How good is comedian Tina Fey's impersonation of Republican Sarah Palin?
Good enough to fool the former Alaska governor's network of choice, according to media watchdog Mediaite.com.
Sunday, Fox aired a clip about Palin's potential entry into the 2012 presidential race but used a picture of Fey from a Saturday Night Live skit.
Fox News released the following statement: "This past Sunday during 'America's News Headquarters,' a graphics error was made during a segment on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The producer has since been disciplined and an explanation and apology will be made in the same hour next Sunday. Fox News regrets the error."
TheWeek.com lists the goof as its best video of the week.
Heads may roll if something similar happens again, Mediaite reports.
A Fox News memo states: "Effective immediately, there is zero tolerance for on-screen errors. Mistakes by any member of the show team that end up on air may result in immediate disciplinary action against those who played significant roles in the "mistake chain," and those who supervise them. That may include warning letters to personnel files, suspensions, and other possible actions up to and including termination, and this will all obviously play a role in performance reviews."
Humans make mistakes, fortunately mine aren't televised.

No error was made, unless Tina Fey considers it to be offensive. Sarah Palin is a joke, so what is better than to have a comediene portrary her!. FOX you have finally done something right, then you want to make excuses! Now that is funny!

Tina is probably more qualified than Sara anyways.

I'd vote for Tina Fey!

"Zero tolerance for on-screen errors"?
Good luck with that. They happen all the time, and not just in Roger Eugene Ailes' operation.
Either FOX News will be firing a bunch of people or this is a bit of a smokescreen.

How can Faux News Fire people when they've been broadcasting incorrect, fabricated and misleading footage since the network's inception?

I find these comments hilarious! If Fox News was so offensive to people they could just tune in to something else. No need for animosity. That the left controls virtually every media source other than Fox and the rest of us would like something to watch, I find it so ironic that they are so threatened by what Fox chooses to run.
Using Tina Fey, who basically owes her fortune to mocking Sarah Palin on air – is funny, no matter what side you are on. I like Palin and am capable of my own thoughts so I don't watch the Comedy Channel as my news source. She has a role to play and has accomplished things, like her or not. But she shouldn't run for President. Then again, neither should Obama. She has accomplished more than he has to be perfectly fair.

Punishment for the next graphics error will be:
Summarily verbally reprimanded!
Summarily ejected from the building, escorted by your superior and peers!
Summarily led to a Pub!
Summarily forced to drink until intoxicated!
Summarily laughed about by your superior and peers!
Summarily returned to work, properly disciplined.

LOL. Faux news is a parody of itself. If you can't see that; I pity you.
And Tina Fey owes NOTHING to Sarah Palin. Tina Fey is an accomplished writer and actor. She has written hit movies and was even the head writer for SNL (which is considered one of the most respected writing jobs in the industry).

