From User talk:Jimbo Wales
I wonder if you might consider...

I wonder if you might consider simply removing your political/religious/etc. userboxes and asking others to do the same. This seems to me to be the best way to quickly and easily end the userbox wars.

Userboxes of a political or, more broadly, polemical, nature are bad for the project. They are attractive to the wrong kinds of people, and they give visitors the wrong idea of what it means to be a Wikipedian.

I think rather than us having to go through a mass deletion (which is what is likely to happen if the userbox fad doesn't go away), it will be better to simply change the culture, one person at a time. Will you help me?--Jimbo Wales 10:53, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

From WikiEN-l

The current situation with these things being in the main Template namespace, and promoted as if healthy and normal in the Misplaced Pages namespace, is that they are damaging to our culture. They are attracting the wrong sort of people, and giving newcomers the wrong idea of what it means to be a Wikipedian.

That's why they need to go. Not to censor people's self-expression, but to make it clear that as a whole the community considers these things to be divisive and inappropriate. Jimmy Wales (jwales at wikia.com) Mon Feb 20 19:34:13 UTC 2006

From Misplaced Pages:Userboxes/Beliefs

'It should be noted that use of such userboxes is strongly discouraged at Misplaced Pages, and it is likely that very soon all these userboxes will be deleted or moved to userspace soon. Their use and creation is not recommended at this time.Jimmy Wales Mon Feb 20 18:01 UTC

Request for Sources on Merkey Article

I'll wait and serve Wales with the order -- will take about 20 days. I'll make certain someone if there with the camera to get the expression on his face. I don't want wikipedia, I just want folks to stop the smearing. Clean up the POV in the article or I will be firing all of you.

Regarding Kerryisfrench's vandalism, or his wildly unsourced content on neo-nazism:

I also find it offensive, and the page is now on my watchlist. Let's hope he can source his claims, or else we'll just keep reverting his original content. ;-) Kareeser| 00:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

NoSeptember's RfA

Thank you, Alhutch, for your support in my RfA. I will watch my edit summaries... once you get in the habit, it becomes automatic. I am glad you liked my answers to the questions. I will do my best in my new role and welcome your feedback. NoSeptember 11:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that late support vote, NoSeptember had a link on my talk page directly to the project page, and I didn't notice that it had closed already.Voice of All 20:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the notice from my user page. Karol 19:17, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Yep, the iamge of my name in chineese I did with a friend. I think Gmaxwell was more concerned with my wathclist page, where in fact I link to fair use images. I placed them as small thumbnails, however, only for reference, so isn't that OK? I also added a message on the top of the page. Karol 19:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA vote

Hi Al. Thank you for voting on my RfA. I have posted a comment on it trying to clear up regarding your andothers concerns about my ability to understand what consensus means. I'm not entirely sure where this came from in the first place, which is why I hope this comment will clear things up.

-Thanks (Opes 00:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC))


Thanks for the help. I noticed today User talk:METALGOD42088 is back to his usual self. I was going to tell him he was a silly silly boy, but I decided, hey, if the guy wants to swear on his talk page, go nuts buddy.

(Opes 00:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC))

thanks you

Thank you for the revert. Good eye. I obviously didn't want to remove those comments. --01:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:O. J. Simpson

Alhutch-

Can I have you mediate something? I think the recent changes by Pinktulip are not NPOV. He disagrees. I really dont want to argue about something so trivial. Please take a look at the talk page Talk:O. J. Simpson and the article itself.

(Opes 00:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC))

Disregard. We played nice, and fixed it.

(Opes 01:11, 31 January 2006 (UTC))

No worries. I honestly didnt expect you to be around after I sent the message. Thanks for the attempt though. I figured it would have been a wise idea to have a 3rd party look at it from a diff. angle.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/MatthewUND

I recently did a Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/MatthewUND. Am I supposed to add it to Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship?

