사용자:CrisGualtieriMichael Brown 촬영에서의 행동

ChrisGualtieri는 컨센서스 또는 컨센서스를 초래하는 어떤 과정이 논쟁적인 내용을 개선하는 데 어떻게 기여하는지 인식하지 못한다.이러한 행동은 마이클 브라운의 촬영(토크 히스토리 링크 감시 로그 편집)에 지장을 주었으며 이에 대처해야 한다.아래에서는 그의 행동을 요약해 보았지만 맨드루스가 이미 크리스 게얼티에리에게 합의점에 대해 이야기했다는 것을 먼저 주목해야 한다고 생각한다.크리스 게알티에리는 맨드루스가 합의를 찾고 따르라고 재촉하는 것을 무시했고 결국 합의가 전혀 중요하다는 것을 전혀 인식하지 못했다.이 때문에 ANI 이외에는 해결이 안 될 것 같다.Cwobeel은 ChrisGualtieri의 편집에 대해 크게 이의를 제기하고 많은 부분을 되돌리고 있다.밥 K31416, JBarta, Mandruss 등도 토크 페이지 토론에 참여하였으니 여기서 서로의 견해를 공유해 주었으면 한다.

ChrisGualtieri가 기사에 대한 토론에 들어갔을 때, 그는 기본적으로 ANI 토론을 합의의 증거로 인용하면서 기사의 편향성을 선언하는 섹션을 시작했다[1].ANI 토론이 합의점을 찾지 못한다는 것이 명백해진 후, ChrisGualtieri는 기사에 사용된 출처에 대한 분석을 주입하는 우려 섹션을 만들었다.JBarta는 ChrisGualtieri의 infodump에 대해 우려를 제기하였고, 다음의 논의는 ChrisGualtieri에게 BRD와 합의가 기사 작성에 중요하다는 것을 시사하였다[2].그는 정당한 이유 없이 그것을 사실상 무시한 채 쓰러뜨렸다.나는 인포덤프를 리팩터링해야 한다는 생각을 꺼냈지만, 합의는 반대였다.Cwobeel에 의해 특집 기사 기준이 엉뚱하게 제기되었을 때 ChrisGualtieri는 BLP 기사는 GA/FA 후보로서 다루어져야 한다고 말했다. ChrisGualtieri가 어떻게 속도를 늦추고 그것을 단계별로 취해야 하는지에 대해 더 많은 논의를 한 후 ChrisGualtieri는 다른 편집자들과 협력하기로 동의했다[3].

이어 비판 여론이 다수를 차지해 기사 접수/논란 부분이 NPOV가 아니라고 했다.Cwobeel과 내가 소수 의견과 적절한 비중을 추가하는 것에 대해 반대했음에도 불구하고, ChrisGualtieri는 기여하지 않는 이유로 전쟁을 편집하기를 원하지 않는다고 언급했지만 원래의 아이디어에 대한 어떠한 주장도 하지 않았다[4].그는 또한 허핑턴 포스트복스가 신뢰할 수 없는 출처라고 진술하고 그러한 근거에서 이를 제거할 것을 제안했지만 편집자들은 그들의 신뢰성이 사례별로 기초하고 있음을 상기시켰다[5].그는 그 후 4명의 출처에 대한 사례분석에 들어갔다.허프 소스 1에서 Cwobel은 허프 소스 1과 실질적으로 같은 것을 말하는 NYT 소스를 발견했다.이어서 크리스 구알티에리는 허프 소스를 제거할 필요가 있다고 말했는데, 이에 근거한 위키백과 단락이 거짓이기 때문에, Cwobel이 그 소스를 기사에 소개한 이후 그는 그것을 제거할 것이라고 말했다[6].허프 소스 2도 논란이 되었고, 크리스 구알티에리는 BLP 위반이라고 말했으며, 쿠워벨은 윌슨의 증언에 대한 유효한 논평이라고 말했다[7].허프 소스 4는 한동안 논의되지 않았다.Huff 소스 3만이 그것을 제거하는 것에 대한 공감대를 가지고 있었다[8].

이 모든 일이 있은 후, Chris Guualtieri는 그것에 대한 합의도 없이 마이클 브라운의 슈팅 기사에서 나온 많은 정보들을 대량으로 제거했다.이 제거 작업은 Cwobeel에 의해 취소되었으며, 약간의 사소한 편집 전쟁이 있었고, 토크 페이지[9]에서 섹션이 시작되었다.크리스 구알티에리는 BLP를 인용, "허프 포스트가 한때 '똥 같은 리스트'에 올랐던 적이 있다 [...] 소재가 거짓이거나 품질이 높지 않다면, 처음부터 (큐벨에 대응하여) 삽입하지 말라"고 말했다.그는 그 원천을 제거하는데 합의된 근거를 제공하지 않았다.JBarta는 그것을 사례별로 검토해 볼 것을 제안했다.ChrisGualtieri는 RSN에 이 문제를 게시했지만, 거기서 나온 유일한 합의는 Vox는 괜찮다는 것이지만 HuffPost는 출처 자체에 대한 실제적인 논의 없이 의심스럽고 사례별이다.되돌린 후 허프 소스 1[10]에 대한 논의가 계속되었고, 나는 허핑턴 포스트가 카운티 대변인 인용에 있는 형사들을 언급했다는 점을 꺼냈기 때문에 NYT 소스와 모순되지 않았다.Cwobel은 이 점에 동의했다.ChrisGualtieri와 Bob K31416은 나의 요점을 완전히 무시한 채 토론을 계속했다.그런 다음 ChrisGualtieri는 NYT에 재입고하거나 추가 의견을 구하지 않고 Huff 소스 1과 관련 정보를 삭제했다.그리고 나서 Cwobel은 되돌아갔다.나는 내 의견을 반복했지만 아무런 반응도 받지 못했다.이후 편집(-warr)과 다른 주제에 대한 토론의 사소한 말다툼이 벌어졌지만 허핑턴 출처에 대한 진정한 합의는 없었다.Chris Guualtieri의 행동의 결과는 공감대를 형성하는 것의 붕괴이며 의심스러운 범위의 대중 소스-검토 때문에 그러한 소스들과 실제로 어떤 것도 하기를 꺼린다.이것은 일종의 해결책이 필요하다. --RAN1 (대화) 03:11, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

나는 Chris Guualtieri의 마음이 올바른 곳에 있다고 강하게 믿는다.나는 그가 기사에 맞는 것을 하는 것이 협력적인 환경에서 절대적으로 옳은 것이 될 수 없다는 것을 보지 못하고, 합의에 관한 어떤 어리석은 규칙보다 중요하다고 느끼는 많은 경험 있는 편집자 중 한 명이라고 믿는다.본질적으로 그러한 편집자들은 성경처럼 모든 규칙을 무시하고, 의식적이든 아니든, 그들의 정의로운 목표를 달성하기 위해 필요한 모든 것을 정당화하기 위해 그것을 사용한다(3RR과 같은 밝은 선을 피하면서).나는 개인적으로 IAR이 득보다 실이 많다고 생각한다, 그 이유 때문이다.나는 이 게시판에 주의를 끌기 위해 문제의 한 예를 제외하는 것이 공평한지 모르지만, 문제가 해결되려면 한 번에 한 사람씩 다뤄져야 한다고 생각한다.-맨드러스 인터뷰 03:28, 2014년 12월 15일(UTC)[응답하라]
  • 논평: 이것은 어떤 것에 대한 예방보다 징벌적 조치를 요구하는 것처럼 나를 바라본다.징벌적이라 할 수 없지만 예방(그리고 예방할 수 있는 긴급한 것은 없는 것 같기 때문에, 아마도 이 보고서가 분쟁해결에 더 적합한가? -- WV 03:31, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
물론이지, 만약 우리가 DRN에서 하루에 여러 번 새로운 이슈를 열고 싶다면.나는 이것이 어떤 특정한 콘텐츠 이슈에 관한 것이라고 생각하지 않는다.-맨드러스 인터뷰 03:34, 2014년 12월 15일(UTC)[응답하라]
  • 그것은 이야기로 가득 찬 토크 페이지다.그것은 더 많은 편집자들의 POV와 관련이 있을 수 있다.문제의 핵심은 복스미디어와 (어느 정도는) 허프포가 출처로 받아들여질 수 있느냐다.크리스는 이 기사에서 인용한 허프포 작품이 여러 면에서 잘못되었다고 토크 페이지에서 주장하고 있다. 경험이 풍부한 BLP 편집자 몇 명이 그것을 보고 전화를 걸도록 하자.요점만 훑어보면 나는 크리스의 주장이 설득력이 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 하지만 나는 단지 그것을 대충 짚었을 뿐이다.복스 미디어에 대해서는--나는 그것에 대해 그렇게 많은 믿음을 두지 않을 것이고, 그리고 RAN이 링크한 단일 디프프에서 수집된 편집의 모음은 솔직히 나를 논란의 여지가 없는 것으로 생각한다(그리고 그러한 과잉 참조된 기사에서 많은 출처를 제거하는 것은 정말로 문제가 되지 않는다).그래서 진짜 문제가 뭐야?편집자들이 서로 동의하기를 거부한다?그것은 위키백과의 강좌와 같은 수준이다.그러나 예를 들어, 차단 가능한 정도의 편집 전쟁을 위해 제시된 증거가 없는 한, 여기서 요구되는 것은 무엇인가?크리스가 냉철하다고?하지만 그것은 그의 상대에게도 적용될 것이다.드레이미스 (대화) 03:45, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
나는 우리가 합의의 우위성을 인정해 줄 것을 요구하고 있다고 생각한다.크리스는 그것에 여러 번 동의했고, 그리고 나서 합의 없이 편집하거나 반대하여 자신의 합의를 위반했다. 하지만 그것은 그의 상대에게도 적용될 것이다.아니, 다른 편집자들은 이 기사에서 그렇게 하지 않고 있어. 적어도 크리스가 도착한 이후로는 그런 일이 없었거든.토론에서 냉철함이 아니라 그 과정을 존중하는 것이다.Mandruss 인터뷰 03:53, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
  • 는 코멘트를 한 했던 사용하지 않은 언급들을 삭제했다.나는 많은 WP를 다루었다.BLP는 각 출처를 검토하고 많은 사람들과의 문제를 발견했기 때문에 토론 페이지를 채우고 편집자들을 화나게 했다.대화 참조:마이클 브라운 #컨서른스 촬영.또한 나는 허핑턴 포스트와 복스 문제를 @MastCell:와 @DGG:와 함께 RSN에 가져갔다. 내가 WP와 함께 가졌던 것과 같은 우려에 근거한 주장을 펴기 위해:RSOPINONWP:IRS 전체.ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:47, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

길고 논쟁이 많은 며칠 후 ChrisGualtieriWP를 준수하기로 동의했다.BRD[11]는 오랜 시간 이 프로젝트에 참여했고, 그의 지위에 비추어 볼 때, 약속을 이행하지 않을 것이라고 믿는다.자, 그럼 시간을 좀 주자. - 쿠워벨 (대화) 03:55, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답하라]

(충돌 편집)참고로, 여기 기사에 대한 편집자들의 활동이 있다.[12]

나는 ChrisGualtieri와 문제가 없었다.기사가 POV에 문제가 있는 것 같은데, 워낙 적극적이어서 견제하기 어려운 편집자 때문이다.ChrisGualtieri는 기사를 균형있게 이끌어내기 위해 필요한 잠재적으로 활동적인 편집자 입니다. --Bob K31416 (토크) 05:45, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

BTW, 기사의 POV 문제는 주로 Cwobeel에 의한 것이라고 생각한다. --Bob K31416 (대화) 06:16, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

밥, 많은 노련한 편집자들이 옆에 앉아서 Cwobel이 편집하는 것을 보고 아무것도 하지 않았기 때문에 그건 좀 약해.Cwobel은 최대 POV일 수 있지만, 그는 단지 일상적인 과정마다 BRD에서 B를 운동했을 뿐이다.나머지는 R 운동을 하지 못했다.누가 더 잘못한 거야?—맨드러스 인터뷰 06:25, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답하라]
WP를 알고 있는가?BLPWP를 따르지 않는다.BRD, 하지만 내가 지금 제거하기 전에 모든 사건을 아주 세세하게 설명하려고 노력했단 말이야?그 글과 맥컬러 페이지에 있는 것 중 일부는 말도 안 된다.출처를 밝힌다고 해서 이와 같은 논평이 페이지에 나와 있다는 사실이 바뀌지는 않는다.

마크 와이즈브로트 경제정책연구센터 공동소장은 맥컬로치를 "윌슨 사태에서 누구라도 가질있었던 최고의 변호사 중 한 명"이라고 언급하며 "맥컬로치는 윌슨에 대한 불기소 결정을 내렸고, 대배심 진행 상황을 재판으로 제시했다"고 말했다.

일부 편집자들은 그것이 출처되었기 때문에 그 기사에 있는 것이 전혀 문제될 것이 없다고 생각하는 것 같다.WP:RSOPINONWP:의문점은 여전히 WP와 관련이 있다.NPOV는 이런 종류의 "신뢰할 수 있는 비판"을 큰 부분에서 많이 얻었을 때 나타난다.ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:42, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
나는 보통 꽤 무거운 ANI 게시물을 쓴 직후에 이것에 대해 논평하는 것에 반대한다. 하지만 분명히 말하고자 한다. (1) 나는 현재 설정된 방식으로 그 기사를 지지하지 않는다.그것은 잠재적인 BLP 함의가 있는 비부분적인용문들의 덩어리인데, 그것에 대해 뭔가 조치가 취해져야 할 필요가 있다. 하지만, 내가 말하고자 했던 것의 DR은, --> WP:컨센서스 <-- --RAN1 (대화) 06:48, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
크리스, 지금 우리는 잘못된 곳에서 콘텐츠에 대해 토론하고 있어. 그리고 내가 그렇게 할 수 있는 능력이 있다고 해도 난 여기엔 참여하지 않을 거야.나의 제안은 가장 중요한 특정 콘텐츠 이슈를 선택하여 DRN에 가져가자는 것이다.그 동안, 그 과정을, 그리고 인내심을 위해 다시 한번 추천해주길 바란다.Mandruss 인터뷰 07:01, 2014년 12월 15일(UTC)[응답하라]

(런1) 이틀 전에 나는 삭제 작업을 했지만, 그 이후로는 (나포를 구하지 않았다) 왜냐하면 복잡하고 다른 의견을 가진 편집자들이 많기 때문이다.BLP에 잠재적인 영향이 있다고 동의할 경우 WP:BRD는 평상시처럼 적용되지 않는다.일반적으로 의심스러운 문제들은 재삽입 전에 제거되고 논의된다 - 그것들은 그 동안 남아있지 않다.거기서부터 시작했지.나는 심각한 위반 사항이 삽입되고 섹션이 주어지며, 다른 페이지로 복사되고 주 대표들을 공격하는 것을 보았다.솔직히 맥컬로치는 몇 가지 오류를 범했고 많은 오류들이 기사에서 다루지 않았지만 나는 WP에 추가하는 것에 동의할 수 없다.문맥과 균형이 상실되었을 때 인용농장은 더 많은 비판을 쏟아내거나 한다.나는 아래에서 나의 장황한 반박을 삭제한다.내가 이틀 동안 해결하려고 했던 오해가 있어.나는 이것을 무시했기 때문에 이것을 붕괴시킨 것이 아니라, 자바르타의 말이 옳았기 때문에 붕괴시킨 것이다.공간을 절약하기 위해, 나는 그것을 당신의 토크 페이지에 자세히 설명하겠다.ChrisGualtieri (토크) 07:12, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

재료가 잘 공급되기 때문에 WP를 우회할 수 있는 BLP 문제는 전혀 없다.BRD. 만약 우리가 그 합의를 얻을 수 없다면, 이것은 끝이 보이지 않는 장기전이 될 것이다.많은 편집자들은 이미 여러 번 당신에게 다음과 같이 물었다: (a) 천천히 한 번에 한 걸음씩; (b) BRD를 사용한다.이 두 가지 제안을 따르면 우리는 이 기사를 완성하고 개선할 수 있을 것이다. - Cwobel (대화) 15:29, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

내가 아는 BLP 문제는 적어도 하나 있는데, 예를 들어 당신이 윌슨에게 부정적이고 사실과 일치하지 않는 일방적인 TV 쇼의 의견 형식의 녹취록에서 얻었다는 리사 블룸의 근거 없는 가상적 추측이다.당신의 끊임없는 그릇된 추론과의 이전 논의 때문에, 나는 당신과 토론하지 않길 바란다. --Bob K31416 (대화) 16:15, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
흠. 방금 삭제하려고 기사를 봤는데 찾을 수가 없었어.아마도 ChrisGualtieri가 그것을 삭제했을 것이다.그렇다면 잘했어. --Bob K31416 (대화) 16:25, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

이것이 분쟁의 핵심이다.

  • 크리스는 이 기사가 BLP를 위반한다고 강력하게 믿고 있다(정확하게 반대되는 POV를 가진 상당수의 편집자들이 수개월 동안 적극적으로 관여해 왔음에도 불구하고)
  • 크리스는 중대한 BLP 위반이 없다는 합의(모든 편집자가 몇 가지 문제가 될 수 있고 기사가 개선될 수 있다는 것에 동의함)를 받아들이지 않고 일방적으로 행동한다.
  • 크리스는 기사토크에서 폭넓은 논의를 시작하지만, 토론이 타협점을 찾기를 기다리지 않고 다시 일방적으로 행동한다.
  • Chris는 사용자 대화에서 템플릿과 함께 다른 사람들을 명예 훼손으로 고발한다 [13]
  • 크리스는 Nei에게 그렇게 한 것에 대해 그의 손목을 얻어맞는다[14].NeiN의 요청을 받고 템플릿을 제거한다.
  • NeiN 코멘트는 이 모든 것이 소싱의 문제고 당신이 생각하는 것이 적절하거나 적절하지 않다고 생각하는 것 입니다. "사용해서는 안 된다"는 3단계 방어 경고가 보증되지 않으며, 현재 귀하가 동의하는 물질이나 신뢰할 수 있는 소스로 나타나지만 귀하가 충분히 소싱되지 않았다고 느끼는 물질에 대해서는 보증하지 않는다.
  • 크리스는 합의를 존중하기로 동의하지만, 약속을 잊고 다시 혼자 행동한다.
  • 크리스는 BRD와 DR을 따르겠다고 약속하지만, 오늘 다시 그것을 부인한다[15] (이것은 크리스가 며칠에 걸쳐 다섯 번째다: [16], [17], [18], [19], BLP에 대한 극히 좁은 해석에 기초하여, 합의와 다른 사람들의 조언에 반대한다.

  • 논평 - 나는 BobK가 이것에 대해 취한 것에 동의한다. Chris는 그 기사에서 추진하는 명백한 POV의 일부를 다루었고, 그 결과, 그러한 문제들을 식별하고 수정하는 그의 "행동"이 지금 비난 받고 있다.문제의 일부는 편집자들이 그의 편집이 기사의 개선인지 아닌지를 실제로 보고 있다는 것이다.대신 문제의 편집이 기사에 대한 개선인지조차 성가시게 여기지 않고 '그 편집에 대한 합의는 없다'거나 '그 편집에 대한 사전 합의가 있었다'는 주장을 펴면서 되돌리는 경우가 대부분이다.IMO, 그의 편집은 개선된 것이며, 기사에 NPOV의 균형을 되찾는 것과 일맥상통한다. Isaidnoway (대화) 2014년 12월 15일 18:41, (UTC)[응답하라]
의견 일치가 없는 편집이 '기사의 개선'이라면 왜 의견 일치가 없는 것인가.미안하지만 그건 말도 안 돼.편집 전쟁을 선호하지 않는 한 먼저 합의를 본 다음 편집을 하는 것은 잘못된 것이 아니다.물론 나는 여기서 논쟁적인 편집에 대해서만 말하고 있고, 사전 합의 없이 편집이 이루어지면 안 된다는 것은 아니다.BRD는 잘 작동한다.Mandruss ▷인터뷰 19:55, 2014년 12월 15일(UTC)[응답하라]
  • 논평 - 이것은 크리스가 개선을 위해 노력하는 단 한 명의 편집자의 드롭 다운을 놓고 거친 행동을 하는 고도로 동기부여가 된 편집자들의 소규모 태그 팀들에 의해 "개발될" 수 있는 거짓 합의에 대해 훨씬 더 밀어붙이는 것처럼 보인다.이 편집자들은 그들이 좋아하는 POV를 구축한 다음, 그 POV와 문제를 제기하고 그들 사이에 "합치"를 주장하는 단일 편집자들을 집단으로 공격한다.특정 POV가 문제의 기사로 굳혔다는 것은 분명하고 편집자들은 필요한 변화에 대해 마차에 동그라미를 치고 있다.크리스의 편집은 정책적인 불만과 건설적인 것처럼 보인다.이 물건은 선반을 해체하기 위해 외부의 도움이 필요하다.화강암모래 (토크) 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC) 19:12, 응답

  • 내가 이 주제에 대해 언론의 과부하를 받아왔고 나를 객관적이라고 생각하지 않는 현지인이기 전에 말했던 것처럼, 크리스는 정책을 위반하는 것처럼 보이는 콘텐츠를 제거하거나 대체하려고 한다.나는 Drmies의 대부분의 의견에 동의하는 경향이 있다.내가 알 수 있는 한, 지금까지 관여하지 않았거나 나 같은 편집자들이 기존의 편견 때문에 자신을 실격시킨 외부 입력에 대한 요구는 그리 많지 않았다.이 기사에 필요한 것은 훌륭하고, 자발적이지 않은 편집자로써, 오랫동안 서로 정기적으로 접촉해 온 다수의 사람들의 결점 있는 합의와 이 주제에 대한 포화상태의 언론 보도보다는, 외부인이 정책적으로 간주하는 것에 더 순응하도록 하는 것이다.
  • 나는 그 기사가 재량적 제재를 받고 있고, AE는 확실히 집행 가능한 상태라는 것을 전에 언급했는데, 왜 이것이 ANI에 대신 게시되었는지 다소 의아하다.나는 그 주제에 대한 포화상태의 보도, 그리고 아마도 한동안 그 주제에 관여했던 모든 사람들의 아마도 진솔한 시도들이 언론 보도를 가능한 한 잘 반영하기 위해, 어느 정도는, 나와 같이, 관련 편집자들을 압도하고 그들의 판단을 의심하게 만들었을 것이라고 생각한다.
  • 위의 다른 사람들이 말했듯이 명백한 결함이 있는 합의가 있다면 그것은 결함이 있는 합의일 뿐 진정한 합의는 아니다.나는 솔직히 어떻게 가야 할지 잘 모르지만, 지금 들리는 것처럼 끔찍한 느낌은, 어쩌면 가장 좋은 일은 기사를 개발한 사람들이 당분간은 그냥 내버려두는 것이 아닐까, 그리고 그 의견의 불일치와 합의에 관여하지 않아도 되는 새로운 편집자들이 현재의 상황을 이끌 수 있도록 하는 것이 아닐까 하는 생각이 든다.정책에 관한 그들의 보다 중립적인 관점에 기초하여 그것을 검토하고 그들이 필요하다고 생각하는 변경을 하는 기사.기사를 여기까지 발전시키기 위해 노력한 편집자들에 대해 아무런 말도 하지 않은 채, 그들이 동시대적이고 종종 선정적인 언론 보도, 그리고 적어도 현재의 합의를 이끌어낸 토론에 대한 사전 개입에 의해 어느 정도 편견을 갖지 않는다고 상상하는 것은 거의 불가능하다.부분적으로는 선정주의적인 보도를 근거로 들 수 있다.여기보다는 AE에게 허락된 대로 이것을 가져가는 것이 불합리하지 않을 수도 있다.존 카터 (대화)20:11, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
내 요점은, 분명히 하자면, ChrisGualtieri는 논쟁의 여지가 있는 기사를 변경하기 전에 실질적인 합의를 찾으려는 시도를 하지 않았다는 것이다.나는 그 기사에 어떤 공감대가 있었다고 말하려는 것이 아니었고, 사실 그것이 내가 이것을 ANI에 밀어붙인 주된 이유였다.완전한 공감대 부족은 그가 한 발짝 물러서서 모두가 동의할 수 있는 타협점을 찾으려 했어야 했고, 적어도 BLPN에서 다른 의견을 찾아보려 했어야 한다는 분명한 암시였어야 했다.AE가 적절한 장소인지 확실하지 않았지만, 무엇보다 냉각이 필요한 것이 분명해졌기 때문에 지금 그곳으로 전달하려고 생각하고 있다. --LAN1 (토크) 20:40, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
FWIW, 나는 AE가 크리스에게 유리한 판결을 내릴지도 모른다고 생각한다.대화 페이지 상단에 있는 BLP 통지문에서 인용한 다음과 같은 인용구는 "생존자에 대한 비소싱되거나 불충분한 논쟁적 자료는 즉시 제거되어야 한다"는 것이 고려 대상 작품 중 하나 이상에 매우 합리적으로 적용될 수 있다. 왜냐하면 그 소재는 아마도 "소싱되지 않은" ("잘못된"의 구체적 정의에 따라) 둘 다일 수 있기 때문이다.만약 그것이 사실, 명백히 틀렸다면 분명히 논쟁의 여지가 있다.그들의 사실의 일부를 잘못 이해시키기 위해 많은 관심을 받는 선정적인 주제에서 현대 미디어는 전혀 알려지지 않았다.그러나 그들이 그들의 사실을 잘못 알고 있다는 사실이 그것이 적절하게 소싱될 수 있기 때문에 반드시 포함되어야 한다는 것을 의미하지는 않는다.정책적으로, 그리고 위에서 제시했던 구체적인 인용문으로는, 템플릿이 즉시 제거되어야 한다고 말하는 어떤 것에 대한 합의를 기다릴 어떤 정책적인 이유도 존재하지 않는다고 생각한다.그것이 내가 그 기사를 개발한 사람들이 약간의 휴식을 취하고, 필요하며 일반적으로 생산적인 내용을 둘러싼 싸움에 관여할 필요가 없는 다른 사람들이 그것을 검토할 수 있도록 하는 것을 제안한 이유 중 하나이다.이전의 논의에서 그들의 무자격이 그들에게 어느 정도 중립성과 POV의 부족을 줄 수 있다. 이전 논의에 관련된 사람들이 부족할 것 같다.존 카터 (대화)20:51, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

나는 이 기사를 편집하려고 했을 때 내가 받았던 Cwobel 등의 ChrisGualtieri의 편집에 대한 응답은 거의 정확하게 일치한다고 말하고 싶다.이 기사는 여전히 많은 곳에서 매우 편향되어 있으며, Cwobel뿐만 아니라 몇몇 편집자들은 콘텐트의 제거는 결코 합의 없이 정당화될 수 없다고 느낀다.반대로 내용 대부분이 명백히 편향되어 있으며, 특히 '합의'는 본질적으로 많은 경우에 '큐벨의 허락'을 의미하기 때문에 의견 일치를 필요로 한다면 기사를 개선하는 것은 불가능하다고 생각한다.
'정책만 아는 것처럼 행동한다' '합의 없이 자료를 바꾸는 것은 파괴적이다' 등의 말을 편집자가 들은 것은 이번이 두 번째다.기사를 개선하려고 노력한 적어도 두 명의 편집자에게 같은 그룹의 편집자들이 같은 방식으로 대응하고 있다는 것을 의미할 수도 있다.로치(토크) 18:06, 2014년 12월 16일 (UTC)[응답]

(e-c) 질문에 답하는 것은, 아니, 반드시 모든 경우에 허용되는 것은 아니다.당신이 구체적인 예를 제시하지 않았기 때문에, 나는 몇 가지 구체적인 사례와 왜 그것이 반드시 거기서 효과가 있는 것은 아닌지를 보충할 것이다.
첫째, 선택한 의견에 대한 평등을 내포하고 있으며, 그 자체로 판단하기에 문제가 있으며, 관련 사실이 없음을 암묵적으로 나타내는 것 같다.명백한 사실 또는 사실 또는 최소한 정확성으로 인식된 명확한 진술이 있는 경우, 그것들은 관점보다 우선되어야 한다.이는 예를 들어 대중이 감정에서 특히나 대배심에 제시된 모든 증거에 대한 고려가 부족하여 다른 곳에서 반드시 신뢰성 있게 소싱되지 않은 관련자의 행동과 동기에 대한 결론을 내리는 경우에 관련될 수 있다.
또한 개인, 어쩌면 변호사나 정부 관계자가 특정한 방식으로 행동했을 수도 있고 그렇지 않았을 수도 있는 이유에 대한 학계나 전문가들의 의견도 문제가 되는데, 이는 개인 스스로가 제시한 명시된 사유에 비해 BLP에 따른 과도한 가중치를 부여할 수 있기 때문이다.개인이 구체적인 행동의 구체적인 이유를 밝히지 않은 경우에도 문제가 될 수 있다.
이벤트 섹션 또는 섹션에 대한 "대응"에 대한 충분한 근거가 있을 수도 있고 없을 수도 있으며, 그러한 섹션에는 대중의 반응이 포함될 수 있다.그러나 요컨대, 다시 말해서, 아니, NPOV는 다중 POV를 증명함으로써 달성될 필요가 없다.존 카터 (대화) 2014년 12월 16일 (UTC) 18:42, 응답

예를 제시하지 못해서 미안해.인용문의 수가 줄어들었다고 생각하지만, 여기 몇 가지 예가 있다(모두 한 단락에서).

로서 S. 하버드 로스쿨 형사사법연구소의 설리번 주니어는 맥컬로치가 이 사건에 대해 대배심의 자원을 사용하는 이례적인 사건이라며 결과에 대한 책임을 회피했다고 말했다.CNN과 더 뉴요커의 법률 분석가인 제프리 토빈은 맥컬로치가 "미주리 법이나 그 어디에서도 사실상 전례가 없는 문서 덤프, 접근법"을 시행하고 있다고 비판했다. 교수인 A. 할 수 포드햄 대학의 법학 교수인 코헨은 검찰이 보통 대배심원들을 이해할 수 있도록 증거를 제시한다고 말했다.

이들 모두 대배심 청문회에서의 위법성을 시사하는 의견들이다.그들 중 누구도 이 청문회가 미주리 주의 표준 관행일 가능성을 열어주지 않는다.이것은 문제가 된다. 왜냐하면 그것이 해야 할 일은 불완전한 시스템에 대한 코멘트를 하는 것뿐일 때 그것은 잘못된 것을 암시하기 때문이다.이러한 의견들은 그것이 가능한지조차 고려하지 않고 "그럴 것"이 다르게 이루어졌어야 했다고 진술하고 있다.

존 카터, 두 가지 예 모두 이 기사에 적용된다.대배심 청문회에 대한 시각은 있지만, 수사대배심에 대한 사실관계는 MO에서 볼 수 없다. 검사에 대한 비판도 있고, 찬성 의견도 거의 없다.편집자들이 언론인의 옳고 그름을 판단할 수 없어 이런 내용이 보도 내용이 잘 소싱되고 삭제에 면역이 된다고 생각한다면 기사는 편향된 채로 남게 될 것이다.또 기자들이 명백히 사실에 오류를 범한 사례도 있었고, 단순히 믿을 만한 출처에서 나왔다고 해서 명백하게 부정확한 진술을 계속 유지하는 것은 옳지 않다고 생각한다.(예:8월 19일, 한 사건 보고서가 데이터베이스에 입력되었다. 그것은 "사건 발생 후 10일 후"라는 것을 의미하는 것은 아니다.) 로치 (대화) 15:00, 2014년 12월 17일 (UTC)[응답]

출처는 비판의 주제와 존재하는 선택사항을 문서화한다.[20][21][22][23][24] 일부 비판은 변호인이 대배심에서 증인을 반대 심문하지 못했다는 것이다.NPOV를 복원하기 위해 출처와 그 논거의 검토가 필요하다.ChrisGualtieri (대화) 17:05, 2014년 12월 17일 (UTC)[응답]

나는 "크리스티나 크루시"를 위한 페이지를 만들었다.스위스 작가/화가그녀의 책은 볼리비아 정글에서 선교사들에 의한 5년간의 학대에 초점을 맞추고 있다.SRF1의 다큐멘터리도 제작되었다.그녀는 또한 어린이 보호를 위한 기반을 열었다.페이지를 만든 이후로 나는 사용자 SolaryVeritas가 Krusi의 책과 다큐멘터리에 대해 부정적인 삽입으로 페이지를 계속 편집하고 있다.그 결과 나는 그녀가 목격했다고 주장하는 의식적인 아동 살해 사건을 '사타닉'이라고 부르는 등 이용자의 만족을 위해 페이지에 편집된 내용을 90% 보관해 왔으며, 크루시의 명성에 부정적인 영향을 미치려고 하는 상세한 출처, 책과 다큐멘터리에 있는 그녀의 모든 주장에 '알레르기'를 삽입하는 주장, 다큐멘터리에 '노출'을 삽입하는 주장, p.'학대 청구 현황'(공개되지 않았음에도 불구하고 Krusi의 일기를 모독하는 내용 포함)에 대한 전문 단락을 제시하면서 부모들의 지지 부족을 강조하면서, "어린이 희생을 목격하고 그 피를 마시는 Krusi의 중심 이야기"와 같은 주관적인 문장은 사탄 의식 남용의 많은 유사한 설명과 일치한다.미국 연방수사국(FBI)의 케네스 래닝은 그러한 모든 비난이 증거를 보여주지 못했다고 보고한다.[22] 가디언지의 과학 저널리스트 크리스 프렌치(Chris French)는 사탄 학대에 대한 이야기는 거짓 기억에 바탕을 두고 있다고 쓰고 있다.[23"]을(를) 계속하여 사용자가 Krusi가 말하는 단어를 '믿지' 않는 방법에 대한 참조를 시도한다.지난 한 달 동안 전반적으로 솔라리베리타스의 텍스트 삽입은 크루시의 명예를 훼손하려는 의도로 삽입되었다.제발 도와줘.KHBibby (대화) 08:22, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답하라]

KHBibby는 그녀그녀의 작품들하나명백한 언론 사진을 업로드한 것을 보면, Krusi에서 일하고 있거나 Krusi와 제휴하고 있는 것이 거의 확실하다. (웹 해상도 및 나중에 OTRS에 의해 확인됨) 이 세 명의 다른 편집자 중 한 명이 Krusi와 관계를 맺고 있다는 것을 인정했기 때문에, 나는 우리가 한 무리의 동료들을 가지고 있을 가능성이 더 높다고 생각한다.기사 작업 중다시 말해서, 나는 지금 벌어지고 있는 일이 부메랑이 아니라 보살핌을 조언해야 한다고 생각한다.
SolarisVeritas가 실제로 추가한 내용을 살펴보면 특히 그렇다.두 번째 단락은 크루시의 계정이 사탄적 의식 남용에 관한 유사한 것과 일치한다는 것을 기술하는 비소싱 문장으로 시작하여, 즉시 두 개의 존경할 만한 소리 나는 출처(법 집행 전문가와 저명한 영국 언론인)를 꺼내어 사탄적 학대의 주장이 모두 거짓이라는 주장을 펼친다(어느 출처에서도 언급되지 않는다).크루시(Krusi)는 아예).그것은 BLP에서 음성 POV를 지지하는 노골적인 합성이다.그들이 좌절할 수 있는 한, COI를 괴롭히는 편집자들이 때때로 옳을 수 있다.—/Mendaliv///Δ's 13:53, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
그가 크루시의 페이지에서 일으킨 (그 반대쪽이 아닌) 솔라리베리타스의 불평을 읽고 나면, 당신은 내가 시작한 초기 페이지와 그가 지난 두 달 동안 그것에 대해 한 일을 비교하게 될 것이다(부정적인 삽입은 그의 것이다), 그가 편집한 페이지의 스토킹은 모두 크루시/책/문서를 훼손한다.그래서, 그 페이지를 만든 후, 나는 당신의 A+B+C를 읽고, 생각하기를, 당신은 이것을 이해하는가?작가/화가/창작 등 - 왜 다른 전기 작가들은 자신에 대한 책을 쓰고 솔라리베리타스는 미세한 이빨 빗으로 책을 뒤적거리지 않고 그가 찾아낼 수 있는 먼지를 뽑아내고 검증 가능한지 확인한 다음 그들의 위키 페이지에 삽입하는가?왜 안 되지?왜냐하면 솔라리베리타스는 쿠르시에게 골라서 자신의 페이지가 균형잡히는 것을 참을 수 없다는 것이 나를 비롯한 9명의 다른 사용자들로부터 명백하기 때문이다.여기에 솔라리베리타스 삽입물은 전체 페이지의 4분의 1이 넘고, 솔라리베리타스가 자신의 (주관적) 삽입물을 찾기 위해 무시하는 동일한 기사에서 검증 가능한 사실인 Krusi의 많은 논평을 담은 글에서 그가 꺼낼 수 있는 부정적인 것을 찾아낸다.그러나 이것은 크리스티나 크루시의 위키 페이지 - 살아있는 사람이며 모든 사용자가 파괴되지 않도록 개발하는데 도움을 준다.솔라리베리타스 사탄 의식 강박관념(그 주제에 대해 나에게 보내는 수 많은 대화 노트 - 이 주제에 대한 그의 편집 내용을 읽어달라), 크루시의 정신 상태 등(계속) 사이 솔라리베리타스의 의도는 페이지를 선정주의의 3페이지 타블로이드로 만들려는 것으로 보인다.또한 SolarisVeritas의 모든 '측면' 강연 사본과 그의 사용자 계정을 차단하지만 다른 사용자들에 의해 알려지는 완전한 책임의 삽입 요약을 다른 사용자 이름으로 열 것이다.나도 몇 년 동안 궁금해서 솔라리베리타스의 요청만으로 크루시에게 연락을 했다.그녀의 웹사이트는 그녀의 위키페이지와 연락처에 있다.솔라리베리타스는 크루시의 페이지에 열중하고 있다.지난 주 초의 페이지들을 비교해 보면, 내가 보여 준 것처럼, 나는 기꺼이 타협할 용의가 있다.그런 다음 갑자기 '거부자' 단락에 새로운 머리글을 추가하여 자신의 연구 결과를 강조하십시오.나는 또한 'Krusi claimes'나 'alleges'로 선을 그었고, Krusi, SIL, Wycliffe에게 공정성을 보장했다.또한, 와이클리프의 웹사이트에서 크루시, 사과, 그리고 다른 세부사항들에 대해 이야기하는 링크도 제공했다.나는 또한 SIL의 인용구를 어린이 안전 담당관으로부터 제출했는데, 부모는 지지하지 않고, 증명 가능한 사실들 사이의 갈등의 예들(예: 아동 살해, 시간 제약, 일기 - 예, 그녀가 그것을 썼어, 예, 나는 그것을 미발표라고 표현했고, 솔라리베리타스는 '비밀 언어' - 왜?)을 추가해야 해.SolarisVeritas는 또한 치료사, 부모들의 지원 부족 등에 대해 책, 인터뷰, 다큐멘터리 등 매우 상세하게 이야기하는데, 왜 Krusi가 이야기한 1000가지 중 10가지를 학대의 참혹함 등의 이야기와 균형을 맞추지 않고 골라내는가?당연하지.Try A=Krusi는 책을 쓰고(그녀의 이야기가 출판되고), B=주요 방송국(SRF1)은 이를 조사하고 그녀의 학대에 관한 다큐멘터리를 하고, C=는 학대받는 아이들을 위한 기반을 열어 유명한 작가 겸 화가가 된다.작가가 아니라도 괜찮고, 전기를 쓰고 두 단락의 '균형' 요약을 기대하는 것도 괜찮다(솔라리베리타스는 그가 내 토크 페이지에 쓴 'much cleaner'를 줄인 페이지를 원했다).제발 살아있는 사람 부분을 잊지 말아줘.다른 사용자들의 피드백을 더 받아주면 고맙겠는데, 이 페이지는 더 이상 SolarisVeritas의 불평이 필요하지 않아.KHBibby (대화) 2014년 12월 18일 (UTC) 10:00[응답]

이것은 Ladder 논리에 있다.Wtshymanski(토크 · 기여 · 카운트 · 로그 · 페이지 이동 · 블록 로그)는 다시 한 번 그의 개인적인 의견을 기사로 강제하려고 하고 있다.나는 이것이 두 개의 ANI가 되어야 하는지 확신할 수 없었지만, 여기 있다.