Deleting discussions
Regarding [1], while I understand why you are removing discussions, the existing site policies are strongly aligned towards preventing any appearance of censorship - see Wikitravel:Using talk pages (talk page conversations are not deleted) - and most users of this site will have very strong opinions on the matter and see attempts to make exceptions to site policy as an abuse of power. Many of us felt it was inappropriate to use Wikitravel as a platform for discussions of forking when the Wikivoyage fork happened, and many will also feel it's inappropriate to use Wikitravel as a platform for a discussion of a fork now, but in both cases I think attempts to censor those discussions are greater wrongs and would ask that you restore the discussions you have deleted, perhaps adding a note that you feel that this is not the proper venue for such discussion to occur. -- Ryan • (talk) • 17:38, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- Thank you, Ryan, that is a very reasonable proposition. However, as I have noted at Peter's Talk page, the discussion itself, in this particular case, serves the same destructive purpose to the community, as would touting a fork. You cannot discuss touting a fork without bringing attention to it, which is the point in the first place. Those who are attempting to discuss this are actively seeking to subvert the very site that allows them the platform upon which to discuss it. Perhaps there is no written policy that says "don't try to use Wikitravel to destroy Wikitravel," but that is only because it is self-evident.
- In the case of Wikivoyage, absolutely that should not have been discussed here either. Two wrongs do not make a right, and there is no reason a prior grievous error should be used to justify another. I am acting in the best interest of this project, and I stand behind this action. If anyone has a resoned argument to refute that, fine. But we are not going to shoot ourselves in the face simply because explicit policy does not exist to tell us that would be a bad idea.--IBobi 17:49, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- If you want to remove the links to the WM travel site discussion, I could agree to that. But outright censorship of others comments (like mine regarding how this should be discussed elsewhere not here!), is not just a real violation of our project's policies, it is counterproductive. I know well enough from experience that IB is best at alienating the communities whose sites they buy, rather than encouraging their growth. But really, continued edit warring, censorship, and other abuse is not the best way to present your argument that editors should stay here, if another fork emerges. Which is really what you should be doing, and doing fast.
- As of right now, IB is moving from just being in violation of our advertising policy and consensus policies. You are in Wikitravel:How to handle unwanted edits territory. --Peter Talk 17:59, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- I believe it is within my rights as a member of this community to edit or revert edits as I see fit, is it not? Can you see that the absence of a policy forbidding fork discussion is detrimental to this site? So be it: let's write a policy. Here's my draft:
- Discussions of forking the content of this Project are inappropriate and detrimental to Wikitravel. Anyone wishing to participate in such discussions is of course welcome to do so offline; but Wikitravel is under no obligation to provide a forum for self-destructive behavior.
- Something like that? Meantime, since the discussion at hand deals directly with the policy above, I move that it be tabled until such time as the passage or defeat of such policy is decided.--IBobi 18:10, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- (edit conflicted) IBobi - I won't pursue this issue further, but please understand that deleting a good faith discussion, rather than responding and providing counter-arguments, is something that will be extremely poorly received within any wiki community. Again, using the example of Wikivoyage, using Wikitravel as a platform for discussing that fork was in poor taste, but attempts to censor those discussions would have been far worse than simply politely asking the individuals involved to raise their concerns in a more appropriate venue. -- Ryan • (talk) • 18:13, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- "I believe it is within my rights as a member of this community to edit or revert edits as I see fit, is it not?". It is not. Reverting edits is not done as people see fit, it is done to preserve the integrity of our policies and rules. You are violating those rules, and Wikitravel:Edit war, which I suppose you did not read, directly responds to your current behavior. You are also reinforcing long-standing beliefs that Internet Brands will continue to disrespect the social norms and rules of the communities off which it makes its money.
- Also, I think I told you privately at one point that I'm not likely to give you too much help, largely because I have found your comments on Shared arrogant, ignorant, and off-putting. In that same discussion I suggested you should heed Ryan's advice, as it is and will be spot-on, and more polite than my own. You have drawn way more attention to this fork through repeated defiance of policy. --Peter Talk 18:22, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- You assume incorrectly, Peter. I've read all policies concerning this site and simply disagree with you on this. As I've stated, had those comments been in good faith, I'd have left them be. They were not. I'd like it if you could, for the moment, leave off the repetition of stating yet again how much you dislike this site's host and myself, and focus constructively on the policy points I've made.
- I propose as a mid-term solution: that while we discuss an "anti-fork discussion" policy, we reinstate the existing discussion, minus links to or mentions of an alternate site for such a fork (in this case MWF)? Will that serve the purpose you're after, Ryan & Peter?--IBobi 18:40, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- Updating site policies to prevent discussion of forks would probably be most appropriate if proposed at either Wikitravel talk:How to handle unwanted edits or Wikitravel talk:Using talk pages. As to whether restoring a discussion would "serve the purpose you're after", my purpose was simply to be consistent with the principles this site was founded on - open discussion and collaborative effort based on an agreed upon set of guidelines - and I felt it was important to point out that deletion of a good faith discussion, even one that may not be appropriate, was a very serious breach of wiki protocol. -- Ryan • (talk) • 18:53, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- I might be amenable to a proposed policy to avoid discussion of forks in Wikitravel's public spaces. I would not, and I assume others would not, be amenable to your deleting other people's comments until said policy was agreed upon. Per Wikitravel:Consensus, which, if you have not read, you clearly have either not understood or simply disregarded in your actions and behavior, mandates that you would need others to agree with you before you take such inappropriate and impermissible action. --Peter Talk 19:01, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- Also, I've tried to make it clear that I think one could argue that the Wikitravel:External links policy would not allow links in the pub to a different travel wiki. You have been deleting my comments, though, so that may have been lost. So yes, I think it would be acceptable to restore all comments as made, minus the links. Scrubbing mentions of the Wikimedia Foundation would not be appropriate, because we do not edit others' words on this site, to avoid people trying to obscure and change other peoples' intended meanings. --Peter Talk 19:06, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
From your points of view, what would constitute a comment NOT made "in good faith" in this case? What purpose, other than an attempt to subvert Wikitravel by fracturing its community -- decidedly not "in good faith" -- does a fork discussion serve? This is way beyond "not in good taste," which basically is meaningless if it is not grounded in policy. There may be members of this community who also have interests outside of this community; but when those interest clearly and directly conflict with the good of this community, there needs to be a WT way of dealing with that, other than simply looking the other way and calling them "distasteful."--IBobi 19:16, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- I think that discussion is outside the scope of a user talk page discussion and should probably be posted in a place where others can contribute. I'd suggest reposting in Wikitravel talk:How to handle unwanted edits. -- Ryan • (talk) • 19:25, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- [edit conflict] I'm happy to explain this via open discussion, but I'm not sure that's what you seem to want...
- My comments, which you removed, were to the point of avoiding using Wikitravel's public spaces as a platform to advertise other websites, especially those that could be viewed (wrongly) as competition. I suggested more appropriate venues. I can't fathom how you would think that is somehow in bad faith. Unlike your transparently interested removal of others' comments.
- I can understand your reaction to Jani's post, and I can even understand how, from the perspective of an interested party employed by Internet Brands, it might seem to be not in good faith. But Jani was trying to alert the Wikitravel community—a community which he helped build—that every last admin active on this site has stated that they are going to fork, if the project does get started. While you have dismissed my comments as chicken little saying the "sky is falling," this is a fact. That is something rather of interest to this community, no? If members of this community, which includes even those who are here because they are paid to be here, want to join a discussion to express their disapproval of the proposed Wikimedia project, they should have a chance to do so.
- In my view, which I have stated many times, is that IB has grossly mismanaged the Wikitravel website and its community. This is what has been destructive to our community, nothing else. Forking seems to me the best possible thing that could happen to our community, and for crowd-sourced travel writing in general. I have already stated so on Shared and in private communication with you. I even think it might be good for the quality of the IB-owned Wikitravel! Maybe it will force IB to wake up and take stewardship of this site and its community seriously. Make a case for why people should stay in words and deeds. Actually fix the bugs, improve site performance, take feature development seriously, govern more openly, respect the wishes and polices of the community. This would be great. I have no way to know whether the WMF proposal has been the spur behind increased tech support from IB, or the lack of progress on the booking tool that none of us want. But I do believe and say, in good faith, that the proposed fork will be good for the Wikitravel community, and that it has already brought semi-retired editors and admins who had lost interest, as the site stagnated, back to writing, editing, patrolling, and so on. --Peter Talk 19:36, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- It was not your comments I was per se disagreeing with, Peter; it was Jani's post. It does not. Belong. On Wikitravel. Your post in reply to his became moot, once his was removed (just as your reply to me is now moot, since the original post has been restored -- you should consider removing it). If we need a policy to remove fork discussions, and prevent more of the same from occurring in the future, we'll do that. For now, as both you and Ryan have objected, I have removed the links pending our policy draft.
- The "Wikitravel community" is not the same as "the Wikitravel admins," which you mistake as being equal. In fact, the community at large positively dwarfs the small number of hard-working admins that patrol and curate the site out of the goodness of their hearts and desire to see the project flourish. There are *seven million* human beings every month who use this site. The majority of them have never been here before. THAT is the community; that is the basis of "the traveler comes first." Perhaps admins say they support a fork; maybe that fork will happen; maybe it'll even be supported by the WMF, despite what a terrible precedent that sets; does that mean it should be discussed here? To what end? This is not a forum for discussing how to dismantle this project, nor will it become one. If you wish to discuss a fork and its proposed benefits to the 40 admins who support it, in defiance of the 7 million monthly travelers who come here for the best content, by all means, talk about it. Not here. "We talked about Wikivoyage before" is not a rationale for repeating the same mistake again.
- As for "fix the bugs, improve site performance, take feature development seriously, govern more openly, respect the wishes and polices of the community," if you want to go back a year, two years, five years, sure. But you and I both know that over the past year plus, everything has changed for the better. And to state that the idea of the WMF supporting a fork has spurred anything is ludicrous; the timing refutes that notion, since the start of the upgrade alone predates the involvement of WMF by at least 3 months. With all due respect, it's disingenuous to keep repeating things that occurred in the past as though they were still happening. You can see on a daily basis how much work is going into this project, very much including this long discussion between us on the fork issue today.--IBobi 20:35, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- An additional note - the principle of discouraging, but not censoring, potentially disruptive discussions is a longstanding one. For example, search for "fork" on Wikitravel talk:Internet Brands, and see the various FAQs linked from User:Hansm as well as his contributions elsewhere on the site, all of which go way beyond a brief blurb in the Pub. Those still editing on Wikitravel today disagreed with Hans, and most of us thought it was highly inappropriate of him to use Wikitravel to advocate for a fork, but so long as his discussions consisted of questioning site policy or summarizing his reasoning, he was given the right to express an opinion. -- Ryan • (talk) • 19:56, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- Without the 40 admins, you won't have the best content to attract millions of visitors each month, and without attracting a completely new community of admins -- completely impossible at your current level of support -- you won't even be able to keep the content you have clean and organized. I find it completely ridiculous to claim that we 40 or so admin are "in defiance of a 7-million-strong community". That is ludicrous. We are the ones who care most about this place, and if you can't keep us happy, how are you going to keep happy all those supposedly-millions-of casual users who don't even care as much as we do? (Granted, you'll be able to keep the spiders and spambots very happy.) Realistically, those 7 million hits will follow the content and the 40 admins who keep it clean right off into the sunset. Instead of repeating your claim that Wikitravel has a vibrant community without us, you need to wake up and realize that IB needs a massive fundamental change in the way they deal with this site-- needed it years earlier in fact, and much more thorough a change than simply updating MediaWiki for once.texugo 21:10, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- Bottom line, I think, is that you still don't trust the only few dozen people who actually do follow every in and out of this site, and you still don't believe us when we tell you that IB's level of support is far, far lower than what is actually needed to keep a healthy, productive, and open wiki running.texugo 21:14, 2 July 2012 (EDT)

