Dear Editor,


<small>Learn more about ].</small>
I'm new here. As a matter of fact, I only discovered this site yesterday(Aug.27th). I found this site very cool and decided to contribute something to it by uploading a logo I made as soon as I saw the deadline. I worked into the small hours last night and it was about 2:00 am (I'm in Mainland China) when I finished uploading the image. However, when I checked back this morning (Aug. 28th), I couldn't find the image I uploaded yesterday. It's simply gone. What went wrong? Is there a way that I can re-upload my logo to be part of the contest? I'm not doing it for profit. I just liked this site as soon as I found it and want to participate in the contest. Hope you could understand and help me out here. There must be traces to prove that I did meet the deadline. I log in by the name of "wikibi" and my email address is:

Putting all the dark/red spots in the history of the Catholic church in a criticism article is a horrible idea. It is in gross violation of NPOV and should not be done with any religion or subject. Articles on Misplaced Pages are written neutrally, with perspectives treated not according to their position on the subject (sympathetic/non-sympathetic), but according to the standing of their adherents. I will attend to these ill-conceived "criticism" pages for the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormons ASAP. In the meantime, please do not create any new ones. If you want to write articles from a "sympathetic point of view", try Fred Bauder's . ] 06:39, Jul 30, 2003 (UTC)

:Eloquence, you are going to have to flesh out this standard you state above because it's too vague..."standing"? huh? Roughly, I think you are saying that an article about, say, Mormons (or Baptists or Catholics) should simply state the doctrine/practices, etc of the adherents without taking a position (being sympathetic/unsympathetic) on the truth/validity of the doctrine/practices. If this is what you mean, excluding the views of non-adherents is problematic. In the meantime Jtdirl moved over material from this article to a "criticism" type article on Catholicism's relationships with democracy and dictatorships despite your opposition to do so. I expect that interested wikipedians will continue to move in that direction and I suggest "Controversies of" rather than "Criticism of Catholicism" for the title of the article listing such because it seems somewhat less POV. ] 16:46, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

FYI: It's been suggested at DYK that they hold off on it until after the November election.

I'll take that as a no. I think I maybe phrased that too expansively. It was not my intention to suggest that I would protect a vandalized form of the page, just to appear "impartial".

::: Well, if there are only two choices, ] is completely sufficient (that is, a simple traditional majority vote -- pick one option, the option with the highest number of votes wins). The more complex voting methods become useful with more than two options when FPTP would lead to compromise thinking like "I need to vote for bad candidate X to prevent worse candidate Y from winning". Average voting, approval voting, Condorcet etc. allow the voter to pick an unpopular option without necessarily weakening the only alternative to a bad candidate. If you have a vote with more options like "Delete, turn into redirect, integrate elsewhere" etc. you'll probably want one of these voting systems. Normally we use ] in these cases because it's very simple, but I prefer ] because it allows you to express a range of approval/disapproval.

The file ] has been ]&#32;because of the following concern:
: We have had some procedures in place in the past to do so, but as I noted, the problem was more with users not following these procedures than with solutions not being in place. It's similar to the Village pump situation. You just need a few people who do the job to have the thing work. The same is true for the new format, where you now have redundant listings that have to be kept up to date. Not only does this add effort for listing a page on VfD (right on top the recently added "suggestion" to add a notice on the page), which again increases the likelihood of pages being deleted without being listed, it also will inevitably lead to out-of-sync situations. This, to me, is much more inconvenient than an oocasionally slow loading page.

Erik, let me be frank. I think your behaviour on wiki tonight seriously wrong. I fully share your concern for how to make VfD a better more user-friendly page, and indeed while a lot of people have been complaining about it, I was the one suggesting solutions. I opposed the breakup but decided out of respect for those who put a lot of work in to this proposed solution to give it two weeks to see whether it was a dud or a workable solution.

