::Since Fadix brought this to wikien-L, I figured I'd have a look. What about the comments on [[Talk:Nakhichevan]] counts as a blockable PA? It's a heated argument, but nothing more. Am I missing something? And his response to you, while overly aggressive, doesn't strike me as blockable either (not for 36 hours). Am I missing something?

Accusations of personal attacks

Before taking the word of a newly registered trouble maker like Deepblue06, keep a closer look at the issue at hand before leaving such a message on my talk page. Fad (ix) 02:27, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well sorry, but when there are mass registration of users primary for the purpouses of contributing in one talk page at the same time and that I start recieving threats by posting personal informations allegedly about me on the talk page of the same article and that there are many socks, those involved in this are indeed called trouble maker. Troublemaker is not a personal attack, it means, 'trouble maker' someone who makes trouble. But given that you took Lutherian the vandal as a normal contributor and took his words for granted I can't say your decision really surprised me. Anyway, your opinion at this point isen't much relevant since I will be bringing the cases of that article at the Arbcom and clean my reputation ones for all. Fad (ix) 02:42, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously you aren't interested to even consider that your action isen't the proper conduct of an experienced administrator. That you have included the template including edit waring when I haven't ever engaged in edit war or never having been blocked for 3RR I hope isen't indicative of your overal handling of administrator privilages. Consider this as my last answer about this issue. Regards. Fad (ix) 02:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You've warned Fadix (talkcontribs) [1] but that did not seem to have. much effect. The user constantly keeps accusing others being sockpupets. Here's the user's recent accusation record on me:
He first accused me being user Torque [2]
and then admitted his/her mistake with no apology but kept accusing me being another user, Neurobio this time [3],
accepted his/her mistake with no apology again but kept accusing me being a sockpupet again [4]
and again [5]
and again [6]
and again [7]
and again [8]...
There's no end to the accusations despite my requests to stop it. This is getting quite nerve-breaking, I don’t know how to deal with this user. I'd appreciate any help. I'm trying my best not to lose my temper. Deepblue06 00:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, InShaneee. I’m getting really tired of User:72.57.230.179. Despite being told numerous times about unacceptability of personal attacks and the need to adhere to civility norms, his almost every contribution here is another attack on me. See an example here [9], the heading speaks for itself. He goes around leaving messages slamming me on every Azerbaijan related talk page, moreover, he does the same on the talk pages of other Wikiprojects and users. He distorts my user name as user:AnMaster, which is also not very civil. Please have a look at his contributions after the block on him was lifted. I personally tried many times to explain to him that he should comment only on content and not on the contributor, but without any success. He’s been also warned by other admins and users, but his conduct is the same as before. What in your opinion should I do to stop this? Regards, Grandmaster 15:26, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not making personal attacks; in fact what you are doing is slanderous. You have also been warned about negative behaviour in the past. Give mpore examples and quantitive examples where i have not been sanctioned. If I made a mistake in spellling your name that does not mean incivility. You are doing everything in yyour power to demonize me and that in itself is wrong and counter-productive. You have personally not done anything but mock me and play sherads so do not make it look like you tried to ingage me in dialogue. It was actually the other wat around. I am the one who made compromises compaired to your delete without consensus or discussion practices which you have a history for. It is your user page that has been vandalized many times do to your contriversal behaviour and upsetting of others not mine. I find it ironic that you make these claims against me. Any admin. can look at the history and they will see that you are painting a distorted picture user:Grandmaster. Additionally don't forget you also threatened me and made false claims about WIkipedia rules. Here is some food for thought [[10]]72.57.230.179
I highly doubt you can find any contribution by 72.57.230.179, which does not mention my name. Grandmaster 19:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking measures. Regards, Grandmaster 07:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

69.234.50.65

This IP has made series of incivil accusations against me, just have a look at: [11]. Multiple IP addresses are editing on that article, have a look at [12] I think they have mistaken edit summaries for chatroom! --K a s h Talk | email 19:59, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, by the way can you delete my userpage please? Thanks a bunch, --K a s h Talk | email 00:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can We Have verificaion for the claims that Azaris are ethnically Turkic too, please