Who ever claimed that Wikitravel has a vibrant community without its admins? I claimed the exact opposite: that everyone iss needed here to keep WT awesome. That's the whole, entire point of my objection to this fork discussion, do you not get it? I'm not sure you've been paying attention to the site over the last year, but if you have requests for what you want done, you ought to voice them; they've been getting addressed at breakneck pace for everyone who speaks up :) --IBobi 21:24, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- The fact that you do not know whether I have been here all year making requests speaks volumes.texugo 21:30, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- I'm sorry, Tex, I don't see them: http://wikitravel.org/shared/Roadmap Where have you made these requests that have gone unanswered?--IBobi 21:36, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- The Roadmap has traditionally been used for feature requests that involve, as the page says, "expansion, development, and improvement" of the site, so I haven't included anything there. Try looking at shared:Category:Open bug reports and you'll find requests like shared:Tech:Breadcrumbs don't work on pt:, shared:Tech:Listing templates don't work on es:, shared:Tech:Mobile site fixes, and others.texugo 21:50, 2 July 2012 (EDT)
- Texugo, your input, like that of all the other admins, has been invaluable in testing the new 1.17 upgrade. But to point to two bugs you reported a week ago -- both of which have been responded to and are either fixed or in-progress -- and say you've been ignored all year making tech requests? That's just unfair. All I'm asking is that we be given credit for the work we've been doing as the hosts of this site, instead of dwelling on years ago when tech requests were not being addressed in a timely manner. Otherwise, why are we talking? Thanks for your remarks.--IBobi 13:22, 3 July 2012 (EDT)
- To my knowledge, none of the 3 bugs I just mentioned have been fixed or even acknowledged with a response from IB (Later edit:To be fair, I have just discovered that instructions to resolve one of these issues was indeed given, not on the tech request page I made for it, but on another talk page where someone else brought up a related problem on another language version), but that is beside the point, which is that even the somewhat increased involvement of IB of late has been of nowhere near sufficient volume or promptness, and I have no reason to believe that they won't return to total neglect once they fix the upgrade bugs enough to meet their monetization goal of getting their dreaded booking bar running. I am not disparaging the job you have done, which has certainly been better than your predecessors, but you are still just a liaison between us and the techs and have the unenviable role of breaking bad tidings to the community when IB ham-fistedly goes against the community's wishes. If IB got a couple of people in here who actually enjoyed doing what we do, who contributed, edited, patrolled, joined in policy discussions, participated in community decision-making in a true Wiki spirit, and really dug into the nitty-gritty of it all along with the rest of us, maybe IB might have a better understanding of the way this community works, and the community would undoubtedly have more respect for IB appearing to actually care about anything besides dollar signs.texugo 13:56, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