For ''anyone'' to unilaterally undo all the work of others when they had genuinely devoted their time and effort was a gross abuse. If you had turned around and said 'this solution isn't working. I suggest we do a, b and c instead' I would have been supporting you. But I regard the unilateral undoing of so many people's work over weeks, and in the manner in which you did it, as the equivalent of giving them the two fingers. Yes maybe they broke rules but it was all done upfront and widely supported. To come ''weeks'' later and undo everything is frankly deeply unfair to them. They and their deserved work better respect than you showed them tonight. You are a competent and generally reliable individual, so I found the disrespect that you showed towards them deeply unfair. That and that alone is the reason for my revertions. I thought your actions the height of rudeness towards many honourable people who had tried with varying degrees of success to solve a nightmare problem.


== Would you be willing to interview? ==
As to where we go by now, I'm sorry but I cannot accept that, having shown gross disrespect for the hard work of others (and a solution, I must stress, ''I'' disagreed with) you then think it OK to use ''your'' work, not ''theirs'', as the starting point for the debate. If you said 'OK. I don't think this subdivision thing is working, lets do 'x'' you would have had my support. But I think you owe it to the people whose genuine work you showed such disrespect for, to use what they have achieved over a couple of weeks, as the starting point.

It is one thing to dispute an article, but you rubbished an entire methodology designed by people who were trying to solve a problem. And that in my view is deeply unfair. I certainly would not blame people if, having seen the disrespect a developer showed them, they decided to quit wiki for good. Whatever about your dispute with the solution some people came up with, your handling was far below the standards I would have expected of a senior wikipedian. Tonight, only one person supported your behaviour, and he was motivated by annoyance towards me because I stood up to him over his heterosexuality articles nonsense and protected a page to stop him constantly trying to hide the VfD boilerplate on one page. Everyone else disagreed, from Angela who was horrified but didn't feel able to challenge you on it (a message in itself) to Hep, who likes me suspects your only defender is actually a banned troll.

Hello,

Miwiki project have somes problem with Maveric who decide himself to delete logo 1b on finalist page :o( He never talk with another wikipedian about this before to delete this logo... And he think he is the judge who decide what is a variant or not.

Maveric don't accept that I help author who want to design variant of their logo which use Miwiki stylised ant... But it's only a variant and respect rules.

Paullusmagnus added himself logo 1b (with Miwiki the ant) on the finalist page... I don't ask him to do this but we worked on this variant since several days. And perhaps an another logo (by another author) will have a variant with Miwiki in some days.

Thank to help us for cease fire with Maveric :o|

== One comments page per logo ... can we change this? ==

The reason I ask is that the Miwiki-on-sphere version is highly contentious and Maveric149 would probably want to have a way to note that the wikipede is beating Miwiki for the Misplaced Pages Mascot. I don't want to unilaterally change the page format, but I think that putting up a seperate page to discuss the Miwiki variant will prevent controversy. What do you say? ] 16:30, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

: I don't think this is necessary, really. Mav's objections are noted and those looking at the comments will see them. They should not get any more exposure than any other objection. I for one strongly object to the clutter factor -- should this objection also get a separate talk page? I don't think this is the way to go. If you yourself don't want the Miwiki variant to win, just withdraw it. ] 16:42, Sep 7, 2003 (UTC)

:: I proposed this because mav feels (I think) that many people may vote for the Miwiki variant without knowing about the underlying mascot issue &mdash; hence the "backdoor" statements. If he can be assured that everyone knows about it, then he shouldn't object. I don't really think that it needs its own page, but I want to keep the peace. How about having a few pro/con bullets for each logo (on the main page or not) like on ]? Or (with so many people and so big a change) would that cause hard feelings? If we don't have either of those, I'll do what I can to make the Miwiki section easy to find on the logo talk page. ] 17:05, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)


::: Fur purposes of internationalization, I would like the main page to be mostly free of text.

