W.R.T. The wiki article on John Paul II - The quotation in the evolution section attributed to JPII and starting with the phrase "If taken literally..." is false. Check the citation link and try finding that quote there. The quote was actually from a Chicago Tribune reporter's article here: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1996-10-25/news/9610250130_1_humani-generis-evolution-theory and was in no way the words of JPII. 75.23.71.42 (talk) 05:03, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Thich Quang Duc's statue

Hi YellowMonkey, FYI, the statue of Thich Quang Duc is completed and it has just been opened for public (the official only removed all barrier last month). You may go to Vietnamese Misplaced Pages to request some pictures. This statue is on my way to school but I have no camera to take photo :P. I think these picture might be a good addition to the article Thich Quang Duc.--AM 01:55, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Right, have to track this down! YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 06:48, 15 September 2010 (UTC)


Adelaide leak

Finished this for the moment, so stuck it in mainspace. If you get a chance to take a look, I'd appreciate it as I feel like there's stuff missing I can't put my finger on. Feel free to add anything you think needs to go it or to chop it about generally! I'm hoping to add to the 3rd Test article, but may take a while... --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:15, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Maybe my brain is shot to pieces after too much short pitched bowling but er... which book more about the Fingo and Braddles hate-fest? There are quite a few! Not sure if you mean Growden or Fingo himself. I got in the stuff about the Don's charming character assassination after Fingo's death from Frith and a quite a bit about their mutual admiration for each other. Anything specific? Wasn't sure about the rest from Growden as it struck me as pushing POV to have so much against Bradman from people close to Fingo. For example, putting in Tiger's view may be pushing it if there is no other stuff supporting Bradman. And there is no real evidence either way (although I think we all know who really did it! :) ) --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:32, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Yeah but Bradman refused to talk to people except a few who turned super-hagiographer. The serious guys like Frith and Haigh severely criticise clowns like Perry, who is basically Bradman's agent. Perry even said that the 1935-39 Aust team were one of the weakest Aus attacks of all time adn the 3-2 adn 1-1 result was due to the genius of Bradman's captaincy; nonsense; Australia had two all time great bowlers and Bradman purged one of them when he was still strong YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:29, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the Fingo stuff. Should prove very useful. I'll have a browse through and stick any useful stuff in. Rather than cramming it into the Leak article, what about a Fingo loves Braddles article? However, my stuff on Bradman is non-existent except for people claiming he wasn't as good as Hobbs/Hutton/Hammond/Sutcliffe/Headley/take your pick cos he couldn't play on stickies! Anyway, I'll probably see about GA for the leak fairly soon as I think the bulk of the main stuff is in there, and maybe add some more bits as I go and if it ever goes to FAC. Re Perry's ... interesting claims, O'Reilly was probably the difference in the 30s as England had a line-up as good as Aus except Bradman. And they had a habit of stuffing up under pressure (so, things haven't changed), picking crap teams (1936-37, Oval 30, Oval 34) or not turning up if Hammond failed. Not super captaincy. Just my two cents! --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
I was going to write up a Bradman v the Irish Catholics but never got round to it. Did you know about the 1936-37 incident where the board hauled all teh Catholics (except Fingo) to a meeting about undermining Bradman. Feel free to pilfer the all the existing articles for snippets of course. Well Perry is useful for Bradman POV but I used his books before I read widely and discovered that he was a copycat. All his books on the Invincibles stuff are lifted straight off "brightly fades" except that he copied wrong. More ironic he is always saying Fingo is a pathological liar on Braddles' behalf and then plunders Fingo relentlessly. He even cuts and pastes the really distinctive stuff eg HAssett being caught by the Yorks keeper like a fishing net, and the joke about the sawdust sausages in 1948 YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 07:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Had a look at 3rd Test 32-33 and expanded background from a few places. I thought I'd use your 48 articles as a template. But I've got to ask: is there an easy way to do the scorecard, or is it really as complicated as it looks? :( Might have to call in some help, so I'll probably leave it till last. --Sarastro1 (talk) 11:55, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Well there isn't a template for it so that you can enter them in with sequential curly brackets, brick style, and it can be annoying in the existing way as the columns can be mixed up easily YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 00:54, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Adelaide

Why did I start this one? :) I'm up to the end of the first day and can't face the second day tonight! Too much to go in! Don't know if the stuff from the Hele book is from you. It was unreferenced, but it looked interesting, so I'll put back any bits I took out if you've got a ref. Jardine goes into excruciating detail in his book and Frith has lots, but that's all I've got on the match detail. Have you got anything else? I'll probably get to Barnes at the weekend. Kilner finally passed, so I might put up Macca next. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Need to snap Hele for you. The other Tiger and McCabe books don't get hung up about it. Frith seems the ultimate in collating all the other stuff I guess YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:46, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for Hele stuff. Made some comments on Barnes, but not done much over last few days as I've been out of action for lots of tediously dull reasons. Back to Adelaide any day now... Looking forward to it as much as Dougie was! :) How did you manage to get FIVE tests for 48 to FA without losing the plot? --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:18, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Must have gotten hypnotised at that point. but luckily, I think about 30% of the article was already done by cutting and pasting from the biogs, so it was not that difficult YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 00:41, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