Can the same formula be applied for Turkic claims as was for Iranian ethnicity?! The same formula; peer-reviewed, reliable sources that state that "Azerbaijanis are racially Turkic". Giving the citation, a link, and information to support the assertion. The claims that Azaris are Turkic never were varified and were on the article for ages, while the links to Iranians was verified. 72.57.230.179

Question

If an article copies information directly from another Wiki article then is that a copyright vio? I ask this because the article International Response to the Holocaust seems to do just that. --Strothra 23:22, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]



Lutherian again again again

You gave him a final warning, and then this edit. I gotta go now. —Khoikhoi 06:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Single-handedly punishing Lutherian will not remove the source of the problem. Fadix is at least as much guilty of degrading the civility of the talk page. You've also warned Fadix, but that had no effect. I'd appreciate if you can take a look at the my recent exchanges with this user [13], [14], or I belive looking at any of this user's recent edits at the Armenian genocide talk page will quickly reveal my point. Thanks Deepblue06 13:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Punishing Lutherian will tell him to stop trolling, which is all he's done ever since he's been here. It appalls me that you'd want to back some one like that. Look what he said here. —Khoikhoi 14:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, im not trolling, im defending a view but it seems my arguments fall on deaf ears! Lutherian 18:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So you're arguing that this isn't trolling? —Khoikhoi 18:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I find it very uncivil and annoying that you sneak up on me like that! Sorry, but it has nothing to do with trolling! If you have an issue with me, I would appreciate it if you raised it directly with me! Lutherian 19:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You've shown us all too well that you're not able to participate in a mature discussion without insulting people or accusing people of insulting yourself. I suggest you read WP:TROLL. That's why I try to avoid making contact with you. —Khoikhoi 20:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Given that his sole purpouses is to assassinate my character and push his POV, he would compare me with Adolph Hitler and this would not surprise me much. That he compares me with Lutherian confirm further how groundless his accusations are. But again, like I told him, he will be free when I fill the RfAr to slander me as much as he wants. Fad (ix) 17:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Help me out here, should I feel offended by your remark? Lutherian 18:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And how should I take this malicious plot here [15], for my head on a pole??? Lutherian 19:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

May the Schwartz be with you Muad'Dib!

I Sasquatch, hereby, award thee the power of a Vandal Whacking Ring of Schwartz.

Another user

Look at the edit summary here. Can you warn him for civilty and personal attacks? He's the same guy that said on my talk page that "he's proud to be an anti-Semite". —Khoikhoi 17:30, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Khoikhoi dont make propaganda. I said it in Turkish Wikipedia. Because anti-seminist a propaganda word created by USA for silence the people who is anti-sioninst.Khoikhoi you are a racist faschist, you said you hate altt the Turks, be honest dont use such as childs tactis. Ruzgar 01:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

The other users delete the photo pleas warn other users like me if you are a real counter-vandalist. Ruzgar 01:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who makes personel attacks? This users always insults me, he always said I have said I am proud of being anti-seminist? Where is your justice, please warn other users not only me! Ruzgar 01:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Ruzgar 01:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont replace them with blank pages. I remove them because they are uproved theories. And no one can use wikipedia for propaganda. If you are a counter-vandalist warn other users who vandals PKK article they remove the photo without showing no reason. Ruzgar 01:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have writed in Talk page. But nobody anwers me. They write in the article their theories and you say that is not a "Vandalism", when i remove their unproved theories you call me vandal. Are you a counter-vandalist or an anti-Turk. Ruzgar

My personal page

Thanks for dropping by my talk page. I noticed you had some remarks about it (and removed parts of it). For clarification, here is the reason why I refuse to talk to those two editors. They have proven several times in the past that they/he is/are there to NPOV push their nationalistic views. I spent a lot of precious time to find a compromise with them. It did not work. They kept calling me "idiot" "liar" , impersonating me, vandalizing my personal page, wiki-stalking me, and what not. I am not willing to waste more time doing that. There is much more to do in Wikipedia than try to calm someone's nationalistic feelings, you agree I suppose. As an admin, I hope you can do something about it. Thanks for the remarks anyways. ilir_pz 01:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have followed exactly the steps you described, but it did not work, on the contrary. I am sure it will not work in the future as well. Instead i will keep ignoring their inappropriate comments, and report to you when they go too far. regards,ilir_pz 01:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to talk about this stuff ...