You are a spammer
Hi! Your account is effected by the spambot issue [3]. I assume good faith that you are not teaming up with the bots. When do you think you solve this issue? Jc8136 09:34, 24 July 2012 (EDT)

Rogue admin?
Paul, I see that you blocked several other users for leaving talk page messages that you didn't like. That is a clear violation of Wikitravel:How to handle unwanted edits, and an abuse of your sysop rights. I have de-sysopped you for the time being, and given you a 2 hour cooling off period, after which you can make your case regarding restoring your sysop rights. --Peter Talk 21:21, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
- I very much agree with Peter's action here, and I imagine I am not alone in that. Pashley 21:46, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
- Peter has announced on his page that he has resigned from Wikitravel. Why he is still making changes is a bit of a mystery. The small handful of users who were blocked, were blocked temporarily because they were misusing other users' Talk pages for non-Wikitravel purposes. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you,--IBobi talk email 22:07, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
- =The Wikitravel community never gave you the right to police Wikitravel as an admin. It is one you assumed for yourself by right as representative of IB. That goes directly against IB's promise not to interfere with the content and community of Wikitravel. If IB is altering the deal, you might as well come out and say so. LtPowers 22:12, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
Why did you revoke the bureaucrat user right from almost every bureaucrat? (Including Evan, the founder of Wikitravel) –sumone10154 23:34, 20 August 2012 (EDT)
Paul, (iBobi), your approach in blocking my editing here is inappropriate, and quite offensive. The inappropriateness of your behaviour is compounded by your not even bothering to leave a note of explanation on my talk page.
Normally, in the case of genuine spam or similar inappropriate behaviour the miscreant is a least cautioned and the matter of concern is outlined, along with an appropriate link or links provided to a suitable WT article outlining the transgression and defining the standard applicable WT guideline or policy seen to be in breach.
You have either just not bothered to do so which casts a rather grim shadow over your perceived role here as a WT Administrator, or possibly you are uncertain of exactly how my recent edits are in breach. If that is the case your actions are hightly inappropriate and you should perhaps consider surrendering your Administrator privileges on the project forthwith.
You have been cautioned by another project Administrator, I note that is a courtesy I was not provided with when you applied the Ban to my further editing.
If I attempt to make an edit on the site, even on my own Talk page I am presented with the following message:
- You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
- Your IP address has been automatically blocked because it was used by another user, who was blocked by IBobi. The reason given is this:
- Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Felix505".
- The reason given for Felix505's block is: "Spam solicitations on WT members' talk pages"
- Start of block: 01:02, 21 August 2012
- Expiry of block: 01:02, 22 August 2012
"Spam solicitations on WT members' talk pages" is defined exactly where on the WT site?
I do not see it defined here Last_resorts. To save any need to navigate away to look at the details I will just copy-paste here:
- It may occur that a contributor lets us know that they're not interested in our goals, and/or not interested in compromising or working with other Wikitravellers to achieve those goals. If they insist on continuing to edit articles against our terms of use we may resort to using a :MediaWiki feature that bans that person's username or IP address from editing Wikitravel.
- User bans are an extreme last resort for us. They are embarassing, because they are an admission that our community is not strong, patient, and professional enough to deal with unwanted edits using the simple freedom built into the Wiki way. In addition, they are terribly ineffective -- a user can change IP address by moving to another computer, or of course just change to use another user account. Lastly, they make an enemy out of a potential friend. Our project is enough of a challenge; we don't need enemies.
- Exceptions to the user ban nomination process include:
- Blocks of one day or less when used as a discretionary tool for administrators. These blocks are sometimes used in slowing exceptionally high-volume unwanted edits (e.g., move vandalism) or to halt the vandalism (however temporarily) to create space to clean it up. In general such blocks should be applied for very short periods (two hours or less) and only increased in length if the vandal persists.
So read the detail there Paul, in regard to a Ban being "embarrassing", and "terribly ineffective", well that I am posting here is probably a testimony to that, and best of all, "make an enemy out of a potential friend". I can also not identify even a hint of guideline or policy that any support what-so-ever to your actions. 24 posts on User pages is not a "high-volume unwanted edits", has any of these Users complained about my messages. Somehow I don't think so, indeed at least a couple of them have cordially thanked me. I have never looked at my own stats but I do know that 24 contributions is an extraordinary low level of activity for me.
As you have not cared to actually address my Talk page and outline the problem then I am only left with the auto generated message when I try to edit (without circumvention). All that is useful there in way of explanation is this "Spam solicitations on WT members' talk pages".
During that series of edits I presented facts, they were not embellished by any particular negativity or slights toward either the project or IB, they were just facts. If it had not already been made clear by IB that it was considered to be inappropriate to discuss alternative solutions for the continuation or adaptation of the project on the IB hosted servers then it might not be so necessary to suggest to users that the project was discussed at an alternative venue. Remember now, it is your own actions that have been blocking that open discussion occuring on this site.
There is no presumption on in the WT policies and guidelines suggesting that posting anything on a Users Talk page needs to be solicited by that user. Indeed posting on another Users Talk page is pretty standard WT daily conduct. There was nothing 'offensive' in the content. Indeed it addressed the opportunity to be informed concerning the current problems, or for the User concerned to have an opportunity to express their own opinion in the matter. In preventing project contributors from doing that you may actually be alienating and gagging those contributors that may be reluctant to move the project elsewhere. I never suggested in my messages that people should take off somewhere else or abandon the project, or IB, merely that if they wanted to find out about it, or discuss it then they could follow the link provided. Where more detail was provided it was done in response to a prompt from that User. It was then provided in a matter of fact style and the contributors ongoing project involvement and article editing was encouraged.
Where more casual or lapsed contributors were addressed they were not being solicited or 'coached', just provided with appropriate information. If they were a yet ungreeted contributor they were properly addressed with a formal standard WT new user Welcome greeting, customised with their name and if possible an encouraging reference or guideline regarding their recent edits. A brief note was appended advising there was a Project community issue outstanding and providing them with a link where they could learn more about it.
One of my principal reasons for doing that was to assist in their understanding of why their work may be compromised by vandalism or unwanted and unfiltered content encroaching into an article. Some of the Users concerned are also current WT Administrators. Suggesting an engagement in discussion on policy or project development with a Project Administrator should not be view as "Spam", rather it is entirely legitimate project behaviour. In taking the action you did you have indicated a serious misunderstanding of the project aims and exhibited behaviour entirely inappropriate to the WT community.
You have just taken it upon yourself to 'censor' me. This is not a role prescribed in the project policies and guidelines. If it is there and I have not found it then I invite you to draw my attention to it.
Surely it is obvious that in the absence of normal filtering, patrolling, guidance to editors and corrective editing the project will stumble, and it is doing so in a dramatic way at this time. Indeed it is filling up with garbage at an escalating rate.
Other contributors, like myself are seeing a considerable body of committed and focussed work become severely compromised by incompetent IT technical management and an apparent lack of appropriate investment in the project. IB is destroying the project, not commited contributors who are providing countless hours of unpaid contribution. In applying a Ban to someone like myself your are just further ensuring the project will fail.
You should be ashamed of yourself spending time blocking my own access (and obviously doing a pretty poor job of it) whilst leaving vandals, (genuine) spammers, advertisers and other assorted miscreants to run wild all over the site. Additionally you seem to have done a lousy job of even doing that. Previously I was ensuring I used a neutral tone and approach concerning this matter. Having been treated in such a rude and dismissive manner I find that considerably more challenging than it was previously. Why on earth are you shuffling deck chairs whilst the ship sinks under the waves. Can you really not see what is going on here, do you have nothing better to do, is this perhaps what 'fiddling whilst Rome burns' looks like?
At this point in time it might be best for the project if you resigned from it Paul, at least temporarily, as your behaviour is not appropriate to the community spirit it embodies.
Most certainly you should immediately hand in the Administrator keys as you have shown unequivocally that you are unaware of the policies and guidelines, or are just ignoring them and acting in an entirely inappropriate and draconian manner.
Can you really not find someone more appropriate to apply a Ban to, what about the hundreds of vandals, nutjobs, advertisers, pill pushers and personalised ball point pen salesmen that are descending upon the site like swarming locusts.
I am neither a vandal, nor a spammer and I really do resent the slight against me in your applying that label to my account.
Indeed I have contributed a considerable body of work to this project. Certainly your ridiculous action has clarified to me that the hosting of a project such as this on a server run by an entity with a commercial agenda is not appropriate for either party to that agreement.
You own actions as a representative of IB in applying this Ban upon my activities on this site is entirely unconscionable and reprehensible.
As an outcome of this my own concerns regarding the appropriateness of the travel Wiki project leaving IB are now entirely clarified.
The irony here is prior to this entirely inappropriate behaviour I actually harboured some sympathy for what must be a difficult situation for you, well you have taken care of that now by entirely alienating yourself. Nice work Paul.
You really should be entirely ashamed of yourself, best just climb up onto the wooden horse now, it is time to ride out of town. felix 01:40, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
Following felix, I also demand that you explain yourself. Your recent actions violate basic principles of Wikitravel. They also violate your own comments here, where the importance of a broader survey of Wikitravel was constantly emphasized. I do not see how your words on meta could match your actions here. -- Atsirlin 04:24, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