FAC

Plz not another 48 article up next. Miller must be feeling lonely ;) Aaroncrick 01:48, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, this one on Barnes now has an objection that it cannot be understood, so maybe never again lol :( YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:04, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
But that's understandable and the standards keep rising. I know myself, I'm over the 48 articles, so I'm sure the non-sport reviewers would be, too Aaroncrick 05:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I should copyedit those history articles that are ready...or polish off some main bios eg Lindwall or Hassett or just some others like woodfull or o'neill....My strategic reserve is dwindling :P :( .... I should have entered the WikiCup to motivate me to focus on writing more new FAs instead of saving them... No points for devil or emu or anyone else :(. just kidding :P YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 06:04, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
The Bios are the most interesting. And you should get points for FAR saves - especially with substantial expansions. Well, you have a huge load of bios (which i cant wait for at FAC) - just they have ridiculously long leads. I dunno what happened to the Aus captain drive. I'm barely editing atm, a bit sick of wiki. Aaroncrick 06:10, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I don't think I'll ever finish s waugh, taylor, border, simpson or any of those Vietnamese heads of state/govt, which are even less likely as I always get diverted into subarticles on coups and the like .... Mattinbgn hasn't been writing anymore... its just Yorkshire and Somerset all the way nowadays YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 06:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Why don't you thing you'll finish 'em? Too long, too much effort? Hughes isn't too far away from GAN, surely... Aaroncrick 06:25, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

indent It might be worth trying to have a push on improving articles in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Cricket/Key biographies or something next year: not necessarily to GA/FA, but a lot of them could do with a lot of work, and it would be a more global task. Problem with the Invincibles and the Aus captains, is that as an Englishman, I'm not all that bothered about them to be completely honest! I write about Somerset for obvious reasons, but I'd be happy to improve articles on other topics (a lot on women's cricket, particularly South Africa, for no good reason). So a project push on the key bios might attract attention. Of course, there's not many people really about in the project, so it may well fall completely flat, I don't know. Anyway, the reason I came over here in the first place was to ask if you could email me the batting graphs template file thing please? Harrias 21:16, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Why doesn't the project target a specific player and pick of the article section by section? Aaroncrick 06:04, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Need to get Ponting up,. REgardless of anything in Tests I still think aus will get to WC fnial next yr, gilly was tfa for the final last time. Do you want a copy of the graph template? sent anyway YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 06:09, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Yep, might as well. I'm stuck with what to do with Ponting - already huge. Aaroncrick 06:57, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
You have to email me first so I have your address as the Wikimail doesn't allow attachments to go along directly YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:09, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Haha, Hauritz is disgusting atm! I swear he helped Sachin to 14,000 runs then floated up a couple for tendulkar to hit a couple of sixes to reach his century. George is a try-hard, too. Aaroncrick 05:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Haven't being paying attention, Australia doing real bad in Delhi too... George never seemed very impressive when I saw him bowl in person. Put up a non-sport FAC, per your request for no more 48s YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 06:00, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Very good crowd in Bangaluru - finally. I know, though I don't have a clue about your war veterans. Aaroncrick 06:04, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Put up Macca at FAC - more Yorkshire, I'm afraid! :) I can't be much help with Nguyen Chanh Thi, but let me know if it's lonely and I'll have a look. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
No problem with Yorkshire. For maximum efficiency, people stick to their area of training. Just need another few hands for Surrey, etc. As for Vietnamese articles, they always languish for 4 weeks YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 03:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Australia's strength in cricket

I see that the info box at Australia national cricket team does not reflect Australia's current match results record and "strength". I would edit the box but I am not sure that emphasising Australia's fifth place test ranking would have "consensus". Silent Billy (talk) 22:16, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Featured article review/To Autumn/archive1

I have listed To Autumn for FAR, but even I have some issues that a couple of users may be trying to add in OR, removing cited material, and replacing scholarly academic sources with sources of much lower quality (e.g. Sparksnotes). If all that needs to be reverted, there would be a fight over it; in either case, the article is looking at a delisting from FA as a result, because if it stays as it is right now, it would fail 1(c) as is.

Blocked editor

I am the editor whom you blocked for 2 weeks. I had appealed to you to reconsider your action, which I had considered unwarranted. You did not do so, nor did you justify your action, except with a cryptic "block for POV and troll".