Then I'm perfectly willing to. I refer to the comments you left on my discussion page. "First of all, Scientology has a remarkable amount of people doing a remarkable amount of work trying to keep it NPOV. And sure enough, it does spend a large amount of time running down just about everything that's known about the religion from its own standpoint before discussing it's controversies. As to it's accuracy, Scientology is an extremely secretive religion. Where are we supposed to go for 'good info' about Lord Xenu?" If you want to talk about any or all of that, I'm perfectly willing to. When you left the comments, my impression was that you didn't wish to actually talk, but that you were finding ways of stopping discussion, but if you would actually like to, I'm perfectly willing to talk about any of it. Terryeo 06:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lutherian 7

It seems that blocking him hasn't taught him anything, and I quote:

[16] well well THOTH, showing our true colors are we? Seems to me from your remark that you approve of what they said!

[17] hmmm funny how homogeneous Armenia is! Hardcore ethnic cleansing anyone?

[18] well no matter which way you look at it the debate has been going on for 90 years so your logic that its the world vs TR and that this should be the basis of measure does not really hold!

Khoikhoi 18:54, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I just warned another user for personal attacks, and they said this to me. Can you warn him again? —Khoikhoi 01:20, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello InShaneee,

Could you please explain why the article on creatureness was deleted. This is a definition that does reflect certain sub-culture, and is _not_ a joke. Please respond.

Sincerely,

Kurtitski & Kurtitski

P.S. My apologies for vandalizing this page, but this is just a mean for attracting your attention. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kurtitski (talkcontribs) .

Nizami and arrogance of a new user

Thanks to Mr. Khoikhoi I found your link. A new user by the name of Adil Baguirov has show a pretty much incivil tone in the discussion page. The user does not even speak Persian , which was the language of Nizami and his major is not literature, but economics. The user constantly calls me a Persian Chavaunist, Racist and some other names etc. --Ali doostzadeh 02:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings...

...fellow Wikipedian! I come to you with a request for a favour. You see, my friend User:C-c-c-c was blocked recently for personal attacks, for a week. I've chated to him over MSN, and he feels really bad about it, he has calmed down, and promises he won't do it anymore. I do not request for you to unblock him, just shorten the block to, oh lets say... 3 or 4 days? If you could do that, I would really appreciate it, and believe me, so would he :-) All the best, -- serbiana - talk 05:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ok, i respect your decision. -- serbiana - talk 00:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

excuse me???

but what are you warning me for??? None of the three examples that khoikhoi quotes constitutes personal attacks (especially not the last two!!!). I demand an explanation, this it totally unfair!!! Lutherian 14:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree but do you also warn the others that I am interacting with for the same reasons or are you just attacking me? Lutherian 05:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice day, over

You are a good lad. Wallie 19:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your obviously not a gamer. It will be featured in 2old2play gaming magazine June issue (released in a few days). So how does one prove it's 'notability'.

It's an actual magazine, wouldn't a scan of it violate copyright?

X-men

Wikipedia policy is to limit the number of links in an article, namely repetative links. Please stop over linking names. Bignole 01:14, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's irrelevent. If you want to link it there, then delink the ones in the PLOT section. It's over linking either way you look at it, if you believe it would be better suited in the Cast section, then remove the ones from the other sections as well. Over linking is over linking no matter if it looks better or not. Bignole 01:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can't pick and choose which names to link either. If you are going to link names in the Table link them all. If you are going to link them all, then remove their redundant counterparts from the other sections. It isn't about being nitpicky, it's about conserving server space. Wikipedia doesn't have an unlimited supply. Bignole 01:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you know? Wikipedia:Avoid_using_wikilinks is a joke. -- Drini 01:22, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I'm a pretty consistent viewer with the F.E.A.R. (computer game) and have contributed to it a bit myself. I had to take a small break from Wikipedia however, a short while ago (Computer virus. Darn them. :( Imagine my surprise when I checked the history and saw all those reverts! I truly thank you for you efforts in stopping this vandalism. Delta 01:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

excuse me 2

are you also warning those that I am interacting with? I would appreciate an answer! Lutherian 05:32, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

South Coast League

Why did you delete the South Coast League article? You have no reason, and I will appeal to the operators of Wikipedia. You are abusing your power as an editor. The South Coast League is a future baseball league with a logo and a current website. I even tagged it with a future events tag, and still you take it upon yourself to delete it. Why?

