[edit] Mishing

Dictionary-like definition for a process that seems to be either nonexistent or only recognized as this from a very small group of people. Google search for "mishing" turns up results on unrelated things. Mr Bound 13:30, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

  • KEEP IT! Keep keep keep.

Strong KEEP IT! Very informative article!

  • delete It seems like nonsense. --TimPope 13:39, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
  • weak delete The term pronounced "mish" is contraction of the word mission, an infrequently used slang term in the north of England. It has little importance in dialectic speech, now being used rarely and mostly amongst children of primary school age. All other information on the page is nonsense. --Lejend 13:51, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
    • The place to say "the word mish is a slang contraction of the word mission" is the dictionary, of course, which is over there. Uncle G 00:05, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
  • I now see the apparent additions to the page. "Liverpool Mishketeers" returns zero Google results, and seeing as the homepage of the group is a Geocities page, I think it confirms non-notability. Mr Bound 14:00, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep it, very informative, provided enough information, past and present, that can help other bored/frustrated teenagers either take part in their own 'mishes' or to create their own pointless yet fulfilling past-times. -- Ashall bogus, actually by 82.42.229.59
  • Keep It!!! Is everyone stupid? This is a great page providing a valuble insight into a worldwide teenage phenomonon. It explains in detail why geocities address is used. -- Rob bogus, actually by 81.132.114.125
  • Personal attack removed by TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib). -- Anon bogus, actually 81.132.114.125
  • Keep It!! Well I like it. --User:Tony bogus, actually by 81.132.114.125
    • Comment. The last five edits, made by IPs 82.42.229.59 and 81.132.114.125, are, according to Arin [1] both owned by the RIPE Network Coordination Centre in Amsterdam. I suspect that these votes can be disregarded as being made by the same anonymous individual, as the history clearly shows that none of these users was logged in. Also, I would like to remind said user(s) to please refrain from personal attacks such as contending my sexual preferences. Mr Bound 20:50, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

  • ICE TEA Don't knock it untill you have tried it, this is exactly the same, top site guys, if this goes I go! User:John Francis Paul Baird-College Court-Edwardian bogus, actually by 82.42.229.59
  • Disgusted The complaints and the fact that there is even a discussion board proclaiming the possible deletion of a past time in which I have donated vast amounts of money and time in order to increase the awareness of such a marvelous social gathering.

  • Delete and sentence the sock puppets to six weeks of Lamb Chop's Play-Along. ESkog 21:41, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sock puppet limit has been reached. RickK 23:19, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Appears to be only popular amongst socks. Capitalistroadster 01:39, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Protestors in this vote really should go play outside. Neologism/vandalism. Geogre 02:34, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete; nonsense; wouldn't even have noticed it except for this ridiculous sockpuppet campaign. Antandrus (talk) 03:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this nonsense as quickly as possible, even if it means a sysop "accidentally" bumping Delete This Page *wink wink*. Master Thief GarrettTalk 03:34, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete with extreme anti-sock prejudice. Alai 03:37, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment. I have removed the personal attacks placed by the anonymous users, since they contained no arguments for or against deletion. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 04:13, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Vandal supported nonsense. jni 06:35, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP IT. In all seriousness, this isn't nonsense! Mishing is an actual pastime and an actual slang term used by Europeans. The article is accurate throughout and at the same time it's funny. The figures cited have a small margin of error and facts presented are indeed true.
  • Do you people have no sense of humour? Is anything that isn't 'academic' enough for you to be deleted? The fact is, if anyone DOES want to know what mishing is, then this page is ideal-not only this, but it's hilarious.
  • Aside from the above - most of the votes for non-deletion aren't 'bogus' at all. They're from different IPs. They should surely be counted. The names are actually the real names of the people who posted. Once again-the sense of humour arguement is coming into play here. Don't you people get it? It's funny and informative!
  • AND OH YES I ALMOST FORGOT...THIS IS NOT A HOAX!!! IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE.
  • KEEP IT! Ok, so some of the points *might* be made up, but the "Mishing" itself actually exists, so it should stay. by John Baird

KEEP IT Not only is it a valid activity but it also encourages teenagers not to use drugs and/or wear hooded tops.

  • KEEP IT - on the basis that 'Mishing' DOES actually exist and thus should have a page dedicated to it, explaining the pastime to others.
  • I seriously recommend that this webpage be kept. It provides an insight into a very weird (maybe wonderful?) world of a group of youths in the Liverpool Region of England. Having travelled to Ukraine on a visit to Kiev, (sorry, but i went to see the Eurovision Song Contest), I was informed of the phenomonon of "mishing". Apparently, the original three "Mishketeers", spread the phenomonon through a mutual appreciation of Liverpool Football Club with another small group of Ukrainian youths. However, in the Ukraine, mishing has more of an edge apparently. Mainly because you stand a risk of getting shot. Yours Sincerely, Bally
  • Can I just say thankyou to 'Bally' for that...whoever you are.
  • Keep this page! I've heard of Mishing, and it does exist. The page should stay because it is not made up. And on the plus side, it's also hilariously funny in parts. Moreover, I think if anyone did want to know about mishing, then this page is ideal.
  • Tenofalltrades, my good friend, I think you'll find I've contributed to other pages as well. Sincerely, Bally.
    • If your first contribution was to this page, that is what is important. And your first contribution was the one denoted by Ten. Mr Bound 20:49, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete without even looking at the article. Anything attracting this many sock puppets must be deleted. — JIP | Talk 09:06, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for sure. --minghong 10:45, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nonsense. carmeld1 23:24, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep It! not only is this article informative, factually correct, witty AND explains all the quieries from small minded 'intellectual' bigots above, it also provides an invaluble insight into youth culture and a worldwide phenomonon. Perhaps "delete" voters are 'sock puppets' ????? Rob 23:24, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Let the old girl stay. Light hearted amusement never goes wrong plus, I ask that some of you go to Ukraine and see the influence of mishing on some of the youth there. Its very impressive. Yours Most Sincerely, Bally.