* re:BuddhaInside -> ]

== undeletion ==

NP re the undeletion. But under ''no'' circumstances should it be a ''live'' page, ie, it should be archived. One of the nightmare problems with holding delete debates on talk pages is that the debate gets muddled with host of other issues. The idea with creating a ''separate'' deletion debate was to have a clear page ''only'' about deletion ''and nothing else''. It was to be totally self contained and singularly focused, not, as Martin, bless him, has a tendency to do, meander into ten issues at one, then raise another twenty, and leave everyone at the end completely confused as to what decisions had been taken. (I think Martin thinks I don't like him. Actually I do. I just his 'yerrah lets discuss everything remotely connected with the issue at one, and maybe throw in the kitchen sink as well' approach infuriating. Organisations run like that invariably collapse in confusion and indecisiveness. It may be a great theory, doing things like that, but it does not work in reality!) So the intention was to say - this page is ''only'' about the issue of deletion, nothing else, that decision will be taken in exactly 7 days, not 17, as all too often happens, with the page terminating at the end of the debate. I was thinking of undeleting it myself.

As a long term policy, I would suggest that:
# Where a complex issue is being discussed on the VfD page and it is too big an issue for there, a special deletion page is constructed, linked to the VfD page, where all the debate takes place.
# At the end of the debate (ie, a strictly applied 7 days) the page is archived.
# A sub-page could link to the main page, at which all archived pages, such as this, would be placed.

What we have to avoid is Martin's tendency to keep alive a debate that, as in this case, was decided in favour of deletion, by using the deletion page as a 'lets talk some more about anything and everything connected with this issue' page. So I have no problem ''keeping'' the page as a record, but under no circumstances should it remain live. Wiki policy is to delete talk pages when the main article is deleted. Archives are kept as archives. If all Martin wants to do is keep the page to continue the discussion then it defeats the entire purpose of the page and runs contrary to longstanding wiki policy on talk pages about deleted articles.

BTW, while I'm here, I'm sorry if I was a bit sharp with you about the day delete pages some nights ago. I disagreed with the manner in which you did it, not with the fact that it was done. The trouble with wiki is that with ''so'' many pages where discussions can take place, some people's unhappiness with some discussion may not be widely known unless people read every page. Your decision came out of the blue to me, as indeed did the original creation of them. We had the same problem with the issue of the 'new' page. Maybe we should have a page listed at the top of Recent Changes called ] where the fact that 'x' is controversial is listed, along with links to the various pages it is being discussed on. I don't think it should be the debate page, merely a signpost that says - issue 'x' is hot right now. See talk on pages 'a', 'b' and 'c'. lol ] 22:06, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

But then again, it doesn't need to be -- if nobody can vote zero, voting 1 is the logical equivalent. Anyhow, I'm not very happy with votes of the type "every other logo gets a 1", because that to me indicates that you are not even willing to go to the effort of naming the logos which you despise.

Why did you give as an argument for bad grade the fact it was not transparent for one of the logos n°7 ?
It is obvious that the final logo will have to be transparent. And the fact the other ones of the serie were transparent made it obvious to my opinion that this one could be (I just saved it in the wrong format).
There are several other logos which were not saved with transparency. You did not mention anything about them.

If being transparent the day of submission was a requirement, why did not you just refused all the non transparent logos and said they did not fit the requirements ?

If not, why do you publicly insist on the fact one of mine is non transparent but say nothing about the other ones, just as if it was clearly obvious that this one should not be voted for because of this argument ?

Really, saying it is ugly is far from enough as an argument. This is just a question of taste. Nothing wrong with that.

If a technical flaw is not acceptable, you should just plainly mention it, and I will remove this logo.

And this is not particularly to defend my logos (I truely prefer the sphere, and actually the sunflower as well), but I think this is not very honest.

If the logo is at least well done technically and the artist has already promised to fix it (as Neoloux has for Ncwiki), that's less of a problem, but in the case of 7d, the whole logo has an unfinished, ugly look.