I'm seconding this. I'm not sure why you deleted it, any insight? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 01:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lutherian 25

And more:

[19] If you are going to argue this, at least make an honest attempt!

[20] ...there is nothing here that our resident contributor Fadix has not explored...

[21] hence discussion on this matter is a clear waste of time, thanks for confirming this THOTH

Khoikhoi 18:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wow, here he is again, exposing one side of the argument. Why dont you be a bit more neutral instead of deliberately attacking me, khoikhoi? Why dont you expose the full conversation and lets see who is provoking who! I have been called all kinds of things such as troll, sockpuppet etc by this khoikhoi, its like he festers a deep hatred against me and is on a mission to get rid of me! Lutherian 19:00, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also can you please warn this user. It's starting to get out of hand. —Khoikhoi 18:20, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A while back you deleted this page and... well, the version you deleted was "nonsense" but there was real information in versions before the vandalism. Just wanted to let you know... I'm restoring the old stuff and trying to integrate all of the old content into the newly created article. gren グレン 02:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Civility

Regarding this edit: Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. --InShaneee 00:19, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Inshaneee, I posted the following on User talk:Lutherian: [22] in response to you posting [23].
....and then you leave me a note on my talk page saying not to make personal attacks?? Was asking if you were joking a personal attack?? I don't know all the templates on Wikipedia but I assume you used on here. Can you please let me know how you feel I personally attacked you? I actually don't agree with User:Lutherian on his stance regarding the Armenian Genocide but I found your statement that "Wikipedia is not a place to voice your personal opinions and points of view, especially when they are attacking the points of view of others" to be contradictory. Anyways, sorry if you felt I was attacking you, I defineately did NOT mean to, rather just to question your comment. Thanks and carry on! --Tom 02:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. What I said is true; wikipedia is not the place to express your personal opinions. If you read WP:V, Wikipedia only accepts verified facts. This includes on talk pages; these are not for discussion of topics in articles, but rather for discussion of article content, formattion, and other writing concerns. --InShaneee 18:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi InShaneee, please re-read WP:V. It states "Jointly, these policies determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in the main namespace." Talk pages, see Help:Talk page, are the PERFECT place to for personal opinions like, "I think it would be better if we used this source rather than that source" and the like. I TOTALLY agree that civility and WP:PA are essential, but to say that Wikipedia should be totally devoid of opinions is, err, well, you decide....Thanks! --Tom 20:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think we're saying the same thing, just misunderstanding each other. I wouldn't consider a "this source is better than this source" debate to be expressing an opinion, since you'd want to back up your stance with evidence, and ideally it becomes a fact that your source is better. All I meant was that you can't express opinions such as "I think Bush should be impeached" or "I don't think you're a good editor" or even "I don't think I'm voting democrat this year". See what I mean? --InShaneee 20:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi InShaneee, sorry for the delayed response. No, in my OPINION, we are NOT saying the say thing. My OPINION is that we are saying TWO different things. If you would like a nice side project about Wiki civility, would you mind puting User talk:The Mad Bomber on your watch list?? Thanks and have a pleasant day :) --Tom 13:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have zero interest in any 'civility side project'. If you have any concerns about this users' actions, please take them up through the official channels. --InShaneee 22:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okie doukie. --Tom 23:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

I was recently blocked because I had the misfortune of sharing the same IP address as User:C-c-c-c. I looked into his history and while a block is certainly understandable, I hope it's possible to spare me from the effects of any future blocks as I do not believe I have done anything to warrant being blocked. Thank you.--T smitts 20:24, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

