==Stalking==
Okay, I was trying to assume good faith, but now it's quite obvious. You just reverted an edit I made to [[Moses Montefiore Windmill]] claiming there was no source for the name Jaffa Gate Mill, even though there was. This being after you showed up to [[Tawfiq Canaan]], [[Present absentee]] and [[List of native plants of Palestine (A-D)]] (all quite obscure articles), it's clear to me that you are following me. I'm asking you to stop. Right now. If I see you editing directly after me at another page again, I will report you to [[WP:AE]] for stalking. K? [[User:Tiamut|<b><fontspan colorstyle="color:#B93B8F;">T</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#800000;">i</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#B93B8F;">a</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#800000;">m</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#B93B8F;">u</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#800000;">t</fontspan></b>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Tiamut|talk]]</sup> 17:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

:Of course I can back up the accusation, otherwise it would not be made. See [[User:Tiamut/No More]] for an outline of how I came to this conclusion. I think it would be best for you to admit that you have been following me around, and commit to not doing it anymore.

I encourage both you and Tiamut to take your "case" to the proper venue. But I think we all know you won't because you don't have one.<br>
Thanks for the tip about editing an article you never edited before. Have a look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fourth_Geneva_Convention&diff=311340131&oldid=311330603 this] and then go read [[WP:HOUND]].<br>
Are we done here? [[User:No More Mr Nice Guy|No More Mr Nice Guy]] ([[User talk:No More Mr Nice Guy#top|talk]]) 19:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:Nope, because there is a pretty big difference. The 4th Geneva Convention article is a major topic that many, many people who edit in the topic are have watchlisted so it would be very difficult for you to say anybody followed you there. But ''Paradise Now'' is an article on a movie that people rarely edit. And you also went there to reinstate the edit of a banned user. I have many human rights articles on my watchlist even if I have not edited them. But I highly doubt you had ''Paradise Now'' on yours, I doubt you even saw the movie or read a single source about it, I doubt you have even read the article. You went there for the sole purpose of reverting my edit and reinstating the edit of a banned user. There is the difference. And like I said, 1 more time and I will go to the next step in solving the issue. The idea here is to get you to stop such behavior before it becomes necessary for an admin to stop you from continuing with such actions. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User:Nableezy|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#C11B17;">nableezy</fontspan>]]''' - 19:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)</font></small>
You're really reaching now. You'd tell AE that you highly doubt I've seen the movie? That's your case?<br>
We're done. Your little threat has been duly noted. Ma salameh. [[User:No More Mr Nice Guy|No More Mr Nice Guy]] ([[User talk:No More Mr Nice Guy#top|talk]]) 19:37, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:No, I would tell AE that you edited an article for the first time to reinstate the edit of a banned user immediately after me and did so twice. I would then show them your history of following Tiamut around. But that isnt the point, I am just asking you not to follow me around. Ending up on obscure articles just to revert me give that impression. Please just stop doing so. Aint that complicated. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User:Nableezy|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#C11B17;">nableezy</fontspan>]]''' - 19:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)</font></small>
Either one of you can feel free to tell me to shove off, but how about this: what if, without anyone admitting any wrongdoing, you both agree in principle to avoid, whenever possible, the other? Is that fair/useful? I speak as one who has been often followed... oh, and I have seen ''Paradise Now'', and can't really see the big deal in terms of your disagreement.

:*If the mediation fails, it's chalked up to yet another form of dispute resolution that was tried but failed. Once again, someone could try to go through another form of dispute resolution. Even though MedCom is the court of last resort (which is not to say mediation results are binding), people will generally go back to RfCs, endless discussions... you know... what we have now.
:*Yes, they can. Mediation results are not binding, so anyone can "improve on the compromise" as you say, or bring it back closer toward the pre-mediation formulation. But the idea is that an agreement from a mediation request holds a lot of weight, and the likelihood of there being consensus to put in place anything other than the agreement should be very low. If others who followed the case, especially those who participated in it, start to ask for more than what they already agreed to with no change in situation or addition of new information and positions, there's obviously grounds for considering them disruptive. ArbCom would be a natural next step, if ignoring them is not sufficient.