I dunno. (Opes 01:24, 1 February 2006 (UTC))


-Thanks. (Opes 01:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC))


Alhutch- I'd really appreciate it you took a few moments to go over user:MatthewUND's edits and to vote on his RfA. He puts alot of work into articles surrounding ND, and MN. He along with one other from ND has done the majority of work on articles relating to ND. Whatever your vote is, I'd appreciate your constructive suggestions to him. (Opes 18:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC))


-No problem. Whenever you have the time, I'd appriciate it. (Opes 19:22, 1 February 2006 (UTC))


I saw your vote. Thanks for the vote and constructive feedback. I'm sure he will appreciate it. (Opes 20:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC))

I'd hope you would participate in the discussion at the 25 December page that I've started, per your suggestion of "coming to a consensus" on whether to use Anno Domini or common era on that page in reference to Jesus. Thanks, 1929Depression 15:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC).

I wish!

No, I'm not an administrator (one of the more rigtheous Wikicontributors tried to nominate me last month and I got flat out dissed by a bunch of Kelly Martin sympathizers because I sided against the Userbox Purge) - I wish I was though. I was just tired of the vandalism at that page, usually from unregistered ignorant motherfuckers (pardon my French - I call it as I see it), and chose to be bold.

Abuse of resources

METALGOD42088 is at it again. I loaded 215600 or so lines before my ram filled up. I cant only imagine what its doing to the server farm, abusing resources like that.

Can we do something about this BS ? (Opes 22:39, 1 February 2006 (UTC))

Hey Alhutch- I asked RexNL, and he took care of it. Blocked him for a week. See User_talk:RexNL#METALGOD42088. (Opes 23:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC))

Ward Churchill and User:68.239.122.185

I noticed you just rolled back a couple changes by this anon. I'm not sure about that; I don't necessarily prefer the changes (which are really just a couple words), but they also don't seem like vandalism... rather likegood-faith attempts at clarification. Obviously, an anoymous editor is a red-flag. I see the same anon just added some words to the lead. This addition seems a tad on the verbose side, but I can see the clarification it's trying to get at. So I'm not exactly agreeing with whatever edits this anon makes, but I also don't think you should treat them as POV-mongering or vandalism automatically. Maybe find intermediate wording, or accept those changes that look OK to you rather than rollback. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 03:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:MKiwanuka.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Longhair 01:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

Hi Alhutch, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Misplaced Pages may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Proto t c 10:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

From AN/I

I can access any other site with firefox. I don't think the people who have physical access to my computer are smart enough to do something like that. If they did, how would I fix that?--Alhutch 20:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Are you running Windows? If so, see for some information about where a Hosts file would be located, if you have one. It's a long shot; someone would certainly have to be out to get you for this to be the problem. If you do find a hosts file, open it up in a text editor and see if it has any lines like "127.0.0.1 en.wikipedia.org". If so, remove those lines (or delete or rename the whole file.) If not, hmm... What else could it be? Are you running a personal firewall of any sort? Someone could have fiddled with that, I suppose. One idea to get more data would be to try going to a command line and typing "ping en.wikipedia.org", see what that gives you. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:41, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Antwaan Randle El

Found it, information on his surname "Randle El" http://media3.steelers.com/article/42086/ and here Moorish_science_temple#The_church.27s_practices. Judging by this, I do believe his family obtained their surname through association with the Moorish Science Temple, a precursor to the Nation of Islam. And yes Randle El states in the interview that he is not a Muslim although some of his family members are. Hope that helps. Abstrakt 22:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