mass vandalism and sockpuppetry

Hi InShanneee, you asked me some time ago to report to you suspicious activity. Well here is the following. See contributions of this user in the article Kosovo Liberation Army, they are almost crossing the 3RR rule, and "suddenly" when I report him in the 3RR page, someone else Krytan does that what he wanted, and to confuse an admin further Estavisti also edited a bit. I realized that I wrongly reported him for the 3RR, which gave him a reason to edit with the other accounts, which I was very suspicious for a long time being his sockpuppets. Seeing the speed of edits, and the very short time between the edits. Just check when suspected sockpuppets User:Krytan and User:Estavisti "started" editing. Exactly when he was crossing the 3RR boundary. Please take some action, this user has been disruptive in almost all his Wikipedia "career", has been blocked 4 times previously, but is not becoming more understanding. On the contrary. I thank you in advance. ilir_pz 00:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, a simple IP locator can show that I'm in Vancouver, Krytan in Toronto and Estavisti in London. Now, they have noticed my edits and have decided to help stop Ilir's vandalism. Still, I ask you to investigate what happened, just to make Ilir happy and make him stop rambling about sockpuppets. -- serbiana - talk 00:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And yes, he keeps wiki-stalking me, as you can see, and this behavior of his is due to several warnings he sent to me. ilir_pz 00:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, i'm not wikistalking him, I saw his edit on this page because I contacted InShanee about C-c-c-c earlier, put this page on my watchlist, and forgot to remove it. Good thing I didn't. The warning I sent to him is quite civilized and I hoped to reach an agreement on Kosovo-related articles, but he refused, attacking me personally as a reason not to cooperate. I'm expecting him to use my history on Wikipedia (which has not been perfect) as his main evidence for a cause which is 100% false, which can be, as I've said, proven with a simple IP locator. Thank you. -- serbiana - talk 00:17, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Constistent rv-warring

User:Nedko has broken 3RR in [24]. I've reported him in the noticeboard but no-one seems to be watching it. In the meantime this user is having his way with the article and wastes the time and energy of the people who try to reason him. Besides 3RR, I suspect that his abuse of the POV-tag might fall under tag-vandalism. Regards. Miskin 03:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

why you deleted ghoom

Hi Shane,

I was thinking about deleting those (authors request), however I saw you removed the speedy tags, so I thought I'd check with you first. "Author requests deletion. Any page for which deletion is requested by the original author, provided the page's only substantial content was added by its author and was mistakenly created." I would argue that the author was the only person to add substantial content to those articles, as all other human edits were tags and minor Wiki formatting issues. So any objections if I go ahead and speedy those, or did you have some other reasoning? Cheers, Petros471 18:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well as you can see by the current red state of the links, another admin has decided that they meet db-author. Did you see the legal argument happening on Tawker's talk page about them? I just thought if we could delete them under a CSD it would save trouble for all parties. My take on 'mistakenly created' was 'didn't fully understand GFDL license', but I'm no legal expert! Thanks, Petros471 19:34, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No problem :) Petros471 19:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

personal attack

I needed to ask for some assistance, InShaneee, care to check this comment in my talk page? Is it a personal attack? I had a suspicion about a bunch of users being sockpuppets or meatpuppets, and wrote a report, is that considered a provocation from my side? Anyone has the right to be suspicious, according to activities of editors, right? any help would be appreciated. ilir_pz 23:37, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Funny you automatically came to InShaneee to help you, just like Albanians have always done, always asking for help from someone more powerfull and experienced. You see, I try to solve problems on my own, like any confident man, without crying to my "big brother". InShaneee, good luck with this user, I hope you understand how he's taking advantage of your powers, and I hope you will ignore his last statement. -- serbiana - talk 00:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
InShaneee, as you can notice from the comment above "Funny you automatically came to InShaneee to help you, just like Albanians have always done," I am being additionally an object of wiki-stalking, personal attacking, and what not. I do not ask for a big brother here, but try to stop people who disturb me, in a civilized way through competent people. I am confident enough that admins know how to deal with such in a better way. Regards, ilir_pz 00:25, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
See how he's sucking up, InShaneee? As I've said, good luck. -- serbiana - talk 00:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You dropped a line in my talk page, asking me to rather discuss than just revert or I will be blocked. If you looked at the talk page of the article, I did call for people to discuss and not continue inserting that box, which I consider inappropriate there. And as you can see, none responded. So I do not think it should be me who should be warned for not discussing, but a bunch of "MSN coordinated" users who keep reverting it in a synchronized fashion, to make me cross the 3RR rule, or get the attention of an admin, like you in this case. Please revise the edits, and then accuse me. If I deserve it, I don't mind, but in this case I do not. ilir_pz 10:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize if I've been causing any frustration to you by my reverts, which I still insist I always discussed for, and justified. Nevertheless, I think you have many more other editors to worry about, and a rather different approach (than block) works with me. I apologize again. Regards, ilir_pz 22:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attack

