From Phase I to Phase II

I wonder how far we are from the tipping point from Phase I to Phase II? Sometimes it seems like the only thing propping up the war on pedophilia is that its opponents have been intimidated into silence. If they were to gain their courage, they could win, I think. It wouldn't be possible to ostracize all of them. Lysander (talk) 02:34, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

No archivedate

The parameter |archivedate= should not be set for the links containing his articles. We do not have archived urls for them. ____meco (talk) 20:26, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

If you don't set an archivedate, you get an error message --Etenne (talk) 21:38, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Indeed. That's the error that needs fixing. __meco (talk) 21:41, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Set it as |archivedate=unknown if you don't know.--Etenne (talk) 21:45, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Either you do not understand the use of this parameter or you are settling for a quick and dirty fix. I suggest that the technical issue be addressed to resolve this problem. __meco (talk) 21:55, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Do you know how to fix it? --Etenne (talk) 22:11, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

No, but I do notice that on pages where it has been employed previously the problem doesn't exist. Are there others around who could inspect this, perhaps? __meco (talk) 14:12, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

OK, I will try to look over it again and see why it does that. I looked at it yesterday but it wasn't readily apparent. --Etenne (talk) 14:38, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Is it now better or did I just make new problems? --Etenne (talk) 18:44, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Well, at least the article looks nice now, but you seem to have removed archiving parameters altogether. As for the rest of the changes you made, it would be hard for me to judge. It looks a bit scary. __meco (talk) 18:58, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Access to Mirkin's articles

Earlier today when I added the links to where his articles are published online they were free downloads. Now I logged in at a different location and they are not free. I suspect they were free earlier today because I was at the National Library of Norway and that they have a valid subscription to Taylor & Francis Group content. I will try again tomorrow and obtain free access to these articles, but even if I manage to get them, I suppose they couldn't be readily re-distributed? Does anyone have any idea how to go about this? __meco (talk) 20:38, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
