliss which look a lot like WP:OR. This individual has also been very aggressive with other editors. See User talk:198.23.5.73 and User_talk:Savant1984#Talk:Reform_Judaism and User talk:24.225.137.164. In additional to combining a lot of material from court cases around the world, this person is reshaping the article "to highlight the plight of the agunah." Since he or she claims to be part of an active Canadian court case related to the topic, this could also fall into a conflict of interest.

I, and another anonymous Misplaced Pages have tried to educate Sagbliss (who's probably Bruker from a key Canadian case) on taking a more measured approach to the article. Essentially, Sagbliss ignores the advice and has made broad changes to the article without proper verifiable citations. It may take a while, but read her contributions to people's and the article's talk pages to get a taste of what she's up to.

I picked you from the list of editors willing to help since you also have an interest in religious issues and this intersects civil and Judaic religious laws. We might also want to seek help from wikipedian who are legal experts. Bruno23 13:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

mycomorphbox

Hi! I'm user of the bavarian Misplaced Pages and I try to translate the template:mycomorphbox. I found a lot to do in the box because there are no exact translations of the shapes, stipes ets. so I tried to translate and for now I made a few of the pictures that I think are missing. I made them in SVG-format and so I make every stipe-pict into SVG. I have a lot of picts now, not all I think, but I want to ask you, if you are interested in my work. I will send a zip-archive to you if you like. (when you tell me how;-) I ask you because it's lot of work if you change the box into SVG-formatted stipe-icons. tw. 84.151.93.96 (talk) 21:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Looking for Advocate

Hi Steve, i contacted you some time ago in 2006. The point is, i have posted a case which it seems to be pending solution on Mediation Cabal, since AMA is gone and i found your name on the list i thought i could stop by and ask for an advocate. If you are willing to assist me or to connect me with an advocate i would appreciate your help. You may contact me via my discussion page. Or leaving a comment on this threat help me--HappyApple (talk) 09:00, 14 March 2008 (UTC) . By the way, a new user had logged on and added some arguments to the section in question. I am not sure if they are done in good faith. Cheers. --HappyApple (talk) 09:00, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Boffer

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Boffer, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages.

People ganging up to disrupt an article

Hi,

I found you at Misplaced Pages:Editor assistance. If you can spare a few minutes of your time helping out at Indo-Aryan loanwords in Tamil, I would be thankful.

I am developing an article on words borrowed by Tamil from Indo-Aryan languages. I am citing a standard authoritative lexicon from which I find the words that are borrowed before including them at Indo-Aryan loanwords in Tamil. There are a few people who seem to be intent in damaging the article by adding "cite" tags, "disputed" and "dubious" tags for the article and threatening to delete it within 24 hours.

Could you please help?

Thanks. ­ Kris (talk) 19:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Editing dispute

Hi,

I'm having a bit of an editing dispute on the article Noam Chomsky. I have claimed that Chomsky is a "philosopher" (he is a part of the 20th/20th-century Philosophy" portal). I thought this would be uncontroversial. The user Qed does not agree with me, and takes issue with my use of philosophy reference texts, claiming that philosophers are "self-interested." He inserted a "citation needed" and I have just inserted three philosophy dictionaries/encyclopedias. This should do it, but I don't think the user will be satisfied.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