애초에 12월 10일에 그는 글의 어떤 것이 어떤 출처나 다른 곳에서 합성되었다고 주장하는 이 태그를 추가했다.그러나, 무엇이 합성되었는지(혹은 무엇으로부터도)에 대해서는, 토크 페이지에도, 어디에도 단서가 남아 있지 않았다.따라서 나는 그 태그를 불필요한 것으로 삭제했다.

Wtshymanski는 태그 [27], [28], [29]를 반복적으로 복원했다.각각의 경우에서 토크 페이지에 토론이 있다고 주장하는 경우.4월 28일(그리고 저것은 반달리즘) 이후 토크 페이지에는 아무것도 추가되지 않았고 그 이전의 마지막 게시물은 2013년 8월 25일이었다.Wtshymanski가 과거의 논의들 중 하나에 반박하고 있을 가능성은 있지만, 어떤 것에 대한 어떤 단서도 없이 어떤 문제도 고쳐지지 않을 것 같다.

둘째: 토크 페이지에서 보면, Wtshymanski는 중계 논리 시대에 사다리 논리가 존재하지 않았다는 견해를 가지고 있는 것이 분명하다.기사에는 Wtshymanski가 {{citation need}}태그(당시 참조되지 않았기 때문에 충분히 그럴듯하다고 추측할 수 있을 정도로)한 이 의견에 반하는 진술들이 두어 개 실려 있었다.나는 간신히 사다리 논리가 릴레이 논리에 사용되었다는 주장을 뒷받침하는 참조를 찾아 여기에 추가했지만, {{citation needs}} 여기에 ref가 적용되지 않는 문장에 태그를 달았다.나는 이어서 마지막 주장이 사실이 아님을 증명하는 참고자료를 찾아 그 주장을 삭제하고 여기에 참고자료를 추가했다.

문제는 이것이 뷔시만스키의 개인적인 지식 앞에서 날고 있다는 것이고 그래서 그는 자신의 의견에 대한 어떠한 뒷받침도 제시하지 않고 이곳과 평소처럼 신뢰할 수 없는 출처라고 선언한다는 것이다.그는 또한 정당성을 위해 숨겨진 언급을 덧붙이지만, 그 논평의 내용은 참조에 없다.이것은 지속적이고 보수적인 문제로서 1년 동안 계속되어 왔다.

이 두 가지 문제는 RfC(여기서 RfC는 2012년까지만 해도 그의 계속적인 건방진 편집과 관련하여 제기되었던 것이다.)에 대한 지속적인 주의를 거부하는 것을 보여준다.86.174.67.173 (대화) 12:21, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

우연히, 그의 토크 페이지의 공지 위에 언급된 내용은 누군가를 인신공격하는 것처럼 보인다.Wtshymanski#기억해야 할 중요한 것.86.174.67.173 (대화) 12:27, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
이 두 보고서는 사실 밀접하게 연관되어 있기 때문에 함께 묶은 것이 옳다.그것들은 둘 다 오래된 편집 전쟁을 재조정하는 Wtshymanski의 산물이다.만약 당신이 편집 이력을 더 돌아본다면 당신은 그가 합성되었다고 주장했던 것을 발견할 것이다.이는 그가 의도치 않게 합성되었다고 주장하던 문장 옆에 {Synthesis} 태그를 넣었기 때문이다 [30].그러나 태그가 추가되었을 때 문장이 합성된 것에 대한 참조가 없어서 태그가 잘못 적용되었다.
Wtshymanski가 하고 있었던 일은(편집 요약에서 시사한 대로) 다시 한 번, 중계 논리 시대에는 사다리 논리가 사용되지 않는다는 개인적인 신념을 강요하려고 시도했다.이것은 토크 페이지에서 다루어졌지만 두 개의 논평을 관련 없는 논의의 맨 아래에 버리기 때문에 주장대로 논의될 수 없었다.그 자료는 현재 우리의 IP 주소 친구로부터 참조되고 있다.Wtshymanski의 문제는 언급이 그의 개인적인 의견과 일치하지 않기 때문에, 그것은 틀려야만 한다는 것이다. (그러나 그는 언제나 그렇듯이, 그는 다른 누구의 지지를 받지 못하는 그의 변두리 이론을 뒷받침할 어떠한 과도한 언급도 제공하지 않는다.)
Wtshymanski가 단순히 두 번째 참조를 목표로 한 것이 아니라, 그가 두 가지 모두를 목표로 했다는 점에서 당신은 약간 틀렸다.'allaboutcircuits.com'이 위키백과 전체에서 문제없이 자주 사용됨에도 불구하고 {message source} 태그는 첫 번째 참조를 따르고 있다.참고로 그가 두 번째에 추가한 숨겨진 코멘트는 참고문헌에 명시되어 있지 않다.
개인적으로, 나는 '사다리 논리'라는 이름이 릴레이 논리 시대에 사용되었다는 것을 확신하지 못하지만, Wtshymanski와 달리, 나는 내 개인적인 의견이 아무런 비중을 차지하지 않는다는 것을 알고 있다. 그리고 어쨌든, 나는 특별히 그렇게 말하는 어떤 언급도 찾을 수 없다.하지만 논리적으로, 그 도표가 사다리와 닮았기 때문에, 나는 기술자들이 그것에 어떤 종류의 사다리와 관련된 이름을 붙이지 않았다는 것을 믿기 어렵다. ('사다리 다이어그램' - 오!와 같은) 그리고 빠른 구글은 많은 히트곡을 냈고, 많은 히트곡들은 릴레이 논리와 관련이 있다!)DieSwartzPunkt (대화) 13:51, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]
표면적으로는 ANI 문제가 아닌 또 다른 콘텐츠 분쟁처럼 보이지만, 근본적인 행동 문제가 있다.Wtshymanski는 일관되게 그의 개인 공학 경험으로 시작해서 그것을 기사에 넣으며, 만약 도전자가 자신에게 동의하지 않는 어떤 인용문도 거부하고, 그렇게 하는 인용문들을 부지런히 검색한다.문제의 기술이 어떻게 작용하는가에 대한 그의 말이 옳을 때(대부분의 경우) 그 결과는 마치 그가 가장 좋은 출처의 말을 알아내고 그 출처와 일치하도록 기사를 만드는 것으로 시작했던 것과 거의 같은 것으로 판명되었다.문제는 공학의 일부 분야에서 Wtshymanski가 진정한 신봉자라는 것은 가성과학에 해당하는 공학의 특징일 뿐이며, 그러한 경우 그는 신뢰할 수 있는 출처에 있는 것을 거부하고 매우 공격적이고 빈정거리는 상호와 결합하여 자신의 잘못된 정보를 유지하려 한다는 것이다.액션 스타일이를 "벽에 꽂힌 화살을 찾아 그 주위에 표적을 칠하는 것"이라고 한다.
Wtshymanski의 잘못은 아니지만, 관리자들이 이러한 행동을 다루기 어렵게 만드는 몇 가지 관련 문제들이 있다.첫째, 이러한 문제들은 공학적인 문제들이며, 많은 관리자들은 콘텐츠 분쟁을 완전히 이해할 수 있는 공학적인 배경을 가지고 있지 않다.둘째로, Wtshymanski의 반대자들은 대개 새로운 위키백과 편집자들이다.그들은 공학을 이해할지 모르지만(아니면 -- 우리는 프린지 클레임에서 우리의 몫을 얻지는 못한다) 그들은 위키백과 정책을 확실히 이해하지 못하고 종종 어딘가에 있는 블로그의 댓글 섹션에 있는 것처럼 반응한다.내 생각에, 이 많은 신입 편집자들은 Wtshymanski와 엉킨 후 혐오감을 느끼며 떠나지 않는다면 매우 생산적인 편집자로 성장할 수 있을 것이다.그리고 마지막으로 비공식적인 "그는 많은 일을 잘해서 그가 잘못된 행동을 할 때 우리는 기꺼이 다른 쪽을 보려고 한다"는 효과가 있다.
PS: 내 생각에 이것은 순수한 콘텐츠 논쟁은 아니지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 Wtshymanski는 콘텐츠에 대해 틀렸다.이 PLC 역사가 설명하듯이, PLC가 처음 상업적 생산에 들어갔을 때, 그들은 이해하기 쉽게 만들어졌고, 오늘날 우리가 사다리 로직이라고 부르는 도표와 배선을 중계하는 데 매우 익숙했던 당시의 기술자와 정비 전기 기술자들을 위해 프로그램되었다.실제로 PLC 대신 릴레이를 이용해 사다리 논리 도표를 구현할 수 있다.(이상한 이유로 일본 기업에서는 이것을 옵션으로 제시하고 고객 중 일부는 PLC가 확실히 우위에 있음에도 불구하고 프리미엄을 지불하는 경우도 있다.)또한 이 페이지(PDF)를 참조하십시오("릴레이 논리 비교" 섹션 참조) --Guy Macon (대화) 16:39, 2014년 12월 15일 (UTC)[응답]

비욘더갓"/"하고로모오츠츠츠키"/"공식 리쿠두세닌"/"공식 리쿠두세닌"/다른 사람들처럼 그가 참여한 여러 위키에서 처음 금지된 것은 체계적인 다위키 트롤링 반달리즘, 모욕, 그리고 지속적으로 비합리성을 모욕했기 때문이다.

그는 몇 개의 위키에서 위와 같은 몇 달 동안 위키 스태프들에 의해 영구히 차단되었고, 원래의 배틀돔 위키 이름을 표절하고 여러 커뮤니티에 걸쳐 자신의 소유권에 대해 널리 퍼져 있는 체계적인 거짓말을 한 것(실제 소유주들이 불평할 때 그의 위키백과가 삭제됨), 오랫동안 혐오스러운 동성애 혐오적 비방 글들을 삽입했다.다른 사람의 사용자 페이지에 모욕으로 삽입되고, 위키 커뮤니티 전체와 극단으로 치닫는 단독 편집 전쟁, 그리고 사람들을 성공적으로 트롤하는 방법에 대한 서면 지침, 그리고 그가 끊임없이 "버터트"라고 부르는 그의 절대적이고 가차없는 트롤링으로 인해 감정적으로 상처를 입거나 지쳐가는 사람들에 대한 또 다른 설명으로 나를 욕했다.이름을 붙이다

게다가, 그는 이미 다양한 파워 리스트 위키들을 만들었고, 그들은 서로 다른 프랜차이즈의 팬들을 철저히 괴롭히기 위해 의도적인 부정확한 정보들을 많이 가지고 있는 매우 빈약한 품질을 지속적으로 유지했다.

그의 글로벌 위키 블록 이후, 그는 코믹바인, 스페이스바틀스, 킬러무비, 무비코덱, 그리고 심지어 데비안타르를 포함한 여러 커뮤니티를 계속해서 스팸 발송했다.끊임없이 비욘더에 대해 끊임없이 계속 떠들어대고, 다른 프랜차이즈 업체들을 조직적으로 쾅쾅 때려 총 몇 천 개의 별도 게시물로 팬들에게 상처를 입힌다.

그 역시 끊임없이 자신을 천국에 사는 전지전능한 신이라고 부르지만, 실제로 신 콤플렉스가 있는지, 아니면 그저 사람을 자극하기 위해 그렇게 하는지 모르겠다.

그는 특히 내가 그 프랜차이즈를 사랑한다는 사실 때문에 텐치 무요에게 큰 화풀이를 하고 있으며, 따라서 그는 끊임없이 그 프랜차이즈에 대한 비논리적이고 정보를 알 수 없는 잘못된 정보를 가차없이 공격/슬랜딩/삽입함으로써 나를 해치려고 시도해왔다.

Ima는 당신에게 나의 명확한 허가 없이 이미 가고 있는 것처럼 나의 개인적인 링크들을 삭제해 달라고 요청하고 또한 당신은 내가 당신의 fanfic hentai를 웹에 게시한다면 더 이상 나를 좋아하지 않을 권리도 없다 그래서 다른 사람들에게 그것을 하지 말아라 당신은 또한 이미 그 링크들을 게시한 것에 대해 나의 위키아들을 파괴했다. 그래서 나는 Wikia 직원들에 대해 뭔가를 하도록 했다.너는 지금 개인 영역에 들어가고 있다. 내가 쓸모없는 것처럼 보이는 이 허위 보고서에 대해 나는 지금 너에게 내 이력이나 내 사이트와 다른 링크 근처 어디에도 가지 말라고 요청할 것이다. 지금 멘들리브는 그가 항상 이름에 근거한 사용자라고 생각하고 사람들이 하는 이 허위 보고서에 나를 태그한 것에 대해 감사한다.당신이 많은 위키백과들에게 모욕당한 사람들이 당신의 장애를 가지고 있기 때문에 허구의 캐릭터가 전지전능하고 강박장애를 핑계로 여기 있는 안티바시마는 당신의 장애는 특별하지도 않고 당신의 가정/근거 없는 행동에 대한 실질적인 이유도 아니다. 그래서 다시 한번 부탁한다. 다른 어떤 것에서도 나를 언급하지 말거나 시베에 대한 보고를 시작한다.괴롭힘비욘더(대화) 2014년 12월 17일(UTC)비욘더갓[응답]

나는 가 나를 괴롭혔다는 것을 인정하지 않았다. 네가 나를 괴롭혔기 때문에 너는 2주 전까지만 해도 너 때문에 너에 대해 언급조차 하지 않았잖아! 내 위키아는 마치 우리 모두가 너의 파워 리스트에 오른 위키백과처럼 십자포화를 맞고 있었다. 우리는 네가 적절한 지식도 없이 나를 욕하는 것을 분명히 볼 수 있고, 너는 너를 b라고 생각한다.문법 때문에 아직 문법 때문에 VSBattles/power listing에는 나쁜 문법을 가진 사람들이 있다. 그래서 만약 당신이 나를 어떤 일에서든 언급한다면 다시 보복해야 한다. 그래서 만약 당신이 "Harassed"라고 느끼기 싫다면, 나는 당신 자신을 정의의 희생자가 되게 하지 말아야 한다. 왜냐하면 나는 내 친구들을 심각한 스팸 메일 발송/문제로 인해 위키에서 문제를 일으키지 않도록 해야 했기 때문이다.네가 진지하게 말하는 너의 행동은 정말 짜증나.

  • 당신은 이런 이유 없이 모욕한다."37명으로 시작하는 러시아 IP는 단지 N 아지자르일 뿐이다. 애니메 캐릭터 싸움 위키에 나오는 사람들은 그가 거대한 트롤이라고 내게 말한다."
  • "그리고 그 논평은 당신을 근본적인 공간 기하학에 대한 이해가 없는 트롤로 분류한다.너의 친절한 허튼소리는 아주 사소한 생각의 범위를 넘어서는 어떤 것도 배우거나 이해하는 능력도 없이 영원히 완전히 비논리적인 헛소리야.또한, 나는 그것이 비욘더 신이 아니라 다시 N 아지자르라는 것을 알았다.아니메 캐릭터 싸움에 나오는 대부분의 사람들은 너를 미워하고 너를 비합리적인 바보 트롤로 여기는 것 같아.
  • "높은 차원 자연은 5차원 미스터 맥시즈프틀크의 예시처럼 무한한 스케일과 하차원 현실의 뒤틀림을 자동적으로 가지고 온다.네가 어떻게 생각하든 상관없어.카미 텐치의 전지전능함이 쇼 안에서 노골적으로 드러났다.그는 애니메 캐릭터 싸움 위키에 나와 있는 것처럼 차원적으로 무한하고, 절대적으로 무한하다.헥! 츄신도 그럴 것 같다.그리고 그렇다, 그들은 여전히 무한대의 우주를 창조했다고 분명히 말해왔다.(비욘더갓을 미행하는 겁니까?)"
  • 그는 "비욘더신에 대해 아무것도 모르는 캐릭터에 대한 집착은 그만하고, 자신의 모든 존재에 전혀 관심이 없는 사람을 스토킹하는 일은 그만둬야 한다"고 덧붙였다.

스캔과 공식 정보원이 내게 비욘더를 타고 다닌다고 하면 안 되는 시리즈에 대해 네가 정말 똑똑하다고 믿는 거야?.......내가 화난건 아닌데도 넌 사람들을 놀려서 너 같은 사람들을 놀리는 거야. 그래서 내가 너를 모욕한 거야. 왜냐하면 네가 하는 모든 일이 너처럼 그 사람 얘기만 하기 때문이야.나 같은 사람들이 그가 아니라고 믿는 것은 그래서 논쟁거리가 되는 것이다!당신이 질 때 당신은 멈춰서 행정관에게 울지 말고 토론하는 법을 배울 필요가 있다. N Agizar는 텐치 무요의 모순에 대해 옳다. 그리고 당신은 그가 트로울러였다고 직설적으로 말하는 것은 그가 누군가를 화나게 한다는 것을 의미한다. 당신은 다른 사람들 때문에 심각하게 트롤을 가정하고 있었다. 당신이 돌봐야 할 심각한 문제가 있다.왜냐하면 당신은 이유 없이 그를 모욕하고 나서 나와 내 사이트에 대해 이야기를 계속하기 때문이다.FBO는 많은 사용자들에 의해 확인되었고 만약 당신이 나에 대해 계속 이야기할 수 있고 내가 당신을 좋아하지 않기 때문에 내 친구들은 당신에 대해 밈/계정을 만들 수 있다. 당신은 내가 아니라 내 친구들로부터 괴롭힘을 당할 수 있다. 당신이 선택한 친구에 의해서 다시 한번 확실한 요청을 하게 한다.

5개월 이상이나 당신은 내가 완전히 정신적으로 지칠 정도로 심하게 변했고, 며칠 연속으로 12시간 이상 계속해서 당신에게 답장을 해야 했고, 잠을 제대로 잘 수 없고, 그렇게 계속하여 나를 극단으로 자극했다는 것을 알고 있을 것이다.그것이 내 삶의 질을 완전히 파괴하고 있다는 것을 지적한다. 그래서 나는 진정으로 너를 내가 16년 동안 온라인에서 만난 사람 중에서 가장 다루기 어려운 사람으로 찾았다.내가 너에 대해 그렇게 반응한 것은 기억나지 않지만, 만약 내가 어느 시점엔가 너의 익살스런 행동을 계속하는 나의 신랄한 욕구불만으로 인해 머리카락이 휘몰아치는 것 같았지만, 트롤 심리학에 대해 읽은 내용과 합쳐져, 나는 만약 사실이라면 그것은 선을 넘었고, 그런 예에 대해 사과한다.
하지만, 그 대가로 나는 제발 나를 영원히 괴롭히지 말고, 내가 방문하는 곳에서는 나를 평화롭게 내버려두며, 인터넷상의 여러 곳에 나에 대한 혐오스러운 동성애 혐오적인 비방글을 올리지 말며, 협박을 그만하고, 협박을 훨씬 덜 하고, 그리고 가급적이면 당신 또한 끊임없이 그만두기를 부탁하고 싶다.내가 깊이 아끼는 프랜차이즈, 특히 텐치 무요를 집요하게 공격한다.그 대신 다른 사용자들이 끊임없이 나에게 주제를 꺼내고 있음에도 불구하고 나는 더 이상 너를 언급하지 않을 수 있도록 최선을 다할 것이고, 이전보다 더 너를 피하겠다.하지만, 나는 당신의 끊임없는 도발 스레드에 대응하기 위해 당신이 현재 게시하고 있는 어떤 포럼에도 당신을 따라가지 않았다는 것을 유의해야 한다.넌 국제 금지를 명백히 위반하면서 VsBattles wiki에서 나를 계속 쫓아다녔어.그냥 나와 텐치 무요(그리고 당신이 끊임없이 도발하는 다른 재산의 모든 팬들)를 그냥 내버려둬, 내가 바라는 것은 그것뿐이다.적어도 수백개의 사례에 대해 끊임없이 내 삶을 끔찍하게 만든 것에 대한 사과도 상처를 주지는 않겠지만, 꼭 필요한 것은 아니다.데이비드 A (토크) 2014년 12월 18일 (UTC) 19:21[응답]

아니, 디프피를 유지하는 것은 전체 페이지를 그 당시와 같이 유지하는 것, 즉 외출이 포함된 것을 의미한다.아마도 페이지를 제거했지만 디프만은 유지하는 어떤 방법이 만들어질 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 그것은 현재 사용할 수 없다.그것은 또한 rev-deleling과 overswalling을 훨씬 더 무겁게 만들 것이다. 왜냐하면 사람들은 제거해야 할 텍스트가 단지 마지막을 찍고 중간에 모든 것을 제거하는 대신에 모든 다른 부분들과 함께 확인해야 하기 때문이다.프람 (토크) 08:02, 2014년 12월 17일 (UTC)[응답]

이는 법적 위협이 아니라 비기야니를 향한 것으로 보아 "경찰에 가서 당신을 고소하라"는 협박이다.굳이 신고할 생각은 없지만, 비냐니와 나 둘 다 그의 협박을 철회하라고 부추긴 후 프리예선딕싯은 되풀이했다.아슈토시(정신적 지도자)토크 페이지를 보라.지도방 (대화) 23:20, 2014년 12월 17일 (UTC)[응답]

사실 그것은 법적인 위협이 될 것이다.프리예선딕스는 먼저 비기야니에게 프리예선딕스의 말이 거짓이라면 "경찰에 가보라"고 도전한 뒤 "그 자신도 경찰에 가겠다"면서 "편파적인 [sic], [sic], [혐오] 기사를 모독했다는 이유로 경찰에 고소하겠다"고 제안했다.다른 편집자를 억압하는 데 사용되는 고전적인 NLT 스타일의 언어.—/Mendaliv///Δ's 23:34, 2014년 12월 17일 (UTC)[응답]
(갈등 편집) 또 다른 행정관은 다르게 느낄지도 모르지만, 법적인 위협을 이유로 이 사람을 막는다는 것은 참다랑어를 사용해서 파리떼를 휘두르는 것이 될 것이다. 그래서 말대꾸하지 말라고 가르칠 수 있을 것이다.이론적으로는 일종의 법적 위협이라고 생각하지만, 비기야니, 정말 신경을 쓰니?너는 그것 때문에 춥다고 느끼니?비쇼넨 대담 23:38, 2014년 12월 17일 (UTC)[답답하다]
나도 동의해.나는 프리예선딕싯의 원리로 보이는 비냐니를 대변할 수는 없지만, 깃털로 맞느니 차라리 프리예선딕싯이 나를 경찰에 신고하게 하고 싶다.그러나 나는 누군가가 프리예스니딕스를 설득하여 위협하기보다는 접근 가능한 출처를 가지고 반보호 기사에 그가 원하는 변화를 명시하도록 설득하고 싶다.Vigyani와 나는 이미 노력했다.지도방 (대화) 23:51, 2014년 12월 17일 (UTC)[응답]
맵룸 고마워.신규 사용자에 의한 법적 위협은 인도 관련 기사에서 매우 흔하다.그리고 이 경우에는 아슈토쉬라는 주제에 대한 프리예슨딕스의 일탈적인 정서에 의해 일이 꼬이게 된다.보통 그런 경우에는 두세 번 정중하게 협박을 철회해 달라고 부탁한다.그들 자신도 이러한 위협을 심각하게 받아들이지 않고 있으며, WP가 어떻게 작동하는지 이해하지 못하고 있다.다른 더 쉬운 치료법이 있다.이 경우, 나는 그들이 위협을 제거할 때까지 그들의 편집 요청을 거절했다. 어떻게 진행되는지 보자.이들의 편집 요청에 대해서는 대부분 기사에 이미 나와 있다.그들은 그들이 원하는 변경에 대해 하나의 법원 명령을 인용했지만, 나는 그 링크에 접근할 수 없었다.--Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 00:48, 2014년 12월 18일 (UTC)[응답]

분명히 WP:NOTHER HERE

몇몇 편집자들이 이 토론에 참여했고, 이전의 인신공격과 비난에도 불구하고, Darreg는 이후 논평에 대한 논평으로 돌아가지 않았고 기사는 삭제되었다.어제 다레그는 기사와 토크 페이지(이후 G4에 따라 기사가 삭제됨)를 모두 재창작하고 토크 페이지를 인신공격과 욕설로 가득 채웠다.내가 그렇게까지 신경 쓰지 않는 불경스러움(가능한 한 불쾌하게 설계되어 있는 것이 분명하지만) 그러나 인신공격은 이것이 백과사전을 짓기 위해 분명히 여기 있는 사람이 아니라는 것을 암시한다.나와 위키리콜로지 둘 다에 대한 명백한 인신공격들이 있다.

그리고 나서 그가 다시 기사를 삭제한 후, 철학자의 토크 페이지에는 이것이 있었고 이것은 그의 인신공격에 대해 그가 24시간 블록을 보고 있다는 것을 암시한다.분명히 더 많은 걸 제안하는 거야무기한...그것보다 더.

이 사람은 비사과적으로 동성애 혐오증이 있는 사람인데, 그가 인간적으로 가능한 한 반향 없이 공격적일 수 있다는 것을 보여주려는 의도가 있는 것 같다.그가 틀렸다는 것을 증명해 주시오.Stlwart111 23:10, 2014년 12월 18일 (UTC)[응답]

  • 의견: – 내가 이것에 대해 조언을 받았기 때문에, Darreg는 그들이 백과사전을 짓기 위해 여기 온 것이 아니라는 것을 지역사회에 분명히 증명했다는 사실부터 시작해보자.편집자는 더 이상 프로젝트(위키피디아)에 대한 관심이 없다는 것을 보여주었기 때문에, 나쁜 상황이 최악이 되기 전에 빨리 행동할 필요가 있다.그러나 Autopatrolled 플래그가 있는 편집자가 의도적으로 WP를 위반할 수 있다는 것은 실망스러운 일이다.CSD#G4, 삭제 검토 과정(더 이상 위키백과 정책이 그들에게 중요하지 않다는 의미)을 무시한 채 AfD(그가 참여한 디스커버리)에서 합의에 따라 이전에 삭제된 기사를 재작성한다.이러한 파괴적인 행동은 그들의 기사 자동작성 특권을 빠르게 철회해야 한다는 것을 분명히 시사했다. 왜냐하면 그 권리는 핵심 위키백과 정책을 명확하게 이해하고 존중하는 편집자들을 위해 고안되었기 때문이다. 다레그는 그들이 만든 기사들의 수와 상관없이 분명히 부족함을 증명해 왔다.솔직히 말하면 나는 그들이 이 깃발을 부여받은 이후 그들이 만든 모든 글에 대해 더 이상 자신이 없다(적절한 견제가 필요할 수도 있다).예를 들어, 그들이 최근에 만든 기사는 필모그래피 섹션에 약 4~5편의 영화가 수록된 단 한 문장에 불과하다.주제가 분명히 WP:N을 만난다고 해도 하나의 문장을 기사라고 생각할 수는 없다.이것은 Autopatrol User 그룹의 멤버에게 예상치 못한 것이다.
그들이 고의적으로 파괴적인 행동을 하기 전에 24시간 동안만 차단될 것이라고 재빨리 시사한 것에 대한 차단 정책과 어떠한 행정 조치도 존중하지 않는다는 사실을 계속 말해보겠다.우리는 이 문제에 대해 그들이 틀렸다는 것을 증명할 수 있다. 아마도 위의 스탈와트 제안들에 의해 변명의 여지가 없을 것이다.그들이 백과사전을 짓기 위해 여기 있는 것이 아니기 때문에 여기서 쫓겨난다면 위키피디아는 손해볼 것이 없다는 사실로 결론짓고 싶다.위키슬로지t@lk to M£ 02:30, 2014년 12월 19일 (UTC)[응답]

1) 첫 번째 SPI에서 LB가 차단되었으므로 두 번째 SPI를 개시한다.게다가 에차스테인은 은퇴하기로 되어 있는데, 어디 해로울 게 있나.
2)LB는 이미 과거에 로그아웃을 하면서 '편집'을 했다고 시인했다.참고: LB의 등록 계정은 당시에 폐기되었고 차단되지 않았기 때문에 큰 문제가 되지 않는다.

Opencart 아티클 생성 잠금

안녕, 이런 요청은 특별히 다루는 곳을 못 찾겠으니, 여기서 해 볼게.나는 OpenCart 소프트웨어에 대한 기사를 작성하려고 한다.이 글은 이전에도 여러 번 만들어졌으며, 공신력을 나타내지 않아 삭제되었다.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCart을 참조하십시오.

이 소프트웨어는 전자상거래 세계에서 주목할 만하며 향후 삭제 요청에서도 살아남을 수 있을 것으로 믿는다.그러나 가장 최근에 삭제한 관리자 User:Kww가 레크리에이션 시도를 차단한 것처럼 보여 재현할 수 없다.나는 기사에 있는 창조 블록을 공개해 줄 것을 요청한다.나나 다른 사람들이나 그의 토크 페이지에는 수많은 요청들이 있었지만, 바쁜 업무량 때문인지 행정관이 응답하지 않고 있다.나는 한 명의 관리자가 이런 식으로 기사 작성 과정을 지연시킬 수 없다고 믿는다.그 기사는 지역사회에서 검토되어야 하며 주목할 만하거나 그렇지 않다고 간주되어야 한다.

블록을 해제하기 전에 소프트웨어가 공신력을 증명할 가능성이 있는지 물어보는 것이 타당하다.나는 그 분야를 꽤 잘 알고 있고, OpenCart는 전자상거래 소프트웨어의 가장 주목할 만한 예들 중 하나로서, 많은 기사들보다 훨씬 더 그렇다.나는 이것이 믿을 만한 출처라고 말하는 것이 아니라, 빠른 검색은 OpenCart가 오픈 소스 전자상거래 소프트웨어의 다양한 비계열 목록에 지속적으로 등장한다는 것을 보여준다.예: [75], [76], [77].

OpenCart has also had it's share of controversy. I'm not sure if this is the right link (it's down now - it's Reddit and will hopefully be back soon! - [78] ), but I remember some quite notable criticism, and this should be included in the article as well. But this cannot be started if the article remains locked from creation, so I am requesting that the article be permitted to be created. Greenman (talk) 21:45, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When asked to unsalt the article, I always make the same request: show me a set of reliable sources that examine OpenCart directly and in detail. Not a quick mention on a list or a blog, but reliable sources that examine the topic directly and in detail. When someone produces some such sources, I will unsalt the article. Not before.—Kww(talk) 21:48, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding this time Kww. To add to the lists I found before, the article already exists in 6 languages on Wikipedia: [79]. It is unreasonable for you to presume that you can personally decide when an article is worthy to be created or not. I understand that it has been abused before, but it is a community decision, not yours alone. If quickly Googling returns a list of results that almost all include OpenCart, and by blocking even the first step in creating an article, you are taking upon yourself the sole responsibility to decide and have imposed a far higher standard on this article than for the creation of a regular article. Greenman (talk) 22:04, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you, User:Greenman, create the article in your sandbox and ask User:Kww to review it in your sandbox? However, as Kww says, you need to source it with reliable sources. The title is currently salted because the article was created five times and was not encyclopedic any of those times, and re-creation was blocked to avoid wasting the community's time. Until you create a sandbox draft that passes Wikipedia standards, this request is also a waste of the community's time. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:56, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I will, but I would prefer to work in the spirit of Wikipedia and contribute to an article as part of a community, or contribute to improving an article once it's been created, and would prefer that the community decides on its worth, not a single administrator. The article to me is self-evidently notable, but there is an administrative obstacle to working on the article collaboratively. For example, there was a request to User:Kww by an editor in June where they claimed to have written an objective article, which was not responded to. [80]. Perhaps this could have been a good starting point. Unfortunately the request was never responded to, and the user never contributed their work. Potentially valuable editors should not be chased away because of an administrative decision. The option you propose asks me to single-handedly research and create an article outside of any potential community input, and have it approved by a single administrator, a far higher barrier than for creating a regular article. I strongly feel this is an abuse of process, and a hoop that few other editors will be able to jump through. I don't see any policy that an article that in the past has been abused can only be created if a single administrator decides to permit this, and if there is such a policy would object strongly. Greenman (talk) 22:30, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Greenman, please don't paint this as some kind of thing a single administrator has done. We've had two separate versions of this article go through AFD and two more administrators speedy-delete subsequent versions under G11 and A7. The community has spoken as loudly as the community ever does on such things. I prevented it from being recreated specifically and intentionally to prevent it from showing up again until someone could produce a draft of an acceptable article. If you want there to be such an article, create such a draft using acceptable sources.—Kww(talk) 22:38, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The community has loudly spoken up about previous versions of the article saying that those versions gave no indication of notability. I understand your reasons User:Kww, but am saying that intentionally preventing an article from ever appearing again unless you personally are satisfied is not policy, nor is it reasonable to expect an editor to navigate these hoops before contributing to a future article. Most editors would not find this page (or even easily know to request on your page), and in at least one case in the past when you didn't respond, simply left. Perhaps the editor in June did have a satisfactory article. You were maybe too busy to respond at the time, but it is unreasonable to require you to do so each time before an article can be created. Greenman (talk) 23:00, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Based on [81], I did reply, and the requestor came back with a vague and unsatisfactory complaint. In February, I told you that you didn't have any suitable sources. Today, I've told you that you don't have any suitable sources. I'll say it again if it makes it more apparent that I'm listening: you don't have any suitable sources. When you have suitable sources, feel free to come back with a draft article that incorporates them. So long as you don't have suitable sources, there's no reason to unsalt the article.—Kww(talk) 23:17, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Edit it here: Draft:OpenCart. Once it's sourced adequately Kww or any other admin can move it into mainspace. NE Ent 23:37, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Have to agree with NE Ent and others here. I don't see any good reason why the article can't be worked on in the Draft space or a sandbox. There's nothing stopping you "contribute to an article as part of a community" or "contribute to improving an article once it's been created" in the draft space and this isn't something extremely unusual. Nil Einne (talk) 01:43, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll weigh in here on some of the statements made here. I'd love to say that in a perfect Wikipedia society an unsourced article would be edited and sourced moments after its creation, but unfortunately the process here is far from perfect. The onus is on the article creator to provide sources to establish notability from the moment the article is posted in the mainspace. You should always assume that your hands and eyes will be the only ones that will potentially show notability for whatever article you create- don't assume or expect other editors to come in and supply sources or to rescue the article before they nominate it for deletion. Ideally yes, editors should try to find coverage in reliable sources, but I can personally state that this does not always happen for various reasons- maybe they couldn't find sources, maybe they didn't look enough, or perhaps sources just didn't exist that would pass WP:RS. (Mind you, I am not stating that WP:BEFORE wasn't followed in this instance nor am I endorsing notability for the article, this is just a general statement.) I honestly do wish that this didn't happen, but this is something I've learned through my own experiences on Wikipedia. Arguing that an article should be made, that someone else will add the sources, and ultimately saying that you don't really want to do the work just aren't good arguments for inclusion. I know that searching for sources and writing out an article is a meticulous, time consuming process- believe me, you don't know how many times I've combed through the Internet looking for things for various articles, only to find that I've wasted hours of time on something that fails notability guidelines. It's not a pleasant experience in many circumstances. But it has to be done and you just can't expect others to do the work for you because quite honestly, if nobody did this the first five times that the article was created (assuming that nobody searched for sources, which is likely not the case here) then odds are that they won't do it on the sixth or seventh time something was created. If you really want to ensure that something is done, you have to do it yourself. Some will try to help and meet you half way, but in 99% of the time you'll have to do the work yourself. (Although I certainly understand the frustration with AfC.) That's the long and short of it. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:28, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I know that this sounds cold and maybe even a bit condescending, but this is something I've learned the hard way. I've had several instances where I've asked people for help in finding sources... and got no help whatsoever. There are people on here that will respond to requests and are more than happy to help, but there are also a lot of people who won't. I've just learned that when it comes to showing notability for articles I create or edit, it's up to me to do the leg work and to create the article. That's actually the whole reason I joined Wikipedia- I got tired of waiting for people to create or update pages and I realized that if I didn't do it, odds are that others wouldn't either.

Chris Alexander redux

This may be jumping the gun slightly, but I'm going on past events here. Long story short, last year there was a kerfuffle surrounding the Chris Alexander (editor) article. It had been nominated for deletion and Alexander himself came on to the articles for deletion talk page and accused one of the nominating editor of being someone that has been going around to various pages and trying to make his life miserable. The AfD ended as no consensus, partially because I had been able to find sources to show notability. Soon after someone came on to the page and began removing content from the article, including removing Alexander's bibliography and filmography. It was pretty clearly done in order to make him look as non-notable as possible and similar edits were made to Blood for Irina ([82], [83] these are a few examples, there are more blankings on both pages). Eventually it required a non-involved admin to step in and semi-protect the page until February 2014. I also want to note that there were attempts to merge the page into the larger page for Fangoria and on more than a few occasions I've been accused of being a friend or family member of Alexander's.

A few months after that expired, IPs came back into the page and began pulling the same shenanigans, removing information and adding a controversy section about a review Alexander wrote for one of his films under a pseudonym. I'd cleaned it up somewhat and changed it to a briefer mention, but this was contested on the talk page. NinjaRobotPirate got involved and eventually Alexander himself came on to the page to defend himself, saying that this was a well known pseudonym of his and that the name of the pseudonym (Ben Cortman) was a tip of the hat to it being Alexander himself. Eventually it was decided that including the bit about the pseudonym was a BLP issue since largely nobody cared about it enough to write about it and as such we have to go by what Alexander said: it was apparently known that the review was written by himself. However despite this, the page got edit warred to where the page got re-protected several times and some of the accounts were blocked.

So what has happened now is that recently an IP asked if it was possible to create a page for the sequel. I was a little concerned over the light coverage, but decided to create the page with the intentions to redirect it to the main article. I found a mini review from NOWToronto, which kind of made me feel like it barely squeaked by notability guidelines for films enough to warrant a mainspace article- but I did stress that I'd be fine with it redirecting to the main article for the first film if there were any serious issues with it (ie, it going to AfD). Now an IP has come to the page and looks to be the same editor that came onto the Alexander article.

From what I can see, all of this is mostly the act of a blogger that really doesn't like Alexander at all, Dave Pace. (He openly identified as such at the Alexander page.) I did try to give him the benefit of the doubt with the stuff on the Alexander article, but I'm pretty much forced to acknowledge that he's essentially trying to use Wikipedia as an outlet to harm Alexander's credibility and career. I'm not posting here to get backup for the Queen of Blood article's notability- I honestly have no problem with it getting redirected to Blood for Irina. However I can pretty much easily state that this will end up much like the Alexander article and will need a few good editors to come in and try to run interference. Since the whole Alexander thing ended with some account blocks (for edit warring and as possible socks), I'm somewhat afraid that this will become necessary here, especially since the IP in question was previously blocked as well. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:00, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say it's a issue that can be watched. If Dave does something on the article again that suggests his point of view again, i'd suggest a Topic ban. He has too much of a Non-neutral point of view to contribute to the article in my opinion. LorHo ho ho 07:21, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd have no problem with a topic ban, assuming that he would agree to this. My biggest concern is that he'd log on with a different IP or create an account to try to get around this. There are a few SPA type accounts that have made me slightly concerned about sockpuppetry, although those were never pursued. I suppose I should probably tag them so they're mentioned in this ANI in case they are Pace or maybe even if they aren't, since they were pretty much editing with a similar modus operandi. The accounts in question are User:Cthwikia and User:Bud Cortman. Bud Cortman hasn't edited since July, but Cthwikia has made an awful lot of Fangoria and Alexander related edits, plus they've made similar COI accusations on their talk page, accusing NPR of having a COI with Fearnet. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:33, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, there've been a couple accusations thrown my way, none of which I treated seriously. User talk:NinjaRobotPirate#Chris Alexander resulted from me requesting temporary semi-protection on Chris Alexander's bio after another edit war broke out between what I assume is Dave and Chris. Very few other people on the planet seem to care about this mess. I think that it's prudent to view any new accounts who take part in the conflict with a degree of suspicion, especially when they reference Dave's blog as a citation. If they were both posting as logged-in users, I'd say that an interaction ban and topic ban would be appropriate. But I don't know how useful such would be in this case, since both seem to primarily contribute as IP editors. I think Bud Cortman and Cthwikia both ran afoul of the duck test, but neither has been especially disruptive beyond the usual POV edits associated with this drama. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:14, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now the IP is saying that I deliberately brought it to ANI because the page is protected and he couldn't post his side of the story here. He's also saying that he's not Pace and maybe he isn't, but the IP does have a similar edit style and also tends to make similar arguments of various people being associated with this or that person. If he isn't Pace then there would probably still be a benefit in making a wider topic ban for this IP as well because of how very similar the Alexander related edits and arguments have been. NinjaRobotPirate, do you think that I should make an SPI in this case to see if the accounts are linked in some way? Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:37, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Since each has denied any sock puppetry, yeah. They all have a rather brief list of contributions, so it's not hard to spot the same patterns in each account. If no uninvolved admins want to block based on WP:DUCK, then I guess SPI would be the best course of action. I wouldn't bother requesting a checkuser. Bud Cortman (talk · contribs) is stale.