Hi InShaneee. Please take note of the last sentence of this edit by User:Inahet on an AFD, accusing "writer and the defenders of the anti-Persianism article" of "turning Wikipedia into a soapbox or a battleground". I warned the user about this personal attack, and asked him to discuss the topic not the users, but he remains defiant while threating me for asking him to read the policies. [25] --ManiF 07:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Inahet is now attacking me on Zora's talk page. [26] --ManiF 07:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For goodness sake, can you tell me how any of those statements would be considered personal attacks? ManiF is labeling some of my statements as personal attacks. This is not civil behaviour, and he is not assuming good faith, but he has the nerve to tell me to read the policies. Keep in mind that this user had not so long ago lobbied for meatpuppetry outside Wikipedia.[27] Here is an excerpt of what he wrote in an open letter at an Iranian site. "Separatist Arabs and Kurds, plus a few politically-motivated Arab and Israeli nationals, have been repeatedly and systematically vandalizing the Iran-related articles on Wikipedia." I'm certain that he includes me as one of the "politically-motivated Arabs" who has "repeatedly and systematically vandalizing the Iran-related articles on Wikipedia." As you can see, my comments are not in anyway near the severity of his accusations. And although I did not accuse anyone directly (e.g. user:John Doe is lobbying for votes [which is btw not a personal attack either]), ManiF's behaviour does give basis to the accusation of votestacking. Also, he is accusing me of threatening him, which I did not, he is mislabeling my comments yet again. And in the case of me being defiant, well the last time I checked ManiF wasn't my master. --Inahet 07:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see, User:Inahet is now wikistalking me as well. --ManiF 08:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep an eye on Azari and the talk:Azari. I have started the following in the discussion.

It has been ages since these citations have not been verified. Verification is needed. If not delete the material. the amount of time granted has been generious.

[33] find it funny that you nationalsitic Turks are so quick to throw about adhominem personal attacks –

[34] No comment from the otherwise vociferous Turkish quarter?

[35] I wouldn't give credit for anything written by "Weems" as even worthy to wipe my ass with.

It'd be also helpful to remind this user to stay away from contaminating the talk page with abundant irrelevant copy-paste articles, which you can immediately notice if you check the talk page of Armenian Genocide article. He's been reminded multiple times by other users [36] with no success.

That does not seem very reasonable to me. I removed the comment before he even wrote the next post. How could you say that that is not extremely rude? It would be one thing if I went back to the middle of the discussion and removed a part of a bad argument, but this is different, anyways even if you don't see it as being wrong to reinsert the comment, how could you consider it okay to block someone for it? Especially when he and I were the only parties to the dispute?- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 18:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that you removed a sentence from your own post, it's that you removed a quotation and explanatory sentence from the post *I* made in response thus rendering what remained of my post nonsensical.

Look, I will not be playing this stupid game with you

I gently request that you step down and ask another administrator to manage this thing. There is hardly any policies or guidelines being respected on that talk page of that article, either you decide to read what is happening there and pay attention or stop giving up to trouble makers. Just for your information, deepblue06 that is reporting me, has done much worst, and here an example. [45] Slandering an academic with words such as this: 'Dadrian is only good at one thing: Propoganda and Forgeries' is worster than calling some anonymous user a liar. Also, it would be interesting that you highlight the words which you think would qualify as ban material. Also, don't worry, other than slandering academics like this, which is a clear cases of diffamation and is criminal under the laws of his state, deepblue06 isen't immune of making personal attacks like accusing me of hallucination. [46] But since that articles talk page is in a choas, I won't take part in scrutinizing who slandered whom most by whom and to whom. Being an administrator is not to distribute warnings without taking the time to understand, even in court of law, an element of the evidences are not processed before trying to place it in context. Fad (ix) 22:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If your intention is to follow any single posts I make and provoke me, you won't obtain any results from that. I will ignore your last warning because there is absolutly nothing remote to what could be constituted as warning material. Having administrative privilages doesn't give you the right to throw peoples warning like this. In my book you don't fit to administratorship and I am confident that more you distribute such empty warnings and more it will become clear as it is a matter of time. But what was I expecting, when an administrator retaliate for a critic of himself and sign an RfC in which he was not involved in anyway or ban another member because he criticised him/her and didn't left another administrator handle it, obviously there is something wrong. Stop searching bugs, I have no problem being watched over and will gladly welcome any administrators to pay attention to my conducts, but out of respect to veterans here many who are registered before even you came here, at least you should leave them tell you step down and leave another administrator handle the situation. You are taking this matter too personally, and consider that you don't have to do that everytime some criticize your use of administrative privilages. Fad (ix) 02:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how non-answer by any other administrator supports your decision, to the contrary. There was no rejection of the unblock by any administrator which speak by itself, in court of law, it is this same doubt that set someone free. That you have not admitted your mistake, this I won't forget, but I'm sure you don't care. I will in due time report your mistake. Fad (ix) 04:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed; fair enough if a decision is made to block Google Web Accelerator to prevent intrinsic anonymity that these sorts of proxies give, but it's essential that this is explained on the block page, rather than "We think you're GorrilazFanAdam" which is completely confusing, especially to people who don't understand a thing about the technical workings.