Explanation of changes
Let me explain the series of events that led to these changes, and open up a discussion with the community for how best to resolve this.
Over this past weekend, Wikitravel's email and User Talk Page systems were misused by a small group of users to spam dozens of Wikitravelers with unsolicited messages. This was done without notifying the host of Wikitravel, Internet Brands, whose accounts were deliberately excluded from this messaging. It had been made clear that the host, along with several Wikitravel administrators, considers using Wikitravel for those discussions detrimental to Wikitravel to be out of bounds. IB has previously taken action to ensure that those discussions take place off site, and has participated in them earnestly and in good faith.
Since, by early yesterday, the email and Talk Page messaging had stopped, no action was taken against those senders.
Late yesterday, one or more of the above mentioned users began to spam Wikitravelers' Talk pages again, with the same cut-and-pasted text. I instituted a temporary block of those user accounts, and they have since been notified to cease and desist such behavior. In response, user Peterfitzgerald, who had on the 8th of August deleted the content of his own Talk page and resigned from Wikitravel, reverted the temporary blocks and then used his remaining Bureaucrat privileges to remove sysop functions from the host account (IBobi). This abuse of the bureaucrat status that he had resigned from caused his sysop privileges to be removed, as were those of several other Bureaucrats who were either inactive or had left word that they were no longer participating at Wikitravel. This is an appropriate security measure for a host to take.
I'd be happy to answer any further questions or engage on any level with members who still believe this was somehow inappropriate. Again, the host – whether it be Internet brands or the previous owner – must always act in the best interests of the site, for the sake of all its members. On rare occasions this means acting without prior community consensus. We remain entirely committed to this project, the community, its policies, and Wikitravel's millions of users. Please don't hesitate to contact me, either via email or this Talk page. Thank you, --IBobi talk email 15:15, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
- As I said above: The Wikitravel community never gave you the right to police Wikitravel as an admin. It is one you assumed for yourself by right as representative of IB. That goes directly against IB's promise not to interfere with the content and community of Wikitravel. If IB is altering the deal, you might as well come out and say so. LtPowers 17:21, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
- Nice threatening to sue editors is really going to build this community. 18.104.22.168 17:40, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
- Not at all, LtPowers. Deal is in place. As to patrolling the site, I certainly hope that reverting spam is not being seen by anyone as detrimental? And protecting the site from malicious use of its tools as well. As a representative of the host of Wikitravel, I have an obligation to act in the site's best interests. While some of Wikitravel's administrators are on a temporary hiatus while they await the outcome of offsite discussions, someone must mind the fort. I'm not the only one, but there is more of a workload than normal at the moment. I'd welcome your help a great deal in that regard, as well as in policy discussions, as I have always found your contributions to be excellent.--IBobi talk email 18:03, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
- You haven't threatened to sue LtPowers yet? I am sure that will come. 220.127.116.11 18:05, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

