Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:36, 6 August 2006

use your brain first, accuse people of vandalism then

you and your admin friends are vandalising; im editing.

Your blog is not an appropriate link; it is even less appropriate given that your latest entry is a rant about Misplaced Pages. Please consider these things in future edits. Thanks. Wafulz 23:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Ottawa Senators

The reason why I explained the goal was cause:

1. It was an overtime
2. It was the series ending goal
3. It was the last game the sens played
4. It was a heart-breaker, being shorthanded.

and about the scouting report thing, I made it cause there was one of Kaberle, too. I like adding little things cause I want to write everything I know, and it gives out more information.

I understand that it was a series-ending goal and was significant in that right, but we don't need to know every detail about it- the fact that it was shorthanded and it was on a breakaway should be enough. We don't really need to know that he cut in and put it in the left half of the net (or right half, from the attacking perspective).

The Hasek scouting report had a lot of problems with things like the Neutral Point of View and some flimsy facts. I was a bit harsh to revert the whole thing though- I probably should've left it for someone else to edit and clean up. On that note, you can check out TSN's player profile to see how they say things on a scouting report. Wafulz 23:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

OK. The scouting reports are also on sportsnet.ca, just a note. I'm a sens fan, so this year I watched him play almost every game until he got injured and I read other people's comments on the web, so that's why I wrote it.

Re:Blocking 24.181.70.227

Hi! Thanks for your message. I was certainly considering making it longer. We typically give an IP/user a couple chances to reform, but I'll agree with you that this person has shown no interest in adding productively to the encyclopedia. I'll extend it to a full week (we typically don't block IP's indefinitely), and if he tries the same edits immediately following that, we'll extend it to at least a month or so. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 17:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. I've made the block 8 days now. On the previous block, I allowed account creation and blocked only anonymous users, which is as soft as we can make blocks. This time I have blocked all users on that IP and prevented account creation. However, we don't know yet whether there are other good contributors on that IP, perhaps using long established usernames. We should find out in the next 8 days, seeing if a legitimate contributor asks to be unblocked on that IP address. If so, it'll make our jobs a little tougher; if not, then hopefully we won't hesitate to block for a longer period of time at the next transgression. I'm keeping an eye on that IP address user talk page, but I was fortune to be the one to come across this case again. If the vandalism starts up again and someone else blocks for a shorter period of time, feel free to contact me, and I'll try to work it out. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 18:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Eart 2025

Well, I prodded a whole lot of web games because there's alot of them on wikipedia that I think are barely notable and shouldn't be here. So I came across earth 2025 and I didn't see anything indicating that it was notable but I did see that it had alot of players and had been around for a while so just I slapped that notability banner on. But great that it won a webby award but you should really add that to the article. Also I'd suggest making it a little more encyclopedic and a little less advertising and game guide. It's not bad but I think it could be better. Well anyways, banner gone. --Peephole 03:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't there's something like a game guide, but suggest taking a look at some other articles on browser based games like Urban_Dead. For the Earth 2025 article I would mainly focus on doing away with the lists and tables. --Peephole 16:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

MAP

MAP-Micromobile Account Payments Hello please can you help me so my page/s are not deleted. How can i put something on wiki without having it deleted. There is nothing wrong with my pages I just dont have all the time and knowledge to put it on wiki without it being deleted. Is it fair to have pages that are similar to mine on wiki but not mine? If you delete mine then please delete the others also, or is wiki biased?

let me know regards simon

Hasek

He needs to be blocked for vandalizing and 3RR. I'm not entirely sure how to request the block, however. scsgoal31 16:23, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, that's 11 and 3/4 years!. haha. scsgoal31 16:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Prijepolje problem

What's wrong with Prijepolje article ?I don't understand you guys... Bx228 18:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah,but understand,that I am translating form the book which is three time older then me,and for the very long time as well,it will be fixed as soon as possible,thank you for understanding.

WP:AIV

Hi, the two editors you reported to WP:AIV aren't simple vandalism of the sort that we normally report to WP:AIV. AIV is normally for clear cut cases like page blanking, interjection of random profanity in articles etc. I've therefore taken the liberty of moving your report over to WP:ANI where is more appropriate.

Jugnu Mohsin

Hi, I understand Misplaced Pages policies better now. Previously I thought that because we're not supposed to contribute original research, we were meant to copy and paste articles from elsewhere. Trouble was I didn't know how to cite where I was getting my information from.

Anyway, I now understand that this is against the rules. I've updated Jugnu Mohsin's profile. All the writing is my own, all the facts are documented and known to be true, the opinions are stated as such. Please allow that to now appear as an article. Thanks, Imaduddin 13:22, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: MAP and Simon Botes

Hello, Wafulz. Thank you for the notification; I must have missed the second article after closing the AfD. Both are now deleted. Thanks again, Sango123 14:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Uer: 195.212.0.122

This guy is still at it. Please check his recent "contributions" to wikipedia, and he is still inserting references to "judaism" everywhere. He should get permanently blocked. -- Dullfig 21:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