::You can't reproach someone not to have promised to do it transparent when you never ask. Whatever the quality of my logo, I think it is quite dishonest to use the fact one variant is not transparent when all the others are, just because of the way it was saved. Btw, should the current set be chosen, it will need to be transparent of course.

:::Never ask? Please read the guidelines on ].]

: Yes, ugly is not much of an argument. It is always difficult, if not impossible, to argue about taste. Many people hate ants altogether and have voted all the ant logos 1. Do you want to argue with them, too? You can't always convince people -- what we like and what we do not like has been formed in our brains long before we started this logo contest. Even though I do not like the puzzle sphere much, it seems to be popular among many voters. That's life.

::You did not understand me well at all. Please check again. I said ugly was a very acceptable argument :-) Everyone has different taste, and that's it. I don't care whether some people don't like it; it is enough for my personal pleasure that *some* people like it :-) As for insects being scary for many people, believe me, when you see how many people make a face or plainly refuse to dissect a wasp or a similar insect because they are either scared or disgusted, you get aware there are some battles lost from the very beginning. That's life :-)

: As for the comments, they are supposed to influence people. They are your best way to make some last minute propaganda for your favorite logo. That hopefully makes things more interesting.] 17:32, Sep 16, 2003 (UTC)

::Hum. Fair enough. Do we have the right to change our votes ? I didnot check. We are so numerous that it would not be interesting. But...imagine a vote with 30 people, a number where your vote is likely to really have weight. And set a rule where people can make comment (and so influence others) but not change their mind during vote. Then, one will have to decide between voting first (in hope of influencing others, but blind vote) or last (no influence on other votes, but more chance to tip the balance by voting tactic). That would be funny. ]

:::In the current setup, changing your vote is possible until the deadline.]

== Invalidating my votes ==

0 means I'm not voting for the logo. It's simply a placeholder to be systematic. ] 17:57, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC).

: Please don't do that, people might get confused by the meaning (see discussion with Ap above). Just don't vote for logos you don't want to vote for.] 18:10, Sep 16, 2003 (UTC)

== Formatting change on ILV/Ballot ==

Erik-- is it all right if I changed the ] page so that the usernames are ==-style headings? I think that would be a lot better: there would be a table of contents, making it easier to edit a specific ballot. Also, we could have a heading at the bottom saying "edit this section and place your ballot above it", like we used to have on ]. Any objections to this? (BTW, thanks for all of your hard work on the logo vote!) --] 01:18, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)

: I considered that, but the TOC would be massive. Feel free to experiment with it, though -- we can always change it back if it doesn't work.

== 0er-Stimmen ==

Hi,

aber wenn ich die Stimmen fuer die Logos entferne, dann zaehlt es als 0? Warum darf ich dann nicht 0 schreiben? -- ] 04:32, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)
:Weil die Richtlinien 1-5 sagten. Mindestens das wurde erklärt.-] 04:44, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)

:Nee, sie "zählen" nicht als 0 -- sie zählen überhaupt nicht. D.h. die Summe der Bewertungen für jedes Logo wird durch die Zahl derjenigen Nutzer dividiert, die darüber abgestimmt haben, "0er"-Stimmen gibt es nicht.] 05:20, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)

== Logo Voting Rules Being Broken ==

The rules (on the main logo vote) say "In the final stage, the 10 submissions with the highest number of votes, with up to 4 variants". Several of the logos have 5 variants. Did you allow this? ] 17:22, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC).

: This should be understood as "one logo per person and up to 4 ''additional'' variants of that logo".] 20:24, Sep 17, 2003 (UTC)

== Thanks for watching... ==

Just wanted to say it's very encouraging for a new user like me to have my new contributions posted on the Main Page two days in a row! I appreciate it. I'll be out of town with limited web access for a few days, but I'll start working again on 22 September...

