Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 01:27, 31 January 2015

—

Misplaced Pages does not care about you or me being qualified scholars. Misplaced Pages is not a scholarly site, but a summary of sources that speak for themselves. We all have the right to edit, but there are rules to make sure that proper sources are used for appropriate articles and editors are civil. -- In other words: duh only book-lurnin we likes 's frum books, not school-folk wit deir fancy-shmancy deeplomas. Ye ain't gots to be unschooled to edit, but ya bettah bring yer damn sauces like uh chef at tha Italian resteeraunt.

New stuff goes at the bottom, people. Also, please sign your posts in talk pages with four tildes (~~~~)

Thanks for your input

Hello Ian.thomson. Could you please offer your thoughts concerning this matter? Thanks – TheProfessor (talk) 13:42, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Christ myth theory

I'm thinking the above article and related talk page could probably use a few more eyes. Call it a guess. John Carter (talk) 00:52, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, User:John Carter, got lost on my way back from wassailing. Ian.thomson (talk) 07:56, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Publishing Ghosts Of Venice Article

Hi Ian. Please can you see my article changes and consider publishing as I am unaware of how to do so. Thank you for your help Killtherhythm (talk) 07:06, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Tower of Babel

OK, I think I've waited for long enough for something to change on this page but it hasn't.

  I now understand what you meant about a story not necessarily being untrue. But that was

clear to me at first, and I wish not for other readers to misconstrue the meaning of the article like I did.

  I therefore see no problem in putting a notice at the top of the page, pointing out

that a particular view is not put forward by the article and that whilst referring to it as a story, it still may or may not be true. If you really are Christian, you should support this. It will make sure that no one else takes it the wrong way.

Thank you.

As a Christian I put my faith in Christ as my savior, and am not required to place codlingly overaccomodating disclaimers for those who prefer to get upset first and try to learn later (if at all). Ian.thomson (talk) 07:39, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Edit war

Please do not edit war, like what you did here:https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Pyramid&curid=23704&diff=642936164&oldid=642935813, thanks173.63.78.62 (talk) 18:10, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Please do not defend clear errors by accusing someone who reverted twice of edit warring, thanks. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:13, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Are you sure that it was a clear error? The summery didn't seem clear enough.--173.63.78.62 (talk) 19:34, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Pardon the interruption, but this administrator thinks the first edit summary was very clear that the rollback was to fix a clear error. —C.Fred (talk) 19:36, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Also, the article in question and related articles are pretty clear that 10,500 BCE is further off than saying the pyramids are going to be built next week. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:39, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Enforcement request

here Cla68 (talk) 08:33, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Ian...my take is that being light hearted or having a sense of humor is prohibited on Misplaced Pages! This is surious bizniss and we can't joke around!!!--MONGO 14:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

(Religion)

Please do not edit/Delete my posts if you do not know the knowledge that I'm clearly putting on wikipedia. You seem to not have gotten the message that you do not know as much about religion then what you think you know. Please read the hebrew bible before you begin to delete my posts.

Misplaced Pages is concerned with objective knowledge, not subjective belief. Misplaced Pages is not a pulpit for you to preach from. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:33, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

What I added "Is and will be (OBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE) Wiki is about facts. Which I am providing. Next time you edit one of my things I will contact wiki myself through a phone call to prove my knowledge and so I'll be able to edit the pages that I have already "Edited" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Highest Relgion.

(talk page stalker) @Highest Relgion.: That's pretty funny. So, exactly which phone number are you going to call? Who do you think you'll be talking to? What do you suppose they would say? Argument from authority is not sound reasoning. Tell you what, post on Jimmy Wales's talk page. That would be the fastest way to resolve your problem.

I notice he keeps saying he's going to add something, and never does it. Perhaps on some level he realizes he's handling this the wrong way, but doesn't want to admit it? Ian.thomson (talk) 22:57, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Bruxing

I think you got a little carried away with that removal. I know something about bruxing, and what I said is factual. The only actual "medical advice" I gave was to talk to his dentist about it. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 21:29, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

You still attempted to diagnose his condition. Whether or not it is bruxing, you're not a medical professional (and if you were, we have no way of verifying that). The top of the page says "We don't answer (and may remove) questions that require medical diagnosis or legal advice." Ian.thomson (talk) 21:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

You're wrong. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 00:44, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

So you didn't try to explain what his symptoms were? Because your edit clearly shows you trying to do so.

He was unaware what his medical condition was, and described symptoms. You attempted to narrow his broad symptoms down to a particular ailment; not necessarily the root cause of the ailment, but nonetheless you tried to provide a diagnosis. To have simply left him a message saying "go discuss this with a medical professional" would have been one thing, but you restored a question that ultimately called for medical advice that we simply cannot give.

If you truly believe that I should not have removed the post, report me to ANI. If you are not that confident, please drop it. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:56, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

The user Wnt has a more liberal view of these things than either you or I do. I've asked him to weigh in on this, if he cares to. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 01:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

You've provided no counter-explanation as to how you weren't not diagnosing, and do not appear to be acknowledging anything I've said. If you are only here to tell me I'm wrong without actually explaining yourself, I see no reason to discuss this with you. Do you not have anything actually productive to do? Ian.thomson (talk) 01:24, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

He described teeth-grinding, and that's exactly what Bruxism is, which you would know if you were to read the article. That's why I told him to go see a doctor and/or dentist, and advising someone to see a doctor IS NOT medical advice. Or, we can just treat the newbie like a jerk, as you did. Whatever. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 01:27, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