A Convert

After much thinking (and reading) after the {{subst:user:no Rand}} discussion, I'm with you. Userboxes seem out of control. I have a few on my user page still, but not many, and I think the more divisive ones really are wrong for Misplaced Pages. I've initiated request for speedy deletion of Template:User_anti-fascism, which is just as divisive as the others (for example, I see that "no Marxism" was deleted today.) Please assist me in this first attempt. here I know that you will because you seem to be a fair-minded person. Being a believer in fairness, I do, however, fully expect this one to be speedy deleted just as quickly as the others. Thank you. Nhprman 06:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Anti-fascism was meant for speedy deletion, but Zzyzx11 and the Aardvark reverted that tag a couple of times, noting that they simply don't want it to be speedy deleted. Is what's there now (a simple deletion tag) sufficient to ensure speedy deletion? I'm admitedly new at this process, but feel strongly about it, and need advice. Nhprman 23:37, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know, I had my heart set on speedy delete, in part, because in fairness, if other belief-boxes were deleted, so should this one - even if in mid-vote (as the others were.) I was going to point out ZZyzx11's comments to you. He seems like he's "in the loop" about the discussion and wasn't slanted one way or anothr on the issue. Glad you like the User List idea! I'm perfecting it now and will come up with a template soon and put it up for comment. Something like that could change the debate a bit, I think. Nhprman 00:15, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Indeed. Oregon is heaven on earth, apart from the occasional encounter with skinhead types. Mt. Hood takes one's breath away. I have yet to see any photo that does its beauty justice. Likewise with the countless waterfalls. I just wish there was a way to get to Lower Oneonta Falls without wading through chest-deep water. OK, since you're at B.U., I must ask about Nickerson Field, never having seen it in person. How much of it, if any, "feels" like the remnant of a 90-year-old baseball park (Braves Field)? Wahkeenah 10:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I wondered if you could tell that the concrete is 9 decades old. Maybe they have it painted? I think Nickerson Field was one of the first outdoor stadiums, maybe the first, to get AstroTurf. So who was this cat Nickerson, and why did they name the stadium after him? Also, is it true that the old ticket office, with its Spanish-style tile roof and arched doorways, is the university police station?
      • Thank you. I wanted to add something to the Nickerson Field article about where the name came from, and had been unable to find anything for some reason. Now that I know the name, I can do so (with confirmation first, of course). I gather the Spanish architecture is not a good fit with the rest of the campus? They did something similar with League Park in Cleveland, and it's in rather worse shape than the remnants of Braves Field. I'm of the belief that they should totally send old ballparks to baseball heaven, and not leave bits and pieces of them on earth to rust and ruin. Not only is the latter an undignified end, it's also often, as you say, an eyesore. Wahkeenah 11:13, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Now that I know the guy's full name and connection to Gillette, he's all over Google. I went ahead and added the info to the article. Now all I need is a photo of the joint. What are you doing today? Taking a stroll with your digital camera to take pictures of odd things requested by remote users, maybe? But maybe it also wouldn't be the ideal time for walking around outside. Maybe sometime later. Like June. d:) Wahkeenah 11:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
          • That would be awesome. Thank you again. I wonder how "open" the stadium is on days where there are no events? Can someone just "wander around" without Security having a cow? Here's the minutia (sp?) I'm getting at, which might cause you to rethink your offer: The one remaining old bleacher section, i.e. the main south stand, looks pretty much normal from what I've seen. However, at one point there was a "notch" or "triangle" in it which the Braves had cut when they repositioned the foul lines a tad, right about where the 318 appears on this website's diagram . That "triangle" was later filled in by B.U., and if I were there, one thing I would want to find out is how they did it... by checking it out from underneath. The reason is that I had heard some story that there were bolts under the stands holding that triangular piece together with the rest of the structure. Wahkeenah 12:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
            • Wow, quick work! I suspect you're right, that the underpinnings are solid, or at least inaccessible to the general public. If you look at the diagram on the web page in the previous note, you'll see a right-triangular cut in the main bleacher section where that 318 indicator is. That triangle was apparently filled in soon after B.U. bought the property, and it's really a minor issue. I'm curious to know what's past those little arches. Does it take you right into the stadium property, or what? The photos I've seen always seem to be at the side (to show its location relative to the bleachers) rather than head-on, if you get my drift. Anyway, thank you again for involving yourself in this trivial but hopefully interesting subject. d:) Wahkeenah 14:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
              • Yes, those arches. From that website photo, it looks like they are "filled in", so never mind about that. That's a nifty web page. I had seen some even larger photos once, from similar angles, but the page they were on is evidently gone now. I'm guessing a number of folks have photo'd the old park for similar reasons. It's just another bit of vanishing Americana. The vibe you felt from standing on once-"hallowed" ground is similar to what I have felt in similar situations. We do idolize our sports in this country, even though it makes little rational sense. However, it's always interesting to stand in *any* historic place, and try to connect oneself with the past. About 12 1/2 years ago I was passing through Pittsburgh and took some photos of the remnants of Forbes Field and also of the Honus Wagner statue at Three Rivers Stadium. The stadium was wide open, as they were prepping for a Billy Graham bash that night. Nobody stopped me from walking out into right field and standing where the great Roberto Clemente stood. I think I'm missing spring as much as anything right now. It is roughly 15 degrees here in Minneapolis, up from about minus-8 on Friday night. d:( Wahkeenah 15:52, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
              • Looking at it again, that building is rather peculiar, isn't it? I'm thinking Spanish architecture must have been a fad in the 1910s. The original entryways to Wrigley Field also had a touch of Spanish architecutre to them. But this building looks like it belongs in Los Angeles or Houston or Miami or some such. Wahkeenah 15:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
                • I follow your description OK. This definitely calls for a followup, except in warmer weather. That website is one I had not found before. It is similar to one called "ballpark project" or some such. The writer asserts that Fenway is a better place to watch a game than Wrigley. My brother, who got stick in seats in the shallow right field area a couple of summers ago, would beg to disagree. Fenway has a good chunk of seats that face the outfield. The sight lines at almost everyplace in Wrigley are good, near as I can tell. And I would guess that Fenway's seats are fairly cramped, like they were at the old Comiskey Park. One seldom-commented on fact about Wrigley is that it has exceptional leg room. If they squeezed as many seats and aisles into the available space as many of both old and new parks did and do, they could fit 50,000 onto the Clark and Addison property, easily.

