Moors murders

You revert once more more on this article and you'll see your arse at 3RR. It's OK to take the piss on video games articles or other pop culture crap, but not on mass murders. Malleus Fatuorum 21:30, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to report you and the other person for removing a POV tag from an article, threatening me, and personal attacks. JoshuSasori (talk) 21:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Go ahead. I can only assume that you feel lucky. Malleus Fatuorum 21:39, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Changing the subject, why do you want to present Myra Hindley in a sympathetic light, anyway? JoshuSasori (talk) 21:41, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't. Unlike you I just want to see a balanced account of the events. Malleus Fatuorum 21:46, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing this issue is one which has been brought up before, since you seem to have your ducks lined up. JoshuSasori (talk) 21:54, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

One problem is, Joshu, that this has been reviewed as a "Featured Article". The editors who have spent most time on it (in a littlle edit club, I am thinking) are reluctant for any other to change it. This often seem to happen with FAs. But the other problem is that this particular editor just likes to be rude for the sake of it. because he knows best all the time. The way you have been talked to on that Talk Page is nothig short of offensive. Please don't take it personally. He is like that with every time. Even his edit summary offensive: e.g. "removing piss take". 20.133.0.13 (talk) 09:11, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I often noticed odd things in W. articles for years before I made this account, and I remember noticing the oddity of that article years ago. As for this editor, I think it's like a dog, the smaller the dog, the more it barks. JoshuSasori (talk) 10:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Pizza cheese merge discussion

There is a merge discussion in which you may wish to participate.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 21:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Infobox Korean Film

There is a debate on Template Talk on the topic of merging Infobox Korean Film into the generic Infobox Film category. While it is specifically about Korean cinema, debate on the Japanese and Chinese templates have been brought in as well but currently there are no Japanese or Chinese film editors in the debate. As you are someone from the Japanese cinema task force I would appreciate it if you would take it a look and contribute your thoughts. Thank you. ₪RicknAsia₪ 04:17, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Perl Data Language

You have added many tags (6) to the Perl Data Language article, but have left no comments on the article talk page as to what specifically are the problems with the article, and hardly anything in the history comments. Would you please elaborate? Dododerek (talk) 21:45, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I reviewed the tags on the page. Each tag has a link to the relevant policy, which makes it self-explanatory. I don't see why elaboration on the talk page is required. Perhaps you are not familiar with Misplaced Pages's neutrality policy or requirement for reliable references? To save time having to point everything out on each talk page of each article tagged, there is a link from each tag to the relevant policy. If you are concerned about these tags, please read the links on the tags, and rewrite the article according to Misplaced Pages policies. For example, Misplaced Pages requires multiple third-party sourcing to reliable sources to establish notability. Incidentally, I was able to find some sources for the article by Google searching, otherwise I would have nominated it for deletion. If you can't understand the policy documents, which are quite long and confusing, then I will try to help explain them, if you leave a message here. If you don't want to do that, at least please leave the tags on the page so that it will be findable for other Misplaced Pages volunteers who do this kind of filling-in work. Thanks again for your message, and please let me know if you need any help understanding the linked Misplaced Pages policy documents. JoshuSasori (talk) 22:09, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

oh, I can read and understand English just fine (though you are correct those policy documents are rather long and boring). I was just hoping for more than a drive-by tagging. I think the main issue is one that probably confronts a lot of WP articles--the people who know the most about a topic aren't considered unbiased sources, and even if a "reputable" source did write about it, their one or two sources would be the same as the sources that could contribute to the WP article directly. So it's a bit tricky. I'll see what improvements can be made. It looks like the NumPy article is more well-sourced, so that should provide some good guidance. Dododerek (talk) 22:44, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Article tagging is one of two activities I do on Misplaced Pages. As I read the articles, I tag them when I see problems. I usually don't attempt to fix the problems on articles outside my range of knowledge. Depending on the type of tag, other people may come and fix the problems. For example, a linkrot tag is usually fixed within 24 hours. Incidentally when I tagged that article, I easily found what look like reliable sources for the article using Google search and Google book search. Google Scholar might turn up more references. It should be relatively easy to prove notability of Perl Data Language. (There are quite a lot of free software projects which don't meet these guidelines, which get sent to articles for deletion.) The advertisement tag can be dealt with by removing hyperbole or by adding citations for the comparisons and claims made. In any case, please think of these tags as a way to improve the article, not as a kind of punishment. JoshuSasori (talk) 23:09, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Coursera

I'm finishing up an essay, but are you interested in working on Coursera with me this weekend so we can get rid of the tags? These sources should provide some important information. Ryan Vesey 23:27, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

I am really sorry but I am pressed for time. It's OK to remove the tags once you are satisfied the concerns are addressed. JoshuSasori (talk) 00:03, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your note

Hello JS. Thanks for your note. I trust you have seen my last edit summary where I tried to deescalate the situation and am stepping away. I am glad that you have the page on your watchlist. I hope that you get to see the film again sometime soon. It is one of the best adventure films made in any language. Cheers and have a good weekend. MarnetteD | Talk 03:40, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

WP:AN3#User:Rdmcelligott reported by User:JoshuSasori (Result: )

It looks like the editor Rdmcelligott apologized at Talk:The Hidden Fortress#Let's discuss the plot. Based on this, do you agree that the 3RR report can now be closed with no admin action? If you have an opinion, please respond at the noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:06, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes, OK, it looks like the user is discussing on the talk page rather than editing (although the version is the user's version now). JoshuSasori (talk) 00:55, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Kenji Mizoguchi article edits

Hi, i have added different sources for the claims, please let me know if they are sufficient, thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ophuls20393 (talk • contribs) 07:29, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

The PhD thesis looks good but the ferdyonfilms reference looks like an unreliable source to me. JoshuSasori (talk) 08:48, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Belated response ...

... to your proposal and action here. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 02:29, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

UKA Press

Hello Joshua, I just wanted to thank you for your words of encouragement on the UKA Press 'deletion' page. There are plenty of third party references out there (notably by the BFI, amongst others), but I'm afraid it will now take too long to present them, and it looks as if we are set for deletion. We publish the works of the UK's (possibly the worlds) leading film historian, television documentary-maker, author, and Academy Award recipient, so it seems pretty odd that we are not considered 'notable' enough to warrant a Misplaced Pages article, but that's life I suppose. Thanks anyway, your words were appreciated.AndreaUKA (talk) 13:14, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be. That's the problem. JoshuSasori (talk) 00:58, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Hand-coding

Hey all :).

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).

You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).

If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office . Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:35, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