Danke, ] 03:35, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)

: You're welcome. I have to admit that I usually don't look at who the author is, but you seem to have done a good job at absorbing our content and style guidelines -- I would not have recognized that this was the work of a new user.] 21:49, Sep 19, 2003 (UTC)

== logo submission ==

hi, i am very happy, that my logos are within the final lists. i did not response to your mail because during the final vote i was in holiday and came back on september 17. so, unfortunately i could not make changes but i think they work well in that stage of design. if they are selected, which would be very nice, i of course can do some little refinements.

== circ edits & diff ==

Yes. I started from two edits back, with your last edit. That page needs to have all the micro-crud that people (mostly anons) add one little bit at a time pruned back to size every couple of months. You had it looking pretty good a while back, but it was getting really messy again. I didn't have time to do a proper re-wrire, but that has at least got it somewhere back in the ball-park. The 19th century section could probably use some attention, too. Cheers -- ] 02:09, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)


== quicksilver & metaweb ==

I'm working on a project based on the wikipedia MediaWiki engine to create a set of annotations on Neal Stephenson's upcoming book Quicksilver. It's going to be a public site. I've seeded some of the entries with text from the Misplaced Pages for our internal release, and I wanted to invite you to participate and also ask you whether it's OK to use some of the Misplaced Pages content for our public release (I realize the license is GFDL, but I still wanted to make sure that we don't just launch without asking). Send me email and I can give you the URL and password for the internal site. patrick@appliedminds.net --] 21:29, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)

: Thanks for the invitation, but I'm no big sci-fi fan, sorry. But it's always good to see new MediaWiki sites. Let me know if you have any question about setting it up. Of course you can use Misplaced Pages content. Will the Quicksilver wiki content be under the FDL?] 21:42, Sep 19, 2003 (UTC)

:: Our current license is identical to Misplaced Pages's -- GFDL with the same options set. But one of the people behind this project asked about using Lessig's license. They seem to require and grant the same things to me. Has anyone determined whether these are compatible? What I want is for the Misplaced Pages to be able to use Metaweb content, and vice-versa. --] 22:30, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)

::: I haven't seen a detailed analysis yet. From a naive understanding I would say that CC-SA might be compatible in one direction, that is, Misplaced Pages might be able to use CC-SA content, but not vice versa. That is because CC-SA places less restrictions on content than the FDL (no invariant sections etc.). I definitely recommend using the FDL if you want to maintain compatibility.] 02:37, Sep 20, 2003 (UTC)

:::: My naïve understanding is that they are incompatible, as both require that derivitive works be licensed under themselves. Section 4b of the CC-SA: "''You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform a Derivative Work '''only under the terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy''' or phonorecord of each Derivative Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. '''You may not offer or impose any terms on the Derivative Works that alter or restrict the terms of this License''' or the recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder, and You must '''keep intact all notices that refer to this License''' and to the disclaimer of warranties. ...''"

:::: I should note though that it's perfectly possible to have separate pages with different licenses on one wiki, so long as you're careful about mixing content. (Such as on .) --] 02:48, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Did you ever see my suggestion that the TOC ignore spaces if they're the last character in the header? ] 17:32, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)

: Could be. This is probably just one line of code. Why was that a problem again?] 17:36, Sep 20, 2003 (UTC)

Look in the TOC. If I do a header == like this == it gets an ugly space at the end of the TOC link.

: I see. This is only visible if underlining is enabled (yuck). I'll see to fixing it.]