I agree. Sounds more like something for List of lost television broadcasts too. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:06, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User 117Avenue persistent vandalism

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

User:117Avenue has been persistently flagging Smooth_Island_(Ontario) and Smooth_Island_(South_Australia) for deletion.

While I admit the pages are currently stubs, appropriate references have nevertheless been supplied to justify keeping the pages listed.

The editor made no effort to discuss the issue of deleting the articles with me in advance. Instead he insists on keeping the Request for Deletion banner listed on the pages.

The editor has still made no effort to discuss the matter with me, and instead has resorted to using a bot (Cyberbot 1) to keep the RFD notice listed.

These two geographical sites are legitimate and are a work in progress. They are not legitimate RFD candidates.

117Avenue needs to stop being so ruthless, discourteous and hasty with his edits, particularly RFD notices.

It makes it less appealing for volunteers like me to build pages with sophisticated content when he flags my pages for deletion just as I'm researching the topics further about to add more content.

117Avenue's behaviour needs to stop, or his administrative privileges need to be revoked. His behaviour goes against the general etiquette I've experienced from all other editors on Wikipedia. Jkokavec (talk) 05:27, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jkokavec: The articles have been nominated for deletion—in good faith, as far as I can tell—by 117Avenue. (Even if the nomination was quick, it doesn't mean it was bad faith.) Per WP:Articles for deletion, the headers need to remain at the top of the article until the deletion discussions conclude. This alerts all editors to the ongoing deletion discussion, so they can weigh in on whether they think that, per WP policy, the articles should be kept or deleted.
As a result, it is inappropriate for you to remove the AfD banners, as you have done.[84][85] to two articles. —C.Fred (talk) 05:31, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update:

At the very least, the individual who posted the blackmail to my user talk page must be chastised, as I'm simply following the ANI instructions. This behaviour must be dealt with.Jkokavec (talk) 05:38, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What blackmail? It was a reasonable suggestion that you should file the ANI report before posting the notification (and then post the notification to the user's talk page, not their user page). —C.Fred (talk) 05:40, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jkokavec: you were notified that removing AFD notifications was wrong, before you persisted to remove them again. 117Avenue (talk) 05:47, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]


I am being told that if I include a link to Smooth Island (Ontario) at Smooth_Island I could be blocked from wikipedia without warning. How in the world is it "disruptive editing" to make the article more comprehensive. The only distruptive editing is coming from 117Avenue. I was happily working on these articles, trying to enrich the content before he decided to step in, disrupt the constructive work I've been doing, and abuse his power.

Several of my co-contributors will be watching very carefully how much support we get from moderators here.

It certainly appears to all of us that 117Avenue is just being disruptive and obstructing our efforts to write high quality articles for Wikipedia.Jkokavec (talk) 05:52, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, nothing about this or this immediately strikes me as disruptive editing (although the latter one is an error on your part, since you put the notice on their user page instead of their talk page). But you've also been repeatedly removing the deletion notice from Smooth Island (Ontario) while deletion discussions were underway, which is not allowed; you shouldn't do that. --Aquillion (talk) 07:05, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:Jkokavec, I'd like to suggest that you give up on this witch hunt for tonight before it escalates any further with your being blocked. Just abide by the warnings you've been given and if you disagree with the AfD nominations, post your opinions there. Debate the content. Do not hide behind negative claims against other editors. Stop editing for the day. Come back refreshed tomorrow. Take the advice of others here and read up on the definition of vandalism.
Moreover I'd have to seriously suggest you not passively threaten the admins. (Non-administrator comment) Tstorm(talk) 07:15, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are implying it's ok for User:117Avenue to threaten me with an ANI but, if visa versa, I become threatened with being blocked. This is nothing short of Authoritarianism.

I want others to realise that the comments under the heading of 'December 2014' User_talk:Jkokavec amount to blackmail and that User:117Avenue must be reprimanded for his/her behaviour. Blocking me for trying to bring awareness to the misdemeanours of this user will only make the matter worse.

I'd like a formal response from the management committee of Wikipedia about this matter, please.Jkokavec (talk) 07:35, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stop removing AfD tags from the articles. Debate the deletion in an appropriate forum, with reference to relevant policy. This matter does not merit further attention as long as you follow proper procedure. —Dark 07:41, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The issue at hand is not the AfD tag deletion. The issue is that User:117Avenue aka User:Chris_troutman responded with blackmail. A formal response to this users behaviour by Wikipedia management is required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkokavec (talkcontribs) 08:10, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Warning you is not blackmail. I suggest you drop the issue. —Dark 09:06, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I advised him that I was making a ANI (as per the guidelines), and he responded by threatening me with 'blocking'. This is blackmail. I will not let this matter rest until a qualified member of management mediates here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkokavec (talkcontribs) 09:12, 21 December 2014 (UTC)Jkokavec (talk) 09:12, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As you do not seem to understand subtlety, I'll make it very simple. If you do not drop the issue and keep up your current activities, by alleging that the editors are blackmailing you and advocating for sanctions against them, then I will block you for disruption. I've already told you that your allegations are not actionable. I suggest you listen. —Dark 09:24, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What position do you hold in the Wikipedia management structure, User:DarkFalls? There are a number of comments above which indicate a consensus has not been reached.

Disruptive tagging by Redban

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Redban (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Hi all,

Redban has recently been going on a mass-tagging spree of pornbios, without properly evaluating the notablilty in question (including [91][92][93][94]. This type of tagging appears to be this accounts only type of edits, so I smell a WP:DUCK here as well. Further insight into this, however, will probably be beneficial. --Mdann52talk to me! 16:41, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The user is actually tagging the articles in a retaliatory manner. See this comment by the user: "Either this page remains or you remove 99% of the pornstar biographies on Wikipedia". Nymf (talk) 18:00, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow ... well, as I said in the talk page, I didn't know that "tags" could be disruptive. I thought I was simply alerting to the community to a page's possible flaws. As for the Afd's, the only ones complaining are the same three or four people who, I presume, are extremely protective of Wikiporn pages (such as Caverrone, Rebecca1990, Guy1890). Like the tags, I didn't see how these Afd's could be disruptive because the community makes the decision to delete an article, not I. I simply start the discussion; the others give the verdict. Lastly, the admins must acknowledge that these complainers will quickly cite Rod Fontana and Gracie Glam's Afd but never acknowledge these, or rarely offer an honest Delete or Keep opinion on them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lanny_Barby https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sky_Lopez_(2nd_nomination) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Memphis_Monroe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Shyla_Stylez https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nikki_Nova https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jessica_Jaymes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tory_Lane_(2nd_nomination) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Angelina_Valentine

The truth is that the same people complaining about me are the same people who never support any pornstar deletion, however obvious. I see no reason to be draconian for the sake of a few unhealthily avid porn fans on Wikipedia. They are not complaining of disruption; they are complaining about losing their beloved porn pages. I'll also note that I already gave my word on my talk page that I won't make another Afd until the ones currently open close. At least give a new user some leeway. As for the point about my contributions to Wikipedia, often I forget to log in, so these are also my work here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/108.41.160.197&offset=&limit=500&target=108.41.160.197 Redban (talk) 19:09, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The same people complaining about me are the same people who never support any pornstar deletion, however obvious" is obviously inaccurate and calling me "avid porn fan" smells of personal attack as well. I started many deletion discussions about pornographic actors (eg [95], [96], [97], [98], [99]) and voted to delete dozens of them; when I voted to keep them I was very, very rarely contradicted by the close. Your disruptive AfDs include votes by User:Morbidthoughts and User:Milowent, your tagging was reverted also by User:Nymf, User:Qed237 and User:Avono, two AfDs were speedy closed (and later reverted) by User:Dusti as disruptive, this topic was opened from User:Mdann52. You were warned in your talk page by multiple editors. I am active on a large number of fields, particularly cinema, music and comics, very rarely edit adult-related contents. You are virtually only active on pornography-related articles (excluding some insignificant copyedits on Wrestling articles). If you are trying to depict your disruption as a good-faith editor harassed by "avid porn fans" you are for tough times. The only avid porn fan are you as it is obvious reading your comments in Bitoni's AfD. Cavarrone 19:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion for all -- If you disagree with the taggings and Afds, then simply discuss them on the particular page (Afds) or Talk page (tags). I see no reason for a complaint like this for something as consultative as Afds and tags. I sincerely believe that this complaint, as well as the baseless but repeated "disruptive" and "pointy" insults directed at me, have the sole purpose of protecting the pornstar pages, not preserving Wikipedia's peace or integrity. Again, this topic has no merit. Redban (talk) 20:24, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redban, indiscriminately and randomly tagging for notability dozens of articles, within a 30 second timerate, almost always without any edit summary is disruptive and pointy, sorry if you don't like the terms. When I asked you about three specific templates in Riley Steele, Kayden Kross and Lorelei Lee articles I received no specific response (and I asked you about Lee twice, and I am still waiting). When I pointed on how inaccurate was a deletion rationale by you, and I also provided several sources in support of the notability of a discussed subject [100], your answer was a complete joke, if not offensive trolling [101]. Here there is a pattern of disruptiveness, that's why we are here to discuss about your behaviour. You are clearly WP:NOTHERE. Cavarrone 20:42, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So origionally, I have also raised this report at AN3. However, after looking at it, it also appears that there are wider issues than just the original taggings. Qed237 and Hullaballoo Wolfowitz have also been edit warring over the tags, without any discussion. Following me reporting him, HW has said my report there was incompetent, harassing him and should be sanctioned for raising it. Therefore, I'm referring it here for further insight. --Mdann52talk to me! 19:18, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, Mdann52 brought a 3RR report citing 2 pairs of reverts on different articles, made no effort to discuss the matter with me before filing the 3RR notice, and ignored the fact that I had opened discussion of the substantive issues in three different places. That Mdann52 repeats their false claim that I did not engage in discussion underlines why I believe some sanction is appropriate.

I'm really wondering why Redban hasn't been blocked already. This has been going on for almost a week. If a user did this to articles on mainstream actors, they would have been blocked already. It's funny how Redban went from believing that Audrey Bitoni (a porn star who fails WP:PORNBIO & WP:GNG) was notable enough for a Wikipedia article, to asking that we delete articles on porn stars who do pass PORNBIO and/or GNG because in his opinion, they aren't notable. This sudden change of mind occurred within a few days. Redban has absolutely no concern for enforcing notability guidelines, he is just disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point. He stated "Either this page remains or you remove 99% of the pornstar biographies on Wikipedia" in Bitoni's AfD. Most of his additions of notability tags to articles have been reverted because the subject passed PORNBIO and/or GNG. Most of the AfD's he has started have a consensus leaning towards "keep" with a couple having several "Speedy keep" votes because of how obvious it is that the subject is notable. We've had several discussions with Redban on the AfD's he's started, his talk page, the notability guidelines talk page, etc. where he continues to dispute the consensuses in favor of our current notability guidelines and the consensus in favor of keeping the articles on individuals who pass these guidelines. Redban's defense ("I didn't see how these Afd's could be disruptive because the community makes the decision to delete an article, not I. I simply start the discussion; the others give the verdict") is flawed. We don't initiate deletion discussions for every single page that is created, just those that don't appear to meet our notability guidelines. His defense for tagging articles is "I didn't know that "tags" could be disruptive. I thought I was simply alerting to the community to a page's possible flaws." First of all, most of the pages Redban has added notability tags to have no flaws, secondly, he's been warned about these tags by several users and most of his notability tag additions have been reverted and he still claims that he doesn't know that adding these tags is disruptive. Gracie Glam is among the most notable porn stars he has started an AfD for. In Audrey Bitoni's AfD, he voted keep and argued that her 134,000 Twitter followers demonstrated notability and compared this to Gracie Glam's 91,000 Twitter followers. Why did he choose Glam? Because he knows that Glam is a notable porn star, if he didn't know this he wouldn't have chosen her to make this comparison. He also argued that Bitoni's AVN Best New Starlet NOMINATION was evidence of notability, but he somehow thinks that it isn't evidence of notability for Glam, who actually WON that very same award. He is clearly aware of how notable the subjects of the articles he is trying to delete are. He is presumably a fan of Audrey Bitoni and he is upset that her article was deleted, so he now wants all articles on porn stars he isn't a fan of to be deleted as well, particularly males which he thinks "should be held to a higher standard than the females". He doesn't agree with the direction Rod Fontana's AfD is headed in, so he now wants to get AVN Hall of Fame inductions removed from PORNBIO and have all of its recipients articles deleted. An induction into the AVN Hall of Fame is among the most prestigious accolades in the porn industry and there is absolutely no controversy whatsoever over its significance. No one besides Redban has suggested we remove it from PORNBIO, in fact, everyone who responded to him on Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) opposes his views on the Hall of Fame criteria, but he continues to insist that we remove it anyways. Redban should be blocked immediately. Just look at all the warnings on his talk page; we've given him many chances to rectify his behavior but he refuses to stop. Rebecca1990 (talk) 02:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • This complaint is misbegotten and inaccurate. Redban's tagging was prolific and sometimes inaccurate, but the claim that it was indiscriminate is unfounded. While a few tags are quite wrongheaded, the great majority are clearly appropriate and should not have been removed summarily. For example, Mdann52 gives four examples of supposedly inappropriate tagging:
  1. Sandra Romain There is a solid argument that the subject is not notable. All of the listed awards are "scene" awards, which per WP:PORNBIO #1 do not count towards notability. The biographical content in the article is fairly slight, and the references are not clearly independent and reliable. Ref 7, for example, is a PR piece promoting a trade show appearance. The tagging is clearly reasonable.
  2. Sophia_Rossi Rossi has no claim to notability under PORNBIO. No awards, no nominations, an unbilled role as an unnamed movie character, and an undescribed role in a single TV episode. A clear fail. The news item is quite trivial, and does not approach what the GNG requires. The tagging is clearly reasonable.
  3. Lorelei Lee (pornographic actress) The subject has no awards, only nominations, and is a poor fit for the standard PORNBIO criteria. However, the cited extensive coverage and mainstream film involvement leaves little reason to doubt she satisfies the GNG. The tagging is inappropriate.
  4. Juelz Ventura The subject has no individual awards, only nominations and scene awards, no mainstream credits, and no independent reliable sourcing or biographical content The subject therefore apparentlyy fails PORNBIO and the GNG. The tagging is clearly reasonable.

Rather than cherry-picking the small number of bad tags out of a very large set, I've reviewed the full set of nearly 100 tags. By my reckoning, more than 70 are clearly reasonable, perhaps a dozen are arguable, and about a half dozen look to be wrong. (See User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz/Redban tags for details. Reviewing the full set also demonstrates that the tagging was not indiscriminate, but was done with considerable care. The majority of the articles tagged covered porn performers who had no individual awards, only scene awards or nominations, which do not count under PORNBIO. Some others asserted only non-notable awards from non-notable award-givers (eg, NightMoves), which fail the well known/significant test in PORNBIO. A few others asserted individual awards in ersatz categories like "Dirtiest Girl in Porn", "Best Butt", "Orgasmic Analist", "Unsung Siren", and "Superslut", which have been viewed skeptically in PORNBIO discussions and which do not likely establish notability. A few of the tagged articles list appropriate individual awards, but are so deficient in providing independent that it is quite reasonable to question whether GNG failure should trump technical SNG satisfaction. Some tags look wrong to me, some are debatable, but the great majority are consistent with practice regarding such tags. By my rough calculations, about 80% are OK, 13* raise questions, and 7% are wrong. That's a pretty good track record, and pretty solidly establishes that Redcap's actions were not indiscriminate or disruptive.

In contrast, one of the most vocal complainants/detaggers, User:Rebecca1990 always !votes keep in porn-related AFDs. Per the Scottywong AFD tool (discounting one spurious !vote), lining up with consensus only about 30% of the time (35% if no consensus outcomes are excluded, roughly 50% if NC is equated to keep). That's no better than a coin flip, and can fairly be described as indiscriminate. Another perpetual keep-!voter, User:Subtropical-man, lines up with consensus only 20% of the time, barely 30% if NC is equated to keep. That's really indiscriminate. If Redcap is going to be blocked, these two have been far more disruptive and have earned much stronger sanctions. Funny, isn't it, that nobody's proposing that.

Really, that's not supposed to be how Wikipedis works. Editors are allowed to make mistakes or express unconventional opinions. (Unless one of the petty martinets in the admin corps gets involved, but that's a different kettle of rotting fish.) And we certainly don't punish editors for being only 80% right. How many editors could meet that standard? The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 03:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

to be honest, I'm not an expert in the relevant notability guidelines, although GNG is plenty enough IMO. That's why I've raised it here, in order to get more attention on it. In any case, the edit warring over the tags is not really ok, and the best way to resolve all this may be at AfD (which I don't have time to pursue). --Mdann52talk to me! --Mdann52talk to me! 08:29, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo),
1) I or Rebecca1990 often vote for keep for articles because we believe that the articles are encyclopaedic, you often vote for delete because you have own reasons. We (I, Rebecca and you) are the same only on the other side of the barricade, so.
2) The activities, mass tagging by user Redban are clearly disruptive, and has clear signs of trolling. Subtropical-man talk

  • If HW is correct and 70-80% of Redban's taggings are reasonable, then that is certainly not either trolling. That 20-30% is a larger error rate than I'd like, but it's not a disruptively bad one. What would sort the problem out is if all the "correctly" tagged ones were sent to AfD. I realize that you and Rebecca1990 would !vote Keep on most if not all of them regardless, but AfD generally comes out with the correct result. Black Kite (talk) 14:09, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hullaballo's views on pornography are well-known, very strict and often persuasive, I respect them, but sometimes his are not the majority views. He is the only one to endorse the IMHO plainly wrong nominations for deletion of Gracie Glam and Marco Banderas, and he reverted two speedy closures in two discussions that are inevitably moving to be closed as keep. Even if I agree that several tagged articles could be deleteable, I don't see any reasonable chance that articles on Romain (who is full of coverage in mainstream Romanian news-sources, and the ones in the article are just a little extempt), Olivia Del Rio, Alexis Texas, Kristina Rose or Annette Schwarz could be actually deleted. Some of the tags were virtually very correct, some of them debeatable, some others wrong and several others spectacularly wrong, the main point is that it is obvious from Redban's previous own words and behaviour they were agenda-driven and part of a larger retaliatory pattern. Unsurprisingly he started the tagbombing LITERALLY TWO MINUTES AFTER he was asked by an uninvolved editor to slow the rate of his deletion-nominations. The time-rate of the tags leaves little if no doubt he did not even checked the articles he tagged: when I asked about some of them, he was unable to explain the reason WHY he put the notability tags on such articles, and his first 70 or so tags were put in about one hour, well below of a minimum standard it is reasonable to expect by a responsible, good-faith reviewer who analyzes sourcing and contents of the articles. His communication alternates trolling and personal attacks, not what we should expected on a collaborative project, and often smells of wikilawyering and other WP:GAME techniques. His bias and his agenda are crystal clear just looking at his own comments. The worst thing is that in spite of warnings and discussions, I don't see any sign he intends to change his attitude. Cavarrone 14:27, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • For the record, the two AFD closes I reverted were invalid NAC closes. Per WP:NAC, non-administrators cannot close AFD discussions before the standard seven-day period has run unless the discussion qualifies as a speedy keep. These were not closed as speedy keeps, but as snow keeps; therefore each non-administrative closure was simply invalid.

  • Also, Redban is new user (from end of October 2014) and half of number of his edits are edits in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz listed Ashlynn Brooke, Olivia Del Rio, Brooke Haven, Ariana Jollee, Katja Kassin, Kinzie Kenner, Sunny Lane, Marie Luv, Daisy Marie, Julie Night, Taylor Rain, Amber Rayne, Amy Ried, Kristina Rose, Olivia Saint, Annette Schwarz, Monica Sweetheart, & Taryn Thomas as OK to tag even though all of them pass PORNBIO's non scene/ensemble award win criteria. You listed Sunrise Adams, Lexi Belle, Alektra Blue, Roxy Jezel, Jada Stevens, Alexis Texas, Ava Vincent, Vicky Vette, & Lezley Zen as arguable tags even though all of them pass PORNBIO's non scene/ensemble award win criteria. I guess the rest can be considered arguable although I believe that almost all of them pass either another criteria of PORNBIO (mainstream appearances, starred in blockbuster, etc.) or GNG. When me and most of the other editors reverted these notability tags, we left edit summaries explaining what guideline(s) they passed and why. Redban clearly doesn't care about enforcing our notability guidelines and he does not truly question the notability of these porn stars, he just thinks that if his favorite porn star, Audrey Bitoni, can't have an article, no one can. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, you have no problem pointing out that I always vote "keep" in AfD's in an attempt to discredit me, but you conveniently fail to mention that you almost always vote "delete", even in articles which are subsequently kept because consensus determined they were notable. Many porn articles kept at AfD had an almost unanimous keep consensus with the only delete vote coming from you. Don't try to discredit me by claiming I have a bias, which I don't. I have voted keep in articles about porn stars I dislike. And stop defending Redban, there is no justification for his disruptive behavior. Every other editor who has encountered Redban's edits has noted that he is disruptive and wasting our time. Rebecca1990 (talk) 16:14, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deliberate dishonesty and disruptive behavior. Rebecca1990 is misrepresenting the express terms of the PORNBIO guideline. The applicable criterion (#1) states "Has won a well-known and significant industry award". It adds that scene/ensemble-related awards are categorically excluded, but does not on any way presume that other award categories pass the "well=known and significant" test. Rebecca's position was soundly rejected in the extensive rounds of RFCs that resulted on the current guideline text. Morbidthoughts summed up the matter quite accurately, saying that, "The debates or contention in [various deletion discussions] have been whether their nominations are significant enough to satisfy PORNBIO simply because they are performer awards. No, they are not and consensus had made clear when we last edited PORNBIO that the category is important in determining significance."[102] Categories like "Orgasmic Oralist" [103] have been characterized as too insignificant to satisfy the PORNBIO test. It is one thing to argue for change in policies and guidelines. It is quite another to falsify guideline text to claim that your soundly rejected position has consensus support. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 20:06, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't like to be negligently misquoted, Wolfowitz. Your forgetting to close the quote on my summary is misleading because you also chained another editor's opinion about that XRCO category as reflecting consensus when it has not. This type of rationale would not be permitted for article content under WP:SYN and should not be accepted here either. Morbidthoughts (talk) 03:38, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dear God, will you assume a little good faith. You're taking great umbrage over a punctuation error when the ref clearly signaled the end of the quote. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 03:52, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If I had not assumed good faith, I wouldn't have been using the words, "negligently" or "forgetting". Even if the punctuation had been correct, your chaining still would have been misleading, "deliberate" or not. Morbidthoughts (talk) 06:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to admit something about the user just doesn't add up!, And I have to agree that IMHO it seems the user's pissed off about this article getting deleted so thus he's sticking to his word and nominating every other article just to be a pain in the arse (had there been real concerns in regards to the state of the articles I wouldn't have a problem whatsoever but they all seem fine and it does just come across as retaliation for his favourite article getting deleted), Personally I'd like to see him blocked for a week but that's just my opinion. –Davey2010(talk) 16:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Any normal Wikipedia action will generally be considered to be run the risk of being considered disruptive if done en masse, unless there is a clear and widespread prior agreement that the mass action is acceptable. The only way to get that agreement is with some kind of centralized consensus discussion, which did not occur in this case. It's clear from this very discussion that views on the appropriateness of the tagging differ widely, and that, in and of itself, is an indication that Redban's bold edit was not, on the face of it, one that would have easily received a consensus agreement. Redban's mass edits should be mass-overturned, he should start a centralized discussion regarding the subjects he (or HW) believes should be tagged (and that discussion should not take place here), and Redban should take onboard the lesson that there was a better way to go about what he wished to do. Should he do it again, he should be considered to have been suitably warned, and should be blocked for deliberate disruption, and individual editors who take it upon themselves to re-tag these articles without prior discussion should be warned to stop and talk before acting. BMK (talk) 23:20, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've only seen a little bit of Redban's activity as I must not be an "unhealthily avid porn fan", but he appears to have a POV that is anti-porn and is tagging outside our standards. This discussion is probably getting too long for anyone to know what to do, but basically Redban will lose any credibility to get anything deleted if he acts in this manner.--Milowenthasspoken 16:32, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm wary of anyone who mass-tags or mass-nominates AFDs, as such behavior is nearly always disruptive, generating ill will in the community and polarization in discussions. Any new account that does those things deserves outright suspicion if not blocking on sight. We don't do agendas, and we expect competence and care in our editing, which requires proper time spent on each decision we make when we choose to act. And we certainly don't do retaliatory editing, and the timing of this spree coming after they "lost" an AFD on the same subject matter is definitely concerning. If Redban persists in tagging or nominating articles for deletion, they should be blocked immediately as it's clear there is no consensus for their actions and the end result has been entirely nonconstructive, merely generating a lot of fuss and a lot of work for others. They should feel free to participate in discussions others have started, but there's no trust for them to start their own and no reason to let them do so. postdlf (talk) 18:07, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've got a long history of agreeing with HW about porn articles, but in this particular case I don't agree. This is a brand new account whose main activity is large-scale AfD nominations. Whoever this is, they're on a crusade. We shouldn't tolerate it.—S MarshallT/C 03:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've been quite careful to avoid the suggestion that this editor was acting in good faith, wanting to leave them enough rope to hang themself, and they've done a pretty good job of it. We have a new editor -- no, a new account for a plainly experienced editor -- who surfaced as a vigorous porn enthusiast, did a 180 degree turn into a rabid porn deletionist, went on a tagging spree that mixed 80% reasonable tagging with some howling bad calls that virtually called attention to themselves, and raised a shitstorm of zealous porn defense here, far out of proportion to the minimal disruption involved. They've stirred things up so much that people are reverting stub tags placed on one- and two-sentence articles [104][105][106][107], which in any rational context would be seen as perfectly acceptable. The provocateur's behavior and the sometimes deliberately disproportionate reaction to it, have polluted things so badly that an impeccably presented and argued AFD nomination by Morbidthoughts (who's only had one nomination turned down in five years!) has been caught up in the circus and appears to be failing (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whitney Stevens (2nd nomination)). There's deliberate disruption going on, all right, but not the simplistic sort. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 04:48, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal - TBAN

I believe enough has been said. May I formally propose a tban for Redban from pornbios, including tagging and AfDing, subject to the usual exclusion. Thanks, --Mdann52talk to me! 13:36, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per WP:POINTY Avono (talk) 13:41, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose at this time - I don't think there's been a sufficient history to justify a topic ban right now. Redban should be warned that their behavior was disruptive, and told that if they do it (or anything similar to it) again, they will be blocked. At that time, a tban might well be justified. BMK (talk)
    • Support - per Redban's current behavior, as revealed by Cavarrone below. The editor clearly has not taken onboard the advice inherent in this report, and seems clearly to be on a personal mission in regard to pornbios. BMK (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Such sanctions are intended to be preventive. When his behavior was challenged, the user stopped. It's pretty clear that some of the users calling for his scalp either don't understand banning/blocking policy or are willfully ignoring it. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 18:23, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm confused by what you take "preventive" to mean in this context. "He doesn't happen to be doing it while we're discussing it" isn't really an argument, and stopping in and of itself doesn't establish that they understand what the problem was. Topic bans are always meant to prevent future disruption of the same kind caused in the past, sending a clear signal to the editor that "you've proven you can't be trusted to work in this area" and that they will be blocked if they ignore that. postdlf (talk) 18:57, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • He was challenged. He stopped. He engaged in discussion. What else do you want a user to do? The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 19:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • The only promise I see from him right now is "I'll stop while the current batch are pending." That's far from an acknowledgement that there was a problem, and instead he attributed the criticism of his deletion agenda purely to an agenda to keep rather than any problem with his methods or judgment. More editors who have no involvement in that subject area have since commented (and all critically), but he has not yet responded to that. But note as per my comment below, I'm basically in agreement with BMK that this discussion constitutes a warning that resumption of the same conduct will result in him being blocked, and I don't think it's (yet) necessary to ban him from any involvement in porn articles. Unless he shows new methods of disruption in that area... postdlf (talk) 22:07, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think we have call for banning from the whole subject matter, but it's clear from the above discussion that if Redban resumes rapidfire tagging or mass-nominates any more articles, they will be blocked. postdlf (talk) 18:57, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was for echoing the postdlf's and BMK's comments above, but apparently this individual has not stopped anything... he has just reprised with this unhelpful tagging and his last tag has as edit summary announced future AfDs: "Article full of nothing ... I'll put the tags for now before deletion". Interestingly the article lists several reliable book sources and already survived an AfD based on the subject passing GNG. This editor has no other interest than making his crusade. Sadly support at this point as the community have better things to do than loosing time reviewing his edits and challenging his work. Cavarrone 22:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sigh... I've blocked them for 24 hours for disruption. Their responses to BMK on their talk page are hard to read as anything but trolling. I suspect the nonsense will resume when the block expires, so support topic ban per above, and I'd favor a ban on any tagging activity regardless of article subject. postdlf (talk) 23:37, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, the trolling, the personal attacks and the combative attitude are also a part of the problem, the main part IMHO. Some of his comments/actions smell of sockpuppetry, too (eg the almost immediate reply to BMK with a citation of a rather little known essay is not what I expect from a brand new editor, as Redban pretends to be). Cavarrone 23:48, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yeah, I wondered about that as well. postdlf (talk) 00:47, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Looks like s/he gave up, guys. Erpertblah, blah, blah... 14:04, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • The use of that retired template is also unusual for a new editor. I can't say I put a lot of trust in its use here. My inclination is now to indef block the account so they have to present an argument for reactivating the account, rather than letting them sneak back when no one's paying attention. postdlf (talk) 16:35, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
              • Yes, almost everything about this editor just cries out "returning editor trying to obscure their identity." In my opinion, a block would be prophylactic. BMK (talk) 23:06, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Input. Now I havent read all of the massive paragraphs posted on here by people, but to me I think the conduct has ceased so a ban isn't appropriate cause of the rules in our WP:BLOCKDETERRENT and WP:NOPUNISH. The quotations are: In general once a matter has become "cold" and the risk of present disruption has clearly ended, reopening it by blocking retrospectively is usually not seen as appropriate ......... Deterrence is based upon the likelihood of repetition. For example, though it might have been justifiable to block an editor a short time ago, such a block may no longer be justifiable right now, particularly if the actions have since ceased.

You guys are inclining or suspecting that he will come back but suspicion isn't enough for a ban since banning needs utmost caution and care. If we give the fella' the benefit of the doubt and assume that he has given up, then just let this go and move on. If he comes back and decide to start trouble again, then report it again as well as this page and you can likely get him banned easy.

I would also need to question the level of disruption by asking if its really enough to warrant a ban. From what I see above, he started tagging A TON of porno-people for notabilities yet even then the majority of the tags were actually arguable. Right now most the tags have been removed and he hasnt put anything back (so no edit warring). Was his actions really disruptive enough to deserve a total ban from Wikipedia, guys?

Also, the guy is new on here and our rules say, Administrators should take special care when dealing with new users. Beginning editors are often unfamiliar with Wikipedia policy and convention, and so their behavior may initially appear to be disruptive. Responding to these new users with excessive force can discourage them from editing in the future. See Wikipedia:Do not bite the newcomers. Since 2007 the amount of editors on Wikipedia has been going down a lot and a lot of people say our bureaucracy is the cause of that decline. Lets set a gentle precedent right now and let this go and move on. Its Christmas season after all. Let it go, guys! Move on with it! Percentagesign (talk) 00:10, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

By posting using an account that is less than 24 hours old you are illustrating the actual issue: many problematic users are not "new". Further, any declining editor participation is more likely due to failure of admins to take action against problematic users who drive away other contributors. However, let's assume the editor in question is completely new and simply is at the center of a disagreement. Why has this section dragged on for a week? A good-faith new user would see there was opposition to their style and would say "Oh, sorry, I'm new ... I'll stop doing that and take some time to figure out what the problem is". If that had happened, this would have been finished a week ago. Perhaps the new editor is right...they just need to proceed more slowly and collaborate with others. Johnuniq (talk) 00:30, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to go ahead with the block, notwithstanding the comment posted here out of the blue as the 30th edit of an account that wasn't even 24 hours old. postdlf (talk) 01:44, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After reviewing the vast majority of the edits from the "Redban" account, most of them, IMHO, have been highly questionable or obviously diruptive, which pretty much means to me that this (not at all new to Wikipedia) editor is not here to to build an encyclopedia. Attempts from above to try & defend this editor's behavior on Wikipedia are, at best, misguided. Enough is enough people...far too many editors have had to waste time undoing or fixing edits from these Wikipedia accounts. Guy1890 (talk) 02:58, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for putting that together. I think WP:DUCK clearly applies, so the "new" account is getting blocked as well (hell, their comment above is a textbook DUCK example). postdlf (talk) 03:17, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • TBAN warning from an admin willing to re-engage on the issue if Redban does not take the advice being offered here to heart in a hurry. Looking at the context and pattern of the edits, I'm inclined to agree that there can be very little doubt that underlying cause for these tags is a reactionary (if not outright retaliatory) response to findings connected to similar issues in another AfD. In other words, an extensive fit to make sure the WP:OTHERSTUFF meets the same fate as the content said editor wanted to keep, whether the cases are equivalent or not. The fact that some of these tags may or may not have been incidentally on the mark is really secondary, because, in the long run, editorial activities carried out with these kinds of goals in mind inevitably ends up disruptive and counter-productive on the balance, usually by a significant margin. I'm less concerned about Redban's edits to the pages themselves than I am their attitude in discussions, including a propensity to downplay concerns about their behaviour and frame the motivations of their critics in terms of (often insulting) straw man arguments, even when the vast majority of involved editors are trying to tell them that their approach is disruptive. It seems doubtful there will be a change towards a more measured and good-faith approach until Redban admits that there is a problem to begin with. Even if the tagging abates in this case, similar problems on other topics are likely -- if a change in editorial approach and priorities are not stressed -- since the core issue is respect for process, not a matter particular to porn actresses. All of that being said, I really don't see enough in terms of blatant policy violation to justify a block or ban at this point. Surely some form of administrative warning is appropriate first. Yes, I'm a little dubious it will get the desired effect, but pro forma it seems the right thing to do. Snow talk 07:48, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Calidum is arbitrarily removing material up that being discussed on the Allies of World War II Talk Page.

And, started to use swear words against myself for informing him of that the debate is not closed yet. That kind of behavior is condescending and inappropriate.

Edit warring on Electronic Cigarette by Doc James

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I have just edited the Electronic cigarette article to reflect the findings of a new secondary source. User:Doc James has reverted my edits twice without explanation. Given the history of this article it looks like edit-warring to push a POV.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 03:48, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here Fergus removed two 2014 review articles [108] calling them obsolete
Here Fergus removed another 2014 review article from the journal Circulation [109][110] calling it obsolete
Here again they remove a 2014 review calling it obsolete [111]
In this edit [112] they added "However this is contradicted by the Cochrane Collaboration, whose 2014 review found no evidence that electronic cigarette use is delaying or preventing smoking cessation" Which part of the ref states this?
The review did not state "no major health issues associated with electronic cigarette use". They found "low to very low" quality evidence of no major health issues
This is also not exactly correct "No serious adverse effects from e-cigarette use are known;"
So yes issues Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:58, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[ec with Doc James] Your "Cochrane2014" source (link) isn't trustworthy on this subject; to quote their own opinion, The quality of the evidence overall is low because it is based on only a small number of studies. This is one of those articles meant to draw attention and research money to the subject, saying basically "we can't say solidly yet, but we really have potential here". Also, you removed sources such as Harrell from the journal Otolaryngology and "Drummond2014" from the Annals of the American Thoracic Society. One new source with admittedly shaky conclusions doesn't mean that all previous research is junk: per WP:NPOV, we need to represent all significant views on the subject, and you're removing the view that these things are of uncertain efficacy. Nyttend (talk) 03:59, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I removed the claim that there is no evidence. Now there is. I made clear in my edit that this evidence is tentative, but to claim that there is no evidence is now incorrect and should not be in the article. There aren't any actual reviews that contradict the Cochrane one's (tentative) conclusions, just opinions. Doc seems determined to downplay this as much as possible, despite the fact that a larger review about to be published in Circulation came to exactly the same conclusions.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:06, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article in question has been under protection for several weeks due to edit warring. FergusM took advantage of the expiration of the protection to make 8 back-to-back POV edits for which there was no consensus and regarding which discussion was ongoing on the Talk page. His engagement style on the talk page is excessively confrontational, dismissive, and makes no effort to reach consensus. I suggest a 24 hour block.

