Notes

Picture of the day

The roadside hawk (Rupornis magnirostris) is a relatively small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is found from Mexico through Central America and in most of South America east of the Andes. With the possible exception of dense rainforests, the roadside hawk is well adapted to most ecosystems in its range. It is also an urban bird, and is possibly the most common species of hawk seen in various cities throughout its range. This roadside hawk of the subspecies R. m. griseocauda was photographed feeding on a speckled racer in Orange Walk District, Belize.Photograph credit: Charles J.

IP ranges

I don't really care. If you don't find proxies, unblock them. I just blocked them because they were not ISPs but web hosting services.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:14, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

School Role accounts

You don't have to worry about me blocking them; I'm not an admin. However, they are a technical violation of the username policy in that they are shared accounts. It would probably be a good idea to put an explanation on the userpages explaining what school they are with and how the responsible person can be contacted. That may help alleviate some concerns but someone might still block them at some point. Gigs (talk) 01:57, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Rangeblocks

Do whatever. I do not have any opinion about nor can I do anything concerning the rangeblocks at the moment.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:58, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Please be careful

With regard to the anti-aging movement article, please be very careful to stick as closely as possible to the sources. These people seem to be quite willing to sue individual Misplaced Pages editors if they dislike the statements that are made in the sources cited. As a word of advice, a "movement" or a "profession" cannot sue, so if you were to say "energy healers are a bunch of dangerous quacks", an individual healer cannot sue for defamation, but if you were to say "energy healing organization X is a bunch of dangerous quacks", then that organization has standing. I'm not saying I have seen anything incorrect, and all your content seems quite acceptable to me, but this is a dangerous area to deal with. Tim Vickers (talk) 18:29, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

False Sockpuppet Accusation

Hi, sorry to break the perma ban I had to request myself in order to be left in peace by certain persons and bother you again, but some poor soul has been wrongly accused of being a sockpuppet of me, by a couple of "the usual suspects". This is not fair, it's just a slur on the user concerned, and on myself, there wasn't even a proper sock check run...

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Zeraeph/Archive

User:Alamanth had nothing, whatsoever to do with me, and this is the first I have heard of him/her, today, check the actual pathways and I feel sure you will find that out. I have no sockpuppets. I also REALLY think it is time someone put a stop to User:Penbat's more abstract capacity for equal misinformation, he is filling up psyhology articles with left of field nonsense, most of which is, at best, a considerable distortion of any source he cites, and, at worse simply made up off the top of his head. signed - The REAL Zeraeph --109.79.193.159 (talk) 09:58, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

PS Merry Christmas

It is impossible to do checkuser on someone who has not edited since January. The block is based on similarity in editing patterns, not on technical evidence. I did not follow the Arbitration Committee's decision regarding you, but long ago we determined that if someone's pattern of editing is very similar to another editor's and has the same effect on Misplaced Pages that we would consider them to be the same editor and apply the same remedies to them; although, obviously, they may be two different people. Which as you say, may be the case in this instance. The bottom line is that the other editor was having the same effect on Misplaced Pages that you had, at least according to the Arbitration Committee. Fred Talk 13:44, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Season's greetings

Thank you for being one of the people who has made 2009 such an interesting and enlightening year for me. It has certainly had its challenges, but also many highlights. I wish you peace and contentment in 2010, and a joyous holiday season to you and yours.

In honour of the season, I hope you will enjoy a little musical token. Your choice: traditional or cheeky.

Unblock of User:Zhoroscop

Did some communication happen over e-mail, or on another wiki, to warrant this user's unblock? So far, he has used his account pretty much entirely for self-promotional editing and multi-project spam, so I'm not sure what benefit there could be in unblocking him unless he's given you a clear statement of what he intends to do here. (If he has done so that's fine; I just wanted to ask.) rʨanaɢ /_contribs 01:18, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good, thanks! rʨanaɢ /_contribs 01:54, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I have the same question, and I saw your response to Rjanag. Would you consider that Zhoroscop is now on his last chance, regarding self-promotion or original research? EdJohnston (talk) 18:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

He claims he didn't understand. He has been counseled regarding his errors. If he continues aggressively with the same behavior that got him blocked then obviously the counseling has failed. Fred Talk 19:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Broken eggs and missing refs

Hi Fred. Re this: does the common knowledge of Denver residents somehow obviate a citation? Cheers, Rivertorch (talk) 23:03, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

LOL. Fancy seein' you here (Bismark drama)! Anyway, I reverted the edit. Denver knowledge =/= common knowledge. It needs a source. --13 03:55, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it's a small world. I found the edit bizarre. Given the long and illustrious history of its maker, I figured either I was missing something or his account was compromised. Fred, you are Fred, aren't you? Rivertorch (talk) 18:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

It's a perfectly reasonable edit, but I'm not interested in a big discussion about it. Do they generally serve white rice and refried beans on a Mexican platter? We don't need published sources for commonplace facts. Fred Talk 19:13, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't want a big discussion either, but there's a principle at stake: what one person thinks of as "commonplace facts" may be totally esoteric to someone else. Your edit summary read "Common knowledge in Denver". Now, that's probably true, but it is not necessarily common knowledge elsewhere in the English-speaking world, and it's the whole English-speaking world, not residents of Denver, that is WP's audience. I was certainly unaware of it, anyway, and until it's sourced I can't be sure about it. I'll look for a source. Rivertorch (talk) 21:51, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

GA reassessment of United States Air Force Academy

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. You are being notified as you have made a number of contributions to the article. Unfortunately the poor state of referencing of the article meant that I immediately de-listed it as it fails to meet the GA criteria at present. When these concerns, which you can see at Talk:United States Air Force Academy/GA1, have been addressed you may renominate the article at WP:GAN. If you disagree with this re-assessemnt please take it ito WP:GAR for community re-assessment. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 08:02, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Add MUME to MUD Wiki?

Hi Fred,

I noticed your name in the MUD Wiki. The MUME article did not survive the deletion process (see http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Software&oldid=347733127#MUME ). This seems to to fit within the scope of MUD Wiki but is not on the "Imported from Misplaced Pages" list. I'd really like to see MUME added to the MUD Wiki, if someone has time to do so!

Slang meaning of maroon

I saw a recent comment you made on the definition of the word maroon, and I believe it was being used in the Bugs Bunny sense, not the sense you referred to. Neither the Misplaced Pages page or the Wiktionary page (wikt:maroon) mention this Bugs Bunny sense, but it is extensively described at the Urban Dictionary page (maroon). While that source is not always the most reliable, it is largely correct here about maroon being used to mean 'idiot'. Not an ideal use of the word in Misplaced Pages discourse, but as I said, not what you thought it was being used to mean. Carcharoth (talk) 12:48, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