==Cluttered voting process==
From ]
Its fairly clear now that the PM logo is not in the lead, as was tabled yesterdday--
# 8: 3.285714286 (69 points, 21 votes)
# 4d: 3.1 (62 points, 20 votes)
# 3a: 3.0 (63 points, 21 votes)
# 5: 3.0 (3 points, 1 votes)
# 4: 3.0 (3 points, 1 votes)
# 10: 2.96 (74 points, 25 votes)
# 1a: 2.92 (73 points, 25 votes)
# 5e: 2.727272727 (60 points, 22 votes)
# 5a: 2.523809524 (53 points, 21 votes)
# 5c: 2.523809524 (53 points, 21 votes)
# 3b: 2.5 (50 points, 20 votes)

Im going to go out on a limb now and state that my premise was correct -- that cluttered rules about final versions have prejudiced the voting, and Erik's statement that changes can be made post-voting do not make sense, if we are in fact not voting on final versions now. Judging by how many people claim that the PM logo was "too cluttered"-- (perhaps following Eloquence's lead) its only clear that unlcear rules have to some degree spoiled this process. ] 22:32, Sep 20, 2003 (UTC)

: You're wrong. The rules weren't unclear.] 01:54, Sep 21, 2003 (UTC)

----
''(In response to whether I would be willing to modify my logo if it gets selected:)''

:'''short answer:''' Yes. It's preferable if other people try their hands at it too.

:'''long answer:''' I was glad to see that the possibility for logo change after the competition brought up. It would be great if other people could get a chance to "re-execute" the logo, so that those with more experience/knowledge/luck would be able to change things for the better in subtle but very visible ways. Also, I am busier than I was over the summer, so I worry about commiting to doing things that I'll just put off. But (1) I'm not ''that'' busy, especially over the course of a week, and (2) it's my duty to do what I can to come up with a logo that there can be consensus over (''cf.'' the joke about how programming is like sex &mdash;l I'd really rather not have people feel that I imposed a cluttered tyranny of the majority). Specifically about the "kallo" thing, I noticed it too, and wanted to add at least one non-latin character to break up the word, but I couldn't think of a good, quick way to do that.

:Another reason that having other people try to implement changes is that they can see things that I can't. Toward the end, I uploaded a version that I thought was a serious change and (as far as I can tell) no one could tell the difference. I have gotten really reductionist and I need people to tell me what the big picture looks like. I admit to being a little frustrated by being unable to see the clutteredness.

:But, I don't want to try to foist the job off on anyone else. If anyone wants to try something themselves, I'll enjoy providing support (the vast majority of the work was done with free software), and I'll be trying stuff concurrently with them, but I'll do it alone if no one else wants to touch it. ] 00:18, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)

== Your greeting ==

Dear Eloquence,

Thank you for your greeting. The work against cranks is unending because they are driven by religion, sex and politics.

@Sfan00 IMG: I'll look in my archives and let you know later today.--Eloquence*
@Sfan00 IMG: I was able to reconstruct the sequence of events that led to that photo being uploaded:
  1. The photographer posted a long comment about the facility here on en.wp including the comment that the photos are "available for the asking".
  2. I replied to that comment on-wiki (see above) and offered to upload the photos on his behalf.
  3. He emailed me a bunch of photos, and I picked one of them to upload. There was no licensing statement in the email.
I'm not sure if that would pass muster today, though I would argue that the result clearly reflects his intent. I've tried emailing him to be sure, but unfortunately the original address is no longer working, and a Google search suggests that he may have died years ago.--Eloquence* 22:55, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Do you mind if I nominate it for WP:DYK? --MelanieN (talk) 23:45, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
@MelanieN: Not at all! -- just a note that I won't be able to personally address any issues that come up in DYK review immediately.--Eloquence* 23:49, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

FYI: It's been suggested at DYK that they hold off on it until after the November election.

ProcrastinatingReader: LOL, I know. And yet, in spite of its enduring popularity, I still think of Bitcoin as mainly a speculative asset.--Eloquence* 16:06, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
Agree. It's unsustainable as a currency, from transaction fees to energy consumption if not adoption (considering most popular fiat exchanges have either hard limits or strong KYC requirements; Coinbase now asks for more than my bank!) As you say, though, its in the interest of investors to maintain the facade.