I removed claims that are now obsolete. It's stupid to say there is no evidence for efficacy when there now is. As for POV-pushing, didn't you just suggest two links to some quack's website as reliable sources?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:24, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I submitted two compendium-type articles by an MD to the article's Talk page for other editors to review and decide on, noting that the citations to the articles contained some MEDRS sources and information. Nice attempt at deflection. If the "claims" that you removed are "obsolete", then you need to post RS studies that dispute the claims, rather than remove cited information. Softlavender (talk) 04:45, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I posted an RS containing evidence that e-cigs are effective for smoking cessation. Clearly, any claim that there is no evidence is now obsolete. That's pretty basic logic. And you posted two links to "the world's #1 natural health website", which is liberally speckled with links to fluoride cranks, anti-vaxxers and other assorted nutjobs.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:54, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is quite clear from the talk page discussions that there was no consensus for FergusM1970's unilateral removal of sourced content. AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:31, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BRD. Anyway the fact that it's sourced is irrelevant, because it's now obsolete. The strength of the evidence can be debated, which is why I used the word "tentative" in my edit, but to claim that there is no evidence is simply wrong and makes the article misleading. Far too much WP:WEIGHT has already been given to hypotheticals and vague "concerns", whereas there seems to be a determination to play down actual research. Go read the article; it's a mess, mostly because every trivial review with a truckload of "concerns" is cited. The facts are buried under a pile of "concern", innuendo and sludge.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As you describe it, it sounds good, but when something is found to have no consensus and should be removed or retained it will be reverted by multiple people who disagree. Its best to discuss things first. Perhaps small non contentious things its ok, but anything major or likely to be disputed, talking first stops problems. AlbinoFerret 06:42, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What you wrote does not even make sense, and I'm not sure you even understand BRD, least of all as pertains to this case, because you haven't given any evidence that you do or have even read BRD. Softlavender (talk) 07:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fergus is recently back at this article after a 6 month topic ban for aggressive and non collaborative editing. He probably needs an indef topic ban. Zad68 06:06, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • One set of edits that he did that were reverted is not reason for a topic ban. This is a content disagreement and should not end in any ban. There was no edit warring. AlbinoFerret 06:44, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He's being proposed for a topic ban for returning immediately to a contentious article he has had a 6-month topic ban on, edit-warring on it, and then instead of discussing per WP:BRD, coming to ANI to request that the editors who disagree with him should be topic banned. It's not hard to see there's a pattern here. Softlavender (talk) 07:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense. I discussed all of this extensively on the talk page before making any edits at all. When I undid Doc James' first revert I asked him to discuss. He didn't; he just reverted again. Without consensus. He has serious WP:OWN issues, right down to the fact that an article about a consumer product is laid out as if it's a medical article. His justification for this, presumably based on psychic abilities, is that "That's what people come here to look for." How does he know that? And does it matter? It still isn't a medical article.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 13:46, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can't work with somebody who's goal is to subvert Wikipedia to promote a fringe POV or a corporate POV. JehochmanTalk 14:05, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That e-cigs are effective for smoking cessation is hardly a fringe POV. It's accepted by many qualified tobacco control experts and several NHS smoking cessation services.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 14:34, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Jehochman: Those are pretty serious allegations. Just because someone disagrees with another editor does not make their point of view fringe or corporate. This whole blow-up is over a Chocrane Review, hardly fringe. There was discussion, and on this page its needed before editing. The article is now protected, and while I was against it. Perhaps its needed for a longer term. There is no compromise or discussion, just jump in and have a revert fest on the part of multiple editors. AlbinoFerret 14:45, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry what? It's not me who tries to terminate discussions with "Ah no". As the user page makes very clear I have been actively involved in trying to find consensus on many issues, which you have not been doing; you just oppose every change that's not to your liking and refuse to engage in meaningful discussion. There are several discussions going on right now, for example about rearranging the article sections; you haven't contributed anything except to oppose the change without any explanation. It is not me who is being disruptive; it is you and QuackGuru.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 22:51, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Another example: There is a discussion, started by Formerly98, about reducing the emphasis on the highly contested Grana/Glantz paper. You have repeatedly resisted any attempt to remove claims based on this paper, but you are taking no part in the discussion. I think we both know that this does not mean you agree the paper is being over-used, and are happy to see its use scaled back. You seem to think you can ignore attempts to build consensus, then just step in when any change is attempted and veto it. This is disruptive to the process of improving the article, which frankly is in a very sorry state - and that isn't a reference to its POV issues; I mean it's a badly written mess.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 23:02, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So, in attempting to find a record in ANI archives of the six-month topic ban mentioned above, I find lots of threads about disruption from FergusM1970, but I'm unable to come up with this six-month topic ban. Could someone post it, please, so others can opine as intelligently as possible? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:34, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't a community topic ban, it was agreed to by FergusM1970 about 3/4 of the way down at User talk:FergusM1970#Unblock request, as a condition for John unblocking the account. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:42, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Floquenbeam. I'll catch up before entering an opinion (but I sure see lots of threads about disruption on lots of topics). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:47, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You'll also see a lot of spelling and grammar corrections, new articles and general Wiki activity. Most of the issues I've had have been either with a) a well-known Irish Republican tag team or b) Doc James, whose editing style does not involve an awful lot in the way of meaningful discussion or consensus building.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 23:50, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think I'll focus on drilling down into your role in the Venezuelan situation, since I know who's who in there. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK. The sockpuppet allegations were particularly amusing.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:09, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Another fine mess (but no, you don't strike me as Alek Boyd, and I've edited around him for years). So,
Looking at Derwick Associates (another controversial article that has appeared many times at ANI) and trying to determine if there is a pattern of disruption, I find FergusM1970 generally correctly removing non-reliable sources and making some good edits. But,
  1. Yes, you removed several non-RS here, but why is elmundo.com not a reliable source?
  2. This is original research; if that text is in that source, please point it out to me (I speak and read fluent Spanish). Same here.
  3. Here, you say in edit summary that Justiciero1811 is Alek Boyd (a well known Venezuelan blogger). Law.com is giving a dead link right now, so I can't determine if the text you deleted is reasonable.
  4. Here, you are rightly deleting some non-RS, but why are you removing ultimas noticas and el universal, for example?
  5. Same here, what's wrong with el mundo?
OK, so on that cursory review of your older editing patterns in a topic I know, I am getting the idea that you remove reliable sources to support a POV. Convince me I'm wrong. I'm not going to weigh in on the med situation, since I don't want to give fuel to the fire that WP:MED editors are aligning against you. It does appear that either controversy follows you, or you follow controversy. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:27, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I can definitely assure you that I'm not Alek Boyd! Anyway I don't speak Spanish at all and relied on machine translation plus calls to my sister in law, who's Spanish. As I recall (and this was a while ago) my statement about Batiz regularly publishing anti-Derwick articles was based on the large number of anti-Derwick articles he's published. I realize that may count as WP:SYNTH but I was less knowledgeable about Wiki rules then. I honestly can't recall what suggested to me that Justiciero was Boyd. I removed the sources you highlight because, in my estimation, they didn't relate to the article; Justiciero seemed to be loading the article with cites to hostile articles that didn't necessarily have a lot to do with what it said. I don't think my edits there constitute pushing a POV, because the article as edited by me still mentioned the allegations against the company. The issue was that Justiciero had made it even more POV than the e-cig article currently is. I submit that it was a lot closer to NPOV when I finished than it was when I started.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:40, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll just add that the editor who complained about me in that case was a self-confessed sockpuppeteer who made malicious allegations against me.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:42, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose any topic ban This is a content dispute. Some discussion on the talk pages and some edits that were reverted do not rise to the level of a topic ban. There seems to be a pattern of trying to topic ban people who disagree with editors from the Medical Wikiproject link while defending those they agree with regardless of the disruption. This whole blow up is a result of editors who dont show up to edit, but to shut things down. If it is found that one party is indeffinatly topic banned, both should be banned. AlbinoFerret 23:48, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now that is quite a fine mess, but I'm not seeing the WP:MED alignment you mention. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:52, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
One example: Doc James is insisting that the article, which is about a consumer product not licensed as a medical device anywhere in the world, should conform to the Medical Wikiproject layout. This despite a recent RfC which found no grounds for doing so. There's an ongoing discussion about changing the order and his sole contribution has been "No, there's no reason to change it." His supporters are principally Zad68 and Yobol, who also seem to share his views on a number of other medical articles, and QuackGuru, who's just appalling.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 23:58, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, one would hope all this ongoing fuss is about more than order of sections. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:00, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is. The reason I opened this discussion in the first place is that, earlier today, I added a MEDRS-compliant source outlining evidence on e-cigs. At the same time I removed a number of older statements claiming there was no evidence, as these are clearly no longer accurate. I made clear in my edit that the evidence is tentative (what in science isn't?) and Doc immediately reverted me twice. The new source had been discussed on the talk page without any input from Doc James beyond "I disagree." Rather than push the boundaries of 3RR I brought it here. I would ask that either Doc James is put under 1RR or that he agrees to engage meaningfully on the talk page from now on, rather than the somewhat dictatorial way he'd been doing up to now.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:07, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think its a good idea to require discussion from everyone before editing the article to avoid edit wars. I do agree that there was little discussion on the edits before the edits were done. I will also point out that Doc James at the time of the reverts called them "Good Faith Edits" diff. AlbinoFerret 00:52, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's plenty discussion. It's just that Doc James doesn't participate except to say "I disagree" or "There's no reason to change my preferred wording".--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:58, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to close this ANI as ridiculous, and a ridiculous waste of everyone's time, or to issue a boomerang result for failing to follow WP:BRD and gain consensus and instead rushing to ANI to get everyone else blocked. Two reverts (and two diffs) are not edit-warring, and ANI is not AN3 (which this case would not even merit to begin with). This inappropriate ANI has turned into an endless round of self-justification by the filer, devoid of diffs, and is wasting everyone's time. Enough is enough.

My mistake. I asked for a 24-hour ban for Doc. I didn't suggest anything for Andy. I also asked for an indef for QuackGuru, which given his history seems perfectly reasonable. Hardly "everyone else" though, is it? Still hyperbole.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 01:17, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I meant your request of an indef for QuackGuru (for whom you have provided no diffs); now stricken and corrected.

Softlavender (talk) 01:43, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've spent half the day trying to build consensus on a number of issues. Doc James has not. He just issues proclamations then reverts any edit he doesn't agree with.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 01:52, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You did not do any such thing before you filed this ANI. You made two cursory posts on the Talk page and then filed this ANI without cause and without any prior attempt at reasoned discussion or finding out and establishing consensus. Your continued self-justification here is, again, just wasting everyone's time. I'm sure you'll have a self-justifying response to this as well, but I've no interest in wasting my own time further. My motion to close this unwarranted ANI still stands. Softlavender (talk) 02:02, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Try actually reading the talk page. I started a discussion about the new review. It was discussed extensively. Doc James agreed that there was now evidence of efficacy. Then, when I removed the now-obsolete statements that there is no evidence, he immediately reverted me twice. At that point, rather than risk breaching 3RR as I have done before, I brought it here because further discussion with him would be, from bitter experience, pointless.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 02:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

E-cig part II

We've just managed to get a major improvement made to the article, after building a consensus that brought in editors from both the "MED" and "non-MED" camps (I know we shouldn't be split into opposing camps, but that's the reality on that article). The admin who made the edit characterized those opposed to it as "bleating 'no consensus" from the sidelines, without actually specifying their objection to the proposed change'. The opposition was Doc James and QuackGuru. This is exactly why I brought this case; Doc James (and Quack of course) seems determined to maintain the article in his preferred state but cannot, or will not, give any explanation beyond "It's fine as it is." It is very frustrating and unhelpful to the process of trying to build a better article.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:52, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So yesterday, after discussions that have dragged on for months, we managed to get rough consensus on the order of the article and (while the article was still protected) got an edit request approved. Doc James just reverted that edit without any discussion at all. He is editing disruptively and needs at least a 1RR restriction.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 19:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And reverted again, still with no attempt at discussion.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 20:06, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And, despite having reverted an admin-approved edit twice in a few minutes with no attempt to discuss or seek consensus, he has now posted a message on my talk page accusing me of edit-warring!--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 20:09, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The page has now been locked as a result of the edit war started by Doc James with his preferred wording in place, which I can only assume was his aim.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 20:18, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Next, QuackGuru. There are three daughter pages from the Electronic Cigarette article; one deals with safety and another with legal issues. Quack has been duplicating and mixing up content across these. Earlier today I moved a legal paragraph from the safety article to the legal one; in the process I deleted half of it which dealt purely with safety issues that were already covered elsewhere in the safety article. Quack's response was a rambling series of accusations in which he accused me of "not wanting the information on any page" despite the fact that it was right there at the top of the first section. This is definitely a WP:COMPETENT issue and quite possibly a WP:AGF one as well - both issues that have been repeatedly raised against Quack across multiple articles. His continued presence at the Electronic cigarette article is not helpful. I note that a lot of progress was made today and he contributed nothing. When he does contribute the article instantly gets bogged down in conflicts over his edits and WP:IDHT behavior.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 06:33, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And he's done it again. Obvious, massive competency issues.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 07:31, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And again. WP:IDHT, WP:COMPETENT, and the FSM knows what else. It's impossible to have a discussion with him.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 08:06, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And yet again. This time it's a discussion about a new paragraph for the Usage section. Quack clearly has serious reading comprehension difficulties because he's now insisting it's about the lede. I request that User:QuackGuru is indefinitely banned from editing on electronic cigarettes, broadly construed, because quite apart from any other issues he is utterly incompetent to do so.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 09:14, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

FergusM1970, admins are no different than any other editors in content disputes, so referencing "admin-approved edits" isn't helpful. Doc, MEDMOS order of sections is just a guideline, and I'm not seeing clear consensus one way or another for order of sections here (if I missed it, pls point it out).

OK. The point I was making is that an admin approved the edit request yesterday while the article was protected, as he judged there was a rough consensus for it. After it was unprotected today Doc James started an edit war to revert that edit with no attempt at discussing it. An RfC had just found no grounds to impose the order he wants, and commented that it doesn't look NPOV.

With this amount of intransigence over minor issues, I suggest it may be time to visit community-imposed 1RR sanctions on the article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:53, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that there was no consensus for that order to be used in the first place, but Doc and other MED editors have refused to consider any changes even though the article is not medical.

  • There was no consensus

We had a RfC here regarding the layout of the article which was closed by User:FormerIP on Dec 17th, 2014 after 21 days as "no consensus".

Another discussion regarding the section ordering was opened the next day at 18:18 [113] which had people on both sides of the discussion 4 supporting / 4 opposing (now 5). The page was fully protected due to many issues. User:MSGJ made the change after only one day of discussion and without clear consensus or really sufficient time for discussion or consensus.

The page protection was removed and the article restored to how it was previously by myself. From my understanding one needs consensus for a change not consensus to keep an article the same. The article has now been fully protected again by User:CambridgeBayWeather and they have

It's Quack who urgently needs topic banned. If Doc will agree to discuss meaningfully, rather than relying on stonewalling and a handful of stock phrases, a ban might not be necessary. The problem is that he's very high-handed and won't let go of the belief that it's a MED article. If he can accept that and engage with people maybe we wouldn't have these problems.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 21:02, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Each side wants the other side topic-banned: tit-for-tat. So, how about all four (Fergus, Ferret, Doc and Quack) agree voluntarily to no edits for a month after protection is removed, so the community doesn't have to impose something more severe, and we'll see if some other editors can clean up what is, as of now, rather a dreadful article.

No such pattern.

There are plenty of articles on Wikipedia that need improvement. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:40, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are. I use Wikipedia for work research on a daily basis and I make a point of fixing spelling, grammar and any other mistakes I find, just to raise the quality slightly. However I am somewhat irked that the e-cig article is such a mess. It and its daughters are, in large part, unreadable - huge chunks look like they were translated from Korean to English by someone who only speaks Greek - and that thanks to intransigence by MED editors it's impossible to improve. Am I POV pushing? I don't think so. Yes, I think e-cigs are a great smoking cessation tool, but I am not trying to expunge negative material from the article; I just don't think having lots of speculation, or six consecutive sentences saying "We don't know about..." makes the encylopaedia more useful or accessible. We could easily have one sentence that says "We don't know X, Y and Z." That's what I've been trying to do at the Safety article, and apart from QuackGuru (see diffs above) there have been no complaints. I'm willing to step back in the interests of progress if Doc will reciprocate, but again, Quack is not a competent editor. He has massive IDHT issues. He appears to have reading comprehension problems. He cannot write a coherent sentence or choose words that preserve the meaning of a source. I don't think there's any chance he will ever become a productive editor on this topic, whereas with a bit of nurturing, guidance and North Korean brainwashing techniques Doc, Ferret and perhaps even myself might.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 21:51, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@SandyGeorgia:As has been pointed out numerous places, I seldom make one edit and leave. It usually takes 4 or 5 edits or more for me to get things perfect. The topic interests me, but it isnt the only interest I have. I am also a member of the Citation cleanup Wikiproject and like to answer RFC's. The article has lots of discussions and I like activity because I am a disabled person who spends time online. But my activity is no excuse for another editor to edit war.

I did, I wasnt replying to you.AlbinoFerret 22:03, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the silver lining in these unpleasantries is that at least y'all are funny :) Albino, I understand the limitations of editcountitis; mine show a similar pattern. I did want to give you all the opportunity to comment on whether we are seeing evidence of unhealthy fixations on individual content areas. As Fergus points out, the articles are dreadful, and something has to give. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion, for what it's worth (and they make some pretty small coins here) is that the MED point of view has to give. It's an article about a consumer product with no known health risks when used correctly beyond making some people sneeze. The article should definitely make clear that there are concerns from some people, but the insistence on stuffing it with speculation and alarmist statements is not helpful. Yes, some e-cigs (the disposable and cartridge-based ones that tobacco control and the tobacco industry demand are the only ones on the market) release metal nanoparticles, but the level of these particles is between 10 and 50 times lower than the FDA safe limit for asthma inhalers! You won't get that from the article though. It reads like a medical journal, albeit one written by someone who learned English from watching Beavis and Butthead. For the average reader - the person it's meant to be aimed at - it's just impenetrable and alarmist. Even Formerly98, a self-confessed MED partisan, is arguing that we should cut out the wilder claims of potential, but entirely hypothetical, dangers. Why can't we just say "There's some bad stuff in there but not very much; it's way safer than smoking but, yanno, not quite as safe as lettuce."?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 22:23, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I should probably note that even the article on actual real cigarettes, which really are dangerous, doesn't follow the order Doc wants, with health effects first. So I see no reason at all why this one should, and I'll reiterate that the MED crowd had no consensus for changing to this order in the first place. That makes the outrage at "no consensus" now seem vaguely invalid.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 22:29, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@SandyGeorgia: The articles is dreadful because no one wants to discuss things and work to make them better. Its just dump and revert. Personally I think a long term protection is the best. It may make the article progress slowly. But it will force people to work together and compromise for the good of the article to get things done. Short blocks just have people waiting till they are over and start the nonsense all over. As for my editing, I am forced to use the source editor and even that has bugs on my distro, I dont type that well and spelling errors always seem to show up after I have saved it, but I have tried to make an improvement and preview twice before saving. I tell you what, I would trade being able to post a lot for being able to leave one of two rooms for most of the day and having to get people to help me if I want to leave the house for simple thing like a doctors appointment. AlbinoFerret 22:25, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, Albino, I understand the limitations of editcountitis, and my editing is the same (it takes me five edits to do what most editors do in one). But for whatever reason, there is an unhealthy dynamic at that article. I have little experience as far as knowing which kind of sanctions to apply (1RR, extended protection, topic bans, whatever), but something has to give. For everyone to be calling for everyone else to be topic banned doesn't seem to be going anywhere. If long-term protection is decided by those more accustomed to dealing with protracted disputes, so be it, but it seems to me that the most collegial way forward would be for all four of you to agree to sit on your fingers for a month, and see what others can make of the situation. At least that is preferable to having something imposed upon you or the article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:51, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to be a bore, but I still don't think that suffices for Quack, because I can tell you exactly what he'll do. He'll spend a month working up a massive edit in his sandbox, then five minutes after the month is up slap it on the article without any discussion. Next he'll argue, edit-war and disrupt to keep it there. I will lose my temper with him and get blocked for six months. Everyone else will walk away from the article in disgust. It will be brought to AN/I repeatedly. Doc will argue in favour of Quack. The whole mess will start again. The article's future will be at lest slightly brighter if it has no QuackGuru in it, because he's both abrasive and incompetent.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 22:55, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've never edited around QuackGuru, so can't agree or disagree. I did just take a look at cigarette, and think it's not a very good model; for something as proven dangerous as cigarette smoking, the health section there seems to be downplayed, which I find curious. Perhaps it's never been an issue because, well, it's uncontroversial, and we have health effects of tobacco. Would e-cigs have been invented if not for health issues? Is Safety of electronic cigarettes given too much or too little weight at e-cig? Your argument about Quack (above) seems to indicate that some combo of article protection or 1RR sanction might be needed. I hope you can all come to find some middle ground on the health issue, so you don't end up in an arbcase. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, digression. No, e-cigs wouldn't exist if it wasn't for health issues. The inventor was a heavy smoker whose father died of lung cancer; they were explicitly designed as a safer replacement for lit tobacco. I think the summary of the safety issue is about right just now bearing in mind that no serious risks are currently known and the toxicology suggests long-term risks are likely to be quite small. There's a lot of additional info in the Safety article, although I do think that should be further streamlined without removing any actual information.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 23:43, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, he has a bit of a block log and the same issues - IDHT, tendentious editing, edit warring and incompetence - come up over and over again. He's even worse than me, and it's not even a case of him being a difficult editor who can make good edits. I'd be much happier if he was the subject of at least a 1RR sanction, and if you did that I'd voluntarily accept one myself to balance the scales.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 23:34, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As for the one month time out, as I said, I'm happy with that if the others agree.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 23:39, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
...although Doc apparently doesn't, as he's now reopened the whole section order argument again. Can you please make it an order?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:02, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) "... if you did that I'd voluntarily accept one myself ... " ??? Fergus, I'm not even an admin, and I rarely get involved in discussions of article or editor sanctions. I'm in this discussion now because you pinged my talk and asked me to revisit; not sure what I can add that admins more experienced in protracted disputes couldn't better handle.

I see we now have a Third RFC on the matter. Perhaps this time folks will give it the time needed for an RFC to come to any meaningful conclusion, and having the article protected in the meantime should help that happen. But seriously -- all of this over order of sections, when the actual content needs so much work still? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:03, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, I thought you were an admin! Anyway Doc clearly isn't going to accept your suggestion. I'm going to get drunk and sing sea shanties at the cat. My faith in Wikipedia is at one of its lower points tonight. He just won't accept that these are not medications despite the FDA, EU, Health Canada etc. specifically ruling that they are not. There's no reasoning with him.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:17, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Lets look at the heading of WP:MEDMOS. It says "Drugs, medications and devices" Is nicotine the active ingredient of e-cigs a drug? And smoking is a top importance article at WPMED [114]Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:21, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jesus. This like an idée fixe. Why do you keep bringing up MEDMOS? It is not even vaguely relevant. These are not medical devices. The EU say they are not medical devices. The FDA say they are not medical devices. Health Canada say they are not medical devices. The WHO say they are not medical devices. Only you, Doc James, insist they are medical devices. There's no gentle way to put this: You are obsessed with single-handedly reclassifying e-cigs as medical devices. Will you please, for the sake of Wikipedia, just accept the facts and LET IT GO?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 00:31, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have never, as far as I am aware, said they were medical devices. Can you provide a diff? They are a drugs. Similar to caffeineDoc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:12, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If e-cigs are "a drugs similar to caffeine" I assume that, for the sake of consistency, you also describe a coffee machine as "a drugs similar to nicotine." If not, why not?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 03:31, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The comparison is more like a cup of coffee being a drug. Yes yes it is. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:08, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No. The comparison you are making is to the cup being a drug, which is of course wrong. Cups can contain a drug. E-cigs can contain a drug. However cups and e-cigs are not drugs. Do you understand this?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:19, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unbelievable. They are not drugs. They are devices. The liquid you put in them may or may not contain nicotine; the devices themselves, however, are not drugs by any definition to be found anywhere in the English language. I don't think you can contribute usefully to an article on a consumer product when you don't even know what it is.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 01:42, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah if that is your position, since this Cochrane review compared "e-cigs with nicotine" against "e-cigs without nicotine" [115] it does not support "One review found evidence of a benefit as a smoking cessation aid". The article is about devices that contain nicotine with ones that do not as the control. You have not provided a diff. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to disregard that because it was utterly irrelevant, to the extent that I don't think you understood my last comment. E-cigs are not a drug. They can be used to deliver a drug, but they are not a drug. Do you understand that? --FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 02:03, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Emphasis added:
  • These are not medical devices. The EU say they are not medical devices. The FDA say they are not medical devices. Health Canada say they are not medical devices.

But Doc James never said they were medical devices, and now the discussion is going in semantic circles. So, Fergus, based on the rhetoric and hyperbole you aimed at Doc James in that exchange, while he provided sources in response, I'm suggesting it may be time to push back from the computer and edit something else for a while. You're going in circles over order of sections, and the argument has been reduced to semantics. I'm still not understanding why anyone would consider the structure of cigarette as a valid example, not only because WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but because it makes no sense to me that the known health consequences of smoking cigarettes are buried at the end of a long article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:08, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The trouble is he provided sources on how a medical article should be laid out, and this is not a medical article. His wording on the new RFC, which looks like IDHT, confused me and gave me the impression he was calling them medical devices. OK, he isn't, but he is calling them a drug and that's wrong too. In fact this is an example of why he's so unhelpful at getting agreement; he won't give straight answers, he won't take any account of other people's comments and he won't listen to anything he doesn't want to hear. This boils down to "Doc, they're not medical devices and this isn't a medical article." "Sure, but the article is laid out wrong; look, MEDMOS says it should be like this." The idea that the article doesn't fall under MEDMOS in the first place is something that he simply refuses to consider.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 02:16, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This would be a good time to take DarkFalls' suggestion, and pursue the semantic issues on article talk. Getting heated and going in semantic circles isn't productive. Usually, focusing on sources is. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:29, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is being pursued at the talk page. He's refusing to address comments about IDHT and misrepresenting the outcome of the last RfC, while continuing to insist that e-cigs are a drug and not a consumer product. This is a common pattern with him. He refuses to engage constructively, then blocks any change he disagrees with.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 03:00, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The current protection appears to be adequate for now, although it may be lifted once a proper consensus is reached regarding the content of the article. In that respect, a 1RR sanction is unnecessary considering the article will remain locked. As further admin action appears unnecessary for now, I would recommend proceeding with the conversation in a more appropriate forum. However I should note that further discussion of the dispute should not be closed prematurely, please allow consensus to develop. —Dark 01:02, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute between two users

Could someone close this please? The other editor's bogus warnings or deletions on several editors' talk pages have been reverted, and he has been indeffed as a sock. The next probable sock, User:Thekillerofmeters has already been indeffed for continuing the harassment, and his death threats against me and my family have been RevDeled from my talk page. If you don't want to take my word for it, check with the other editors who were targeted by or dealt with Actionfanman: User:HelloThereMinions, User:Avono, User:JamesBWatson, User:Kansas Bear, User:Worldexplorer2014, and User:Skylark2008.
I also suggest that User:Anthony Appleyard be a bit more careful about his wording at ANI. I didn't start a dispute on his talk page, and I didn't make any accusations there. I made exactly one edit to Appleyard's talk page. I simply responded to the other user making a bogus request for me to be blocked, with links to the correct places to make such a request (either ANI or AIV) here.
And if someone is going to drag me to ANI for something like this it would be nice if they gave the mandatory notification. I wasn't notified, and neither was Actionfanman. Meters (talk) 06:18, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible disruptive editing

After working on some pages that TheriusRooney (talkcontribsdeleted contribsnuke contribslogsfilter logblock userblock log) has edited, I began to notice a trend with their edits. TheriusRooney either creates or edits existing pages by adding both needed and questionable information. TheriusRooney adds to automobile and racing car articles, placing large lists of highly technical data in a "Technical Specifications" section. Some examples: I worked on the Audi A4 DTM and Audi A5 DTM pages, which is where I first noticed the edits, then I went to the contribs page and saw this, this, and this. Most of this user's other edits are along this line. TheriusRooney has just over 1800 edits as of now, without creating a user page or ever replying once to a post on their talk page.

My dilemma is:
1. This extremely detailed information is not needed in the body of the article, just in the infobox categories. Should it be removed?
2. Would this be considered vandalism? I considered posting on that noticeboard, but had second thoughts and decided this was a better option.
3. As far as I can tell, never once does this user cite a source for all of this information. This is clearly an issue, and most likely a copy-and-paste situation. I also considered posting on the original research noticeboard, since this probably falls into that category.

Is this grounds for some sort of review or inquiry? I haven't reverted any edits, just cleaned the aforementioned Audi pages up a bit, so there is no edit war going on here. I just want to get a more experienced user's perspective on this situation. I feel like Rooney is making all of these edits and going unnoticed for it, and it seems fishy.

Thank You! Cheers --Stratocaster27t@lk 04:25, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some help would be appreciated on this issue, since TheriusRooney is continuing to do this at this very moment.--Stratocaster27t@lk 16:01, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's not vandalism. The user isn't required to make a user page. Have you attempted to communicate with them on their userpage? As far as content I can't say anything.

The description there also says that the user started using it two years before the post (46 weeks ago). Very conservatively that puts the posting around 2012.

Or it could just be a person who has a woeful (and common) misunderstanding of copyright. I don't see much in the way of "persistence"... though I do see yet another swatting of a fly with a sledgehammer.

Hmmm, there's hard proof of a hoax, have you got evidence of their being a clueless newbie? Do clueless newbies generally claim to own things that don't belong to them, regardless of what their state of knowledge of copyright law is? And as far as that goes, where's your evidence that the blocking admin took their action so that they could "feel mighty good"?

1) You'd be surprised what clueless newbies come up with... all sorts of weirdness due to their own misunderstanding of things and maybe a little immaturity thrown in. 2) Administrative sanctions, while necessary and welcome, should be used with discretion, moderation and (in these sort of cases) rarely as a solution of first resort. – JBarta (talk) 00:25, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree - per my comment above it wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume that the user is just mistaken. A block seems an incredibly heavy handed way of dealing with this; they were hardly causing disruption. Sam Walton (talk) 00:14, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At this point the person has been neither blocked nor warned... and she has neither repeated the claim on her talk page nor has she edit-warred over Sarek's reversion of the credits page. I suggest a warning and then see what happens. Neutron (talk) 00:57, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for causing confusion about blocking; I didn't mean to make it look like I'd blocked CeruleanSkye. My point was that the user should be informed that we know they're wrong and warned not to continue; if this kind of thing continues, we should warn them; and ultimately, we would need to block if nothing else worked. My main point was that a block potentially would be warranted, that we shouldn't necessarily consider it a bad idea. Nyttend (talk) 02:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bullying, intimidation, and ownership of articles

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I have made thousands of edits to city articles, and have added 159 new articles to Wikipedia. I feel I am a respected editor, and have never been censured or blocked. For the past month I have tried to contribute to articles about New Jersey, and have been repeatedly harassed by User:Alansohn If you look through my edit history, you will see that nearly every edit I have made to an article about New Jersey has within minutes been reverted or tinkered with by User:Alansohn. Sometimes his corrections were so sloppy they seemed almost made in haste, and I needed to go back and fix them (see Bear Tavern, New Jersey and Aserdaten, New Jersey). There real problem is that this sort of ownership and intimidation scares editors away from articles about New Jersey. I have twice reported to you his incivility and desire to "own" New Jersey articles, see here and here. He has left this edit summary for me last week. Today, when he was unhappy with one of my edits, he left a message on my talk page and concluded "You are operating in very dangerous territory here." Please take action against this editor with a long history of incivility. I edit on Wikipedia because I want to build an encyclopedia. No one on here deserves to be bullied and intimidated. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:16, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Magnolia677 is currently involved in his latest edit war in which he insists that there must be a standalone article for Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey. I have pointed out to him that the article is for a location that is exactly the same as Marlboro Township, New Jersey. I raised the issue on his talk page (here and here) and he refused to respond. I raised the same issue in more detail at User_talk:Tinton5 (here), and he again refused to provide any explanation, instead choosing to blindly undo the reverts before replying that the place appears on a map as his entire argument. He was bold and recreated a standalone article for Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey. I reverted the change and provided a rather clear explanation for my position based on the available data. Google maps and MapIt all seem to think that the GNIS point for this "other" Marlboro is at the southeast corner of Vanderburg Road and Hudson Street in Marlboro Township. There is no evidence that Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey is anything other than Marlboro Township, New Jersey. Per WP:BRD, I have tried to raise the issues rationally with Magnolia677 and encourage him to discuss, make his case and establish a new consensus overriding the longstanding status quo ante that has Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey as a redirect to Marlboro Township, New Jersey, as there seems to be no way to make it a meaningful independent article. His choice of action is to come to here to WP:ANI. Any suggestions? Alansohn (talk) 00:31, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If your position is that the Marlboro article is, in effect, a duplication of the Marlboro Township article, why not breing it to AfD and let a consensus decide, rather then repeatedly making the decision on your own? If it is as obvious as you say, then the outcome should be in your favor. BMK (talk) 00:58, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please recognize this "smokescreen" and look into my ongoing concern with this abusive editor. Thanks again. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:21, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:Beyond My Ken, the community finds it rather rude and disrespectful to go straight to deletion, even for articles like Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey that have no prayer of retention and will result in a redirect. Instead, WP:Deletion policy suggests trying to edit the article and trying to merge the content into another article. I've done my part, but User:Magnolia677 has refused to have address the issues and simply refuses to consider a merge. I am more than happy to pursue resolving this issue via WP:AFD, but the underlying problem of Magnolia677's refusal to work on a collaborative basis needs to be addressed. This is the third ANI he has initiated in just a few weeks and this is the third report that will go nowhere. It is well past time for Magnolia677 to face appropriate sanctions for this chronic disruption. Alansohn (talk) 03:01, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Going to AfD cannot possibly be more "rude and disrespectful" than deleting it yourself on your own. Let the community decide, that's what it's here for, to decide consensus, and what AfD is meant for. You may well be right, but pushing your opinion in the face of disagreement from another editor is not ideal. BMK (talk) 03:40, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can't delete anything, I'm not an administrator, but I can change a non-viable article back to a redirect, which is exactly what I did. You may want to speak to User:Magnolia677, who has refused to discuss per WP:BRD, blindly reverted his changes and than ran here -- for the third time -- to ANI. Alansohn (talk) 03:56, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't be disingenuous, converting an article to a redirect is tantamount to deleting it. BMK (talk) 04:28, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was tempted to take some sort of action here, but I ought to be considered involved, as I've had enough encounters with Alansohn of the same sort as what's being mentioned here. Part of the problem is that Alansohn appears to come into everything NJ-related almost immediately after its creation, e.g. doing big makeovers on Aserdaten about ½ day after its creation and Bear Tavern about ½ hour after its. Yes, big makeovers can be helpful, but by coming in so soon, without discussion or explanation (I see nothing on either talk page, and Alansohn's first comment about Aserdaten on Magnolia's talk page came after most of the edits were made. If you've looked at many of these NJ place articles, you'll understand what Alansohn means about the standards (they're pretty much all formatted the same way, so it's unhelpful to have exceptions without good reason), but as far as I can see, the standards are simply mentioned without explanation or even offers to explain. Meanwhile, look at Marlboro: no discussions at Talk:Marlboro Township, New Jersey or Talk:Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey, and everything in the final sections of User talk:Magnolia677 and User talk:Tinton5 makes it appear that Alansohn doesn't understand what's going on, and when it's explained to him in simple terms, simply contradicts and continues saying what's already been disproven. Magnolia provides clear evidence that community and township are different concepts, but Alansohn repeats what he said before, along with an obviously false claim that the community is a point, not a community. Even here, we see the same attitude: outside of New Jersey, community articles of this sort are routine in the USA, but Alansohn assumes that the community will back up his highly unusual idea. Part of the issue, of course, is a content dispute over whether community and township ought to have separate articles, but regardless of whether they ought to be separate, Alansohn is enforcing a local standard without obvious explanation, ignoring or discounting explanations given by Magnolia, and so badly demonstrating ownership that he assumes that his highly idiosyncratic approach to this situation is based in the community consensus with which he is actually so greatly at variance. Nyttend (talk) 03:58, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Are not the "standards" for NJ articles ones which Alansohn created himself? That, at least, is how I interpret "I am looking to create a structure to load expanded information into pages for all of New Jersey's 566 municipalities" from his talk page. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but – just as with the Manual of Style, which ArbCom has told us should not be treated as if it was immutable policy – standards, guidelines and consistent formatting should never get in the way of presenting the specific material in a specific article in the best possible way. BMK (talk) 04:34, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I tried the remove the categories he created and then insisted on adding to the "notable people' section of New Jersey articles. Look at the nightmare I faced here, here, and here. Magnolia677 (talk) 05:36, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:NE2 raised the issue at AfD (see here) that I should support the deletion of other, similar place articles where there is no assertion other than the fact that it exists, such as Beacon Hill, New Jersey. I'm no fan at all of such articles, but I'm extremely reluctant to delete such articles as there appears a legitimate chance that they might have room for expansion. For a Marlboro / Marlboro Township pair there seems to be little likelihood that there is anything to distinguish the two, there seems to be no benefit to having an independent article and this has been the status quo / consensus for nearly ten years and I had nothing to do with that redirect. I've reached out to Magnoli677, encouraged him to state his case, and all he has done to back up his edit war is state that it exists. Feel free to disagree, but trying to use an edit to my user page from nine years ago as an argument seems to be something of a stretch. Alansohn (talk) 05:31, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Reached out?? A week ago you told me it was "time to cut the crap and learn to work collaboratively". Magnolia677 (talk) 05:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After much arbitrary deletion on your part, you were dragged to Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and navigation templates, where the result was "My independent input is that Magnolia677 seems to essentially concede your points in favor of including the cat link." (see here), and that included having a shill chime in on your behalf after a rather blatant WP:CANVASS violation on your part here. You win some, you lose some, but your approach of trying to get your way but edit warring, refusing to discuss and running to ANI is not how Wikipedia works. Alansohn (talk) 06:05, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alansohn: what harm are these articles on real communities doing? If you were interested in improving our information on places, you would at the very least merge any independent information into the township article, rather than simply redirecting.

As for the specific example of Marlboro, this appears to be older than the township itself (for those unfamiliar with NJ government, townships are somewhere between counties and towns/cities, comprising areas of the state that have not been otherwise incorporated). http://www.marlboro-nj.gov/DOCUMENTS/Master_Plan_Re-exam_adopted_July_2012.pdf has some information for expanding the article about the unincorporated community (search for 'village'). http://www.marlboro-nj.gov/DOCUMENTS/Marlboro-Community-Vision-Plan.pdf (p. 41) shows that there is a defined "Marlboro Village Historic District", so it does have boundaries (not that such things are required to be a notable place). --NE2 04:05, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My abilities to edit Wikipedia have been severely restricted lately by personal circumstance, so I am often unable to follow or respond on this page (Mostly seeing Wikipedia on my phone, and this page is usually too large for my phone to load), but much of the problems Magnolia is experiencing with Alansohn started a bit prior to his edit drive on small NJ places (for which I applaud him. Stubs on tiny communities are a very useful addition here. They allow someone who may know of some obscure sources a place to "build up" info that they may have otherwise just not shared). Magnolia backed me up on some edits removing COI from St. Augustine Preparatory School. Alansohn took exception to this action by myself and Magnolia and brought his argument to my talk page here. After repeated back and forths regarding the edits (my position being that the editor was an indisputable COI editor and the quality of her edits were of a secondary concern to that. His being that the edits were good and so should remain.) in which he refused to address the COI issue and only would talk about the quality of the edits, I asked him in no uncertain terms to quit wasting my time as we were obviously not going to agree (keep in mind, this is on my talk page). He refused to respect that so I told him on his talk page to leave me alone and stay off my talk page, while telling him I would be more than happy to discuss any edit with him on any article talk page (here). I was not the most polite with him at that time...in fact I was a bit rude. After re-factoring my comment on his talk page here he did leave me alone for a while, until the 1st of December, when he stalked me to a brand new users talk page here, and then again appeared on my talk page, insisting on debating something with me on my talk page. Alansohn seems very confused as to the respective uses of article and user talk pages, and the accepted method for obtaining consensus here on Wikipedia (see above and here). Referencing the archived discussion mentioned above, Alansohn's notion that he might ever get to see the content of any email and his attitude that Magnolia and I discussing a similar problem we had both had with him was somehow actionable here is very indicative of the attitude all the rest of Wikipedia is dealing with from Alansohn. It is telling that there has been no-one, in either of the discussions here that has come forward to defend him. As a member of the Editor Retention project, I find his attitude of ownership and self importance (witness the above referenced intrusion on a brand new user's talk to make a point with me) to be very destructive to recruitment and retention of new users and his ownership of all things New Jersey to be destructive overall to our coverage of US places. I know I have not behaved as well as I could here either, and will accept a sanction for it without complaint if you feel it needed. But when I get maybe two hours a week to actually use a PC and try to do some substantive editing (the phone interface sucks) it is very frustrating to have to waste my time dealing with the fallout of some other editor's overblown ego. I don't care if Alansohn has 400,000 edits, 4 edits or 4 million edits: his behavior is detrimental to the community as a whole. John from Idegon (talk) 20:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article for St. Augustine Preparatory School is instructive. User:John from Idegon took it upon himself to arbitrarily remove content from the article and to restore content that he knew full well was incorrect, inaccurate and out of date, without taking any action to distinguish between edits that improved the article and edits that might potentially be problematic. For someone who claims to be deeply involved in "editor retention", John from Idegon has consistently demonstrated an inability to work with users to keep and add content, instead preferring to remove content with often inappropriate warnings, which seem designed in every way possible to discourage new editors from participating. It is this kind of arrogant attitude that leads to discouraging editor retention, from both new and experienced editors. It's no surprise that User:John from Idegon has shown up here, acting again as a shill for User:Magnolia677; the two do an excellent job of covering for each other's actions (see here for a pair of edits from Magnolia677 to help out John from Idegon). I can't imagine anyone having the gall to compare an editor to Adolf Hitler, but if this edit is an example of User:John from Idegon's editor retention efforts, we're all screwed: "The only editor that is not going to be retained is ME. I have had my fill of arrogant pricks like the asshole above. He stalks me to a brand new editors talk page, addresses a venomious message to me there and doesn't even say boo, good morning or get fucked to the editor whose page it is and I AM THE ONE BEING ORDERED BY YOU TO RESPOND? Fuck this. I've told him to stay off my talk page and it is my understanding that is to be honored. Another editor told him if he doesn't like the guideline he has said he doesn't think needs to be followed he should address his concerns there. What a crock of shit. I have nothing but respect for you, 7 and 6, and it puzzles me why you would get involved in this. But I am done with this. Zigheil, mein Fuhrer Sohn." If this is how WP:Editor retention works, we have bigger problems here than I ever imagined. Alansohn (talk) 21:17, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alan, the quote you provided clearly states that you yourself violated a very clear behavioral standard in continuing to post on a user's talk page after being told not to. If you believe an editor using admittedly over-the-top language to describe someone who apparently by his actions took it upon himself to violate basic standards of decorum is generally unacceptable, I might not disagree, but that behavior was apparently brought on by similarly unacceptable violation of decorum, in this case your own, and that should be taken into account. Your conduct in this matter does give the impression of being problematic. Having said that, the conduct of some others doesn't seem to be conduct which they would want the teacher to tell mommy about either. You do not have the right you seem to believe you have to violate conduct guidelines. I think that much of the problem is at least in part based on your own conduct, and your apparent refusal to engage in reasonable discourse. I don't have any reason to think the specific article on Marlboro Township necessarily qualifies for inclusion either, but unilaterally turning it into a redirect without any apparent discussion isn't proper either. I believe the time has come, perhaps, for you to recognize that your conduct includes some problems that are far bigger than you seem to have ever imagined, and that the time may have come for you to act in a more genuinely cooperative manner than that you seem to have often displayed to date. John Carter (talk) 21:30, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I first approached User:John from Idegon after he removed extensive edits from the article for St. Augustine Preparatory School (see here), in which I couldn't have been more polite in suggesting that there might be a better way to deal with the situation. John from Idegon responded here with a bad faith personal attack. Sure he's merely a passive agressive jerk, who demands that I respond reach out to him and say hello on his talk page and then goes bezerk when I do. But there is no excuse for John from Idegon's for "Zigheil, mein Fuhrer Sohn" and even John from Idegon seems to recognize that it crosses a line, but it takes a special kind of person like a User:John Carter to rationalize one of the most unacceptable personal attacks I have ever seen. If changing a contentless article back to the redirect it was for nine years "isn't proper" but "Zigheil, mein Fuhrer Sohn" is acceptable behavior that you are willing to condone, we're far more screwed up than I've ever imagined. Alansohn (talk) 23:57, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alansohn, you seem fixated on the fact that because an article has been redirected for nine years, then it is set in stone. Time changes stuff on Wikipedia you know. I mean, look at all the disruptive editing you were blocked for just six years ago. You've changed, right?