I have not resigned from Wikitravel, nor am I "inactive" (defined in policy as not logging in over three months). What is your justification for removing my bureaucrat privileges, which were granted to me by unanimous community consensus? jpatokal 19:25, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
- IBobi, you should update the community policies page to state that they do not apply to IB representatives, who may act on the site and ignore or change policies as they wish. It should also state that the consequences of not complying with IB wishes will be legal action against the community volunteers. They're your cpu cycles, and your disk space, so go for it. Just don't come here and act all "community" while unilaterally blocking, removing privileges, without following a single one of the policies defined by the community policies as to how this should happen. Of course all this whilst threatening legal action against community members. --Inas 19:59, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
- Can we all calm down a bit?
- Of course the WT comunity never made IBobi an admin. Nor did we make the founders, Even & Maj, admins; they granted themselves that status before the discussion of who else should get admin status even started. Now IB host the site so naturally their system admins have complete control of it. It is quite natural to make the main representative of the company on the site a wiki admin, a position far less powerful and less dangerous than what their sys admins already have. We really have nothing to complain of there, so long as the admin privileges are used within policy.
- Nor is there much to complain of when he revokes privileges from users that have been inactive for some time or have stated on talk pages that they have left the project. As he says, this is a reasonable security measure for any host to take. There seem to be cases (see jpatokal's comment above) where he has been over-zealous in this; if so, they can presumably be discussed and dealt with.
- On the other hand, I would say that IBobi is wildly out of line in some of this, well outside the policies. He has been blocking other admins for messages he calls "spam". They are not unsolicited messages, but messages to users who have deliberately provided their email addresses for messages relevant to Wikitravel. The messages were indeed relevant to the project and its goals, if disturbing to the current host. Peter was perfectly correct to unblock those users and temporarily remove IBobi's admin privileges in hopes he'd come to his senses with a cooling off period. Pashley 21:42, 21 August 2012 (EDT)
- As you know, the policy on de-admining is at Wikitravel:Administrators#Ending_administrator_privileges. Anybody can make changes or suggestions on changing this policy by consensus, as has been done many times in the past. It is clear in this case the policy has just simply been ignored. It is difficult not to conclude from this that IB do not feel the need to follow community policies at all. And of course the legal threats are just way out of line. --Inas 22:02, 21 August 2012 (EDT)

text: The installation is not complicated but I recommend having a friend to help. It is a major undertaking for an average person. The software is easy enought to use. I didn't feel any difference from the fuel control but the traction control works and the quick shifter is amazing. I will need track time to tune the TC system. I will report back on that. While the quick shifter works brilliantly, it will cause an FI light on Suzuki models when performing high RPM full load upshifts. This is really annoying but it is the price of performance when not designed into the factory software by the OEM. I will report back once I have had time at the track to fine tune the TC and quickshifter with the easy to use software.

What is clean tech?
Google recently opened its Wikipedia competitor, styled "Knol" for unit of knowledge. I wrote a definition of cleantech to put up on Knol, and upon reflection, it's probably an overview worth passing around. Especially given that at my own sites - CleantechBlog.com and Cleantech.org - and at CNET's Green Tech Blog, we have been significant contributors to defining the sector. Without further ado, here is the definition:
Cleantech, also referred to as clean technology, and often used interchangeably with the term greentech, has emerged as an umbrella term encompassing the investment asset class, technology, and business sectors which include clean energy, environmental, and sustainable or green, products and services. (See various definitions below.)
The term has historically been differentiated from various definitions of green business, sustainability, or triple bottom line industries by its origins in the venture capital investment community, and has grown to define a business sector that includes significant and high growth industries such as solar, wind, water purification, and biofuels.

The Dialogue on BELIZEAN and BOHEMIAN GROVE Misses the Point! by Mary Moore |
June 2009 No matter how wealthy or well connected the women at Belizean Grove are they are in no way as powerful as the men at Bohemian Grove because women are just beginning their climb up the corporate and political ladder that has been the exclusive domain of men for centuries. My disappointment with these women is that they would even try to emulate the dynamic which many of us see as old, outdated and destructive to the world. Why would progressive thinking women want to name themselves after a club that excludes them? Why would they want to copy a model that has caused the world so much grief? If men or women want to get together by themselves for recreation and comradeship that's fine. But the idea that we can get together to network and connect in the name of power and control at the expense of the rest of the planet is not. When I first heard about all this (and thank you Stephen Colbert!) I thought that perhaps their name was a tongue-in-cheek poke at the Bohos, but after going to their website and reading their mission statement I'm not so sure. I hope my sisters aspire to a more egalitarian world than the one the boys have created instead of carrying on the status quo with a different gender. |