In [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adora,_Har_Hebron&diff=437579039&oldid=437577768 this] edit, you removed a line on the illegality of the settlement under international law. I assume that this was simply a mistake by you and as such I have come here instead of AE. I am sure you are aware that [[WT:Legality of Israeli settlements]] established a consensus for the inclusion of the line that you removed, and further that [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive74#Shuki|an editor was topic banned]] over the same disregard for that consensus. Kindly restore the material in a timely fashion.

:I reverted your removal of information on a terrorist attack on the settlement. Could you explain why you removed a historical fact that was in the article for months (which according to you means is there by consensus), rather than, say, tagged it with cn or even (I know this is a stretch) spent half a minute at google to see if it actually happened? For the record, I am aware of the line about settlements, have never removed it from any other article and would not have removed it on its own. What I did is revert an illegitimate edit you made.

::All material in articles must be cited to reliable sources. Any material that is not cited to a verifiable reliable source may be removed. My edit was in now way "illegitimate". Your edit did much more than revert the removal of material that was not cited. Your comment that you have never removed the line is simply astonishing, as the edit you made did 2 things; remove that line, and re-add the other line, though you added the source.

::::I dont recognize any such history, and it is not "illegitimate" to remove, lets go with the favorite phrase of one of your friends, "contentious material" that is not cited to any source. That it remained uncited for months, or years, does not change the fact that it required a citation and could be removed absent one. That it is "easily verifiable" does not change the fact that it was not cited to a verifiable source, which is a requirement for material in an "encyclopedia". You could have re-added the material with a source, nobody would have said one word. Instead you chose to also remove material cited a reliable source that you know has consensus for. What is "illegitimate" is the removal of material that is both cited to a reliable source and has an actual explicit consensus for. Next time, if you would like me to take something like this to AE just say no when I ask you to restore material you should not have removed. Ill take you up on the offer then.

::::::Keep reading that policy, up to at least the point where it says ''You may remove any material lacking a reliable source that directly supports it.'' Yes, I may place a cn template prior to doing so, but I am under no obligation to do so. There are requirements for material in articles, citing a reliable source is one of them. But you are side-stepping the issue. You seem to be arguing that my removal of an unsourced sentence justifies your removal of a sourced sentence, a sentence for which you know there is consensus. If you want to make that argument at AE that is up to you. You will no doubt see my upcoming edits, where I will be implementing the consensus regarding the material on the illegality of these colonies into various articles.

It wont look right in the code because rtl end parenthesis will be read as coming after the last word, and in left-to-right after is to the right. Otherwise you can play around with the lrm control character. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User talk:Nableezy|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#C11B17;">nableezy</fontspan>]]''' - 20:28, 6 July 2012 (UTC)</small>
:Interesting. I knew c&p worked some of the time, but I didn't think the source was the issue. When you say a program that does right to left correctly, you mean something like Microsoft Word with a right to left template?

::For you actually typing something, yeah Word or any other program that has a rtl font available, Wordpad might also work. Or, and this is what I usually just do, use the translate box in translate.google.com. Select the language you are typing in as the translate from, then just type out what you want, with the parenthesis how you want, and copy from there. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User talk:Nableezy|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#C11B17;">nableezy</fontspan>]]''' - 00:15, 8 July 2012 (UTC)</small>

I don't think you can close this discussion, either way, and continue being active in enforcing ARBPIA, unless we get a "no consensus" repeat. There isnt going to be a "consensus" based on the numbers. One "side" is going to line up one way, and the other "side" will line up the other way. The only way this gets settled is if there is some group that is able to decide which argument best applies the policies that actually matter (the content ones). For that decision to have legitimacy, it needs to be made by people who are regarded as capable and impartial by those most vested in the issue. But it also needs admins who are actually willing to make a decision, which is why I think NMMNG objections above are ill-advised, but thats his prerogative. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User talk:Nableezy|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#C11B17;">nableezy</fontspan>]]''' - 06:47, 16 July 2012 (UTC)</small>

:::I actually came to this page because I got a notification about my being a candidate for one of the three positions.