Again with your egocentric attitude. I thought my implication was clear but since it's not I will just flat out say it. Wikipedia would have much less problems retaining editors if the likes of you were not here. If Magnolia and I in totally separate instances at totally separate times experienced your bullying ownership attitude and at least one other editor (an admin BTW) also has, I would have to say it needs to be treated like the police treat child molesters. If we know of three times there are probably 300 more. You may have made 400,000 edits, but that includes all your posting to people's talk pages. Just how much of it is constructive? I would gladly trade all of your work to get you censured so you quit driving off new users who are capable of understanding that Wikipedia is not going to work the same way now, with over 4 million articles and 10,000 editors as it did when you started editing and there were a few hundred thousand articles and less than 1000 editors. Times change. You are absolutely refusing to. What is your explanation for taking a dump all over that new editor's talk page, where you were not involved and he was not involved with you? You did not even mention the editor whose talk page it was at all. How can that be anything other than stalking and bullying? And how totally rude of you to totally ignore the poor brand new guy who is left staring with his tongue out going, " WTF just happened?" Here's a piece of news for you, Alansohn. Neither I, nor any other editor in all of Wikipedia ever has to talk to you. NEVER. Yet you have repeatedly posted on my talk page, even though you were told to stay away, that I must talk to you. You have done the same on Magnolia's talk page. My personal opinion is that there is no value whatsoever in retaining editors like you. My efforts are at intercepting the new ones that get thrown in with us lions and no chair and try to give them some tools to survive. Mainly, anymore, that includes giving them the tools to survive the likes of you. You bent me out of shape, and I reacted poorly. I will not apologize to you, but I will gladly apologize to the rest of the community. However when you come to my talk page and demand things, AFTER YOU WERE TOLD TO STAY AWAY, you should probably expect a less than stellar welcome. And just so you are absolutely clear, Alansohn...I would applaud you leaving Wikipedia forever and have absolutely no intention of doing one single thing that will promote YOUR retention. You are about the only one I will say that about at this time. It is only useful editors that are willing to work with each other that I have any interest in retaining, and that will remain one of my main concentrations here. I will gladly agree to leave Alansohn alone, as long as that does not mean I cannot continue to work on school and place articles in New Jersey. I am probably not going to be able to respond here again this week. Ping me if a response is imperative and I will find someone to proxy post for me. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 00:18, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And just as you find the over the top, but categorically accurate comparison to the dictator Adolph Hitler unacceptable, I find your use of the word "shill" to describe any of my edits to be yet more of your uncivil bullshit. I guess since you have undoubtedly driven off any allies you ever had here, you find it impossible that two editors would share similar beliefs and edit cooperatively on subjects they share interest in. An action that is not, BTW, against the rules unless there is canvassing, which is not the case. I have many articles on my watchlist that Magnolia has on his. I also have many articles that Nyttend or Kudpung have on their watchlists and tend to edit those articles in a similar manner. Does that make me their shills? Or are they mine? Or are you just being the egocentric jerk we all know you are? John from Idegon (talk) 00:41, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would propose that Alansohn be topic banned from any article related to New Jersey for a period of three months. I would further propose that he issue a heartfelt apology to the poor new user that got caught in his tirade toward me. I will gladly take the standard 24 hour Civility block for my calling up of Hitler's name...that was completely unacceptable. Perhaps after three months his attitude of ownership will wear off. John from Idegon (talk) 00:56, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please notice how quickly Alansohn redirected Fair Play, New Jersey, without so much as a talk page discussion. In one edit summary there he stated "article has no content and should not be created until genuinely useful content can be added". Yet on dozens of other New Jersey geo stubs created from nothing more than a GNIS reference, he is happy to add some minor tweek and not redirect (as if to say, "Alansohn has been here"). See, for example, Cedar Run, New Jersey, Millhurst, New Jersey, and Georgia, New Jersey. For goodness sake, Gilford Park, New Jersey doesn't have ANY sources and he was happy to add his name to the list of page editors! This is nothing but bully behavior. All I've tried to do is add some new articles to New Jersey, and I've had nothing but intimidation and bullying. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:01, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GEOLAND, the notability guideline that applies to geographic features, states that "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG. Examples may include subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc. – any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally-recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it." The Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey article that User:Magnolia677 recreated -- after over nine years as a redirect -- contained a single source and no content other than a pair of roadways. The single source provided offers nothing more than a one-dimensional point. In no way, shape or form did this article have any of the "non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources" required by policy. Magnolia677 couldn't even bother to explain where in the county this place was located, nor could he explain how this one-dimensional point differed from the parent article for Marlboro Township, New Jersey, an article with more than 250 sources that made no mention of a same-named hamlet within the township or the existence of a "Marlboro Village". Given that there seemed to be little likelihood of this article ever distinguishing itself from its parent, a reinstatement of the redirect seems to be more than approrpriate. I would have gladly merged any content into the parent article for Marlboro Township, New Jersey, but there was none. Both users have several years and tens of thousands of edits under their belts. Both of them ought to be vaguely familiar with the fundamental Wikipedia policy that makes Intercourse, Pennsylvania notable -- the existence of ample reliable and verifiable coverage included in the article -- and explains why there are no articles for Mule Piss, Minnesota or Ass Wipe, Arkansas. The existence of a bare GNIS entry does nothing more than provide the possibility that an article might be created that meets the notability standard. Nor does it seem that User:Magnolia677 understands that making AWB edits to articles -- such as Cedar Run, New Jersey, Millhurst, New Jersey, and Georgia, New Jersey, or any other such article -- hardly constitutes a seal of approval, nor the fact that WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS doesn't make any equally crappy article notable. I'm still not sure what it is about an editor pointing out the most basic failure to create articles with reliable and verifiable sources that drives people like User:Magnolia677 to run to ANI at the drop of a hat. Nor can I understand how this edit trying to explain that sourced content should not be deleted can turn folks like User:John from Idegon into fits of insanity that justify calling me Adolf Hitler, a madman who murdered tens of millions of people, though maybe Hitler also allowed editors with a potential WP:COI conflict to add useful contents to articles. Alansohn (talk) 05:16, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"On a case-by-case basis" means via a community consensus discussion, not by the decision of a single editor who appears to be predisposed to reject communities as non-notable unless he personally is involved in the creation or writing of the article about them. Articles about New Jersey communities are not Alansohn's private domain, and being bold only goes so far. If disagreement with Alansohn's bold actions arises, he needs to open a consensus discussion, and not to step up his pushback efforts, as he has done here. All of his comments here are positively dripping with an ownership mentality, in this case not for a single article, but for a class of articles. BMK (talk) 11:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Convenience break

If this is strictly about behavior, not about content disagreements, then the example of the history of the Fair Play, New Jersey article does give a sense that some basic issues exist. It's not a good idea to redirect unilaterally in the manner shown in the history after being invited to discuss on the talk page. This is the kind of thing that should be discouraged, because it doesn't look like great behavior no matter what the issue is with the content.__ E L A Q U E A T E 15:13, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

TLDR. It's a fact that Marlboro Village is a small place within the huge Marlboro Township. --NE2 19:20, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ex post facto that's an excellent argument, but the article was created on a standalone basis solely based on the existence of an entry in GNIS, nothing more. The issue was raised to Magnolia677 on three separate occasions asking what the difference was between Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey and Marlboro Township, New Jersey and Magnolia677 offered no answer. Marlboro Village does appear to exist, but it was never mentioned before in a parent article with more than 250 references, appears in only four sources (per Google, none of which are in-depth) and was discovered only after the fact. The standard to redirect to the parent article for such places is longstanding and you are one of the editors who helped establish that consensus. If only Magnolia677 had done the research you had done and had added the source to establish that the two places are not identical, there would be no issue. But as it stood when it was created as a standalone article by Magnolia677, Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey only included two dozen words and a single source. I am merely one of dozens of editors -- you among them -- who have set the consensus that such articles should be redirects. Alansohn (talk) 19:37, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"appears in only four sources" - entirely false. Here's one of many sources that use the disambiguated "Marlboro Village" form of the place name: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/legacies/NJ/200003335.html
"you are one of the editors who helped establish that consensus"[citation needed] --NE2 20:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at the section you TLDR'ed, where you were among the editors who ensured that articles in the format "placename, couny, New Jersey" were turned into redirects. "appears in only four sources" is entirely accurate; Just click on the source I provided. You've dug up some sources that mention a "Marlboro Village", but this source is a great source about the Marlboro Tree, but only mentions Marlboro Village in passing. That's why the Marlboro Township article has a section for the Marlboro Tree, but not for Marlboro Village. Again, you've found some potential sources for an article for a Marlboro Village Historic District, but this source was found after the fact and my recommendation would be to start it as a section within the Marlboro Township, New Jersey article. Alansohn (talk) 20:37, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Just click on the source I provided" - I see no source provided by you, only a Google search in which you deliberately used the Marlboro Village Historic District form to produce fewer results.
If you mean my creation of Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, that's a perfect example of you refusing to accept that Marlboro (Village) is a separate place. Nobody has ever claimed that there's a separate place within the city of Jersey City called Jersey City. But there is a Marlboro (Village) within Marlboro Township, water is wet, the Pope shits in the woods, and the climate is warming. --NE2 20:42, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After the fact, you've done a fantastic job. Credit where credit is due. But I did several searches for "Marlboro Village" and those come up with more than 20,000 sources, none of which talk about a section of Marlboro Township. Your best source is about a tree. Where are the in-depth independent sources and where were they when the article was created? Why do you refuse to accept the fact that my objection to the standalone article was based on my good faith search for sources, which found none? Alansohn (talk) 20:55, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
None of this addresses my point. Redirecting a page three times in the face of requests to discuss is not great behavior, no matter the rationale. It doesn't matter how wrong you think the other editor was. __ E L A Q U E A T E 19:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, it does. After dealing with User:Magnolia677 at Fair Play, New Jersey, I learned my lesson and did exactly what anyone could possibly have asked me to do. After he turned Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey into a standalone article, I explicitly reached out to Magnolia677 on three separate occasions here, here and in greater detail here), clearly laying out my concerns that there was no apparent way to distinguish between the two Marlboros, based on my re-reading of the article and my review of the potential available sources. I made the good faith effort to reach out and discuss as required by WP:BRD, Magnolia677 refused to do so. If my reaching out regarding this article justifies User:Magnolia677's running off here to ANI or for User:John from Idegon's utterly repugnant "Zigheil, mein Fuhrer Sohn", I'm not sure what I did wrong here or why these "not great behaviors" by both of these editors are being ignored. I've changed, and I look forward to Magnolia677 starting to be a constructive partner in dialogue when he seeks to overturn broad consensus on such redirects. Alansohn (talk) 19:53, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(One of those three separate occasions just looks like you added a link to comment you made five minutes earlier.) The Hitler comment's horrible, but that's not something you can lay at Magnolia677's feet or use to justify anything that happened before it or separate from your own earlier talk page etiquette. If you've changed, then great; the only long-term goal is productive non-disruption. It did look like you were acting unilaterally before, on a good faith assumption you were right. Your claim Magnolia677 refused to do so doesn't look completely supportable, as those good faith "reaching out"s you reference seem to have had responses and discussions when you made them.__ E L A Q U E A T E 20:35, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I note that John from Idgeon proposed a three-month topic ban on Alansohn here. No one seems to have directly responded to that proposal yet. It raises the question whether there are sufficient bases to consider sanctions of some kind in this matter or not. John Carter (talk) 19:49, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:John from Idegon? He calls other editors Hitler ("Zigheil, mein Fuhrer Sohn") and he's the one who's coming up with sanctions. Perchance do you have any prior connection to User:John from Idegon that you would want to disclose? Alansohn (talk) 20:37, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, you got me. John from Idegon is the conjoined twin of my secret male concubine (as opposed to my out-in-the-open male concubine the Marlboro Man). --NE2 20:43, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nicely done, but I think that User:John Carter may have a clearer conflict that he ought to disclose. Alansohn (talk) 20:55, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On what evidence? That the usernames share the letters "ohn"?__ E L A Q U E A T E
Considering that I have from the beginning, back when my user name was warlordjohncarter, made it clear that the name was taken as an homage to the Edgar Rice Burroughs character, I also find myself forced to question even the possible basic rationality of this accusation. Alan, displaying what some might not unreasonably consider blind paranoia is in no way helpful to you in this matter. John Carter (talk) 21:03, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You know, my younger brother's middle name is John, so maybe he's a sock of John from Idegon too! Of course, he doesn't edit Wikipedia (a wise choice on his part), so maybe not. BMK (talk) 21:21, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Funny, but Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention includes some recent conversations between User:John Carter and User:John from Idegon, who not only both are John's but seem to be part of a mutual admiration society. I do give credit to John from Idegon for this edit, where he talks of himself as the very model for "Editor of the Year" based on his work as "an editor that wonks around and neatens and cleans like myself" but begs off based on his "recent poor behavior". So, the two of you never met before or is there at least a legitimate WP:COI that ought to be acknowledged? Alansohn (talk) 21:23, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for effectively proving beyond any shadow of a doubt, at least to my eyes, that the question of paranoia I raised before is a rather valid one regarding your conduct. In all honesty, I had forgotten John edited on those pages myself. In all honesty, I didn't even place the name until you just now brought it up. This transparent continuation of the frankly irrational behavior of yours which led to this thread being started in the first place raises I believe even stronger questions regarding your capacity to function in a collaborative environment. And, for what it is worth, no, to the best of my knowledge, I have never met any other wikipedia editors in any capacity. I have actually made it a bit of a point to avoid any meetings myself, partially because they tend to be rather far removed from where I live, which is Saint Louis, Missouri, and, partially, because I actually don't see much productive in them. The fact that you continue your stupid harping on the acknowledged misconduct of others while at the same time continuing your own habit of grossly unacceptable conduct Makes me believe that there is a very strong possibility that the only way to stop your indulging in the kind of unacceptable behavior which led to this thread being started would be some form of sanctions against you. John Carter (talk) 21:42, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
ANI isn't SPI, and this is such a silly looking accusation that I can only see it hurting the accuser. If you're not going to make an actual accusation, then please stop this, as it's a goofy distraction. __ E L A Q U E A T E 21:35, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe that Alansohn is trying to spin some kind of COI out of this totally innocuous discussion. It doesn't even fit his description of it as a "mutual admiration society", since other editors were involved and the two Johns barely even referred to each other. BMK (talk) 21:43, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn, some advice:

  • (1) Stop posting extremely long blocks of text, divide your comments up into digestible paragraphs, otherwise few people are going to read what you have to say.
  • (2) Stop obsessing about John from Idegon's repugnant remark. He shouldn't have said it, but having said it doesn't invalidate his points concerning your behavior.
  • (3) Stop taking upon yourself the sole burden of deciding what happens to New Jersey community articles. There's a Wikipedia community out there which will decide, you must allow them to. Sometimes you'll be right, sometimes you'll be wrong, the world won't end either way.
  • (4) Start taking some responsibility for the behavior which has been reported here. You say you've changed from 2009, when you received a number of blocks, but the behavior we're reading about right now seems very similar to that behavior.
  • (5) Stop lashing out at everyone who criticizes you, it makes you look very bad, which is not a good thing on ANI, since it can lead to unwanted results.

BMK (talk) 21:31, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And since I just read your comment above, (6) Stop finding conspiracies in the perfectly normal Wikipedia activities of other editors. This report is not about everyone else, it's about you, and if you don't calm down and deal with the problems which have been brought out here, you're likely to be sanctioned in some way, which I assume you don't want. BMK (talk) 21:34, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Beyond My Ken - (1) I have addressed the issues raised here.
    • (2) I've demonstrated that I made a good faith effort to find sources to demonstrate that Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey was different from Marlboro Township, New Jersey and that none were found.
    • (3) I've provided links to three separate edits in two different places where I reached out to User:Magnolia677 and made my case per WP:GEOLAND that articles for such places need to have "non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources." and that '"If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally-recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it."
    • (4) I've provided links showing that several other editors -- other than me -- have turned articles in the "placename, countyname, New Jersey" format into redirects.
    • (5) I've shown that User:Magnolia677 made no effort to make a case that the Marlboro, Monmouth County, New Jersey was different from Marlboro Township, New Jersey before starting this ANI, which raises the appearance of bad faith.
    • (6) I've provided links showing that I have dealt openly and honestly with Magnolia677 and learned from the situation with Fair Play, New Jersey.
    • (7) I acknowledge that the sources User:NE2 has found might well have been an effective argument for an independent article, but that I had no foreknowledge of such sources.
    • I hope that I have addressed your issues and I hope that Magnolia677 will start working on a collaborative basis in the future, much as I have tried to do so. Alansohn (talk) 22:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, actually, you have sidestepped the most important one again with your final comment: it's not about other editors, it's about you. If you can't give some believeable assurances that you're going to deal with other editors and their work in a less imperious and entitled manner, then I'm going to have no choice but to support sanctions against you. BMK (talk) 22:11, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! I've struggled as to how to participate in this conversation...I just want to comment that I have appreciated the contributions of Magnolia677, Alansohn, and John from Idegon. All have put in considerable time and effort, but this has gotten out of hand. Alansohn, I agree with the crowd here that you "own" New Jersey. You've made great contributions in that area, but you need to accept the value of other editors work. Magnolia677 and John, if you don't regret some of your comments already you surely will soon. I think maybe everyone ought to take a week away from New Jersey articles to cool off, then try to find some common ground and a positive way to move forward. All three of you are too good to waste your skills fighting among yourselves. Again, thanks to all of you for your many fine contributions to Wikipedia. Jacona (talk) 22:11, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosure: John Carter and myself are the only two members of an inactive Wikiproject on Southern Gospel Music. I guess that means we must be the guys on the grassy knoll, eh? I agree completely that this thread is rapidly spinning down the toilet, being pushed by a plunger in Alansohn's hand.
Just one last thing: Several miles ago in this thread, I clearly stated that accessing this page is difficult for me and asked that if my attention was required, that someone ping me. Since that time, Alansohn has pinged me no less than 5 times, and absolutely none of it required my attention. Not that my personal situation matters, but let me explain it as so to shed some light on what problems Alansohn's attitude and demanding nature can cause. I am visually impaired and cannot drive. I am also in the midst of some economic hardships and cannot afford to have an internet connection in my home. So, because of Alansohn's persistent harassment of me via pinging, I took the time and effort to walk the 3 miles I need to travel to reach a PC that I can use. All to hear of myself being a sockpuppet and to rehash my prior bad actions which I had admitted to and apologized to the community for. I even indicated my willingness to take any punishment the community saw fit. I am sorry, but his behavior is what gets swept up after the parade is done and nothing more. He needs to be stepped on to teach him a lesson. John from Idegon (talk) 22:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And now, since I am done with anything constructive that can be added here, I am going to take some of my limited time on a PC and do what supposedly we are all here to do...I am going to go work on an encyclopedia that people can use for a while. Something I have been able to do very little for the past month, primarily due to the repeated interruptions from Alansohn demanding that I deal with his issues. Yes I lost my cool. It was not the right thing to do. In form it was very poor behavior, but in substance it was right on the mark. Alansohn's demanding behavior is obviously being perceived by others in the same light as I perceived it...dictatorial. It is well beyond time for the community to decide what to do about it. John from Idegon (talk) 22:50, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed sanctions against Alansohn

I note once again that another editor has proposed sanctions against Alansohn, specifically a three-month topic ban, above. I also note that the behavior of Alansohn in this thread itself seems to be primarily a continuation of the behavior which led to this thread being started, and that between his previous behavior and his current conduct here the basis for thinking that perhaps the only way to end his disruptive and unacceptable behavior is a short sanction. I would with reservations, as someone who actually doesn't know New Jersey related content very well, I suppose support such sanctions. John Carter (talk) 21:50, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Other John, I am in agreement, however I still think, especially in the light of the harassing behavior illustrated above, that a short block should be included, and perhaps a strong message that further obstructive behavior such as these TLDR diatribes, answering discussion points by changing the subject, jumping in on uninvolved editor's pages to wage his (sorry, no better word comes to mind) vendetta, refusing requests to leave an editor alone or to end a discussion when asked, etc. will be dealt with with escalating sanctions. John from Idegon (talk) 22:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(1) I have learned how to develop better tactics to deal with Magnolia677 since Fair Play, New Jersey
(2) After a lengthy discussion about the use of see also categories, we had a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and navigation templates, where we were able to reach a consensus. Not perfect, but a consensus.
(3) I have raised no issues with any articles Magnolia677 has created since Fair Play, and my issue with Marlboro was based on genuine, good faith concerns.
(4) In the Marlboro article, I reached out to Magnolia677 and tried to make my case for discussion where other, knowledgeable editors could provide input.
(5) I have pinged John from Idegon, as required where mentions are made, and I had no idea what the effect was on him based on computer access. Sorry.
(6) I don't own any article -- let alone any state. Nobody does. Alansohn (talk) 22:41, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
None of which addresses the concerns regarding the conduct which led to the current discussion, or, unfortunately, the content of much of your commentary here. Or, perhaps, the rather dubious thinking which seems to have been involved in the creation of the commentary here. John Carter (talk) 22:48, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alansohn, with regard to #2..."we were able to reach a consensus" at Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and navigation templates. You invited input to deal with a dispute, then called my input a "failure", and denounced another editor's input as "rambling nonsense". Get real man. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:42, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Diffs, Magnolia? How do the words "failure" and "rambling nonsense" count as worse than, "shaking my head" and "get real man"? μηδείς (talk) 02:55, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Are you seriously unfamiliar with the everyday usage of "shaking my head" and "get real man"? Not to mention that your argument is a complete red herring. Blackmane (talk) 03:44, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I suggest that Medeis is just trying to muddy the waters here, to distract our attention from focusing on Alansohn's behavior. BMK (talk) 03:58, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I concur. Blackmane (talk) 05:24, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary break

This whole dispute seems to have more than one kicking horse, and based on the fact that there's more than one person outlining heavy paragraphs of text and giving almost passive aggressive edits, it wouldn't seem right to sanction any single editor, excluding all other disruption within this topic area. Given that, there does seem to be some conflict in the form of a content dispute--I recommend WP:DRN or mediation for settling this. Often times, personal behavior disputes stem from content disputes, and once that content dispute is resolved, it ultimately resolves the personal behavior dispute as well. Tutelary (talk) 22:53, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So because more than one person is wrong, we do nothing? Resolving this one content question (which BTW, I am not substantially involved in) will NOT in any way solve the problem of the long term poor behavior of the very long term editor who certainly should know better. At least one of the content dispute articles is at AfD. How will DRN assist in that? AfD will determine the communities position on that particular article, which should speak to the others as well, but Alansohn will not accept that historical AfD results speak to the community's desires. Place stubs are not an issue anywhere else in the United States except New Jersey. They are an issue in New jersey solely due to Alansohn. Just what is DRN supposed to do about that? There isn't even one specific article to have DRN on. The issue is Alansohn's inability to understands that he is beating a dead horse on a subject that the community has already spoken on. John from Idegon (talk) 23:17, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here's what I propose. (1) Alansohn be indefinitely prohibited from conversion of geographical articles to redirects, be they in New Jersey or elsewhere. If he has a problem with the notability of any such piece, his correct course of action is hauling the piece in question to AfD for decision by others. (2) Anticipating a possible problem, Alansohn be indefinitely prohibited from making multiple notability challenges to lists of what he feels to be problematic articles — one article per AfD. (3) Everybody who needs a trout for edit warring, consider yourselves slapped. Carrite (talk) 23:39, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would accept that as a reasonable solution, but will remain skeptical that it will end the issue. Alansohn needs to accept that Historic AfD decisions and broad article guidelines do represent the community's wishes, even if he did not participate in the discussions that formed them and learn what to do if he does not like said guidelines (engage in discussion to change them, not slug it out on each individual article. That wastes everyone's time). John from Idegon (talk) 00:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Support Carrite's proposal. It may or may not solve the problem in the long run, but it is a good faith attempt to solve the problem in the short run. Should it prove insufficient to resolve any long term problems, the evidence of that might be enough to make it reasonable to take other steps. John Carter (talk) 01:19, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • "indefinite".....reminds me of "double secret probation" from the movie "Animal House". An "indefinite" sanction is what you would expect from a judge in a totalitarian state. I think any sanctions should be short and definite in term. The object should be to gain recognition that there is a problem, thus changing behavior, not to humiliate a prolific contributor or declare some sort of "victory". Jacona (talk) 02:15, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • If Jacona does not like the specific remedy being proposed I recommend they suggest a specific alternative. NE Ent 02:22, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • In the context of wikipedia, indefinite means simply that there is no set deadline. An indefinite sanction can be extended, theoretically, into infinity, or it can be removed altogether upon demonstration of good behavior. In some cases, that can last three months or less. It is all, basically, left up to the individual involved. John Carter (talk) 02:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose As someone very familiar with New Jersey who has come across many articles edited and maintained by Alansohn I commend him for his tireless work. I have never witnessed anything but well-reasoned behavior. The Marlboro dispute is absurd, and Alansohn was on the right side of it. Other than the Marlboro dispute, there are no diffs or links above to support any sort of sanction, let alone an indefinite one. (The one mistake I do see by him is defending himself too vigorously: "the behavior of Alansohn in this thread itself"; it's meat before lions.) There should be no discussion of any sentencing until the evidence is presented, this isn't Stalin's talk page where we accuse people of vague crimes and convict them because they defend themselves vigorously. Let's see the damning evidence. μηδείς (talk) 02:35, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • What, someone on one side of the issue references Hitler and gets taken to task for it, so you, on the other side of the issue, feel you have to reference Stalin? Nice choice, that, really good judgment on your part.

      There have been no accusations of "vague crimes", there's been specific evidence presented of particular behavioral problems, to which Alansohn has actually offered no defense, while continuing to attack others, which is what he's been doing "vigorously". In other words, your entire comment is flawed and inaccurate. BMK (talk) 02:51, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Diffs? Twice in this sanctions section John Carter has referred to the problem of Alansohn's daring to defend himself here in words John apparently doesn't like. But defending yourself from accusations is not proof of guilt. As for Hitler, he didn't go in much for show trials. μηδείς (talk) 03:00, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Diffs"? What would you like, diffs of there being "no accusations of vague crimes", or diffs of Alansohn "offering no defense"? As for Alansohn vigorously attacking, I suppose I could give you diffs of that, but it seems a little silly, considering that it's this very discussion we're talking about, and you could just, you know, read it. Besides, if I work up some diffs for you, I have the feeling that next you'll be asking for diffs of me posting the diffs. BMK (talk) 04:09, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Hitler/show trials" - You're not serious, right? You've forgotten the trials presided over by the fanatical Nazi judge Roland Freisler, who screamed at the defendants in the "People's Court", practically foaming at the mouth? In particular the trials connected to the 20 July plot?

In any case, you've missed the point entirely. A mention of Hitler by someone else doesn't require a mention of Stalin by you, as both references poison the well, and your point could have been made in a much less prejudicial manner. Wikipedia is not a nation, it's not a democracy, and this is not a show trial; indeed it's not a trial at all, it's a discussion among peers about a problem that's been brought to the community's attention. Try to use some better judgement in the future. BMK (talk) 03:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning Stalin is a non-issue; describing me personally, by name, as a Nazi is a very serious violation of basic decency. Calling an editor Adolf Hitler is probably the most disgusting, repugnant and uncivil personal attack I have ever seen; Nothing I have ever said or done justifies it. "Zigheil, mein Fuhrer Sohn."?!?! Describing that as a "Hitler reference" or a mere "mention of Hitler" only further trivializes a rather shameless personal attack. The need for better judgement flows in all directions here. Alansohn (talk) 06:33, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop evading the issue and address the problems with your behavior, which you have consistently refused to do. BMK (talk) 09:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Second that, BMK. The whole Hitler thing is a red herring argument, as I did not start this thread, Magnolia677 did and he did it a full 12 days after the "Hitler incident" occurred. Strange that it wasn't a problem until Alansohn got called on his behavior, ya? John from Idegon (talk) 09:34, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was seething from the moment I saw User:John from Idegon callme Hitler. I was seething as a Jew. I was seething as someone who knows too many survivors. I was seething for the 6 million Jews that Hitler brutally murdered. Magnolia677 and John from idegon have had a chip on their shoulders because I had the nerve to challenege Wikipedia content. I am far angrier, far angrier than that. When I first sawe it, I would have driven straight to wherever Idegon is and taken care of him. I didn't. I bit my tongue hard and pretended. I will not tolerate this bullshit anymore and it's not just the assholes who think that calling me a Fuhrer is ok. Stop evading the issue. Do whatever the fuck you want here but there's no block long enough to deal with someone like this. Go find a Holocaust survivor and learn what they went through. Explain to them why this is acceptable behavior. Then fuck off. Alansohn (talk) 14:14, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding my comments above, nevermind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by medeis (talkcontribs)
It is worth noting that the above comment, which I am grateful to see, makes it rather clear that Alansohn took the reference to Hitler in an extremely personal way, which most people would not. I'm a German, not a Jew, who has here and elsewhere been compared to Hitler, among others, and I can understand how ethnic and cultural differences make it reasonable for some people to take what are, in most cases, perceived as generic insults as being worse than they were. Having said that, such overreaction is not in and of itself sufficient cause to excuse misconduct thereafer. I regret that Alansohn took the comment as much worse than it probably was intended to be. I regret even more that in his comment above he seems to me at least to be indicating that the prejudices he has regarding others for that comment seems to be ongoing and unlikely to disappear. It is rather clear that at least right now he is in nothing like a rational and cooperative spirit, and there is no particular reason to believe that will change in the future, given the depth of emotion expressed. Perhaps some sort of direct interaction ban might be called for. John Carter (talk) 16:12, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alansohn has long had an unfortunate propensity to escalate conflict. It's been several years since I had interactions with him of that character (all at CFD, not the present editing area), and I've seen him around in other contexts since then without issue and had hoped he had made some growth. This current quagmire came on my radar after I happened to post a tentative agreement with him on a content issue here, only to have my head bit off by Magnolia677 in what seemed to me like an overreaction based on the comments I had seen in that thread.

But what I'm seeing in this thread from Alansohn is the same pattern of him digging in his heels in a content dispute and then making it personal, him responding to criticism of his own conduct not with acknowledgement or even substantive defense but instead with increasingly shrill outrage over everyone else's conduct (even if he had not previously made an issue of it), and him trying to smear or goad anyone new who is joining in the criticism (often with the frivolous claim that there is some kind of collusion or COI explaining editors' agreement contrary to his position, as John Carter has seen here). While others in this can share some criticism for their own reactions (see WP:GOAD), Alansohn has been the prime cause and center of many such a storm but is always loath to take responsibility for his own contribution to it. I'm very disappointed to see that continue or resume after so many years. postdlf (talk) 16:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Carrite's suggested sanctions - I don't need to see anymore. Alansohn's been given multiple chances to address the probelms that a number of editors see in his behavior -- and has, in fact, exhibited exactly that behavior here -- but steadfastly refuses to deal with it, or even to engage in meaningful dialogue. Therefore I have no choice but to support the sanctions suggested by Carrite above, which were:

    (1) Alansohn be indefinitely prohibited from conversion of geographical articles to redirects, be they in New Jersey or elsewhere. If he has a problem with the notability of any such piece, his correct course of action is hauling the piece in question to AfD for decision by others. (2) Anticipating a possible problem, Alansohn be indefinitely prohibited from making multiple notability challenges to lists of what he feels to be problematic articles — one article per AfD. (3) Everybody who needs a trout for edit warring, consider yourselves slapped.

    With that, I'm outta here. BMK (talk) 18:35, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why is everybody so freakin' quick to argue for sanctions? Where's the disruption here? I've seen far more editors argue with such brazen attitude and be applauded for it in their own defense, yet when somebody somebody doesn't like does it, they're 'denying the issues' and 'failing to take their own conduct into account'. I'm probably blind, but other than edit warring, where's the freakin' disruption? All I see here is long paragraphs without saying much of substance--and no diffs either. Tutelary (talk) 21:44, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree we need diffs, but after having argued in defence of Alansohn only to have him come back with yet another obscenity makes me think of the proverb, "fool me once..." μηδείς (talk) 00:03, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to agree with Tutelary, (and in answer to NE Ent) that sanctions against anyone are premature. Both these editors have made valuable contributions, and both are always sure they are right, even on those rare occasions in which their might be another valid point of view.Jacona (talk) 04:31, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

HE'S NOT GETTING IT! I spent two hours TODAY researching and then creating Carpentersville, New Jersey. Then along comes Alansohn, and instead of leaving a friendly thank you on my talk page, he edits the article and adds this nasty edit summary: "add details re parent township needlessly omitted from the article; use the source http://www.state.nj.us/infobank/localnames.txt when creating further such articles and cross reference in the parent municipality article". Needlessly omitted? I created a whole darned article! Friends, if you go way back up to the start of this thread, you will see that I wrote "nearly every edit I have made to an article about New Jersey has within minutes been reverted or tinkered with by User:Alansohn", and "The real problem is that this sort of ownership and intimidation scares editors away from articles about New Jersey". I added a new place to Wikipedia. It's a real town, with an interesting history. Isn't this what we want on Wikipedia? Yet this editor, Alansohn, habitually insults every edit I make. I ask you again--after all this discussion--to please stop this intimidation and bullying of editors who dare touch New Jersey. He doesn't own it, and HE'S NOT GETTING THE SUBTLE HINTS SO MANY HAVE PROVIDED HERE! Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 05:17, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May I add...I also originally said: "sometimes his corrections were so sloppy they seemed almost made in haste, and I needed to go back and fix them". Again...check out Carpentersville, New Jersey. Magnolia677 (talk) 05:33, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That having been screamed, I think it's obvious Magnolia doesn't play well with others either. An IBAN preventing them from reverting each other and commenting about each other and their edits, in edit summaries and elsewhere might help. It's curious whether Magnolia677 and Alansohn would agree to that, since in itself it doesn't restrict their editting, just their starting fights or feeling they have to respond to provocation. μηδείς (talk) 17:57, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would support an interaction ban of the kind described above as well, or if necessary any sort of direct interaction ban. John Carter (talk) 18:07, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I see nothing wrong with a mutual IBAN between Magnolia677 and Alansohn in addition to Carrite's suggested sanctions against Alanbsohn. BMK (talk) 23:09, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am still awaiting said diffs of disruption other than defending one's self and edit warring. Now if there was a history of edit warring, that would be cause for topic ban, but one single time--I believe every single person on Wikipedia has done such at one point in their career. Tutelary (talk) 00:50, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sufficient evidence has been presented here by a number of editors. That you refuse to look at it unless is shown in one specific format is your problem, and does not invalidate the evidence. BMK (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've come to ANI three times in the past month to report the same bully, and finally, in this thread, I felt something was going to be done. Now an editor writes: "I think it's obvious Magnolia doesn't play well with others either". I was hoping someone here would put their foot down and say that bullies won't be tolerated on Wikipedia, but all I seem to have done is upset you folks. I don't want to receive my first-ever censure on Wikipedia for "starting fights", so I'll be ending my edits to New Jersey, at least for now. When Alansohn wrote me "you are operating in very dangerous territory here", he wasn't joking! I don't think I started this or deserve to be treated the way I did. I just think people should stand up for themselves in the face of bullies, and was hoping some of you felt the same way. Now I'm being placed alongside him. How creepy. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, actually, no, BMK; the evidence is not clearly (if at all) demonstrated. I have had to bring issues to ANI multiple times, and each time I have provided the edit summaries or offending texts in a bulleted list and linked to a diff. I have also linked to previous threads where other actual evidence had been presented in the same way. The only such list we have here even coming close is some edits of Alansohn in 2009 (!!!) alluded to but not linked to by M677. In even the rather condescending ("you folks") passive-aggressive ("treated th[is] way"; "creepy") paragraph immediately above M677 asserts that Alansohn is a bully, but that is the question at hand, he needs to support that accusation, not beg the question by assuming it is already proven. I again voice my support for an IBAN, which should stop the insults flying and the content disputes being brought to ANI. I am not opposed to Carrite's suggestion in principle, but I'd need the evidence be made explicit in the way I have explained to support it. μηδείς (talk) 18:39, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Passive-aggressive"? What are you, a psychiatrist? Friends, I just want to add a few more articles about New Jersey without being hounded by you-know-who. In the past month I've added Carrs Tavern, Pecks Corner, Crossley, Quarryville, Aserdaten, Harmony, Friendship, Foul Rift, Fair Play, Carpentersville, Paulina, and Bear Tavern. If you think my accusations against the Jersey King are all in my head, please take a look at the edit histories of those articles. Instead of insisting on "diffs" as the smoking gun of his bully behavior, may I suggest instead you add "Alansohn" and "Magnolia677" into the Editor Interaction Analyzer and look for a pattern. I'm unfamiliar with a "mutual IBAN", but if it means articles I create about New Jersey will be left alone by Alansohn, sign me up! Please don't misinterpret my frustration, bold caps, use of the term "folks", or editing with a cat in my lap as ill-will; no editor on Wikipedia had added more Love, Love, Love, Love, Love than me. Thank you again for your help. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:37, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's not anybody else's burden to go looking for the evidence when you are the one bringing the complaint--if you have this tool then you can use it--you being the one who has made the accusations.
That being said, see WP:IBAN--basically you would not be able to mention each other directly or indirectly or revert each others edits, but would still be able to edit the same articles. Only if one or both of you violated that would there be some sort of block. (Carrite's suggestion above is a separate issue.) The huge benefit is that no one will feel the need to escalate a dispute since no one will be able to start one. μηδείς (talk) 01:34, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would this edit be included in an IBAN? After I create articles he tinkers with them. Sometimes the edits are unnecessary, but not in violation of policy. Other times, such as here, he adds sloppy errors which need to be deleted. If both these types of edits are protected, this will be a big help, as it will allow me to continue creating new articles about New Jersey. It doesn't help other editors, but that's where Carrite's excellent suggestion may bring relief. Thank you in advance for your response. Magnolia677 (talk) 04:00, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The exact details of an IBAN would be the determination of the closing admin. You'd need to have a WP:RfC (normally) requesting an IBAN and the uninvolved closing admin would determine its exact terms. Both of you would have to deal with the fact that neither of you owns a topic or article (I am saying that as a general principle) and constructive edits to the same article wouldn't be problematic. One person simply reverting another's work--a 1RR edit war-- would be forbidden.
But at some point an IBAN is by itself not going to prevent one editor from making edits another editor doesn't like. If you start an IBAN then you might specifically request that, say, Carrite's proposal also be instituted on both of you. The problem with the content disputes is that either of you coming back to ANI repeatedly will just annoy the admins, and then WP:BOOMERANG.
To answer you specifically on the Foul Rift diff question, no, an IBAN itself would not prevent that sort of edit. (And it's not the sort of thing I would expect any admin to respond to unless you could show bad faith with diffs and verifiable information contradicting what was added.) All the IBAN does is prevent immediate edit warring, nasty summaries, and talk page comments that invite retaliation. It is constructive prima facie and no admin is going to want to create a template or to have to look at every article history to see who created it to prevent such edits. If it were factually wrong you'd have to go to the talk page and maybe end up at dispute resolution or arbcom. Arbcom's liable to leave you both topic banned for a year, and neither of you wants that. μηδείς (talk) 05:00, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So what you're saying is, when I created Carpentersville, New Jersey a few nights ago--after all this discussion on ANI--and Alansohn quickly left a nasty edit summary on the new article...there's really nothing I can do to stop that. I get it. Magnolia677 (talk) 06:03, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not my purpose to challenge you, but neither the edit summary nor the edit itself at Foul Rift seems personally hostile to you. (I am not going to go looking for diffs you should be providing when you mention edits, so I have nothing to say about the Carpentersville article.) He has added information and the edit summary at Foul Rift is entirely neutral. The mere fact that he is "on top of" New Jersey related articles is not a problem. Unless there's some actual bad faith editting, like misrepresentation of sources, your example makes me think that only an IBAN would be appropriate, not sanctions against Alansohn. Basically, is this diff from Foul Rift what you consider your worst evidence against him? It would also be helpful to hear from Alansohn to know what he thinks of a simple IBAN per the above comments. μηδείς (talk) 06:17, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I articulated my concern when I first started this thread, and it's larger that just edit summaries. And Alansohn has already commented plenty in this thread, including "I will not tolerate this bullshit anymore and it's not just the assholes who think that calling me a Fuhrer is ok", and "fuck off". Magnolia677 (talk) 07:06, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting Alansohn's obscenities here does no more than your screaming above did to make a case. You have seen other editors comment on the lack of diffs to back up accusations. "unnecessarily omitted" in an edit summary isn't going to get you anywhere. This thread will likely soon be archived, so if you have the diffs to make a case you should provide them. μηδείς (talk) 18:13, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aside turned aside

  • AfD vs. Redirects. Question ... one issue, more discussed at the top of this long thread than recently, is the suggestion by some that Alan has done something bad by choosing to redirect pages rather than bring them to AfD. My question arises because I was formerly of the habit of bringing certain articles to AfD rather than redirect them, but was advised by some editors (such as user:DGG) that they thought that in certain circumstances where the redirect is presumed by the redirector to be non-controversial (which I gather applies to some of Alan's redirects) those editors such as DGG felt it was better to redirect such articles, rather than bring them to AfD. Here I see some editors suggesting the opposite. Do we have a firm view on this at the Project? Or is the matter one that is uncertain? Certainly, I've seen differing views. Epeefleche (talk) 03:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please open another thread on AN about this, or the Village Pump. This thread is supposed to be focusing on the behavior of Alansohn, although his allies have so far managed to muddy the waters and waylay the discussion. BMK (talk) 05:28, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • My advice was to be bold and do the redirect when the redirect is clearly noncontroversial. An objection to it shows that it is controversial, and anything controversial needs a community decision, and that can be done either on article talk pages or at XfD--I'm not aware we have any firm rule about which is better. Personally, I have always used XfD when challenged, & let the general community see & decide the issue. I have several times proposed that disputed merges/redirect/deletions be considered together at one board, named Articles for Discussion. DGG ( talk ) 06:11, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:LearnedElder citing antisemitic conspiracy theorist on Jesus

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

User:LearnedElder has repeatedly cited a book by antisemitic conspiracy theorist (Benjamin H. Freedman) to assert that Jesus was not Jewish, and to try to distance the relationship between Christianity and Judaism.