Hospital gets $17,100 from Gift Shop League: A check for $17,100 was presented to the Graham Hospital last night by the Graham Hospital Gift Shop Service League. The presentation was made by Mrs. Oscar Ernst, gift shop manager, to Donald G. Loftus, assistant administrator of the Graham Hospital, at the annual dinner meeting at the Canton Country Club. The funds will be used for the Development Fund. About 75 members and guests attended. Previously the League has given $87,100 to the hospital. This brings the total League donations to $104,200 since the Gift Shop opened in 1959. These funds are from the Gift Shop sales as well as the profits from the annual benefit luncheon and the membership dues. The Board of Directors for 1971 were named as follows; Mrs. William Page, president; Mrs. Russell Cardosi, first vice president; Mrs. Freeman Grant, second vice president; Mrs. Charles Taylor, recording secretary; Mrs. Phil Sidener, corresponding secretary; Miss Louise Sebree, treasurer; and Mrs. John Rusnak, Mrs. Dannie Moore, Mrs. Fred Myers, Mrs. Carl Soldwedel, Mrs. Vernon Denney, Mrs. Dean Sandidge, Mrs. Francis Strantz, Mrs. Edward Newcomb, Mrs. Charles L. Martin, Mrs. Ralph Huff, Mrs. Myron Lamm, Mrs. Fern Saurbaugh; Mrs. Mildred Jacobus, Mrs. Paul Lottman and Mrs. Whitnah H. Barton, board members. Mrs. Dannie Moore is the new Gift Shop manager. There are 71 active members in the League who pay dues and volunteer their time to work in the Gift Shop and on the Gift Shop cart. Mrs. Dale Wellbaum reported the puppet committee, consisting of 126 members, donated 464 hours to make 769 puppets last year. These puppets are given to the children in the Pediatrics Ward. The puppet committee meets the second Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. in the Congregational Church. Mrs. James Blakeley is chairman. President Mrs. William Page, who was unable to attend due to illness, will name her committee chairmen at the next dinner meeting.

Protein involved in the transport of hydrogen ions across a membrane. Used to power processes such as ATP synthesis and bacterial flagellar rotation.
Protein involved in the transport of ions. Such proteins are usually transmembrane and mediate a movement of ions across cell membranes. Transport may be passive (facilitated diffusion; down the electrochemical gradient), or active (against the electrochemical gradient). Active transport requires energy which may come from light, oxidation reactions, ATP hydrolysis, or cotransport of other ions or molecules.
Protein involved in the transport of a molecule (metabolite, protein, etc), a ion or an electron across cell membranes, inside the cell or in a tissue fluid.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Terri Harnish
"This is an original recipe, inspired by the Jalapeno Sweet Potato Soup at Homestead Heritage in Waco, TX."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 sweet potatoes
1 whole jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup walnut pieces
Awesome! Even my husband liked these and he isn't the biggest sweet potato fan. The only changes I made were to top with pecans instead of walnuts, cut the butter in half during the mashing step, and omitted the melted butter at the end. I suspected that all that butter wasn't totally necessary and I was right (at least for our tastes). Don't skip roasting the jalapeno, it gives the potatoes such a great flavor. Thanks!
My family was not crazy about this recipe, but I did use the white sweet potatoes and not the sweet yams. Perhaps I should try it again.

These are amazing!!! I've gotten really tired of the typical sweet potato dishes that are overly sweet and mixed with brown sugar, spices, etc. It's fine for Thanksgiving, but when it comes to summer, I want something with a fresh and bright flavor. This recipe totally fits the bill! I admit, I was running short on time, so I microwaved the potatoes on high for 6 minutes. I used the juice of one small orange. I mashed everything together and that was it. Time to dig in! I didn't bother drizzling the extra butter over top and baking in the oven. I also didn't use the walnut pieces, only because I didn't have any, but I'm sure it's quite tasty! The jalapeno really mellows as it roasts, so don't be afraid of using the whole pepper. Next time I will use two! I will also double the recipe. This is a keeper!
Super Yummy! My family isn't a huge sweet potato fan and these were a huge hit! I only had pickled jalapenos, I added a couple shallots, used frozen orange juice concentrate and less butter. They were super good and I found out from a friend that sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than other potatoes.
Absolutely delicious! Had a nice sharp taste to it, but not too hot. Very moist and not sweet. Very good with pork tenderloin marinaded in southwest adobo marinade. I too, cut the butter in half. Will definitely make again! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic! The jalapeno and cilantro perfectly balance the sweetness in the potatoes even with the OJ. I did not blend them I just mashed with a fork because others complained about them being too mushy. I did not have any walnuts but I think I will try this with Pecans next time which I think will be a better match for the butter and add some texture. This will be on the menu for Thanksgiving this year!
Delicious. Very sweet but counteracted by the jalapeno. Loved it. Will cook it again.
This is a great recipe especially when you don't want the sweet in the sweet potatoes. I boiled them instead of bake therefore I shouldn't have put as much orange juice. I served them with bbq chicken, green beans and corn. Thank-you Terri for sharing an excellent recipe.