Like I said, I don't know that much about photo issues, although I don't think it would make sense that we could use any photo some random person uploaded to flicker with any description they chose. On the other hand, that wouldn't be the first thing I saw here that didn't make sense, so who knows.

Hi. First, a correction of a minor factual error in your closing statement: NMMNG's prohibition on AE discussions was lifted a few months [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:No_More_Mr_Nice_Guy&oldid=780563571#Arbitration_enforcement_appeal ago]. Second, at the time this request was made ARBPIA did have the consensus clause operative, but recently, after an ARCA request, it has been [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification_and_Amendment&oldid=780612363#Requests_for_clarification_and_amendment dropped] because it leads to more trouble than it is worth. Keeping this development in mind, perhaps you might want to re-evaluate the block. In my opinion, it is not necessary and people fighting over silly rules only leads to bad blood; discussion about how to phrase the lead is proceeding (as well as can be expected) on the talkpage.

*I would decline the appeal. The argument that a revert is not a revert if it provides a requested source is mistaken, because no Wikipedia definition of "revert" exempts such reverts. Because Wikipedia does not have a "[[stare decisis]]" rule, any prior opinion by an admin to the contrary is not binding. Also, No More Mr Nice Guy could have made this argument in their defense at AE, but did not do so. The status of the consensus rule is not relevant here because 1RR was violated independently of it. If this appeal is to be considered further, it would need to be made at AE using the {{tl|Arbitration enforcement appeal}} template. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sandstein|<fontspan style="color:white;background:blue;font-family:sans-serif;">'''&nbsp;Sandstein&nbsp;'''</fontspan>]]</span></small> 07:17, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
:: Sandstein is correct that AE blocks are typically only appealed at AE. If NMMNG wants to appeal, I can make the argument there; no point in duplication.

:::{{ping|Sandstein}} I did not make the above argument at AE because that's not what Oncenawhile reported me for, as you can see in the original complaint I responded to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&oldid=779873644 here]. He focused completely on the consensus rule. I now see he modified his complaint after I responded to the charge. Editors are usually given an opportunity to self-revert, which I would have done immediately, if I had realized 1RR was the issue. I'm an experienced editor with a clean record (or at least had one), and I feel I'm being treated harshly and punitively. I can't post at AE so can't appeal there. [[User:No More Mr Nice Guy|No More Mr Nice Guy]] ([[User talk:No More Mr Nice Guy#top|talk]]) 14:56, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
::::At the time of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&oldid=779873644#No_More_Mr_Nice_Guy your first statement], the complaint made it sufficiently clear that 1RR was the issue that you were able to make any self-reverts or arguments regarding it. The complaint was open for several days, enough time for you to make self-reverts or raise the arguments you do here. <p>You cannot edit AE while blocked, but an admin reviewing your unblock request can copy your appeal there if they think the appeal has merit. (But they are less likely to do so if the appeal is not in the format set out in {{tl|Arbitration enforcement appeal}} ). <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sandstein|<fontspan style="color:white;background:blue;font-family:sans-serif;">'''&nbsp;Sandstein&nbsp;'''</fontspan>]]</span></small> 15:19, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::I did not realize the issue was 1RR (for the reason mentioned in my unblock request) and therefore I didn't address it. I think that's fairly clear from my response to the complaint, if taking my word in good faith is not an option. [[User:No More Mr Nice Guy|No More Mr Nice Guy]] ([[User talk:No More Mr Nice Guy#top|talk]]) 15:40, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
::::: {{u|Oncenawhile}} mostly focused on the consensus clause, because that was the main issue. I am, in general, in favour of giving people a chance to self-revert before reporting them to AE. And NMMNG has earlier shown willingness to self-revert when asked. This is very common practice in ARBPIA because 1RR can be so easily broken, even by mistake (I have done it many times). While blocking for 1RR is within admin discretion, I think it's not necessary here to prevent disruption. If NMMNG wants, I can transfer their appeal to the AE page.