When it was explained on the talk page that Freedman (who is not a historian) was not an acceptable source, he accused the editor pointing this out of antisemitism, claimed that Freedman was "Jewish" (quotes LearnedElder's), and so on. Even LearnedElder has to put "Jewish" in quotes when referring to Freedman, because Freedman not only left the religion but writing and campaigning against Jews and Judaism under the (thin) guise of anticommunism (which he regarded as synonymous). It is possibly less dishonest to claim that Richard Dawkins is (not was, is) a Christian, if only because Dawkins doesn't claim that Christians are deliberately involved in some malevolent conspiracy to overthrow the world's governments in the name of an unrelated economic system.

Overall, he's made it clear that he's WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia but right the great wrong that Judaism and Christianity are depicted as related in our articles, and has every intention of "debating" for his claims and argue for WP:FRINGE views. He believes he has the "facts", or WP:THETRUTH. His edits are representative of his quote "personal beliefs".

Among his other edits include:

Clearly, we're dealing with an antisemite. Maybe he just hasn't learned that he's filled his head with hateful bollocks, or maybe not. Either way, I really should not have to explain any further why LearnedElder deserves at least a topic ban from all topics relating to Jews and Judaism, including pre-Nicene Christianity (if not later Christianity). Although I have not suggested more severe measures, I would welcome them. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:25, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have already drawn attention to the username[119], which seems designed to refer to the notorious antisemitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I too doubt that this user, who has requested a debate on Judaism and the merits of the Talmud[120], is here to build an encyclopaedia. RolandR (talk) 01:43, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, in light of what you've pointed out, I think a site ban is in order instead. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:46, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They are also clearly not here to work with others: see this diff. A site-ban seems like a good idea. -- The Anome (talk) 01:57, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That diff makes it quite clear that their main purpose here is to attack Jews. This person should certainly not be editing here. RolandR (talk) 02:01, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And to quote Tolkien, "if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people." Well, I guess I must still be a servant of the Zionist Occupation Government in his eyes, what with my belief in clearly antichristian ideas such as universal tolerance (except for intolerance) and socialism. Hell, I even worship a Jew. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In each of these edits his sole contribution has been to add Jewish- to the businessman's or economist's article. Yet not a single edit summary accurately reports the actual change: they are all misleading. Given the editor's (unsigned) actions on the Jesus talkpage, advocating that Jesus not be called a Jew, but a Judean, which is historically false, an antisemitic POV becomes obvious. Businessmen and bankers are Jews, Jesus is not. I suggest this is not just a mistake or ignorance. New editors don't consistently lie in edit summaries to hide their actions. It's bad faith disruption, probably by a blocked user, and should be dealt with severely and summarily. μηδείς (talk) 02:10, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Personal abuse and anti-Australian slurs by User:E-960

E-960 (talk · contribs) is posting increasingly strong abuse of myself and other editors in a discussion over the infobox of the Allies of World War II. This has included personal abuse (including accusations that the editors who disagree with their position are some sort of cabal intent on seriously damaging the article), sarcasm and anti-Australian abuse. Requests that they provide sources to support their position and moderate their language have gone unmet, and E-960's abuse is steadily getting worse. Could an uninvolved admin please look in and take whatever action they consider appropriate? The discussions are Talk:Allies of World War II#"Allies" in other languages and Talk:Allies of World War II#Removing native names of the Alliance and diffs include [121], [122], [123], [124], [125], [126] and [127]. Nick-D (talk) 11:18, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article is under attack, the same group of editors that deconstructed the WWII infobox has migrated to the Allies of World War II, to remove detail form that Infobox as well. Using the same coercive tactics. First, they suggest that there is a exception to the rule as to how the subject matter is presented, then argue that this is "too complicated" an issue to properly illustrate on the page and then suggest that all detail should be striped form the section. All you have to do is look at the WWII Talk page and see that very same group of editors push their POV. They were nowhere to be found when the Allies of World War II was in sore need of clean-up, but now they show up and start to remove stuff based on their POV. Now, they are trying to use every minor infraction to block opposition. --E-960 (talk) 11:28, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What constitutes "anti-Australian slurs"? In the diffs above, I see nothing that can be construed as such. Any better diffs? Doctalk 11:36, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The most obvious "anti-Australian" comment would probably be "The material add depth, something that the average Australian sorely lacks" from [128] which doesn't seem to be helpful.Nigel Ish (talk) 12:13, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) E-960 said here that adding the foreign-language names of the Allies would "add depth, something that the average Australian sorely lacks". To me this is a clear personal attack on an editor disagreeing with him, Nick-D, on racial/national grounds. When I advised E-960 to reconsider his tone and desist from apparently racist comments, he said "I'm confused a bit by your statement, what Australian race are you referring to?" — Cliftonian (talk) 12:15, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very slippery slope. I do expect that it will be handled accordingly. Doctalk 12:21, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Again, please notice how the same group of editors keeps trying to instigate a crisis. Then once they block me, they will take apart the article. Recently there was even a RfC to remove the infobox all together, now that it failed, they want to start to remove individual detail from it! --E-960 (talk) 12:22, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Content dispute. But you may be blocked for "anti-Aussie" leanings anyway. Doctalk 12:32, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to say that one joke in bad taste does not suggest "anti-Aussie" leanings. In any case, That group of editors who voted in favor of removing stuff from WWII page also, took shots at me sarcastically asking if english was my second language. Where was the outrage then, no one stood up for me, now they all close in rank and try to get me blocked. --E-960 (talk) 12:49, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am not part of any "group of editors" as you seem to think and I'm not closing ranks with anybody. This has nothing whatsoever to do with any content dispute. I took issue with your comment because of what you said—racist, nationalist, whatever you want to call it, it's just not on—not because of differences in opinion or because it was made by you specifically. Your assertion that I reacted in the way I did for vindictive reasons is, frankly, an affront to my character. I have never said anything about trying to get you blocked—I advised you before, and I still advise you now, to acknowledge this remark was out of line and apologise for it. — Cliftonian (talk) 13:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@E-960: I think this issue can be more effectively resolved if you acknowledge that your comment was out of line, apologise accordingly for it and refrain from making similar comments in the future. Or you can take the hard way out and risk getting blocked for it. —Dark 00:19, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@E-960: - can only echo the sentiments of DarkFalls here. As an aside, there are a few "classic" signs that for a particular someone, English is their second language. Confusion with regard to pluralisation is one such "classic" English-as-a-second-language struggle (having worked closely with foreign students). Whether it is for you or it isn't, you've made pluralisation errors twice in this discussion. Some proof-reading before hitting "save" might avoid such suggestions. I don't their suggestions along that line were "sarcastic". Stlwart111 23:05, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you User talk:Stalwart111 the comment. Such statements can be considered as a red herring. They are irrelevant to the actual debate. Also, i like to point out that in the middle of heated debates I've see users (who's first language was English) who also skipped words, missed plurals, and just formed lousy sentences. So, in respect to the talk page, such comments are petty and cynical. More importantly, you just made and example out of yourself: since I almost overlooked the statement form User talk:DarkFalls, because of the "proof reading" comment. And, this is my point… if there is a serious debate such statements can be used to distract, or divert the flow of the actual debate. --E-960 (talk) 11:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As I stated before the joke was in poor taste in regards to Australians in general as it was irrelevant to the debate. But, I do have reservations about making a direct statement to User:Nick-D regarding this issue. For the following reasons… I simply do not know who is standing behind this profile. And judging by the actions (edits) on the WWII article, I have serious reservations as to the motives of this user. When a few months back (Talk:World War II/Archive 49) there was a debate to use word "genocide" in a section title it was User:Nick-D who in the last minute jumped in to oppose this change suggesting that it would be more appropriate to use the term "mass killings" instead. When looking over this users edits this action blew me away, since how could anyone argue that Genocide was not a significant part of the war (down-play it); a planned and stated goal of some of the totalitarian regimes. This needed to be openly and clearly stated in the WWII article. So, by reviewing this users actions it became very apparent that there was a persistent effort on his part to sanitize the article (you can call it content dispute, but the above example is very hard to argue against, as simply an issue of different interpretations). And, after hearing about Wikipedia edits being done by special interest groups or individuals, paid editors, or even intelligence agencies. I simply do not know who or what is standing behind this profile. And thus, I will acknowledge my error in labeling the average Australian as lacking depth, but, I have reservations about make a direct amends. --E-960 (talk) 12:20, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take your mention of "the totalitarian regimes" in reference to Nick as fulfilment of Godwin's law. Please allow me to remind you again of the site policy on personal attacks. Incidentally, I personally find it hard to accept the argument that one "simply does not know who is standing behind this profile" when the person saying this is himself using a handle made up mostly of numbers. — Cliftonian (talk) 14:33, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's not hard to come up on Godwin's law, when there is a discussion regarding WWII. Also, regarding the comment about my user name and what may stand behind it as well… you can rest assured that I come from the ranks of the simple folk given my lack of proof reading skills and poor grammar. --E-960 (talk) 16:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

TheSawTooth behaviour

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

More than one editors agree that the behaviour of User:TheSawTooth fits that of a paid editor. It is one of the massive paid sockfarm at WP:COIN (plus some disruption on other articles under DS). Undisclosed against the TOU. There's ongoing disrupting at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Electronic_Recycling_Association summary refusal to stop WP:IDHT(following previous disruption at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jason_Minter, edit warring ERA as per previous report at ANI).

His disruptive behavior and edits are not limited with only ERA. Check Operation Dwarka, where he is edit warring over the new edits and reverts after saying "you have no consensus for remove", he don't even know what kind of sources he is using. I had described him about IPA(Arbcom sanctions on India/Pakistan/Afghanistan articles) and he went to misrepresent my message.[129] OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 13:19, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sanction topics are not related to ERA much users disagree with Occult consensus is deciding. I am not misrepresenter he really drop me sanction message I also said after sanction message that I will be careful still he is coming here.

The case isn't just about the ERA page. Unfortunately from your behaviour at several Indo-Pak related articles, you seem to be engaging in repeated edit wars. On Operation Dwarka, you kept undoing an edit saying you have no consensus.

Long-term pattern of edit warring

I listed this concern here originally, but another editor recommended I list it here instead. I'm concerned about the pattern that User:Jimjilin has established. I'm requesting advice specifically about that. There is a lengthy record (going back about 2 1/2 years) of reports of edit warring and blocks from the same on Jimjilin's user page, and Jimjilin appears to be edit warring now at Jesus (although I'm not raising that directly as an issue here). If Jimjilin doesn't understand the policies regarding edit warring and 3RR at this point, no one does. Yet Jimjilin continues to engage in edit warring. Is there a longer-term solution for this? Perhaps a longer block with a request to review Wikipedia's policies and a stronger warning to cease future edit warring? Thanks. Airborne84 (talk) 21:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I pointed out that no consensus exists on a certain page and Airborne84 keeps threatening me. His actions seem inappropriate.Jimjilin (talk) 21:33, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - An administrator should take a look at Jimjilin's talk section. I second Airborne84's concern. The user has a pattern of inserting (often very pointy and agenda driven) sentences, then engages in a edit war with users until the user is reported. From what I have seen on some of the talk sections that jimjilin had argued with, there is a strong sense of WP:Ididnthearthat and deliberate disagreement believing that "equality" and "balance" means his POV pushing sentence should have some space in the article, no matter how irrelevant, wrong, or Weighty it may be. -Xcuref1endx (talk) 05:08, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Legal threats from Stephen Suleyman Schwartz

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Stephen Suleyman Schwartz (using IP 76.218.124.85) appears to be making legal threats.[136]

I consider the accusation that I wrote this entry, that it is an autobiography, or that it is self-promotion, to be libelous under California law, as it impugns my professional credibility. I consider the same about the claim that the entry is "a fan-page and, as is evident in Schwartz's active contributions to the article... a largely self-made fan-page."

My understanding is that he objects to:

The tag on the article page was placed there because Mr Schwartz has a history of deleting content that he does not like and says is libelous. (Consensus over the last 8 years has supported Mr Schwartz deleting such material.)

He also believes that his comments should be in their own section, and should not follow standard indentation and formatting conventions.[137]-- Toddy1 (talk) 01:00, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know whether some of the post at that Mr Schwartz objects to should be redacted, and do not have the authority to do so in any case.-- Toddy1 (talk) 01:02, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for 48 hours. —Dark 01:07, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Should I add the legal threats to the article about him? Jsharpminor (talk) 03:28, 21 December 2014 (UTC) (just kidding, of course.)[reply]

I have edited my section on the talk page. It was really just an error on my part to label the page's sources as self-published rather than auto-biographical. Of course, no reasonable person would ever believe my suggestion that they were self-published - even among the myriad of people who must have viewed that talk page. I apologize for any upset I may have caused. Bapehu (talk) 11:58, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to Talk:Stephen Suleyman Schwartz, one of the IP's principal concerns is the suggestion that the article subject would impliedly breach journalistic ethics by editing his own biography. We could argue the rights or wrongs of this view, but for the sake of moving along I've replaced the "possible autobiography" tag with a more generic "NPOV." Some additional points need addressing - some article content is unreferenced and some is referenced to primary or unreliable sources. There is also a potential issue with undue weight in the coverage of reviews of some of Schwartz's work. Will look at these later today if time permits.
On the ANI issue, the IP has now denied making an explicit legal threat, though it might still be reasonably perceived. Will leave it up to DarkFalls to decide whether the denial is sufficient to lift the block. Subject to any differing views, suggest this thread might be able to be closed with discusison continuing on the artcle talk page. -- Euryalus (talk) 05:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:DarkFalls has accepted the IP's assurance that no legal threat was intended and he has lifted the block on 76.218.124.85. In my opinion this ANI report can be closed. EdJohnston (talk) 13:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent vandalism by User:TMDrew

When I came across the B-theory of time, it was in extremely poor condition, and urgent need for re-writing, which I have done. The original article mostly contained information regarding A-series of time (despite there being a page on A-series and B-series), additionally there was a single paragraph on the physics support B-theory, and the physics potentially behind B-theory. The remaining (50%) writing on the page was several paragraphs on William Craig a somewhat Christian fundamentalist, theologian philosopher. The article described his opinions on the theory, and there are a number of problems with that.

The first problem is that most of the paragraphs did not even state that those beliefs were Craig or even that they were beliefs, for example, "B theory suffers a incoherence as all other theories, that time is illusionary. The Buddhist can consistently deny the reality of the physical world, since the illusion of physicality does not entail physicality, but this is not the case with temporal becoming", This was not quoted, or stated as an opinion of Craig's rather User:TMDrew placed it in the description of B-thoery section. Craig being of Christian philosophy and faith, you should note the dig at buddhist philosophy. Firstly that kind of aggressive bias material shouldn't be on a page about metaphysics and theoretical physics, secondly supposably this was supposed to be opposition to B-theory, why are we talking about Buddhism. The general persuasion of the article and the following edits by TMDrew have been of similar suit. The writings of Craig's despite being stead outright as fact rather than opinions were also, not necasrrily philosophies, but aggressive ranting. Some of the 'opinions' (stated as fact), actually contradicted themselves, others made no sense, some parts were opinions (stated as facts) from books on his critique of scientific support for B-thoery, a book which was highly criticised by the scientific community, showing Craig has no understanding of relativity and labelled as pseudoscientific. (Outside note: Craig has been criticised by all community for seemly pushing A-thoery and therefore opposing B-theory simply because otherwise it would conflict with his religious beliefs, and this was evident in the 'opinions' given of Craig's). Generally speaking, most of the information belonged on his biographical page not a page on metaphysics and theoretical physics.

I since have significantly changed the page, I have improved the quality of the article, removed irrelevant information (see above), quoted statements when necarry, finally creating a Neutral POV, and despite this User:TMDrew continuously vandalises the page with a personal bias and agenda (supporting Craig and A-thoery). For example, I quoted prominent research papers that stated, factually, thatA-thoery supporters were by far in the minority, and B-theorsits (the sister theory) has majority support from the metaphysics and theoretical physics community. User:TMDrew removed this information, and any other information regarding B-theory's favourbility amongst all, then inserted the above Craig quote (on buddhist philopshy) with a load of other Craig 'babble' stating his opinions as fact, such as 'B-thoery has many philosophical inconstancies', not Craig argues 'B-the.... You get the picture. Additionally he has continuously degraded the rest of the article, jumbling things around (so they are in wrong sections), removing the scientific evidence behind B-theory, (which also happens to oppose A-theory). The editing is pretty consistent in this sense, that User:TMDrew is serving a personal agenda regarding A-theory and William Craig.

I have added reasons for edits, left multiple messages on his talk page page, and the page talk page (which I will get too in a moment) and left him multiple vandalisation warning (which he has now surpassed his final warning - hence here I am). BTW: I originally posted this on 'Admin intervention against vandalism', though they believed it would be best suited here.

You merely need to read the version that user:TMDrew put in on Craig, to understand how awful it really is (be sure to notice the deliberate degrading of the rest of the article aswell in his most recent edit, though slightly less vandalous than previous vandalisations).

Other random points that may add to your decision:

  • He frequently wipes his talk page, looking back you can seek numerous vandalism accusations and warnings by various users. User:Mojowiha, not only also had an issue with vandalisation from User:TMDrew but on the B-theory of time page specifically. (it seems he gave up)
  • In the B-thoery of time argument, I believe he logged out and posed as his IP address, then did the exact same thing, wrote an extremely similar wording as explanation. This revert and minor discussion on whether the Craig info should be included, amusingly was this IP's only edit, and after I called him out, no further edits have been made with this IP. (I could of course be wrong, but see it for yourself)

Either way, I'm getting sick and tired of this user, and I believe the feeling is mutual with number of other editors. There have been numerous examples from numerous different editors with disruptive editing and violating Neutral POV and serving a personal agenda. e.g.

Yes, because my precise reasons on what and where you vandalised just reeks of recklessness, while you reverting days of contributions to a page, decreasing the article quality significanting doesn't? Firstly, as I have said before, I was warned for entering an edit war, instead of reporting you (which I should of done & I am now), not for the edits themselves. "After being sent to the 3RR boards again, this user retaliates." Actually you recently WRONGLY filed a report for 3RR and edit warring when then was/is no warring going on. I do not need to argue with someone who simply wants trouble. The edit history over the last few days, the attitude and way in which you edit, and the sheer number of people who have problems with you (to the extent you have to wipe your talk page on a daily basis) speaks for itself, let along the number of rules you are breaking when you edit; disruptively, while serving a personal agenda, not providing a neutral point of view, etc. DocHeuh (talk) 23:31, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse by user FelixRosch

The user FelixRosch has recently been responsible for some minor vandalism to the page Metropolitan (1990 film). When I initially edited the plot synopsis, it was vague and incomplete. User FelixRosch replaced it with a poorly written, incomplete synopsis which contains many grammatical and syntactical errors that make it sound as though it were written by someone with only a moderate grasp of the English language. Attempts to correct FelixRosch's summary resulted only in FelixRosch reverting the page to his own edits and demanding a discussion on the article's talk page. A request for protection resulted in FelixRosch's poorly written summary being protected, and user FelixRosch is now stalling discussion on the talk page unless other users validate him. A look at FelixRosch's talk page will demonstrate a pattern of abusive editing and combative behavior towards other editors and admins, and his edits to the Metropolitan article have themselves demonstrated a disregard for the article's quality versus his own desire for validation.76.31.249.221 (talk) 18:00, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been dormant for some time before I edited it. Not every single edit on Wiki requires a discussion beforehand, especially to delete poorly written information on a low-importance article. You have offered nothing in the way of criticism on the improved information other than you don't like the fact that it was changed without your approval. Your user page shows a history of disciplinary issues with other Wiki articles and a difficulty getting along with other editors.

I have been following this conflict ....and have a few things to say. First we need to understand that in all likely hood (or assuming good faith) the IP editor probably has no clue about our procedures that all keep blabbing about. To be chastising him for things he/she has no clue about does not help move anything forward. In the future all just needs to be a bit more informative over being assertive. Being proactive of the bat with links to polices and not using Wikijargin shortcuts that mean nothing to someone new (assuming the IP is new as indicated by the edit history). Not one part of this post makes any sense. Then we have these nice responses all in an aggressive tone. The problem here is the interaction the IP has had thus far....again not one person even remotely discussing the content problem they have been talking about....even telling them to shutup when they are seeking help. This is the reason we are having editor retention problems. All I have to say is... everyone really drop the ball here. So anyone have any comment on the content??? -- Moxy (talk) 03:53, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding aggressive tone (in the wikilink above): that wasn't my intent at all. I was trying to make the point that arguments alleging vandalism or incompetence against an experienced WP editor are not likely to be result in a good outcome. (I also said "whatever you do, don't let anyone chase you away from contributing to Wikipedia.")
Regarding content: See my comments in the article talk page at [139]. After having actually done some homework, I believe the new plot summary, posted by User:76.31.249.221 better describes the plot of the film, provides a better foundation for commentary, is better English prose, better fulfills the guidelines at WP:PLOTSUM, and serves to improve the article. There are talk page comments by two other editors (including 76.31.249.221) which also support the new plot summary. So far, no one (not even FelixRosch) has made an argument in favor of the old plot summary. And I suspect that no one will, given the pragmatic need to locate and watch a 24 year old movie in order to make such an argument credible. So, for now, the consensus is with the new plot summary.
My take on this episode is that the involved parties should read WP:HUMAN, and remember that "unregistered users have the same rights as registered users to participate in the writing of Wikipedia." Fearofreprisal (talk) 07:23, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting interaction ban with User:Beyond My Ken

An editor who goes by the name Beyond My Ken has been following me about for a couple days. It is the equivalent of harassment. Personal attacks continue. I have done nothing to him. Instead, he disagreed with one of my own actions, which is fine. However, that does not justify stalking and continual assault. I'd like to request that an interaction ban be placed on me and him, so that this does not continue. It is disruptive, and inappropriate.

I'm tired of this. There is no reason I should be subjected to stalking by a vindictive editor. I will not engage in a long-drawn out AN/I slugfest, so I hope he doesn't try doing that in the same way that he is trying to derail and ArbCom case that has nothing to do with him. Regardless of your opinion about my actions at the Cultural Marxism article, that does not justify badgering or harassment from an editor such as BMK. RGloucester 00:18, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the "hypocritical liars" edit remark is beyond blatant. I myself warned BMK about personal attacks only a few days ago. He simply blew me off. I don't know if he just doesn't understand what the guidelines ask or is just refusing to comply. But given the defiant tone, I suspect it's the latter.

If it is the case that Gloucester denied editing the article, when he actually did edit the article, what's a better way to say it? ←Baseball BugsWhat's up, Doc?carrots→ 01:03, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No "lying" involved. My only edits were copyedits at the moment it was created. I have not edited it since the start of August, and again, my only edits were copyedits, and two reverts. None of that has anything to do with the present dispute. Regardless, nothing I did justifies being stalked. RGloucester 01:06, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's possible to disagree with someone's claims and even to criticize their behavior without making it an attack on the person. Fundamentally, if you'd like to express an opinion, you need to find a way to express it within the guidelines – which prohibit personal attacks – or not at all. Msnicki (talk) 01:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm less concerned with personal attacks, and more concerned with the fact that he has been following me around to matters that he otherwise would not have been involved in. The only reason he has done this is because he wants to "look into my edits", which hardly seems appropriate. He is editing to make a point, and to harass me. RGloucester 01:12, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. WP:Wikihounding is prohibited but it's not nearly so cut-and-dried because all of our edit histories are public and anyone can look at them. It's not such a bright line we can say he's crossed as there is when he utters the magic word, "liar". Msnicki (talk) 01:19, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Both are prohibited, there are rules that describe the elements of each, and the history that supports a finding of either is discoverable by looking at edit histories and diffs. Of course, editor analysis is required to make a determination of an infraction, in either case. Some cases of hounding are actually clearer than some cases of personal attacks. I gather that Msnicki feels that there is a clear case of a personal attack, while RG is most concerned with putting an end to what he feels is ongoing hounding (and no doubt if he were not followed, that would serve to decrease the possibility of personal attacks in the future). Epeefleche (talk) 01:41, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Let me put it this way: A block for the personal attack seems justified by the bright line violation, especially given that he's been recently warned, and might end both problem behaviors. Msnicki (talk) 02:02, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • RGloucester has the habit of claiming to be unbiased and non-partisan in various disputes, when his actions show quite clearly that this is not the case. He also regularly misinterprets Wikirules and policies, as in his attempt to close an RfC on Talk:Cultural Marxism despite being an involved editor, and then to overturn an uninvolved editor's subsequent close. [140] This behavior did indeed lead me to take a look at his contributions, to see if there were other instances of his misapplication of Wikipedia principles, which lead me to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2007 Carnation murders. As I remarked there, I took a look at the article and the sources, read the comments from other editors, and then posted a comment based on that evidence, a comment which differed from RGloucestor's view, which caused him to accuse me of vindictivemess, with the threat to "take action" against me.

    My going to the ArbCom request concerning Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 had nothing whatsoever to do with RGloucester, as I regularly monitor that page, and comment on requests with moderate frequency. However, I did find there that RGloucester was once again claiming to an uninvolved editor with no stake in the article, so I questioned him about it, politely.

    As for Msnicki, she is an editor who is virulently adamant about Dangerous Panda being desysoppped in his ArbCom case, a view I have opposed, and her comment can be ignored for that reason.

    So, this claim of me "following him around" hangs on an AfD that I admit I went to because I saw it on RGloucester's contrib list, and a Arbitration request that I saw because I watch the page regularly. I also watch AN and AN/I, where there have been other interactions with this editor, none of which I got involved with because I was "following him around". I suggest that if RGloucester doesn't want his editing to be examined that he correctly follow Wikipedia policy, and not misrepresent his position in regard to disputes he is involved with.

    I'd also like to point out that it is not only my observation that he claims to be uninvolved while, in fact, acting in a partisan manner. The admin Dark Falls also expressed that view in re-closing the Cultural Marxism dispute, when he responded to RGloucester's claim that he was "merely doing what is required by Wikipedia policies". Dark Falls wrote:

    Oh I was not aware that policy mandates you to open an AfD straight after a merge discussion ended with no consensus, when you are fully aware that it will achieve nothing besides make a point. You are hoping that by complaining about the matter loud enough, you will be able to change the result to your liking, yet try to shroud this under a cloak of neutrality and a pretence of not caring about the result.

    • Now, if someone wants to say "RGloucester, you don't have to be non-partisan and uninvolved in order for your comments in a dispute to have legitimacy, so just stop misrepresenting your position as being uninvolved and disinterested and go about your business," and "Beyond My Ken, you can't change a person by annoying them about their perceived faults, so please give RGloucester the space to edit without your pointing out his deficits", I could live with that. BMK (talk) 01:41, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm not under any "cloak". Feel free to examine my edits. I do follow Wikipedia policy, and I do state my position as it is. If you don't believe me, that isn't my fault. That's no excuse for following me around to matters you are not involved in and targeting me. I am not involved in the Malaysia Airlines dispute. I have never been. You can examine it all you like. It is clear that I'm not involved. I'm not going to play that game again. As far as "Cultural Marxism", I did not say I was "uninvolved". I said that whether I was "involved" or not was irrelevant. I also said that I did not care about the result. These are true statements. I don't care about the result. What will happen, will happen, and that's that. None of that justifies you following me and making a mess. RGloucester 01:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Sorry, your scare quotes around the word "cloak" seems to imply that I wrote that word somewhere in my comment, but I don't believe I did. BMK (talk) 01:49, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Try Ctrl-F. You quoted it in bold in this edit. I presume you did that because you agreed with that quote and thought RG should answer it. Msnicki (talk) 01:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • Yes, I see. I did not write it myself, but quoted it, which is why it felt unfamiliar to me. Thanks for the correction. BMK (talk) 02:01, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
BMK -- how about if someone were to say "BMK, inasmuch as you've indicated you've followed RG's edits, which matches what the editor interaction diffs indicate, perhaps it is best for you to not do so to confront RG, but agree of your own accord to rather let other editors and normal editing processes address it?" You point out above that an admin shared a view you had ... perhaps you can rely on that sort of normal process, and eschew following RG? Voluntarily? Without any community or admin action? Epeefleche (talk) 01:47, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I indicated that I "followed RG's edits" to one AfD, period. The rest of our interactions occured in the normal course of my editing. That's not stalking, or harassment by any definition, and it's barely even "following".

But to answer your question, yes, I could allow the normal Wikipedia community process -- which is sometimes like trying to turn a fully-loaded container ship -- to catch up to RGoucester's foibles in its own time. BMK (talk) 01:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My "foibles"? What are your foibles, BMK? I have no foibles. As I indicated before, it seems you've taken a disliking to me, and I've taken the brunt of it. Please stop this emotive and irrational rage against me. RGloucester 02:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My dear sir, all God's children have foibles. BMK (talk) 02:24, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That we do, BMK. However, I have none that you've seen me exercise here. I've seen yours. RGloucester 02:32, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've made it abundantly clear that I thought RGloucester's conduct in regards to Cultural Marxism was dishonest. BMK, I am sure you have done the same. However continually mentioning it will not elicit a positive response, as you can see. It is up to RGloucester to see faults within his conduct. I suggest that you avoid mentioning it in the future. —Dark 01:52, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dark Falls: Yes, I stand corrected and will alter my behavior accordingly. BMK (talk) 01:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suggest RGloucester (Richard III's) sole purpose of late has been disruption and personal attacks with insults and condescension wherever I have encountered him. I'll list half a dozen diffs tues afternoon NYC time. μηδείς (talk) 06:12, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
More hounding, eh? Not surprising. My purpose is never "disruption". You may not agree with opinion, personality, or methods, but that doesn't mean that I'm trying to "disrupt" anything. RGloucester 17:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Joyunity does not want to discuss his changes

This user keeps changing infobox image of articles without discussing the matter on talk page first. When I asked him to start a discussion first he completely ignored my request saying that I'm vandalizing his edits. I really don't know how to keep this editor in line. He doesn't even explain his edits using edit summary. I notified him multiple times to use edit summary but he blanked his talk page. I have a feeling that he is not here to build an encyclopedia. Diffs 1 2 3 4 5--Chamith (talk) 07:00, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to respond to ChamithN's comment by saying that I really do care about helping Wikipedia reach high standards. I also believe that users should work together to help Wikipedia but ChamithN hasn't ever asked me politely to stop fixing the page to its correct format. and he is now trying to block me from editing, some tantrum. I know he left a comment wanting to band me, but this is me saying I care about Wikipedia and I want it to be as great as possible. I'm not asking you to band ChamithN, but please block me because of listening to his foolish comments about my style of editing. Thank You, JoyUnity — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyunity (talkcontribs) 08:53, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see that someone else changed the image - see the history of File:Meghan_Trainor_iHeart_1.jpg. They replaced the large high-res image with a very tiny crop. A crop might make some sense but such a reduction in size does not, so I've reverted it. Squinge (talk) 10:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
At first I was being polite and I even posted a message on your talk page explaining how to use edit summary, but you completely ignored and kept changing Wikipedia's content as you please. You didn't even provide a single edit summary. And yes you are right users should work together to improve Wikipedia that's why posted tons of messages on your talk page requesting to use edit summary.--Chamith(talk) 14:04, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) I think this can be solved on the talk page. As an apparently new user, Joyunity probably will make mistakes. We should try to calmly and politely steer Joyunity toward the right direction. Accusing new users of not being here to build an encyclopedia after a minor content dispute isn't really going to help. From what I can tell, nobody has ever posted to the talk page. @Joyunity: you've received a bit of feedback on your talk page about discussing edits, using an edit summary, and signing your posts. It would be helpful if you did those things. It's fine to be bold, but discussing changes on the talk page and using edit summaries are important parts of collaboration. I suggest you read our simplified sets of rules. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you NinjaRobotPirate. I think Joyunity made those mistakes because he is new to Wikipedia. As you've provided a good explanation to him I hope he wouldn't continue making the same mistakes repeatedly. So Joyunity, make sure to provide an edit summary from now on and please discuss on the talk page of the specific article before changing something like infobox image.-Chamith (talk) 19:14, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Legacypac: The editor has been summarily blocked on the basis of obvious sock puppetry and block evasion. Also, it's generally a good idea to report these to SPI, if only to have a complete record of prior socking. I'll take care of adding in this case.

GentiBehramaj

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

User:GentiBehramaj made few hundred edits in the last two days. All of those edits are very problematic. Most of them are page moves and category moves made without any discussion and without posting any edit summary. Most of those moves deal with the names of the towns in Kosovo which is very controversial topic. Just to remind that this falls under the WP:ARBKOS decision. GentiBehramaj moved dozens of categories (subcategories of Category:People by district in Kosovo). Just one example: he moved "Category:People from Zvečan" to "Category:People from Zveçan" although the title of the corresponding article is "Zvečan" (not "Zveçan"). He did not try to discuss this, nor he wrote any edit summary to explain the move. "Zveçan" is the Albanian spelling of "Zvečan". This is just an example. He moved all the categories "People from ..." to Albanian names without any discussion and with no edit summary ([142][143] etc.). He also moved some articles about Kosovo cities to Albanian titles, again with no discussion and with no edit summary. He moved "Lipljan" to "Lipjan" [144] although the consensus was reached on the talk page of the article for the title "Lipljan" (I moved it back). He also moved "Mališevo" to "Malisheva", again without any explanation (I moved it back too). Since all those moves are illegitimate, I propose them all be reverted. I don't want to revert, as I don't want to get involved in the edit war. I ask administrators to revert those edits and to warn GentiBehramaj not to move pages and categories without discussion. This is very disruptive behavior and has to be stopped. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:11, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I also arived here to ask admins to restore original English commonnames for all of those. This was very bad nationalistic move, to rename everything to Albanian without any talk page discussion. Some admin must revert edit by edit back to established versions of articles. --Ąnαșταη (ταlκ) 21:49, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Original English commonames ? It seems that you abuse with that generic expression . As per wp:burden you have to provide sources proving that those are the English commonames , yet you two seem to conflict each others arguments because one is claiming that those are Serbian commonames and the second user is claiming that they are English. What needs to be noted is that you accuse that user of reverting without giving an explanation yet i saw none of you trying to establish a consensus on the talk page ... Personally i more than agree with GentiBehramaj's reverts . Gjirokastra15 (talk) 22:44, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User GentiBehramaj is not alone, there have been other edits along these lines recently. I have been trying to mediate a content dispute at the Battle of Kosovo article regarding how to describe the historic battle's modern day location. If its not coincidence, then I have to wonder if this is a "group effort"? --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 23:50, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,
I am aware that i made a mess and I apologize for breaking the rules! I am a new Wikipedian so I don't really have much experience on this and I didn't know there exists a deal about the names of places in Kosovo. I reverted all changes I made before, except the moves of the categories that I couldn't move back (please somebody who knows how it works, do it!). That's all i could do to fix it! I want to make it clear that those changes I made earlier weren't with a nationalistic background. Almost every name of Kosovo cities is in Serbian so the consensus (whoever made it) is very unilateral. Please somebody explain to me how Kosovo Polje is in English and not in Serbian? Also Zvečan, if there a "ç" is not acceptable, why a "č" is? As far as I know the "č" letter isn't used in English! If you want to be neutral then don't use "č" neither "ç" but maybe a "c", like in the case of the name of Pristina where is used a "s" instead of "sh" or "š"!
I also want to make clear that I am neither part of a "group effort" nor I have any contact with other editors from Kosovo, so please don't start with conspiracy theories! I just want to contribute as much as I can in enriching the articles about Kosovo, by giving correct information and respecting the rules. Once again, I apologize for the mess I made yesterday, hoping we will find a new solution for the names of cities of Kosovo! --GentiBehramaj (talk) 01:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GentiBehramaj, this is not a place to discuss the names of articles. We are here to discuss your behavior, and I'm very glad to see you reverted your edits. You have arguments, and that's OK, but you can't move those sensitive pages without discussing it with other editors. For example, there is an open discussion at Talk:Kosovo Polje about moving the page to "Fushë Kosova", so you can participate. Wikipedia is all about discussion and reaching wp:consensus. There is also a discussion at Talk:Peć. Take part in the discussion, state your arguments and see what other editors have to say. That is the only was to deal with this issue. Again, thank you for understanding. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:29, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This user understood the problem. In his later edits he showed that he is not willing to make controversial edits without discussion any more. He even apologized for his actions, so I believe there is nothing more to do here. I'm closing this discussion. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:25, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Renault dispute with 83.157.24.224

This is my first involvement with ANI so apologies if I'm getting anything wrong.