If you think this is good, hang on; the Nitrix transformation still has a long way to go!
L-Arginine AKG - The Premier NO Booster
BSN has taken vaso-muscular volumization to the next level by developing a premier NO booster that ensures optimum NO production over current NO boosters. L-Arginine Alpha Keto-Glutarate (AAKG) has the unique ability to improve the conversion process of Arginine into NO. However, the NO boosting power of this specific amino acid is heavily dependent upon the bonded ratio of L-Arginine to AKG. After months of extensive research BSN has developed a precise bonded ratio of L-Arginine to AKG. This ratio promotes an increase in NO production over standard bonded versions of L-Arginine AKG. BSNs proprietary AAKG technology makes Nitrix the worlds premier NO booster.
Methocel - Controlled Release Technology!
The muscle enhancing benefits of NO are only as effective as the delivery system that is able to maintain a constant level of this molecule in the blood. Until recently NO was unable to be released at a controlled and sustained release rate. Without this required release profile the body cannot benefit from this powerful vaso-muscular volumizer. This is why BSN went to great lengths to ensure that Nitrix had the most scientifically validated and effective release protocol for NO ever developed. We enlisted the help of one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world to develop a proven delivery system that would outperform any release profile ever developed for this new breakthrough class of supplementation. BSNs exclusive release technology (aka Methocel - a micro-polymer hydrophilic ether matrix) was developed by Dow Chemical to control the release rate of specific ingredients. Methocel provides Nitrix with a constant and steady release rate of NO and maintains its concentrations in the blood near 24 hours. BSNs controlled release technology has just opened up the unlimited muscle and performance enhancing potential of NO.
The Vital Nutrient Support SystemNitrix contains a vital support system that provides the body with specific nutrients that are required to effectively utilize the vaso-muscular volumizing properties of NO.
Nutrient #1 An Essential NO Enzyme - Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential NO enzyme that has a vital role in the conversion of L-AAKG to NO. Without the addition of this enzyme NO conversion is minimized to less than ideal levels. However, with the added support of this enzyme NO production is considerably increased to levels that may have never before been obtainable by the body.
Nutrient #2 A Key NO Donor - L-Citrulline is an amino acid that is an extremely powerful NO donor. This relatively unheard of amino acid has a significant role in the bodys NO production process due to its unique ability to continually recycle itself into NO. This continuous recycling procedure promotes increased and sustained levels of NO in the blood.
Nutrient #3 A Precise Blend of Essential Phosphates - Phosphoplexx is a precise blend of essential phosphates that are crucial in the uptake and storage of nutrients in the muscle cell. Without these phosphates the bodys ability to increase and store the amounts of protein (amino acids), glucose (carbohydrates), ATP, creatine, oxygen, and calcium within the muscle are significantly limited. Phosphoplexx enhances the uptake of these nutrients into the muscle which is extremely important to achieve the true potential of NO.
The addition of this vital support system amplifies the bodys ability to produce and significantly increase NO to optimal muscle and performance enhancing levels.
Instructions: Take 3 tablets in the morning on an empty stomach and 3 tablets before lunch on an empty stomach. It is recommended to take Nitrix on an empty stomach approx. 30 minutes before meal. Taking with food or on a full stomach, ephedra, or high amounts of glutamine will diminish its effects.
NOTE: It is recommended to take Nitrix on an empty stomach approximately 30-45 minutes before meals (taking Nitrix with food or on a full stomach will diminish its effect). Additionally, while taking Nitrix it is ideal to keep glutamine consumption to 10 grams or under per day. Taking a product that contains ephedrine will also diminish the effects of Nitrix it is recommended to take it everyday, and consume 120oz of water per day and a diet that is rich in protein and carbohydrates. Every individual's body chemistry and weight will determine how long it takes for Nitrix to induce its maximum effects. Many individuals may notice the initial signs within the first 7-14 days, and each week thereafter the effects should become more pronounced. Others may begin to notice the initial signs in days 14-21, and again, each week thereafter the effects should become more pronounced. Nitrix begins to induce its maximum vaso-muscular volumizing effects in weeks 3-12. After 12 weeks of use, discontinue for at least 4 weeks. Store in a cool dry place!
Warning: Seek advice from a health card practitioner prior to use if you have any pre-existing medical condition including (but not limited to): hypotension, hypertension, heart, liver, or thyroid disease, diabetes, psychiatric disease, pernicious anemia, anxiety, depression, seizure disorder, cardiac arrhythmia's, stroke, difficulty urinating due to prostate enlargement, or if you are taking an MAO inhibitor or any other prescription drug. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. Reduce or discontinue use if excessive sleeplessness, tremors, dizziness, nervousness, headaches, or heart palpitations occur. For use by healthy adults only. Not intended for use by persons under the age of 18. Keep out of reach of children.

BSN Nitrix AVTP Review Review by AstroNutrition In-House Review
Rating First off, I do believe CEE is just a cheap creatine that is not as great as other popular creatines. However, I did not realize Nitrix had any creatine much less CEE when I purchased it.
I purchased Nitrix for its all day and night pump to help with recovery and my body's genetics that makes fat accumulate on my mid-section faster than other areas. I did not really choose it to improve my appearance, but rather get my body to more efficiently use the protein and complex carbs I spend so much money on buying.
I knew from the start that it could be weeks before the pump effect of Nitrix is felt. However, within a week I began to feel the pump. This included my pecs twitching all day as if I had just finished lifting weights.
Within just a few months of consistently taking the daily doses of Nitrix on an empty stomach, I noticed amazing results. This included losing my minimal love handles almost entirely and the layer of fat on my belly. Below the layer of fat I realized I had not a 6-pack, but actually an 8-pack of ripped abs. This was especially amazing since I do not specifically work out my abs.
I still do not think much of the creatine in Nitrix, but the product does work and made me a continued customer of BSN's products. (Posted on 3/6/11)

This team is frustrating. No doubt about it, but we fans should take a breath and put things into perspective.
We just won the National Championship. All we returned was a guy who played spot minutes and a transfer PG who sat out. I had high standards for this season, but I haven't been overly critical. This is clearly becoming a rebuilding year.
Only Noel should go pro, but I won't be surprised to see Poythress and Goodwin leaving as well. Poythress definitely should stay.
One of our many problems, and it was so obvious today, is that we do not have a single "go to" guy when we need a basket. I was hoping at the beginning of the year that Wiltjer would be that guy, or from reports it would be Goodwin. But we have no one. And as far as Nates statement about going to the NBA, I don't think we have 1 guy that ought to go. Noel is a force on D but his offensive skills are very limited and would be eaten alive in the NBA. Bubble team? Almost a certainty at this point.