It is my opinion that you misused your administrative privileges in blocking me. I have seeked help with the help me tag on how I could proceed with your blocking me. However before that I assume that you acted in accordance with Misplaced Pages conventions and rules in handing the block and so I request you to kindly explain and justify your actions. Nothing personal here all this is for the betterment of Misplaced Pages. (I hope that your reply is in detail, quoting the exact statements that you consider justify your action, with necessary comments for explanation. I wish you go through the very short list of articles which I have started and contributed in a major way, which will give an idea of the type of my contribution to wikipedia.)Yogesh Khandke (talk) 09:15, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I am bringing to your notice one comment generated by your action
Thank god for that (add his talk page to your watch list and you'll see it). Hopefully his 2 week block will give our newer friend User:Zuggernaut some food for thought too on what happens when you behave like this.
I did reply to your email YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 01:17, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Where? When? Please share the link. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 18:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Emails don't have a URL YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 23:50, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Blocked editor humbly requests explanations

  1. The two emails landed in this editor's spam folder. You could simply have written a message on this editor's talk page. Now that has complicated the issue a little. Thankfully they were not deleted automatically as is done with messages in the spam folder and so were found by this editor. Both are dated 2010-10-02 around 3.00 pm and were retrieved only a while ago, after about 3 weeks.
    1. First message sent by you - Why are you fighting in such an inflammatory way? you have to stop
    2. Second message sent by you - If you want an unblock. No taunting, etc.
  2. Administrator you have rushed to block an editor for in your opinion pov and troll.
    1. When the editor requested you to reconsider the block, you have responded with emails to which you did not receive a response.
    2. You did not bother to use other means of communications such as writing a message on the blocked editor’s talk page or place a talkback tag, after a lack of response from the blocked editor.
    3. Surely you are aware that a blocked editor has as many options open for communication as a gagged cat.
    4. On the editor's part he waited for a response from you, and also let time pass so that his reactions would grow out of the natural impulsive nature it would have, as a result of the block. On receiving no communication from you the blocked editor decided to sit out the block, and look at the matter after his editing privileges were restored.
  3. The aggrieved editor would like to bring to your attention what Jimbo Wales wrote "Remember what we are doing here. We are building a 💕 for every single person on the planet. We are trying to do it in an atmosphere of fun, love, and respect for others. We try to be kind to others, thoughtful in our actions, and professional in our approach to our responsibilities."
    1. Could you administrator kindly explain how your actions build an atmosphere of fun, love and respect for others
    2. Could you administrator kindly explain how your actions are thoughtful
    3. Could you administrator kindly explain how your actions demonstrate that you are professional in your approach to your responsibilities.
  4. This editor wishes to bring to your attention the following recommendations about accountability for administrators "Administrators are accountable for their actions involving administrator tools, and unexplained administrator actions can demoralize other editors who lack such tools. Subject only to the bounds of civility, avoiding personal attacks, and reasonable good faith, editors are free to question or to criticize administrator actions. Administrators are expected to respond promptly and civilly to queries about their Misplaced Pages-related conduct and administrator actions and to justify them when needed.
    1. Thus administrator the editor's request to you to justify your action was a very natural response to the action you had taken.
  5. Please take notice of the following recommendations regarding blocking "Blocking is a serious matter. Administrators should be exceedingly careful when blocking. Blocks should be made only if other means are not likely to be effective; prior discussion or warnings should generally precede all blocks. Blocks should be used only to prevent damage or disruption to Misplaced Pages, and if there could be any reasonable doubt about whether a block is appropriate, other administrators and/or the community should be consulted. Following a block, the blocked editor should be notified of the block on their talk page, and additional notification on site may be appropriate to seek community input."
    1. What other means administrator did you consider before implementing the block?
    2. What made you administrator decide that these means would not likely to be effective?
    3. Did you administrator discuss before blocking?
    4. Did you administrator issue warnings?
    5. Did you administrator demonstrate that the editor's actions were disruptive and damaging to Misplaced Pages?
    6. Did you administrator consult other administrators before enforcing the block?
    7. What actions have you administrator taken when an editor taunted another editor following your block with the words "Thank god for that (add his talk page to your watch list and you'll see it). Hopefully his 2 week block will give our newer friend User:Zuggernaut some food for thought too on what happens when you behave like this."? Especially since you administrator consider taunting a serious offence deserving a block.
  6. Kindly administrator explain your actions in detail please point by point.

Nothing personal administrator all for the good of Misplaced Pages about which all of us are so passionate. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


Hi YellowMonkey. I met Yogesh at Talk:Nazi Germany recently and saw the block in his history. I am under the impression that there was no warning (at least on-wiki, I see you sent him an email) and that the block length was excessive. I think I have never seen two weeks for a number of borderline disruptive talk page comments before. Maybe I have seen a 1-day block for that, after a stern on-wiki warning. (On-wiki is important because some users use a separate email account for Misplaced Pages and don't read that regularly.) Now Yogesh has an entry in his block log, and one that looks a lot worse than it was. Or did I miss something?

I told Yogesh to notify me if the block comes up later, and he has just left a message on my talk page. I did not advise him to write so much text. :) Hans Adler 19:56, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

The root cause of this situation is a highly vocal cabal of editors (see WP:Cabals are evil) at British Empire who have a strong POV and want to spread that POV throughout Misplaced Pages. Zuggernaut (talk) 23:37, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
User:YogeshKandke hasnt been in the best of his behaviour. a sample of his comments Freedom at midnight, is a muck raising book that indulges in sensationalism, written by a pair of white - Christian imperialistic lackies.

November copy edit drive

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!

The Misplaced Pages Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue.

Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page.

Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style.

Awards and barnstars

A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page.

Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive!