Saeed Rashid wrong place for deletion review

Hi, this page is currently placed in /india for deletion review. How would we move it to /pakistan since its related to Pakistan. Thanks ... (Falcon007 09:50, 19 February 2006 (UTC))

  • Its currently in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India for deletion review, but it should be in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Pakistan. How would we move it to appropriate category? Can anyone do it, I mean by just cutting and pasing the link to proper place?

Saeed Rashid

Re Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Saeed rashid, I am one of the people who keep Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/India upto date. It is a deliberate decision on our part to cover the whole Indian subcontinent because often the people who visit this page also know a bit about the rest of the countries here.

Thanks for voting! Although this is a bit late in coming, I want to thank you for voting (no matter what your vote was) in my recent request for adminship. You might be aware that it did not pass due to a lack of consensus. The final tally was 21/9/10. I think I will try again this spring or summer after I have gained a bit more experience and met a few more fellow editors. Thanks again!

you are an abusive admin!

You owe me an apology for how rude and abusive you were to me on the Matt Leinart page. I am trying to contribute to Misplaced Pages and you tell me you don't have time for me. How rude!

My RfA

With apologies for the impersonal AWB-ness of the message... Thanks for your support on my recent request for adminship. It passed at 91/1/0, and I hope I can continue to deserve the community's trust. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you, and if I make a mistake be sure to tell me. My talk page is always open. (ESkog) 02:42, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Misplaced Pages and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Misplaced Pages as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper. Thank you very much, once more! abakharev 07:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Please check your e-mail.

I swore I'd never log back on to this site, but this is out of hand. Did you check your e-mail just now? I've sent you a note regarding this situation. I'm online; please feel free to e-mail me in return. - Lucky 6.9 07:29, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you for voting for my RFA, of course if you ever need a hand, let me know :) - cohesiontalk 00:02, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for having my back on the whole Matt Leinart block thing; I guess we're even now. And I want to apologize for my crazy edit summaries as well... when it became clear that the guy was re-adding the "out of the closet" thing every 30 seconds, I guess I decided to spark an edit war and feed a troll, two things Wikipedians should never do. Maybe somewhere, somehow, someone will figure out a way to put an end to this thing. It passed "annoying" a mile back, sped right past "weird", and is now just flat-out "messed up". He "hasn't had time to post sources"? I scoff. Anyway, thanks again buddy. - Davis21Wylie 05:21, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