There are some issues surrounding the editing of the article Renault with the user 83.157.24.224 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (heretofore referred to as Mr. IP).

There has been a content dispute regarding Mr. IP's addition of awards information for Renault car models [145] to the main article and lead.

A talk page discussion was started in an attempt to resolve the issue here and subsequently an RFC was opened.

During these debates Mr. IP has engaged in the following:

  • Incivility: accusations against vrac, Urbanoc, Warren Whyte, Mr.choppers of vandalism [146], sock puppetry, dishonesty, bias, "malevolence", bad faith (see RFC for details). Calling three of us "gangsters" and saying we should be banned from Wikipedia here [147]
  • Threatening to disparage Wikipedia in the press (Mr. IP claims to be a journalist) here [148]
  • Threatening to engage in sockpuppetry here [149], although I suspect Mr. IP already has this sock engaged in the debate: 193.252.173.168 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (another IP from France who displays strikingly similar linguistic quirks to Mr. IP).
  • Canvassing for the RFC here [150] and here [151]

Attempts to engage and educate have not been successful. Lately the dispute has degenerated into edit warring. The content dispute we can deal with, however I feel that the incivility has passed the threshold and needs to be addressed by an administrator. Vrac (talk) 21:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Addendum: This is interesting, Mr. IP appears to be engaged in a cross-wiki crusade against Volkswagen, see this entry [152] on the Renault article talkpage on fr.wikipedia in September. Note the last line where Mr. IP says there is a "Volkswagate sur[on] Wikipedia", just like they said there was a "Volkswagate scandal on Wikipedia" here [153] on the en Renault talk page.Vrac (talk) 22:00, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I write on Wikipedia for several years on Wikipedia and I've never created any dispute. But since October, I am harrassed by Urbanoc, Vrac, Warren Whyte etc. Yet, all my contributions are fair and with some sources.

    On the contrary of a dispute, before Vrac created a dispute here to kick me and my fair contributions away, I wrote here Portal_talk:Cars#Non-equal_treatment_of_articles_-_Vandalization : for me there is no dispute, I talk about CONSISTENCY : same rules and same structure of sections for ALL the automotive brands. That is why I cite the Volkswagen article as an example. I have no preference for any brands, I just ask that the same rules and content can be added in ALL the brands articles, with the same section order etc. I even removed a spam link from the VW article and my action has been validated [[154]]. So I do protect Volkswagen. Notice that Mr.Choppers (a friend of Vrac and Urbanoc, that I contacted to make a mediation and hopefully make stop their harassment against me, but they continued) admitted himself As for VW, there are simply a LOT of VW fans in the US as it is the only European brand with youth appeal to have been here for a long time. So a lot of VW fanboys write in English as a result, meaning lots of text added to the VW articles. And... many photos too, and for VW, height more current models photos are allowed than for Renault... Notice that saying that VW has a lot of fanboys in the US is a VW fanboy statement itself. The truth is that VW sells a little in the US (-11% in 2014, in a +8% growing market) and is not popular among young people. That is what statistics reveal.

    When Vrac writes about me "linguistic quirks", it is incivility and a personal attack. I heard some racists saying the same words about an Indian man someday. Vrac also accuses another person of being a sock-puppet or something like that, so he can do what he accuses me to do, but that I did not. As to me, I just mentioned that pseudonyms are more anonymous than a precise IP addr.. It is a real possibility that one person uses several pseudonyms, not an incivility.

    About : CONSISTENCY : same rules and same structure of sections for ALL the automotive brands and harassment of Renault and a few other brands :

    • Urbanoc does not apply the same "rules" between Renault and VW for example. Here Urbanoc removed a photo of the Megane current model in the Renault article, stating that the photos are too numerous [155] whereas there were only 4 photos of the current models in the Renault article, but there are 3 DOZENS of photos of the current models in the VW article and in the case of VW, and Urbanoc and his friends do not remove even one photo. 8 times more photos in the VW article is not too much, but 8 times less photos in the Renault article is too much : it is inconsistent and unequal. Urbanoc even explained here [[156]] that there is a rule (?) "two images of relevant current products would be enough". Where is written this "rule" ? And why Urbanoc does not ask that his "rule" to be respected in the VW article where there are 3 dozens of photos of the current models not only four ? Such unequal treatments are not acceptable. Yet, I obeyed Urbanoc and I did not add a photo of the Megane current model. So, no I don't create any dispute.
    • Here Urbanoc removes the photo of Renault Captur that is the most sold in Europe, but keeps the second SUV [157]]... Not logical... Yet there is enough space to put 2 photos.
    • Here Urbanoc removes AGAIN a Renault model (that's why the word harassment is justified and proved) from a list, because he says that it is too long, but why 20 models can be cited and not Renault ? [[158]]. Why does he have the power to "decide" arbitrarily and alone when a list is "too long", and why removing Renault and not one of the others ? Notice that someone put Ford and Opel first in the list, but after these 2 brands the list is in alphabetical order... But Urbanoc did not correct that, he only removed Renault.
    • Here Urbanoc wrote the typical anti-Renault rhetoric : "proved unsuccessful" or "uncompetitive" and Renault is bad, because "100 years ago it built some tanks", exactly what he added here : [[159]]. Notice that his source is unverifiable (a book that nobody could find) and on the contrary there are some historical facts that the Renault plane engine won some races and beat some speed records, so how could it be "proved unsuccessful" ?
    • Here Vrac [160] removed from the Renault "is known for its role in motor sport, and its success over the years in rallying and Formula 1." Why ? It is a true information. Removing that without any discussion is to vandalize the article, isn't it ? Else what is the definition here of vandalize ? Renault introduced the turbo for the first time in F1, and won 12 engine manufacturer title and 11 drivers titles. It is fair to mention : Renault "is known for its role in motor sport, and its success over the years in rallying and Formula 1." and Vrac should have not erasing that. Notice that this sentence was in the article for a long time and that I did not add it.

    I will write more proofs about the unequal treatment of the brands on Wikipedia later. I am fair, my contributions are true and sourced. I am not uncivil. And there is a real problem of unequal treatment of brands on Wikipedia. The positive informations are regularly removed from the Renault article by Urbanoc, Vrac etc. 83.157.24.224 (talk) 20:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Have a nice evening.

    Frankly, the kind of edits I made in Renault and Renault-related articles is clearly visible through my edit history, so anyone can judge if I'm editing "against" Renault. The IP editor actitude has always been beligerant and he has made a lot of wild accusations he has still to prove. Urbanoc (talk) 05:36, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The IP editor has refused to engage with a number of editors, and makes some ridiculous claims. He confused difference of opinion with vandalism. I find the tone and unfounded allegations distasteful, and would go as far as to suggest a temporary block may be useful so s/he has an opportunity to read the WP conventions and policies. As with Urbanoc above, my edit history will demonstrate significant content I have added and edited over the years to various French car articles. Warren (talk) 15:47, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Undisclosed writing of articles for pay

    We have a bunch of accounts that are writing articles for pay. This is just the first of many. One of the most recent articles is here Jerome Katz which I have nominated for deletion.

    What are peoples thoughts on this? Do we allow someone to pay to have their CV or business put on Wikipedia and if we do not what measures do we put in place when we discover it is happening? What should be our response when sock puppets are involved? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:04, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Out of interest you say there are "a bunch of accounts" and that "this is the first of many", but you link to an AN/I about one paid editor. Who are the others?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 21:11, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:COI covers this pretty well. That said, unpaid advocacy by ordinary editors is a much bigger problem in my opinion. Far too many editors wouldn't know a neutral point of view if it fell on them and are perfectly happy to push Wikipedia and its articles in whatever direction they personally think is proper. The only difference is that a very small few have managed to get paid in cash for it while the vast majority simply get paid by thinking that they're doing the noble deed of "fixing" or "improving" or "protecting" Wikipedia. Through that lens, the few who are getting paid for it are a minor problem. And while there are certainly smarter and more sophisticated efforts to shape Wikipedia articles via paid agents, the best are probably never found out. As long as Wikipedia is influential there will be efforts to "make it work for us", and making a big show of busting a couple small fry here and there probably won't make much difference in the big picture. – JBarta (talk) 02:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The article Doc has nominated was already nominated for deletion once tonight, and passed as clearly notable because the subject holds a named chair at SLU. I'll note that I haven't received any money for it but have already declared it on my user page, so as far as this particular article is concerned I don't see any real transgressions.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 03:07, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:PROD is alike but different than WP:AfD. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree when you call them "small fry" if more editors are encouraged to edit and get paid for it then it will become an issue. To be paid editing undermines what Wikipedia is about it being a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. That being said there is also the possibility of the paid editor doing real harm to things such as BLP articles. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:03, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I've never seen anyone ask for edits to a BLP page, although it might be worth looking at Freelancer.com; it's pretty low end and there are some very dubious jobs on it. Here are today's requests for Wikipedia edits from Elance.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 03:15, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is a pretty interesting read, considering you are a more or less a publicist if you accept money to put someone's CV or company on Wikipedia: Wikipedia:For publicists publicizing a client's work. Even a 2-second glance at Elance reveals enough to churn your stomach. There's someone asking for two pages to be written, and they say they want it to be just like Zeus Mortgage, which they probably paid someone else to work on in the past. That one leads to Blueskymorning (talk · contribs) and further down the rabbit hole. --Laser brain (talk) 03:28, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Not exactly. When they say they want it to be "just like" some other page it usually means they've trawled for examples and picked one they like. It happens with web page content too; they'll say "I've seen this awesome site, can you do me one just like it?" The obvious answer is "Copy it and change a few words, you lazy sod," but meh. I have bills to pay.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 03:54, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes exactly. So we have lots of concerns. The next question is how should we respond? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:42, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, that depends on what you mean. I don't like you very much, Doc, as you know, but I'm here for now. If you mean how to respond to me I'll leave you to it. If you mean how to respond to freelancers in general, well, you have one right here who has nothing to gain or lose, and if any of you have any questions fire away. Frustrating as you all are I do generally like Wikipedia, so why not?--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 03:58, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    No this section is not about you specifically, it is about paid editing generally. Your friends have sent me lots of your tweets so I am clear on your feels. Happy to hear what suggesting you have wrt "frelancers in general" Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:40, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Wow. I'm almost touched. No, I'm not really. I still don't like you at all. However. I don't personally see anything wrong with paid editing if the result is a notable, neutral article. If good content is added, what does it matter? What you need to stop is advocacy and malicious attacks on company websites; people request that. They're against Wiki TOCs, so that means posting them is against Elance TOCs and if you ask them they'll take the jobs down. As for paid jobs that comply with COI, add a note to the create article screen mentioning the disclosure rules. I really didn't know about that because it's not exactly prominent.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Because you never know, but if you ask nicely I might just have something that can help you :-)--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:00, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    A better question might be... how or why is WP:COI and current remedies insufficient? – JBarta (talk) 04:01, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    In theory they're adequate, as long as editors abide by the rules. Here's a problem; I genuinely didn't know I had to disclose the paid articles. Obviously that doesn't excuse the fact that I tried to hide one, but that doesn't matter. Some freelancers are going to make genuine mistakes like that and end up in the crap. Some, and they will be the ones who advocate or vandalise (probably company) pages will not.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    If you didn't like Elance you're going to hate this.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:24, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    And of course I'll mention again all the advocacy work going on by folks who don't get paid in cash and are arguably an issue a thousand times as large. That Zeus Mortgage was written or edited by someone who was paid a few bucks is an infinitesimally small issue that has zero impact on the integrity of Wikipedia in any pratical sense. You could add a thousand more articles like it and the impact would be the same... zero. I think WAY too much emphasis is placed on "paid in cash" editing. As if somone getting paid is going to have any more potential to be a POV editor than any Tom, Dick or Harry on a mission to "fix" or "protect" Wikipedia. Or that a paid editor is less likely to follow policy and guidelines. Just look at most any talk page to see all the editors not getting paid a thing and variously disregarding the rules. This just smells like a savior with a solution desperately looking for a problem. – JBarta (talk) 04:30, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Shrug. I wrote a few that got deleted because I didn't understand WP:N well enough to know I should turn down the jobs. I really wish I hadn't taken on the one I tried to hide, because it was advocacy. But if someone writes a notable, NPOV article that actually adds worthwhile information I don't personally see an issue. But I think you're underestimating the scale it's happening on. Elance and Freelancer are the tip of the iceberg. There's oDesk, Fiverr and a bunch of other scummy sites like that. Elance has fairly strict TOCs. Freelancer does in theory but never enforces them, especially not on cheating clients. The rest are a free for all.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:35, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes exactly there are a ton of sites out there offering these services. It is fairly easy to pick up the cases in which it has occurs. And many of these people are using sock or throw away accounts because they wish to stay undetected. Only a very small minority is above board. I guess there are two question:
    1. Should we care about paid editing
    2. Even if we do care is there anything we can do about it Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:53, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    See above. But if the article meets N and NPOV, no, why should you care? I disagree that only a minority of paid editors are above board; most mean well. The problem is the clients have no idea about notability and neither do most editors. I've had people ask for an article, I say no, not notable, and they're like "What if I put out a press release?" I said yes a couple of times, which is how I learned about WP:N.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 04:59, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Which leads on to: It is fairly easy to pick up the cases in which it occurs. It's not, really. I was doing paid edits for nearly 2 years before anyone noticed, and that's only because VMS had my Twitter handle on her site. And I haven't exactly been a low-profile editor.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 05:01, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    But then, if you don't notice a paid editor is there actually a problem that needs solved? A lot of the time, probably not.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 05:02, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    But that stuff is small potatoes. Of more concern is the unpaid advocacy of more important topics, like major political, major events, divisive issues, etc etc... even down to medium importance stuff. A dozen highly motivated unpaid editors can do a whole lot more damage to the integrity of Wikipedia than a hundred people getting paid to whip up largely minor articles that are lucky to get 10 pageviews per week. And Wikipedia has a LOT of these highly motivated editors... all "legitimate" in the context of this discussion. Think of it as rigging a mosquito net while ignoring the tiger standing next to you. And keep in mind, that paid editor is on the clock while the unpaid one has all the time in the world. – JBarta (talk) 05:05, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree, which is why I don't think paid editing is a problem as long as the content is N and NPOV. There are paid advocates though. The case I tried to hide, I got accused of running socks. I've never done that because I truly loathe sockpuppets, but I'm bloody sure the alleged socks were being paid by the same person as me. A group of motivated amateurs can do a lot of damage, but eventually they'll get weeded out by AN/I. A malicious client with enough cash can send in an endless string, and an SPI won't pick them up.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 05:14, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    My suggestion is that, as much as possible, you pick them off at the job sites before anyone is hired. Traditional freelancers won't touch wiki jobs. So a daily patrol of Freelancer and Elance would let you flag the egregious ones and get them delisted before anyone was hired. The sites have mechanisms to prevent clients talking to potential freelancers before hiring, so they don't take the job (and commission) off site.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 05:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes agree with User:FergusM1970 the best way to deal with this is at the sites in question. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    How do you propose doing that? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:25, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    In case you missed it, my suggestion was scanning the main sites a couple of times a day and flagging any jobs that violate WP TOCs. Elance, and probably Freelancer, will delist them.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 05:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    You mean tagging an article with something like "The editing of this article has been listed at whateverlance so good editors be on the lookout and have your pikes at the ready"? – JBarta (talk) 05:38, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Do we have a template for that yet? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Whipping up yet another template is the easy part. But without some automated system, some poor sop is gonna have to manually scope out these sites and place the tags, then someone else is gonna have to remove them, blah blah blah. More problems than it's worth in my opinion. However, if someone wants to come up with some sort of automated tool that regularly scans certain websites looking for this sort of thing and place tags automatically and remove them automatically when "the danger has passed", that would certainly be fine by me. But keep in mind, the minute someone invents a lock, someone else figures out how to pick it. The end result of all this will be just as many paid editors... but they'll be harder to detect. Maybe a more practical approach would be to welcome paid editors and allow them to operate in the open. Editors have all sorts of motivations to edit here.... money is simply one of them... and not necessarily an evil one in my opinion. And if it's any consolation, the percentage of paid editors probably always has been and always will be very very very small. – JBarta (talk) 06:41, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course, if the specific article target isn't determinable from those other sites, then the my above post is useless. It's very possible my inexperience with these freelancer sites is showing through... I should probably talk less and read more. – JBarta (talk) 19:12, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    No, you're right, nine times out of ten it's impossible to identify the specific article from what's publicly displayed. The only way to tell would be from the post-hiring discussions and you're never going to be able to see that. The client name also won't likely give you any clues. However if you flag the article using the Report Violation link it will most likely be delisted.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 20:50, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Is this a bad time to suggest you hire me to do it for you? $25 an hour. Cheap at twice the price. No, really, it will take a small amount of manpower but you could potentially get quite a few. It won't work with the crappy little sites, but the problematic clients with more cash will be on Elance or Freelancer anyway. Nobody's going to trust a lot of money to Fiverr's payment system.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 05:26, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    So I guess FergusM1970 is blocked now. I assume he's blocked from talk as well. Fine timing. Oh well. Sayonara dude, and best of luck... – JBarta (talk) 06:04, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    FergusM1970 is unblocked at the moment. What I've seen is that the talk page include Template:Paid article for clarification. This isn't policy though so that may be something to consider. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 17:49, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Here's another suggestion: An article may have a mix of paid and unpaid edits, and usually unpaid ones are going to dominate. If a stigma is going to attach to paid edits - and personally I don't think it always should - marking the article seems harsh. Better to do it at the level of edits. Currently you have a check box for "Minor edit". Add another one for "Paid edit". Obviously it depends on compliance, but with the exception of doing what I suggested and screening the main freelancing sites, what doesn't? That way someone can patrol the work of good-faith paid editors.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 20:42, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmmm, maybe they could get paid to patrol them, right? Might be a nice little earner. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:50, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Naturally if that happens I'll be the first to apply, but plenty editors spend time patrolling edits anyway. This would just involve them giving a bit more priority to those marked as paid. Then they could give the editors (who after all are good-faith ones, seeing as they're doing it openly) some help on complying with N, NPOV or whatever.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 20:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Aww, shucks. I nearly fell for that! Darn it. Martinevans123 (talk)
    Fair one. If you mean what I think you do it would be more accurate to say there's a reasonable chance they're good faith; obviously bad-faith ones could use that as a fig leaf. In that case it would be down to the editor to decide on the merits of the edit itself. If a paid editor had fixed bad grammar, obviously no problem. But if they'd just deleted all reference to a controversy it would need investigating.--FergusM1970Let's play Freckles 21:10, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Range block genius wanted for dealing with Tamaulipas vandal

    Hi admins, a Mexico-based IP keeps vandalizing articles and hopping IPs. This has been going on for the better part of 2014 (I first noticed them circa April/May 2014.) I believe they are the same operators who were disrupting Ilion Animation Studios and United Plankton Pictures, which resulted in both articles being protected. Most of the IPs geolocate to the Mexican state Tamaulipas, and I think most of them are from the ISP Uninet S.A. de C.V. There has been a recent flurry of activity at Peep and the Big Wide World.

    List of problematic IPs

    Some of the older IPs used are:

    • 189.235.128.48 - Possibly the earliest IP used?
    • 189.250.245.222
    • 189.250.231.38
    • 189.250.210.201
    • 189.250.224.222
    • 189.235.143.210
    • 189.235.178.206
    • 189.250.213.120

    Some of the more recent ones are:

    • 189.235.143.101 (added Dec 2014)
    • 189.235.223.202 (added Dec 2014)
    • 189.235.25.178 (added Dec 2014)
    • 189.250.242.110 (added Dec 2014)
    • 189.235.24.23 (added 12.21.14)
    • 189.250.213.172
    • 189.235.213.238
    • 189.250.229.19
    • 189.235.24.23
    • 189.250.242.110
    • 189.235.25.178
    • 189.235.223.202

    Anyhow, it's clearly disruptive, so if anybody can come up with a plan for dealing with this user, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:25, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The subranges are 189.235.0.0/16, 189.250.192.0/18. I looked as a CU, and both of them have significant logged-in editing, as well as a small amount of productive logged out editing. There is also some account creation. If we were to block them, it would probably be best to start with a short term and see efficacy, and then extend length if necessary. Also, account creation should probably be left enabled, at least at first, to minimize collateral. NativeForeigner Talk 22:04, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm having trouble loading some WMF tools today, so can't view the range contributions to see if other pages are also being targeted. The article Peep and the Big Wide World (edit talk history protect delete links watch logs views) had just come off a 3-week semi-protection that expired just over 24 hours ago. Due to the considerable IP disruption today, I have extended the semi-protection for an additional 3-months. If this article is the primary focus of the disruptive user behind the IP, then range-blocks may not be necessary if there's risk of collateral impact. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 22:44, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not aware of the extent of the editing--I mentioned Ilion and United Plankton above, also Peep. Dragon Tales is another. I don't get the sense that they are interested in too many articles, but they are persistent, and as soon as a protection expires, they come back fairly quickly to damage the article, as you already mentioned with Peep. Another example, here they returned within 3 days of the protection being lifted. I hadn't linked specific logged in users to this IP vandal, so depending on what those accounts are editing, a different story could unfold. Grazie. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:38, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    As a result of this I'll do some fairly extensive semi=protection, and we'll see how that holds, or if he gains new interests. NativeForeigner Talk 00:52, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Scratch the above, I'll look into it in some more detail. Not all of it is pure vandalism. The following articles have been edited by the IP ranges, and are in the same subject area: Dragon Tales, Cubeez, Fetch the Vet, Peep and the Big Wide World, Engie Benjy, Oggy and the Cockroaches, Henry's World, ¡Mucha_Lucha!, Franklin (TV series), Zoboomafoo, and maybe a couple others, this is just the last three months. NativeForeignerTalk 00:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Native, I took a look at some of the articles you linked to. This edit from the IP range at Oggy and the Cockroaches is vandalism. We would never have that many companies listed in the network parameter for instance, and the content is a resubmission of this At Cubeez are eight consecutive edits that have zero net result followed by another two pointless edits at Fetch the Vet for a total of 10 "test" edits. Most of the IP range's edits at Henry's World were reverted, like this unsupported cat and these obviously disruptive category changes. At Mucha Lucha we find an unsourced network addition, unsourced company, a bizarre addition after the bcdb template at the bottom, but if that's not convincing as vandalism, this edit a few hours later at Dragon Tales again floods the company parameter. There was this useless edit at Zoboomafoo. I have yet to see anything of value come out of this range. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:29, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    User:The Rapper Nyn T

    It has been my position for some time that an account in the name of a brand-name, such as a performer's stage name, is a species of advertisement for the "personal brand" they are attempting to build. Every such account I've ever seen has been used to publicize their career, either on the userpage or by creating a promotional "article" or both. I routinely block such accounts as spamusernames, and leave the usual message urging them to open new accounts without the spammy name, and to respect our rules on COI, promotion and autobiography. --Orange Mike Talk 04:13, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    It seems that she is not yet personally notable enough for a Wikipedia biography, but my personal opinion is that she may well be soon, as a philanthropist perhaps, and it is plausible that people will increasingly search for information about her, given her family's massive wealth and influence. She is a talented, appealing young woman with the resources to make a difference. The skills of an administrator talented with disambiguation, merging several deleted articles, and evaluating emerging celebrity notability would be very useful here.

    86.2.216.5

    This individual has accused me of copyright violations, but after I have asked him where. He has simply ignored my questions. [161] He basically called me a liar [162] and has had a very rude tone with me in general. [163]

    Ater I repeatedly asked him where my alleged copyvio's were he stated my userspace. [164]. I am sure that he knows that userspace isn't for copyright as he has fixed references on my userspace. He puts forth the claim that I am upset that articles I wrote had delete votes. [165] I have authored over 40 articles, and if someone votes to delete it, I don't take it to heart. What I find bothersome as per WP:HOUND is that this user has been going through wikipedia, editing a good number of articles that I am at, my userspace articles, and AFD's. [166] .


    This is not his first issue of disruptive editing. [167] and warning to those who report him. [168] I asked that he stop following me on pages, insulting me, and editing my userpages. [169]CrazyAces489 (talk) 07:16, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I just looked through those links, what exactly is the behavior in question? It simply appears to be someone taking a contrary point of view and expressing concerns. If I am missing something please point it out. Chillum 07:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I am being falsely accused of copyviolations, called me a liar, etc. Also about 50% of his edits this month have been on articles I created or participated in or on my userfied articles. 30% of his edits from mid october are on my userspace, articles I created or userspace. I am not sure who (s)he is, but his recent behavior has caused me to become annoyed as per wiki hound. I ask that you have him stay away from me. I am only trying to create good articles. His name calling and otherwise rude behavior isn't helping my desire at doing this. CrazyAces489 (talk) 07:46, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    What do you mean by "userspace isn't for copyright"? (A copyright violation is a copyright violation, wherever it is). Squinge (talk) 09:37, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Squinge, I have not copied any text from any website. I summarize information and place a reference on my userspace. CrazyAces489 (talk) 11:37, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I responded to your question re the copyvio and posted the relevant link at least twice. Two of the pertinent parts: "I linked the relevant details re the copyright issue when stated above, WP:CWW contributions to wikipedia are subject to a license which requires attribution, copying and pasting a whole article loses that attribution so is in breach of the license. " and "You cut and paste the whole article, the original article in your userspace has more editors than just you. Those users as per the link given licensed the text requiring attribution, that's where the problem arises.". If you followed the link WP:CWW it's about copying within wikipedia, cutting and pasting an article around wikipedia loses attribution. That is the case here (and another you recently have done into user space). That's a copyright issue. It's not the biggest issue in the world and in this case would be easy to fix, but it's an issue.
    As for the rest of your claims I'd like you to back them up, I have presented a situation with the evidence, you are inferring from that various things and then attributing those things you've inferred to me. As for hounding you, that's laughable. I've engaged with you on two discussions both in the last few days, other than those (and this now) there is no turning up everywhere and making your life difficult. I noticed one article on DRV a while back and put some effort into fixing the citation into proper citation templates, something which was highlighted by others in the DRV and something others have spoken to you about. You know I did that because I half suspected if you stripped away the junk there might be an article there. If helping out constitutes hounding then I am at a loss.
    In this overall case I have pointed out and instance where you have ignored the consensus in a DRV and gone ahead and recreated the article, I've fixed citations on a user space draft or two, I've fixed citations on a mainspace page and tagged it for questionable notability. Rather than accept that the recreation wasn't too wise and appreciate the effort spent tidying the articles you'd rather attempt to ban me from pointing out any future problems like the first one. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 10:10, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    One more thing with regards the mudslinging suggesting I've been warned before please see this. My user talk page was tagged with a warning by an obvious vandal since I'd tagged one of his hoax articles for deletion. Another user obviously not familar with user page policy decide I wasn't permitted to remove such warnings from own talk page. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 10:14, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I ask that you stay off of articles that I am editing in my userspace. The point of me using it is to create an article and move it to userspace. I neither invited you nor did I want your edits. You have followed me onto many articles for I am not sure what reason. you openly mocked me and have put me down on even this AN/I . How are over 50% of your edits this month on articles I have either created or interact on? You have been following me on articles since the middle of October. I created this article Latoya Hanson and you edit on it within two days? That is WP:HOUND . I am not sure who you are or what you want with me. If I have interacted with you on a username or an article before, please tell me so that I won't edit on that article. I am unsure why you are following me around. CrazyAces489 (talk) 10:24, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    See Wikipedia:Ownership_of_articles#User_pages the edits are valid edits fixing the citation style. I have not followed you onto many articles, I have edited that one in your userspace having seen it at DRV to fix citations, more recently I fixed a duplicate citation in another article you listed on DRV (I hang around DRV generally) and finally I fixed some citations on Latoya Hanson which I saw when reviewing your edits. That is 3 articles where I have fixed citation style, not many articles. I am not hounding you (You should read WP:HOUND "...and joining discussions on multiple pages..." as noted above I've engaged in two related discussions with your over the last few days and that's it, hardly following you around), as previously stated I could easily have gone to the AFDs which are running at the moment and just blindly voted delete if I wanted to annoy you. Your sole annoyance seems to come from the fact that I was willing to point out that you had recreated an article in direct contravention of the DRV consensus. If it helps I will voluntarily agree not to bother trying to fix the articles in your userspace. I will not be restricted from fixing issues on articles on mainspace regardless of who wrote the or commenting at DRV/AfD. If you want to avoid scrutiny I suggest you start reading and understanding the policies before acting, perhaps a mentor? --86.2.216.5 (talk) 11:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    You can vote as you please. That isn't what bothered me. Following me around making inflammatory comments toward me is annoying. You stating that I am disingenuous and knowingly violating wiki policy is bothering me. I have not done this.

    There are hundreds if not thousands of articles that you can go on. A large percentage of your edits are on my articles since October 14!

    "Wikihounding WP:HOUND is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Wikihounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia." I am telling you now that I am annoyed with you following me around. Please stop! Please!CrazyAces489 (talk) 11:34, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I highlighted the significant part for you and I'll do it again. joining discussions, which I haven't done, but you seem to think "you can vote as you please" is fine. You have this policy 100% the wrong way around. Of those you list one is a discussion I joined in (and one doesn't make following around), and one is a discussion where I made a minor tweak to not include fair use images outside article space where our WP:NFCC requires them to be. These are both in the last few days. Again your complaint of this on going hounding is nonsense. I've been fixing citations that is not some dark way to irritate people, it's a way of improving the encyclopedia. I've been doing this without any other interaction with your for a while, since the DRV where one editor pointed out " Needs work on the format of the references.", and another "the references are very poorly formatted.", I'll contrast that with your response to the DRV where people bemoaned the poor formatting, using unreliable sources etc. Your response - ignore the formatting and just pile in a load more trivial and/or unreliable references. I'm really wondering if there is a WP:COMPETENCE issue here. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 12:04, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment since we are here having this discussion and I don't want to now go to one of the AFDs and comment, can someone independent take a look at this and this which appear to be notes to two editors who previously opined keep and seems to be a WP:CANVAS problem. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 13:03, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Since the two of you only seem to be talking to each other you can do this on one of your talk pages. If you wish a response from an administrator then just wait for one. Chillum 23:32, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I will wait for an admin. I simply ask that he stops following me around. CrazyAces489 (talk) 10:32, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Since no other admin has commented I will give my opinion. I think that CrazyAces has taken offense at what is legitimate criticism. I think that Mr. 86.2.216.5 may be in the right but despite that should be the bigger person and avoid CA as much as is reasonable to do. If neither of you object I would like to close this discussion. If not then I will take that to be an indication that administrative action is desired. Chillum 10:38, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Firstly I object to CrazyAces489 characterization of following him around, let alone on many pages. He managed to come up with 5 pages we had in common, two of which were drafts listed at DRV which I frequent and have done so for a long time, if he wants to avoid DRV then that's fine, but I'm certainly not going to feel bound to ignore stuff listed there due to the authorship, nor making tweaks to obvious minor problems with the articles like citation style. The other two are not articles, but deletion discussions related to the DRV, so same there. I'll also note his main gripe of me editing his userspace is somewhat peculiar, since as I noted I've been gradually chipping away at the cites for two months without a word or problem. It's only now that I point something out he's all in a flap about it, I'll contrast that to other similar things from DRV like Honour (film) which in part is back in main space due to the effort I put in, the original author of that is flapping around shouting the odds. That all said, as I said many paragraphs ago and this could easily have stopped then, but has just continued to be poked at "If it helps I will voluntarily agree not to bother trying to fix the articles in your userspace." And with that it's Christmas and I'll be away for a few days, so have fun --86.2.216.5 (talk) 11:52, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    His "help" has come with relatively rude comments to me on "AFD's." I am again asking an admin to speak to him about these comments to me. I wold prefer he NOT follow me around Wikipedia. CrazyAces489 (talk) 20:47, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    At this point it is not likely this is going to get an admin response. I see nothing wrong with the IPs actions, CA needs to take criticism better. This IP has been working in the AfD areas for several weeks now and if you edit there you are likely to see this IP. Since no admin actionable behavior is happening here I suggest you two work it out of your talk pages, learn to work together or just ignore each other. Chillum 16:33, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Conflict of interest account repeatedly inserting promotional material

    Note: I am not involved in this dispute, but have observed it in passing.

    A new editor has recently appeared CarlThompson (talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log) whose sole editing contribution is to repeatedly add material promoting his company's product at PCSO-524.

    [170] Original insertion.

    [171] Removed as advertising.

    [172] Restored by CarlThompson. Note the edit summary clearly betrays the conflict of interest as he admits that the 'facts' are approved by his company's scientific panel.

    [173] Removed again as 'snake oil ad'.

    [174] CarlThompson asks on remover's talk page why he keeps removing his promotional material.

    [175] CarlThompson is directed to the Wikipedia policy on Conflict of interest.

    [176] CarlThompson ignores the policy and restores the promotional material.

    [177] CarlThompson is directed once again to the policy on Conflict of interest, this time on his own talk page.

    [178] CarlThompson once again restores the material ignoring Conflict of interest policy.

    [179] A new editor removes the material though does not specify why in the edit summary.

    [180] Restored by CarlThompson again.

    [181] Removed by a third contributor as promotional.

    [182] This third editor leaves yet another note on CarlThompson's talk page.

    This account is very clearly WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia but exists solely to add promotional material for his company's product in contravention of Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy (single purpose account). It is also clear that if he works for the company who makes the product and the material being added is 'approved' by that company than he is most likely being paid to add the disputed material. DieSwartzPunkt (talk) 16:18, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I note that the account has not been active since I (the "third editor" mentioned above) reverted him and left a detailed warning on his talk page. I suggest waiting to see how CarlThompson responds before taking administrative action. He has a choice to comply with my suggestions (to use talk pages, stop edit warring, and publicly disclose his COI), or not. No action is required if he makes the right choices. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:56, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I did not make my intentions clear (probably due to Christmas guests turning up). I was not expecting any sanctions against this account. What I was going to suggest was an appropriately worded authoritative warning on this account's talk page from an administrator which would underline the policy on the point. This is because this user has ignored two warnings on the conflict of interest, and one warning on paid editing. DieSwartzPunkt (talk) 18:15, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    For information only: A further warning has been left at yet another discussion started by CarlThompson here. DieSwartzPunkt (talk) 19:30, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Was my request closed by an admin or deleted by an editor?

    The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

    I am not sure exactly what happened to the request I posted a few days ago. This diff shows it was removed, but it is not clear to me who deleted it. Did an admin close it? Thanks. Airborne84 (talk) 15:56, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    It was actually removed with this diff, when a bot automatically archived it to here. Hopefully someone else can explain the bot's archiving rules because I'm not totally sure how it decides what to archive, but it seems to be some period of inactivity. Sam Walton (talk) 16:09, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Apparently the thread was archived because editors/admins didn't see much of value in the report. I agree, for this case. Now, the user has been blocked for edit warring before but that was a while ago. In this case a report at WP:ANEW would have been the better place, though a patrolling admin there might have noted that you reverted their initial edit twice, and that you might be the edit warrior there. Drmies (talk) 16:23, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @Drmies, that could be. Please advise if I didn't handle it correctly so I don't repeat in the future. The user had deleted a quote had had been part of the article for a long time—since at least May (I didn't look further back). I reverted the deletion, pointing to WP:BRD and inviting discussion on the talk page. The user instead deleted again, insisting the quote did not have consensus. I reverted, stated that he/she was edit warring, and asked them to take it to the talk page to build a consensus for change. Was the second revert on my part not appropriate? To be sure, if the user re-deleted the material again, I would not have reverted again; I would have then taken it to an admin. However, if a second revert to a version of an article that has had consensus for quite some time is not generally acceptable, please let me know. Perhaps taking it to an admin immediately after someone violates WP:BRD is more appropriate? Thanks. Airborne84 (talk) 18:05, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Airborne84, there's nothing simple about this, and the whole thing can be very frustrating. First of all, though, BRD isn't a policy so you can't really hang a case on it. Personally, I think BRD all too often gives the upper hand to the status quo editor; I think it is well-intended but also off-putting, and at any rate not adhering to it is not really disruption. Second, "taking it to an admin"--well, in this case an admin can't do much since no policies have been broken (yet--at least not 3R, for instance). Third your second revert isn't "wrong", necessarily (or against policy, or blockable, etc.), but if you're going to report someone for edit warring such a revert looks really bad.

      In a perfect world, after their reinstatement of their own edit you call up the troops on the talk page, find consensus, etc.--but that's not always easy. However, that is the best way to go about it, even if it doesn't always work, and even if it will go a lot slower than you think. Consensus on the talk page is typically iron-clad and the moment you have it, your opponent can be charged with disruptive editing ("editing against clear consensus") if they persist, and that's blockable.

      BTW, I looked at some of the discussion about that quote, and I'm not quite following. Someone said "FRINGE"--well, you're talking about Russell, so "idiosyncrasy" is appropriate, "fringe" is not. Personally I think the entire section needs to be looked at again since his view is very interesting, but the section needs to be trimmed, it needs to be much more a summary of the main article, and I don't know that editors in that discussion treated it as such. But that's by the by. Good luck, merry Christmas, and stay airborne, Drmies (talk) 22:21, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    At the very, very top of this page --in the edit buffer, not what you see rendered -- it says:

    {{User:MiszaBot/config  archiveheader = {{Administrators' noticeboard navbox all}}  maxarchivesize = 700K  counter = 866  algo = old(36h)  key = 95f2c40e2e81e8b5dbf1fc65d4152915  archive = Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive%(counter)d }}  

    which would make one think something called "MiszaBot" archives the page. No, this is Wikipedia, User:lowercase sigmabot III archives the page -- it replaced MiszaBot when it died, and no one wanted to go update all the configurations. So, nominally any thread that over 36 hours old will get archived the next time the bot runs, but sometimes certain constructs in a post might hold it up. When that happens, eventually some one gets tired of the old thread hanging forever and either archives it totally manually, or using a utility like User:Equazcion/OneClickArchiver.

    Missouri footnote on Template:Samesex marriage in USA map

    The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

    "Same-sex marriage is legal in St. Louis, Missouri" has been the wording for the Missouri footnote for almost a month now. That wording was changed and then I reverted that bold edit noting "We don't need to include rogue counties! Unlike Kansas, Missourian counties aren't 'within their right' to issue." Dralwik reverted me and said "I like this vaguer wording more." Since there was no consensus for the "vaguer" wording, I reverted the footnote back to its original wording per WP:STATUSQUO. Dralwik reverted the statusquo and said "Let's see if you violate 3RR". I definitely don't want to violate the 3RR rule, but I feel like per WP:STATUSQUO the original wording should be re-added until there is consensus for the other wording. WP:STATUSQUO says "If there is a dispute, editors are encouraged to work towards establishing consensus, not to have one's own way" and I feel like they went against this by reverting me because they "like" the other wording. They claim that there is consensus for the footnote due to the Color change proposal for Missouri. However, please note that their rough draft proposal for the wording was "Same-sex marriage is legal in St. Louis, Missouri" which is what the footnote has said for almost a month; but then they reverted against that wording twice! I'd like to see the template go back to the statusquo until there is a consensus for the other wording. Prcc27 (talk) 04:16, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Consensus can change. Just discuss it at the talk page. Why should the statusquo overrule the consensus forming at the talk page? And besides you also reverted User:Shereth's version so again, go to the talk page. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:42, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Ricky81682: That's the point, there is no consensus for changing the wording so the template should reflect the statusquo. WP:STATUSQUO says "During a dispute, until a consensus is established to make a change, the status quo reigns." Consensus may be "forming" but it isn't established. While the edit is being disputed the map should go back to the status quo. Once again, their rough draft proposal for the footnote had the status quo wording "Same-sex marriage legal in St. Louis, Missouri" but it wasn't until after everyone indicated they supported the coloring proposal for Missouri that Dralwik expressed they supported Shereth's wording and reverted me when I reverted the bold edit and then again when I reverted back to the status quo. Prcc27 (talk) 06:13, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Shereth's edit was a bold edit since the status quo version was up there for about a month and they changed it. So per WP:BRD the reverted bold edit should have stayed reverted while we're discussing and while we're working on consensus! Prcc27 (talk) 06:18, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Question: is this in the right noticeboard or does it belong in the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard..? Prcc27 (talk) 06:22, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    DRN is probably more appropriate. Remember that BRD and STATUSQUO are essays not policies. They have never been elevated as such and so that's why there isn't likely to be much of an concern about what the current version should be. At this stage, move towards finding a consensus which hopefully is a middle ground that all parties can agree upon. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:41, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh okay thanks, I will probably take my concerns to the DRN and I will keep working towards a consensus on the footnote wording. Prcc27 (talk) 11:07, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kronos initially responded to reversion by calling it vandalism (continuing even after being asked to stop), and has since gone on accuse others of "CENSORSHIP", "HIDING THE TRUTH" (with a rant about religion that probably goes against AGF), and "HIDING WHAT EVOLUTION IS" (even though his edit made things less focused). He thinks that undoing his work is "an attack against humanity". With posts like this, it's clear that he has little-to-no capacity to assume good faith.

