Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 07:20, 18 April 2008

Why would you assume my addition of a fact tag is a joke? Two sources show time lines that directly contradict the DOB you added. I don't see any verifiable source that supports it. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 08:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I just saw her birth certificate via OTRS. Good enough for you? John Reaves 08:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Not really, a scan of a birth certificate on an email not available to the public doesn't meet verifiability standards. I can't understand how these sources got there dates so wrong. Why don't we just leave the date out (or with a fact tag) until a source can be provided. I understand the BLP concerns but without an explanation as to why the sources got there dates wrong I am left scratching my head. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 08:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, there are some issues with the certificate that I will have to review tomorrow. For now, just leave it because it doesn't hurt anything. John Reaves 08:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

How about removing it, no information is better then potentially wrong information. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 08:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd think it's obvious to you what my reply to that is. Find something constructive to do until I come back online. John Reaves 08:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually I don't understand at all what would your response would be, do you think what I am doing is not constructive? I am I wrong in detecting some hostility from you about this? In any case please respond tomorrow. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 08:53, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw that you removed the birth date, I think that is the best move. Sorry I think I might have been mistaken about the hostility, good working with you. I will consider this matter closed for now. --Daniel J. Leivick (talk) 05:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Thanks for giving me rollback. --Erwin85 (talk) 14:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

re: Excuse moi?

I am sorry I left my crystal ball at home. Thats why didn't get a voice in my head telling me you were helping someone out and it was not just any other test (or intended vandalism). Or may be I have gone blind that I cannot see "I am helping someone out" written in the edit. --soum 08:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Even I was not serious. :-P Btw, what happened to the edit section links on this page? --soum 08:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Real Life Barnstar
		I award John Reaves this barnstar for the user's work in dealing with real life threats on Misplaced Pages in the Glen A. Wilson High School situation. Bstone (talk) 08:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I second this. Bravo. Toddst1 (talk) 23:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

(e/c)Great work! I have personally reported threats to the police before and know that it can be time consuming and sometimes hard, but I must say, you did an excellent job! Tiptoety 23:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Threat

John see this. Another Ip which made the same threat. I blocked it for 1 month.¤~Persian Poet Gal 23:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, did you inform the police that there was a threat made for tomorrow (the 18th) as well? Tiptoety 23:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

There's only been a threat for the 18th as far as I know. I will give them this new IP however. John Reaves 05:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of WP:AN page for User:hopiakuta

John, I just wanted to ask why you deleted Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Wiki editor DonFphrnqTaub Persina. That page was created because User:hopiakuta cannot access pages with more than about 50k and it is difficult for him to ask others for assistance. I just wanted to make sure that you read the past discussions that were linked at top the page. If you felt justified in deleting the page, you should also clean out the first and second archives. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I came here regarding the same page. I realize that the page you deleted and its recent history appears as nonsense, but if you check the history you'll notice the original page documented the issue at hand, before whatever is going on with the user took over the page in edits. If you don't wish to undelete, let me know if you mind if I do. Thanks, John. Keegan 05:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, it looked like nonsense at first glance and is now restored. John Reaves 06:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship

You semiproted WP:RFA during an ongoing discussion. It seems to me that most people think it should be left unprotected. Could you please revert the protection? Thanks. --Yooden ☮

I wasn't and am not aware of any discussion. There's no need for new or anonymous users to edit that page and since it isn't part of the the encyclopedia, protecting it doesn't go any of our core values. John Reaves 06:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, you need to use four tildes (~~~~) when signing so there is a datestamp. John Reaves 06:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

(ec) You protect a page without even looking at the matching talk page? Anyway, there's is no consensus for your change, in fact the prevailing position seems to be the opposite. Please revert the protection and join the discussion. --Yooden ☮

What? Who looks at the talk page of every page they protect? No one. Fix your signature. John Reaves 07:20, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
