IP address

Hi there - now that you are editing from a named account please can you stop editing from an anonymous account as well? GiantSnowman 15:42, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Editing from both a named account and an anonymous/IP account (i.e. logged out of your named account) could be construed as wp:sockpuppetry. Please be careful. Jim1138 (talk) 16:28, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I have nothing to be afraid of so please refrain from unjustified acts on behalf of WP authority. I do not expect you or any one else to appreciate my stance and certainly I have better things to do than sock puppetry; another term so loosely used by WP'dians in the know. Interesting that characterization assassinations are so non-repulsed on complain boards let alone purported statements of fact based on prejudices. I have held the opinion and will continue to hold the opinion that whatever is needed by WP to protect it's interests will be metered out by its hierarchy.William Sommer (talk) 16:41, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I think it is time to engage in a little self-reflection. You have accused almost everyone here of one type of bias or another, but what about your use of the term "WP'dians"? The use of that term could be consider derogatory towards Native Americans. --I am One of Many (talk) 19:09, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

You're kidding, right?— Jeraphine Gryphon  20:10, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

My very sentiments. It is just part of the barrage that comes with the environment right now with the board discussion. I just add it up to being the flavor of the week.William Sommer (talk) 22:41, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Why not apply it to all 'dians since the example was clearly for WP. It never said or implied as you would like for it to be characterized as such. Why not have one of the Native American group comment on your behalf.William Sommer (talk) 19:33, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

April 2015

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Rafael Septién, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Amortias (T)(C) 16:48, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Don't copy and paste whole conversations to other pages -- just link them. Copying and pasting them, as with your overly long and pointless rants, is just plain disruptive and incompetent. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:55, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Do not post

Do not post on my talk page again. ClaireWalzer (talk) 05:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:ClaireWalzer. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Jim1138 (talk) 08:22, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Misplaced Pages.  Your block will expire in 48 hours. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. llywrch (talk) 19:36, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Further vandalism

Welcome back to Misplaced Pages. Please do not add misdated "clarification needed" tags to typos, but either: a) ignore the typo b) correct the typo and (if you really feel the need for clarification of a word such as "othe") date your tags with appropriate markup (ie. date=2015 rather than "dated=April 2015" (sic)). Many thanks, ClaireWalzer (talk) 18:54, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

You seem to have forgotten your previous abrogation to communicate with me and I do not feel competent to do what you ask so can only do what it is that I can to identify such mistakes.William Sommer (talk) 19:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Wow. That's clearly a typo of the word "other". Maybe you could just go and fix that? And yeah, you need to use "date=" rather than "dated=". — Jeraphine Gryphon  20:21, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Are you even looking at what you're doing before you add the tag? — Jeraphine Gryphon  20:30, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