    He claims he was blocked "FOR TRYING TO WORK WITH PEOPLE" and that he was never given the chance to explain his edits, which is a patent lie. He was told repeatedly to use the talk page, and warned about edit warring. He has regularly asked for explanations that have been repeatedly explained at both Talk:Evolution and on his talk page.

    I think we're looking at a case of WP:NOTHERE and WP:RGW. He clearly sees Wikipedia as a platform for his writing, not for collaboration. He believes that he's "trying to defend humanity" (source) with his tantrums.

    And if anyone wants to try to make this a content dispute, his edits were reverted by multiple editors for being off-topic and not being a summary of the rest of the article. Heck, even his own fans are arguing against his edits.

    I welcome the possibility of improvement from any inexperienced editor, but it's not our hopes that determine whether that happens. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:27, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm concerned about WP:OUTING but what is required right now? We can't stop him from his off-wiki conduct. He's current blocked here. If you believe User:TheProfessor is a WP:SOCK or WP:MEAT puppet, report it at WP:SPI if you'd like but that editor has been here since 2011 so otherwise you need to assume good faith . I'll review his user talk page and see if removing talk page access is required. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:58, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't believe TheProfessor is a sock or meatpuppet (which is why I never mentioned him), but DonaldKronos's Google plus post does call for help on Wikipedia, his block is only going to last about another day and a half, and the off-site recruiting is part of a larger problem with DonaldKronos. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:06, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the other editor did at the talk page so I wanted to clarify that. It wasn't directed at you, my apologies for any confusion. I asked User:EdJohnston to review it rather than me just increase it at the moment. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:10, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Ricky81682 and Ian.thomson, I'd like to address this. Where would be appropriate? TheProfessor (talk) 14:41, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Whether he gets it or not, at the very least, I think the discussion on his talk page has calmed down. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:19, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment - Having read most of what DonaldKronos has written on his talk page, this is a clear case of WP:CIR. Any expectation the behavior will change and he'll become a useful contributor is just wishful thinking. My view is cut him loose and who cares what he writes on his Google+ page. Next. – JBarta (talk) 05:23, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    You mean block him completely now? His block is only for three days. I'm pretty certain a WP:NOTHERE block will follow instantly after that if his behavior hasn't changed by then but I'm still in line with waiting it out. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:37, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I mean just indefinitely block him now. – JBarta (talk) 06:42, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that's necessary. I think we should at least give him a second chance. Also, a mentor would probably help a great deal. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:04, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree to give a second chance. And block him instantly if he continues to be tendentious, disruptive, and uncivil. TheProfessor (talk) 14:37, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Much to my surprise, I was not notified about this ANI report. Shevonsilva, please stop. You are approaching the level of personal attacks against me here. I'm inclined to WP:Assume good faith, but it doesn't seem like you're doing it for me. Your untrue accusations that I did not "thoroughly investigate the source I provided" Is untrue - I actually looked for more sources on these articles before heading to AfD, as you can see in my AfD nom. I understand that you may be upset that your hard work is being deleted, but please know that I am not trying to hurt you, insult you, or attack you - in fact, I am not criticizing you as a person, just these articles that happen to be the ones you created. I hope you can understand this, and resolve this peaceably. kikichugirl speak up! 05:06, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    He doesn't seem to be saying you're attacking him; he just doesn't understand that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and that just because it's valuable information doesn't mean it should be included. Please read those links, Shevonsilva--they're important and stuff. ekips39 05:20, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I've done a little bit of cleanup on a couple of his articles, merging their content (where there was some), and then redirecting. I am certain the editor has good intentions, although, as these edits indicate, there is a WP:CIR issue - more copyediting is required. JoeSperrazza (talk)

    Very obvious legal threat. But is there any merit to the complaint? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:18, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Generally speaking, the number of reasons given for a complaint is inversely proportional to its validity, even more so when several of them are contradictory. Dating back to November on Commons: "photoshopped forgery" (of the IAC logo worn by several people in the image). Then here two days ago: "This cannot be Arvind *KEJRIWAL*" (in said image). Well, actually it clearly is Arvind Kejriwal, so... "This forged image has been photo-shopped to defame CM candidate Arvind Kejriwal by showing him consorting with Maoist terrorists", and then when all else fails and despite previously claiming twice that it was a photoshopped forgery "this image is copied from a photo set published in India by IAC on 28 May 2012 and its copyright vests in IAC". Online evidence suggests even this latter claim is dubious in several respects. In any case, this is a matter for Commons which hosts the file and its description (and has already blocked multiple IAC socks)—not English Wikipedia. Bugs, I suggest you read Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/India Against Corruption sock-meatfarm for background. Voceditenore (talk) 13:13, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Very good. It's possible they have a valid concern, but if it's about the alleged trademark status of their organization's name, etc., it would seem their quarrel should be addressed in the Indian court system, not in Wikipedia. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:06, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Vejvančický refuses to change tack

    The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

    I request some assistance again with respect to Vejvančický. On 13th December I had written here requesting suggestions on how to handle user Vejvančický who was repeatedly attacking me and refusing to back off despite my request. Jehochman suggested to Vejvančický to not refer to me again on Wikipedia, except to request arbitration, or to make peace. Vejvančický confirmed on his talk page that he would follow Jehochman's suggestion. Unfortunately, the very next edit that Vejvančický made after that, which was today on the talk page of an article in reply to some IP,[190], Vejvančický again has made a personal attack mentioning my name and various references of mine to again (and again) allege his allusion that the article was created (ostensibly by me) to show the subject in bad light. To the IP, Vejvančický chats up about starting an arbitration request (!!) and that these links alluding to me should be pasted on the talk page of the article for editors not familiar with the situation. I request help for some kind of a closure on this. If Vejvančický wants to file an arbitration request, he's welcome to do that. But he should, in my opinion, at least follow some decorum in the meanwhile. Any guidance to handle this will be welcome... Wifione Message 11:07, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Retire. That would be the honourable thing to do. Your activity was seen for what it was a long time ago. Andreas JN466 18:40, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not going to spend time now reading the very long backstory here. The advice I gave was for that editor to ignore you, or to go provide his claims at Arbitration. If he ignored my advice, my intention was to file arbitration myself to get the issue resolved one way or the other. Since I'm too busy to do that today, I suggest you go file Arbitration and get these issues cleared up once and for all. Jehochman Talk 00:37, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Wifione, your comment above, "Vejvančický confirmed on his talk page that he would follow Jehochman's suggestion" is misleading. Vejvančický actually said, "Hello Jehochman. I'll follow your suggestion ad (1)"
    The "(1)" he agreed to was Jehochman's first suggestion: "(1) if you want to file a request for arbitration to desysop or ban him". He agreed to none of Jehochman's other suggestions in that conversation.
    You are an obviously biased editor. Your biased editing of articles about that business and its owner and their competitors is sufficient to have you desysopped and banned from Wikipedia.
    You appear to be an employee or contractor of the company: you (most likely, given the circumstances and nature of the edit, or someone else) editing from that company's network made a maintenance edit to your user page.[191] But proving a financial connection beyond doubt will be difficult. Fortunately, that won't be necessary. The blatant tendentiousness of your editing alone disqualifies you from participating here. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 07:41, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Jayen, Anthony, thanks for commenting. I've read your viewpoints and disagree with your views completely. I do realise the genesis of your opinions lies on another website where you've been judiciously prompted to provide this analysis. Given this connection both of you have outside our project, I don't think any reply of mine might suffice for you, although I would be more than eager to provide them to you in case you might wish. At the same time, I should thank you for taking the time out to comment (honestly, I suspect I would have died in embarrassment if no one from your group had commented). Wifione Message 18:42, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Jehochman, thanks for your reply. Would take up the matter procedurally from hereon in case Vej continues his personal attacks. Thanks. Wifione Message 18:42, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    (Wifione closed this discussion with the comment, "Closing discussion and following this up procedurally." Well, I've re-opened it procedurally, in order to respond to this shill.)

    I don't do anyone's bidding here. You do. For that, you'll be banned. I saw this mentioned on Wikipediocracy and was stunned that you weren't banned the last time this arose. Resign, or drag your client through a humiliating spectacle. I don't care which you choose. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 00:13, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi again Andrew. It's not about anyone's bidding, but your off-Wiki coordination leading unto these comments and personal attacks from you, Jayen and the others belonging to your group that are quite obvious from your off-Wiki discussions with others. Like I said above, although it might be useless for me to reiterate it given your antecedents, let me again put forward that your attacks and outing attempts are extremely misdirected. Having said that, I'll again close this discussion with the slim hope that you and your off-Wiki group would see some sense in not running down a very ludicrous path. Again, although it might seem out of character, in return to your comments above let me wish you and your off-Wiki group a merry Christmas. It's not meant to prove anything or to slight you all... just plain old wishes the plain old way. Take care and wishes for the season. WifioneMessage 15:20, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    It would be becoming if you would addresss the substance of the allegations instead of trying to shift the burden through the fallacious argument of guilt by association. The fact that criticism may come from wikipediocracy does not mean that the critique is not valid. The question is if you are an advocate looking after specific corporate interests. Following the links posted here I have seen quite a bit of evidence that would strongly imply that you are. That is the impression you would want to provide counter arguments to, making ad hominem arguments about the messenger doesnt really help your case.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 06:53, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipediocracy is not a club, Wifione. Anyone who wants to critique Wikipedia/Wikimedia may post there, provided they're not terribly boring and stay roughly on-topic. Even you. My only two comments about you there are in this thread yesterday where, rather than conspiring with other pure evil psychos to unfairly undermine the hard work of a neutral volunteer, all I do is express my sincere astonishment at your continued residency here and continued possession of advanced privileges. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 06:30, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I've undone Wifione's second hatting of this section. Per WP:INVOLVED, I really don't think it's a good look for an admin to make repeated attempts to close a discussion about their own behaviour because it isn't going the way they'd like it to. It doesn't matter who started the discussion, an involved editor has no place closing it. When you bring an issue to WP:ANI, the behaviour of all parties will be examined. I'm sure that's written down somewhere, and I'm sure an admin such as Wifi should know that. Thanks. Begoon talk 15:48, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Suggest topic ban for Wifione from all Chaudhuri related articles, broadly construed. Would solve most of the problems fairly quickly. Only in death does duty end (talk) 16:13, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    It's not enough. We're here to provide free knowledge. He is WP:NOT HERE for that, but to deliberately bias a specific topic in favour of one party, to the extreme detriment of people who buy that party's product. He should simply be permanently banned. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 03:14, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a good idea, and the minimum we should do really, but it doesn't address the amount of sheer deflection this guy has done, whilst an admin, to continue the POV pushing, the disappearance for months while good faith editors waited for a response at his editor review, or the arrogant disregard towards concerns. Hell, even Jimbo said he hoped the guy would just slink off quietly. That didn't happen. We have to deal with it. It should be easy.
    This is an editor with admin priveleges giving Wikipedia an enormously bad name, who has tried every trick to avoid accountability.
    I voted for the guy at RFA. He fooled me. I'm embarassed now because this is so transparent. Begoon talk
    Begoon, I noticed that you too have landed here after being prompted by Wikipediocracy colleagues. And you too have unhatted this discussion. I won't rearchive this discussion, for your benefit. But would suggest that it'll be better if there be less personal attacks whilst you wish to discuss any issue that I might have deflected. I have complete regard for any issues this project's community members have, but no regard for Wikipediocracy canvassing and attempts to out me. The editor review you mention was opened up by me, and not by anyone else. I don't think I've left any question of any of this community's members unanswered. If I've treated Wikipediocracy members who commented on my Editor Review with less regard for their queries, that purely is because of the legacy they come with. I do hope you're able to see the issue for what it is. I'll keep a watch on this discussion for any comments that may be required of me from this community's members. Thanks.

    • Drop the WP:BADSITES related bollocks. Everyone who has called for you to go here at ANI is a long-term Wikipedia user in good standing. Hell, Begoon voted for you at your RfA. Newyorkbrad and Worm That Turned are retiring arbitrators who are active on WO - if they came here and banned you, would you whine about them? WO editors are not "sheep", there is no house POV, no one was canvassed. The issue is very straightforward; you're a corrupt shill who is trying to censor all criticism of yourself. If you had one shred of integrity, you'd have quit for good after your editor review. There are no personal attacks here at all, merely statements of fact. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:22, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Nothing will happen here as the issue is too complex. Someone needs to start a user subpage for collecting evidence of on-wiki edits that show a problem, and perhaps post here to invite contributions. I have no idea whether there is any basis to all the claims. One reason to be skeptical is that many misguided editors trying to puff up organizations, particularly those in India, and it is quite possible that people who do not like Indian Institute of Planning and Management have posted junk there over the years, junk that Wifione has removed. The WP:LTA/IAC case shows that hysteria does not mean the accused is guilty. Accordingly, some solid work needs to occur to compile evidence. Per WP:POLEMIC, an evidence page would have to be actively worked on with an aim to presenting a case, probably at Arbcom. Many of us would be glad to assist, but those who believe there is a problem need to document what is known beyond vague claims. Johnuniq (talk) 22:47, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • That already exists - Wikipedia:Editor review/Wifione. Also, do you seriously think that Wifione would let such a userpage exist? No, it would be deleted and obfuscated wherever they could do it. Why should we have to document things again, just because some people can't be bothered to look at existing pages like this one? Half the evidence is inaccessible to non-admins anyway, because Wifione has already hidden it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 00:04, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. The only reason there could be to believe that Wikipedia:Editor review/Wifione doesn't contain all the necessary evidence would be that the reader has been successfully blinded and exhausted by wifione's walls of deflection. Just try reading it without those comments. Nevertheless, if necessary, I'll spend a few minutes a day over a short period distilling it to something less daunting. Can't start that for a few days though, so if someone else gets to it first, excellent. I reiterate, though, that it is all already on that page, and it's a shame if obvious TLDR obfuscation tactics succeed in obscuring that. Begoon talk 01:51, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    It is not complex, Johnuniq. Take a good look at Wikipedia:Editor review/Wifione. It is obvious what he's up to - obvious enough to warrant a permanent ban, if we're serious about what we're doing here. To drag this through a further evidence-gathering stage and then to arbcom would, in my opinion, just (1) delay the inevitable and (2) needlessly waste the time and energy of good-faith editors just to extend the semblance of due process to someone who holds us and our shared enterprise in contempt, with no material benefit. (That said, in case it comes down to that, I'll start on an executive summary with diffs in my user space and move it here in a day or so if this isn't resolved by then.) --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 03:14, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • Lukeno94, with you as the latest addition sent from the Wikipediocracy thread who has been prompted to come here to post your message, let me re-clarify the issue about your group. The BADSITES issue is about the editors commenting on the two Wikipediocracy threads who've been collaboratively directing personal attacks and attempting to out me, which includes you, Begoon, Vejvančický, Anthonycole and others. Your group members' remarks and presuppositions on those threads and here are plain and simple personal attacks and outing attempts. Claiming that NewYorkBrad or Worm are Wikipediocracy members (and therefore perhaps that gives you the justification required to post such comments) is missing the point completely. NewYorkBrad and Worm (and even other Wikipediocracy members who are primarily Wikipedia members) are not the least like some of your group members whom I've mentioned here. NYB, Worm and some others have the ultimate trust of the community, (including mine) unlike your group, which may not measure up on that factor easily. Your statement that I've tried to censor all criticism, is unfounded and lacks any basis. With respect to your other statements (corrupt shill, lacks integrity), these are again just direct personal attacks. And your statement, that there are no personal attacks here, is paradoxical. Wifione Message 04:03, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Begoon Luke, your statement "Half the evidence is inaccessible to non-admins anyway, because Wifione has already hidden it" is again completely unfounded, and I suspect, an off the hat comment taken from your Wikipediocracy thread. With respect to my Editor Review, thanks for pointing out that I've not yet deleted it. Given Vejvančický's attacks and outing attempts on my Editor Review, you are right, it's a wonder I've kept the page so long. Although I may have deleted the review whenever I wanted, I had kept it this long simply for ensuring trusted community members have access to the same. Perhaps that didn't quite work with you. Why don't you or Andrew Anthony make a copy before I delete it? For your benefit, I'll keep it as-is for a couple of days more. As mentioned, I'm watching this page for any clarifications trusted community members might require of me. Thanks. Wifione Message 04:03, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Er, I didn't post any of the remarks you attribute to me there, although I must say I do largely agree with them. Do not imply again that I am not a "trusted community member" because I hold an opinion which I have also discussed elsewhere, or that my position is anything but my own. Also be very careful who you attribute remarks to. Who is Andrew? Begoon talk 05:17, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wifione, if you're going to try and slander people... at least bother to make sure you're attacking the right person, will you? I said "Half the evidence is inaccessible to non-admins anyway, because Wifione has already hidden it", not Begoon. I do hope other people are noting the veiled threats of obfuscating the editor review here. Also, I'd like to see how I'm not a "trusted community member" - I've been here for nearly four years, have around 19k edits, and have never once been blocked (and the only sanction I've ever had was an IBAN with someone who turned out to be a sock anyway). I would indeed lodge the statement that we probably have about ten times more trust than you do. I think it's fairly obvious that I'm not a sheep, and very few people on WO are. There IS no attempted outing, because very few of us give a flying fuck about who you are - all we care about is that you are dragging Wikipedia down with your corrupt shilling. Oh, and thanks Jehochman for doing the decent thing and filing a request for arbitration. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:29, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • Yes, you are right. My statement was just a push off to Begoon and Luke, nothing more. I had created the Review for specific reasons, and that is to ensure that the editors out here do get a complete synopsis of my review. I intend maintaining that. Wifione Message 15:18, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Topic ban for Cwobeel for BLP violations

    The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

    Cwobeel is an editor with a self-recognized bias who has been aggressively pushing for the insertion of accusations, insults and spinning very negative information to attack a living person, Robert P. McCulloch on his biography and Shooting of Michael Brown. The most recent and unsourced editorializing of this editor resulted in the addition of this to the lead of the article in this edit.

    He is of racist persuation and wanted to have the police officer not prosecuted at all, so he deliberately presented a false witness to the Grand Jury (witness #40) whom he knew in advance was not there and was lying. This carries a mandatory disbarment as per the Missouri bar. McCullough is proud of his lies and openly incriminated himself by admitting this.

    The user has repeatedly inserted walls of negative material and reinserted blatantly false criminal accusations about a living person on their biography, twice. He also has no objections to re-inserting false material because it is "sourced". Some issues range from inserting Tabloid-style BLP violations to sensationalist and false (in this case contradictory) claims. There are dozens of bad insertions to go through, some which take significant explaining. [194][195][196][197][198][199][200][201][202]

    Another serious example is the reinsertion of criminal allegations removed under BLP concerns - specifically the "Kinkogate" reinsertion (first part of the diff linked) and a second reinsertion are indicative of the problem. The "Kinkogate" issue is blatantly false because "grand jury had no role in any investigation" making it impossible for McCulloch to have abused the grand jury and commit the alleged crime.

    I ask that this editor be topic banned from articles related to the Shooting of Michael Brown because this user argues to defend the inclusion of such unsupported and heinous accusations. Clearly, explaining this does not work and RFCs over basic issues is a waste of time. At this point, the disruption and BLP violations are numerous and unceasing with the user actively engaged in getting as much negativity as possible into the article. Even the user's inserted sources show and emphasize this highly partisan and defamatory angle. After weeks of explanation I decided to come to ANI given the serious nature of the edits. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:37, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The edit highlighted above was a mistake. It was not my edit, but was re-added on a revert and later deleted. As for the other allegations, ChrisGualtieri has received considerable feedback about his attempts to remove material that is sourced to legal analysts in reliable sources, from me and from others as it was the case here [203]] and more recently here: [204]. The material that this editor is pushing for removal asserting that they are BLP violations, include [205]:
    • The legal analysts of CNN and The New Yorker
    • the director of Harvard Law School's Criminal Justice Institute
    • a law professor at Fordham University
    • the president-elect of the National District Attorneys Association
    • a University of Missouri law professor
    • the chief legal affairs anchor for ABC News
    • the director of graduate programs in criminology at Merrimack College and a 27-year veteran and former lieutenant of the Boston Police Department
    • a former policeman and lecturer at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice
    • an experienced defense attorney
    • a professor at the St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami
    Sources include The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, SCOTUSblog, The New York Times, USA Today. The New Yorker and others.
    The Kinkogate issue is sourced to the St. Louis Post Dispatch and The New York Times, but ChrisGualtieri thinks they got it wrong, so he believes that his opinion is enough for suppressing that source on the basis of a BLP violation. I am very active as a BLP/N patroller and very aware of our content policies in BLP.
    ChrisGualtieri has accused me of defamation and BLP violations, when all I have done is to provide commentary from legal experts that have been published in reliable sources.
    There are two RFCs now ongoing at Talk:Shooting of Michael Brown on these very issues that have yet to be closed, but ChrisGualtieri is ignoring WP:DR and choosing to act unilateral and without waiting to for the DR process to unfold.
    I have been a very active editor in this article, and received accolades from other editors from my work there, and I am very proud of my work on the article. Despite very long discussions with this editor, he has taken the position that legal analysts "got it wrong" and that he can make that determination on his own, and that attempts to report their significant viewpoints are BLP violations and defamation. - Cwobeel (talk) 00:58, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Maybe I'm wrong, but don't the following diffs indicate active canvassing by Cwobeel? [206], [207], [208]. From viewing past and current talk page interactions between Cwobeel and ChrisGualtieri at the articles the latter mentions above, the three editors Cwobeel contacted about this AN/I report have been consistently in agreement with Cwobeel and consistently in disagreement with ChrisGualtieri. Just saying. -- WV 01:11, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Not canvassing, just informing other active editors in the article that have been involved in the discussions with ChrisGualtieri and myself as well as in the RFCs on this subject, including Mandruss, Gaijin42, RAN1, Jbarta ‎, Dyrnych, and Titanium Dragon - Cwobeel (talk) 01:13, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • More diffs to possible canvassing activity: Three more editors to add to what seems to be canvassing on the part of Cwobeel: [209], [210], [211]. -- WV 01:36, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I have already ping them here, as they are all involved in this dispute. That is no canvassing, but good manners. - Cwobeel(talk)
    Actually this is undeniably canvassing, the question is whether it's appropriate or not. For reference, Bob K31416, Joseph A. Spadaro, Isaidnoway and Darouet should have been notified as well since they've been involved the past 3 days. --RAN1 (talk) 01:43, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    This is a content dispute and seems to be backed up with sources--High quality ones as well. It's not a BLP violation to assert stuff according to reliable sources. What I see here however is the possibility of a boomerang for attempting to witchhunt a user for diffs taken out of context, and asserting BLP violations where there are not. OP, I would opt for a close before other people decide this as well. Tutelary (talk) 01:49, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Tutelary these sources are not reliable for the statements they make and many have consensus to not be used in the fashion that Cwobeel inserted them for. The RFC on Tom Nolan showed that the attack piece was unacceptable and represented a BLP issue. It is not okay to slap quotes on an attack piece and include it "because it is sourced". Cwobeel is now claiming he did not make that edit. Editors are responsible for their edits and the reinsertion of proven false information, defamatory statements and such that were removed per WP:BLP is the issue. Editors are to judge sources and determine if they are reliable and appropriate, but allegations of racism, and criminal acts are not to be taken and pushed into a biography in such a fashion. There is absolutely no reason for a wall of quotes to surpass all the entire article's length and be entirely negative. It creates an attack page that no less than 6 different editors have made comments on in regards to it being a BLP and NPOV matter. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:01, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Just negate my statement. I can't deal with this stuff. Tutelary (talk) 02:32, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @ChrisGualtieri: You seem to be attributing that RFC to Cwobeel, and are claiming that it was useless. Cwobeel and I argued for Nolan's inclusion, you disagreed. That was followed by a couple of reverts between you and Cwobeel, and I decided to revert Cwobeel and start the RFC, averting an actual edit war. I started the RFC on Tom Nolan because my discussion with you was going nowhere, and we needed to find consensus. You're not providing an accurate picture of what happened, and are using a poorly-retold fringe instance to justify your argument. --RAN1 (talk) 03:06, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Reinserting material removed by good-faith BLP claims during a discussion prior to the RFC is a novel way to accuse of framing it. As stated before - many of the inclusions required substantial discussion. Was it not me who added and wanted the full version of Toobin's argument? See. Opinions are opinions and should remain unless they advance misstatements of fact as fact, then they should be removed for misstatements of fact. To say that there was a problem with the sources and not their use is nothing more than a red herring. A person well-versed in BLP and NPOV would not have created or reinserted such unbalanced negativity or thrown WP:BALASPS out the window. Now I will defer to the community since I think there is no need for further muddling by myself. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:36, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Let the RFCs work the way, be patient, and look for ways to compromise with me and others. That is the process we ought to be following, rather than use AN/I for masking a content dispute with spurious accusations of defamation. - Cwobeel (talk) 03:52, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    ChrisGaultieri by his own admission in a previous dispute just hours ago: [212] I stand corrected and I apologize for being an ass. This after a long discussion in which he threatened me with You can be indefinitely blocked or topic banned for continuing to insert or defend hoaxes. Do not continue to deliberately mislead readers or editors because this type of material has no place on Wikipedia. ... only to finally accept that he was completely wrong on his assessment of the sources and wrong on his characterization of my contributions. So, here you have it, ChrisGaultieri is exhibiting WP:BATTLEGROUND including this report. I accepted his apology, and then he files this report following on his previous threat? - Cwobeel (talk) 04:04, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    And if you recall the section contained an error in which the source said the Ferguson incident report was released August 21 and source in discussion was saying the Ferguson incident report did not exist. The first source (I used Time) was in error so I was wrong, but the Ferguson report exists, I just screwed up and was an ass because I asserted the wrong damn thing. The problem remains, but I made a fuck-up by pointing to the wrong source and scolding you for it. As mentioned, it is still false and yes that source is still wrong. Here is the Ferguson Police's Incident Report ACLU received it on Thursday August 21, but it was announced August 22. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:50, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Someone close this - I retract it. I am being an ass... and overreacted to what Cwobeel inserted as a BLP violation after just warning him repeatedly for it. It was actually a re-insertion and a familiar one, but not originally by Cwobeel. I still do not know why or how that information got back into the article in Cwobeel's edit, but I cannot claim moral high ground when I am being an ass about it. Just like I cannot claim moral high ground when I come all blustery about WP:HOAX and fuck up by linking the wrong source instead of the correct one already in the article. I was right about the material, but wrong in the presentation and attitude. And that does not make me feel good. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:04, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The user then tracked all my recent contributions reverting them wholesale (including removing several sources requested by another user that I had spent most of the morning tracking down[214]).

    User:Parkwells and User:maunus

    User:Parkwells has been adding information without citations to multiple articles along with changing links to disambiguation pages, which if you look at his/her talk page he/she keeps getting warnings from a bot over the multiple disambiguation links he/she (good lord can I just call the user it?) has added to multiple pages over and over and over again. The changes to articles include- information the user believes should be common knowledge (Europeans having huge intermarriage children with Native Americans who went on to run Native communities is a common view it has added to multiple pages), which isn't backed by any sources about the specific communities it is adding this information to claiming it is specific to those communities which I cant find that it is. Other problems is poor wording and grammar, including capitalization of Town in every instance, when we don't generally do so, even in "town of ______", let alone like it is doing where in a sentence of "in 1980 the Town decided to build a park" which IMHO capitalizing town is more than an honest mistake it is unencyclopedic and something not to be encouraged. There are MULTIPLE articles, the one I'm having the most problem cleaning up is Schenectady, New York, where User:Maunus is blocking my ability to remove wholesale the huge one edit Parkwells did, and I would like to go back and put in piecemeal individual good ideas Parkwells has. However Manaus believes he should edit war to keep Parkwells info in and I should cite individually every little thing and take my time disputing on the talk page every problem. If one adds a massive edit of unsourced material, per our policy I don't have to do jack but remove it, I don't have to cite it. I'm frustrated and would ask for admin opinions on the procedure when one sees an editor add the same POV unsourced material to multiple articles and claim it is specific for all the geographic area because it is common knowledge (per their response on their talk page).Camelbinky (talk) 20:42, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Please show which policy it is that shows that someone challenging material is encouraged to remove it without subsequently engaging in consensus building on the talkpage and minimally explaining the reason they are challenging the material and pointing out which claims they would like to see sources for. User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 21:02, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The top of WP:V: Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed.NE Ent 23:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    It says "may", not "must". And the section on "responsibility for providing citations" says "In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references; consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step.[3] When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that there may not be a published reliable source for the content, and therefore it may not be verifiable" So clearly it is not best practice or even condoned by policy to remove swathes of edits and then refuse to explain what one considers to be problematic about them.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 01:38, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    No, "may" means "may" and WP:BURDEN means burden. So it's not "clearly" best practice. If it's unsourced and there's any doubt in an editor's mind, that's all that's required for them to remove it. NE Ent 03:30, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    It doesnt appear we are in the same conversation here.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 03:33, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    unless I'm missing something, Maunus added sources for the disputed material in the Schenectady, New York article - at which point Camelbinky removed it all again. [222] The claim that this dispute concerns 'unsourced material' thus seems to be on shaky grounds. AS for 'POV', there is nothing on Talk:Schenectady, New York that I can see which amounts to an explanation as to what specific 'POV' is being objected to. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:50, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    (e-c)Sorry, the POV apparently is a write history in a manner that portrays Native Americans better and Europeans as aggressive takers of the land. While I applaud historians who write TRUTH in history to show the barbarianism of white conquerors this is not a job for Wikipedians who wish the world know that whitey is wrong. I myself don't give a shit about how white people are portrayed, I'm Jewish/Middle Eastern and I know very well the barbarianism of Western Europe to minorities. Wikipedia is about sourced material. Plain and simple this is about several massive edits to multiple articles that created problems others have to clean up (look at the user's talk page the multiple bot notifications of references templates being broken and links becoming disambiguation links). This adds up to simply "unqualified" when it comes to massive edits at once. Simply I'd like a warning for the editor to start doing piece meal edits that can be looked at individually and assessed (and possibly reverted) individually if there is a problem. Look at the person's full talk page please and you might get an inkling of what set me off.Camelbinky (talk) 20:57, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Your pov is also a Pov. The question is which pov is supported by sources. Nowhere did you state that your objections was to the portrayal of how the colonization was handled by the Dutch. That is a matter of looking at the sources. I looked at the sources yesterday, and found nothing there that contradicted Parkwells edits. Have you looked at the sources? Have you read Burke's Mohawk frontier? Nothing suggests you even know the sources here so what basis you are arguing on is a mystery to me. Could it be that you simply believe that your own POV is supported by the sources without actually having looked at them. That seems to me to be the case.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 21:05, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    What POV? I don't give a shit about whitey (including Dutch colonists) are portrayed. I want an editor who adds material, especially in a big single edit to back up THEIR OWN EDIT with sources. Not to leave it to others to put in sources, clean up their changes to perfectly good links that become disambiguations because of that editor's quirks, and their sloppy edits create broken references. Look at the long list of bot notifications on their talk page. This isn't some thing new that the editor just didn't know they were doing. They have a habit of shoot first, some one else will patch up the victim. Yes, I threw out the baby with the bathwater but my intention was to always go back and introduce piecemeal the info that was good without affecting the information already there.Camelbinky (talk) 21:09, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • User:Camelbinky has a very odd perspective on the issue. Parkwells added information about certain topics related to minority history in two localities in New York, without providing sources, and introduced some orthographic oddities. Calembinky reverted it wholesale, calling it dubious and POV (due to the minority focus probably) and made various borderline personal attacks on Parkwells. I reinstated the edit as I could see no obvious problems with the content, nothing counter factual, no extreme POV statements etc. Camelbinky flew off the handle and continued to be confrontational while simultaneously refusing to specify which of the unsourced statements they were challenging, making it difficult to fix. We editwarred a bit back and forth - admittedly I did this just as he did, he citing his version of BRD (which apparently doesnt include the D) and I arguing that his complaints were unactionable as long as he refused to justify his reversion with anything more than invective and personal attacks. I then spent my morning yesterday finding the sources for Parkwells original content which I introduced, adding citations, copyedits and some minor corrections. Then in the afternoon another used made a POINT reversal of all my edits to the article after I had reverted them on an unrelated article. blackkite reverted back to my sourced version this morning. Which Calebinky then reverted - clearly without having looked at it since they still described it as "Unsourced". All the way Camelbinky has been abrasive and very un-collegial and uncollaborative, and even though I have now clearly told him three times that I have added sources and citations to Parkwells additions they continue to claim that I am defending the inclusion of unsourced material.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 20:55, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Maunus I do apologize for flying off the handle. I also applaud you for finding sources. And I believe it is great for a collegial environment for people to work together... But.. If I hadn't reverted and you stepped in, would you not agree that the additions and "orthographic oddities" you described still be there? Would the articles not be for the worse WITH the additions than they were before the additions? Is an editor who means well but does massive additions that bots have continually been informing the editor about, not deserve to be told- hey, maybe you need to step back and do smaller edits, find sources first, and look at your work and fix your own problems? Why should you have to come forward and protect this user and fix THEIR mistakes? Yes, I should have done some thing different to help the user than be an ass. I apologize to User:Parkwells sincerely. But I hope some one can back me and say "this user needs some help in editing". Meaning well isn't always an excuse.Camelbinky (talk) 21:03, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I do accept that apology, and offer my own if I have similarly come across as abrasive or uncollegial. And yes, probably the capitalization of Town and broken redirects would still be in the article if you hadnt removed it. But it would have eventually been fixed. And the article would have had additional information that it didnt have before teaching our reader more about the history of Schenectady. The reason we all have to fix the mistakes of others here is first that we are undertaking a collaborative endeavor here and secondly that we all make mistakes that needs to be fixed by others every now and then.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 21:09, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I accept your apology as well. I actually don't think those errors would have been fixed (by someone other than me) any time soon. Coxsackie, New York is one example I randomly pulled up with the same Town capitalization anomaly, and that probably wont get fixed... ever? And that's just a random rural upstate town I picked (first try), I'm sure I could find more. That's one example. The reference and disambiguation link problem is some thing I do believe is serious and some thing that needs to be addressed with this editor however. A bot notifying the editor constantly and yet ignored shows a lack of willingness to work with Wikipedia policy, and may be a symptom of simply wanting to get their POV out there and only wanting to do that. All editors deserve some coaching and help on getting to be better editors, including you and I who have both been here quite a long time and worked together in different discussions and yet still have disagreement (unfortunately and I take responsibility for that). I'd rather see this editor talked to and informed of their responsibility to not create more work for others than to set the example that the editor can continue in this manner and it is ok because some one will defend them and fix their mess for them, they will get the idea that their message of truth is more important to get out than the technical aspects of Wikipedia markup.Camelbinky (talk) 21:18, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Parkwells is a competent and longstanding editor with considerable expertise in American minority history as I tried to tell you at one point. But they are a content writer, not a stickler for formatting or MOS issues. I am like that myself and I would probably neither have noticed or fixed the capitalization issues (which Parkwells introduced with what is actually a reasonable argument that I just dont think works in practice (namely using the capitalization to point out the difference between the colloquial use of "town" and its use in official classification)). I also make lots of work for wikignomes and bot when I work, fixing bare refs and redirects and typoes en masse. Some editors never add content or sources, only make thousands of edits correcting other editors formatting mistakes. For me this is part of the division of labor here, not something that is grounds for dismissing other editors work. User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 21:24, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    [unindent] The question is not "which pov is supported by sources". Our core policy is "Neutral point of view", not "Majority point of view". Camelbinky, you need to provide evidence for your assertions. You've provided only two pages, one of which (Schenectady) doesn't appear to have bits portraying Europeans as aggressive takers of the land, and the other of which (Coxsackie) hasn't been edited by Parkwells, as far as I can see. Please note that WP:WIAPA says that "Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence" is considered a form of personal attack. Nyttend (talk) 21:43, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    You are mistaken Nyttend. There is no such thing as "neutral point of view", there is no "view from nowhere". And that is why we rely on sources to determine what is the closest thing to neutral in a given context. Our NPOV policy describes how to achieve balance of multiple POVs in porder to approach neutrality, not that there is a neutral POV that should be taken to the exclusion of "non-neutral" POVs. Your reading of the policy is simplistic and unpracticable.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 22:01, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Attempts to enforce a specific point of view must not be tolerated. Let me quote from the earliest available version of WP:NPOV. The neutral point of view attempts to present ideas and facts in such a fashion that both supporters and opponents can agree. Of course, 100% agreement is not possible; there are ideologues in the world who will not concede to any presentation other than a forceful statement of their own point of view. We can only seek a type of writing that is agreeable to essentially rational people who may differ on particular points. Present both (or all, if applicable) perspectives; if you write for the majority, you are still producing something that is not neutral. Nyttend (talk) 22:10, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    If by "enforce" you mean introduce to the exclusion of other pov's then we are in essential agreement, but that would be irrelevant for this case since that is clearly not what the edits in question are doing. What Parks does, and what they do very well, is to include recent historical accounts written by historians that focus on the experiences of minority groups who have traditionally not been part of mainstream US history (prior to the 1990s more or less). That kind of POV history is what mainstream professional historians have done for a couple of decades now - trying to correct for a long tradition of "majority POV" historiography. Parkwells does not advance any fringe views, or rewrite history to give exclusively minoritarian accounts about "evil whitey" as Camelbinky suggested. They merely insert their existence in to historical articles (in this case their edits added the Mohawk, the Dutch and the African-Americans to an article on Schenectady history which did not adequately represent these aspects). And their edits were easily sourced to recent works on the topic. Now your idea that we need to represent "both or all" POVs is a clear misreading of the policy because it fails to take into account the question of Weight. Fringe POVs cannot and should not have equal weight to mainstream viewpoints, and sometimes they should have none at all. But in this case it is irrelevant because the POV inserted by PArkwells was a clear mainstream POV within contemporary historiography, a POV that simply asserts that "minorities existed in the past and they should have a place in history as well".User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 22:29, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Isn't the very simple solution here for Camelbinky to tag the edits he finds problematic CN and correct the orthographic errors while letting Maunus provide the citations as Camelbinky has said he is doing? If the tags are not addressed the edits can be removed after a grace period. (Note there seem to be no diffs here, just the bald assertion that Parkwells is incompetent in general, and hence all his edits deserve reverting. That's not fair play at all.) When I read things like "don't give a shit about whitey" I begin to suspect there's something else beside the supposed issue at hand really going on. μηδείς (talk) 22:51, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes that would have been the simple solution. But even without CN tags I already managed to find sources for the information added by Parkwells, and we Camelbinky and I both apologized and accepted the other's apology, making the entire discussion basically moot at this point.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 22:53, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
