Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:36, 13 August 2018

Hi, welcome to my talk page! I'm only human and I make plenty of errors -- if you are here to complain about a tag, a warning, a deletion, or something I've said, please assume good faith. If you've had any kind of issue or misunderstanding in your dealings with me, there is an excellent article/essay on Misplaced Pages editors with Asperger Syndrome found here that might help. This user has Asperger's. If you're here because of an editing issue or a revert I've made to one or more of your edits and you feel I've made an error, please leave me a civil message on my talk page. Being rude will get you nowhere. If you have erred, chances are I'll help you get round it and over it, but I don't like game players Pet peeve: Editors who spend more time reverting others than actually writing content and/or finding sources to support content written by others. Instead of deleting/reverting content out with a dismissive "Unsourced", have you tried to find a source first? If the answer is 'no', it should be pointed out that such behavior is disruptive because it tears down rather than builds up. We are supposed to build an encyclopedia, not rip it to shreds. Deletionism vs. inclusionism. I used to be a deletionist, but no more (with the exception of culling undue weight). I also used to be an edit warrior. All of the aforementioned behavior goes hand-in-hand with edit warring, and actually is edit warring/bullying, even if the 3RR bright line hasn't been crossed. Chronic edit warriors (both individually operating or tag-teamers) are engaging in assholery as it benefits nothing but their own egos and personal need for a sense of power. It can also be a form of harassment and hounding, depending on who's doing it, to whom, where, and when. Being a chronic asshole in Misplaced Pages is antithetical to building an encyclopedia and does nothing but disrupt. No doubt such "editors" are also assholes in social media and other forms of internet communication. Bottom line, it's a way to get attention through bullying and only emphasizes their own insecurities - which brings me to the policy of WP:NOTTHERAPY. How many "editors" are using Misplaced Pages as therapy? Probably more than one realizes at first glance. Don't be an edit warrior. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 23:43, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

"There's a trend I'm noticing more and more every day in print and televised media, social media, and Misplaced Pages: Americans who hate President Donald Trump more than they love the United States of America. They aren't a majority but they are loud and they are being enabled by the press and the internet. And that, frankly, is incredibly dangerous and frightening." -- Me

The Facts stood in front of a crowd of Angry Agenda-Driven Finger Pointers and said: "Hey, I'm The Facts, did you want me?"
The Angry Agenda-Driven Finger Pointers replied, "We only want the part of you that supports our opinion!"
The Facts replied naively, "Ha-ha, you can't just take a part of me, silly!"
After having a bite taken out of it by The Angry Agenda-Driven Finger Pointers, The Facts sadly and with tears dejectedly said, "But...they could. And did."
True story. Just look at the politically-based articles in Misplaced Pages and their related talk pages for evidence.

"Jesus fucking christ, you people can bring this to ANI if you want, but I'm a fucking liberal who hates Trump and I agree with motherfucking Breitbart right now that you fuckers are bending over backwards to push you POV into this article instead of making even the slightest good faith effort to be an encyclopedia." -- written by a woke, honest Wikipedian

"Trust no one here or anywhere on the internet unless they are a personal friend or family member. People love to screw with others online, usually because they have empty, meaningless lives and want to take their personal misery out on others from their computer keyboards." -- Me

Misplaced Pages is no place for humour. Everything is very serious here and we are all terrifically important.

Some Wikilove for you

	Did you know that the White Russian is not really Russian. Merely accused of being Russian. Kinda like you! – Lionel 10:18, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Fantastic! I'll be sure to drink it. Since it isn't likely to make me Russian. Never did like their winter hats lol. Thanks, Lionelt for the laugh! -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 12:23, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

		Thank you for all your efforts at Liberty University and other articles, remaining civil and ensuring that content is encyclopedic and NPOV. Marquis de Faux (talk) 04:03, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Marquis de Faux. I try my best to accomplish all those things. Your thanks are appreciated. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 04:05, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

It actually does make sense...

You see, I was the 🎯and not anyone else - they pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. I've heard that somewhere...funny how certain things stick in one's mind. Hope you're taking some time to enjoy the weekend, Winkelvi. Plumbing issues have been my most recent priority - seems like I've had more than my share of 💩 in my life. Now...where the hell is Karma?? 😂 18:21, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Atsme. That plan of attack you mentioned above is #13 in a particular list, isn't it? Yes, I do believe it is. Funny how real life mirrors internet life, isn't it? You've got shit issues, I've got pest issues. Waiting for Orkin to show up anytime now. At my home, that is. Hopefully, the karma bus to the rescue isn't actually this one and isn't driven by a guy named Edgar as seen in this film. Then again, he did seem to know his shitty pests and life does often imitate art! ;-) -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 18:46, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

The sixth pillar, I guess

This is "building an encyclopedia"?

😂😂😂😂😂😂 - I just caught on to what you meant. Freaking hilarious!!! 03:31, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I did the research - you haven't quite reached the 6th pillar - there are a few more pillars ahead of you - . My research does not include any of the spikes at Talk:EEng. Pardon me - I need to take a short break to doctor the rug burns on my elbows from ROTFLMAO. -- 03:42, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Special discretionary sanctions

Please be aware that you are now subject to the following sanctions:

• The No Personal Comments sanction and Thicker Skin sanction outlined at User:Awilley/Special discretionary sanctions#No personal comments and thicker skin sanctions
• The Anti-filibuster sanction described at User:Awilley/Special discretionary sanctions#Anti-filibuster sanction
• The Courtesy in reporting sanction described at User:Awilley/Special discretionary sanctions#Courtesy in reporting sanction

These sanctions are for the topic area of post-1932 American Politics for a duration of 1 year. The sanctions have been imposed based in part on comments like this and discussion leading up to it, off-topic remarks about other editors like this and this, and reporting ideological opponents to noticeboards without first trying to resolve on user talk

These sanctions are imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2#Final decision and will be logged here. Violations of the sanctions will trigger the enforcement procedures outlined at User:Awilley/Special discretionary sanctions#Enforcement: 1-week non-escalating topic ban. Note that you are extremely unlikely to be topic banned or blocked for accidental violations of the sanctions, provided you are willing to correct your own mistakes without administrative intervention. Also note that these sanctions are intended to enforce good behavioral norms that you should probably be observing anyway.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here, or directly to me. Please contact me with questions or if any of the above is unclear. ~Awilley (talk) 21:36, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