G. Patrick Maxwell & Withdrawing Rfd because of free-for-all

Thanks for the vote of sanity. However, I have withdrawn the Rfd. It has become a free-for- all forum to launch personal attacks, and to discuss everything but the merits of the Rfd. Since no administrator has seen fit to do anything to stop it, I am taking action to protect myself. I have deleted the personal attacks and discussion that has nothing to do with the Rfd. Someone needs to do something to stop it, and nobody will. THis may be the last I ever participate in Wikopedia, because I don't think much of this kind of selective monitoring/administering. This is not personal to you, so please don't take it that way. However, I have received emails from people I don't even know saying that Midgely has a long pattern of bullying and intimidating anyone with whom he disagrees, until people just leave Wikopedia. I do not know if this is true or not, but judging from what I have seen, I would believe it. I am truly astonished that no admininstrator has put a stop to the pages and pages and pages of venom.MollyBloom 02:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yacht rock

If you have issues with article content, how about discussing it rather than dumping citation templates into it? Without an explanation, I can't tell what your citation requests mean.

The article just finished an AfD that was caused by a number of editors believing "yacht rock" to be a neologism - ie, a new term. If it's not a new term (as your edit suggested), then it can't be a neologism. So who's right?

The articles that are already referenced in the article credit "yacht rock" to Ryznar and the show, which is precisely why the article survived the AfD process.

I have no problem with an editor attempting to improve an article. But unexplained drive-by "citation needed"'s do absolutely nothing to help an article. They deserve at least the barest modicum of an explanation, at least so that the editors who actually care about the article can figure out how to accommodate. -- ChrisB 04:04, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, don't get me wrong, I AM a fan of the series. Second of all, I thought that my cite requests were pretty self-explanitory. Mainly, I want to see some proof that the creators of the show popularized the term. I'd appreciate if you'd add back in my cite requests for the statements pertaining to that for the time being. --InShaneee 20:48, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
When I started working on the article, a couple of folks challenged the idea that the show popularized the term. They insisted that it existed beforehand to describe that music. I'm a longtime music geek, and I hadn't heard the term (though that doesn't mean it wasn't there). So I went looking. I parsed through every major music-related publication's archives (that were available) and came up completely empty. Even the Internet itself was lacking: the 1994 Usenet post was one of three occurrences of the term that I could find - the second was a 1997 Jimmy Buffett-related newsletter that questioned if "yacht rock" was an appropriate way to describe Buffett's music, the third was a 2004 blog post that used the term off-hand. In particular, Rolling Stone had nothing (and should have), and The New York Times' first occurrence came in a 2006 review of a Donald Fagan concert. Even newspapers with extensive archives (eg, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, LA Times) have nothing. And that's doubly notable for the LA Times, given the location of the "yacht rock" music scene.
So here's my challenge to you: find one article that pre-dates the show that uses "yacht rock" to describe that particular music. (Read: pre-2005.) I'm not requesting that for purposes of sourcing the article - I'm offering that so that you can parse through Google (etc) and see how the term "yacht rock" is inextricably linked to the show in its current usage. There are literally thousands of articles and blog posts that use the term "yacht rock", and nearly all of them reference the show in some way. (Even those that don't directly mention the show were written in the last year, and reference the specific bands parodied in the show.)
I'm not arguing that the term didn't exist before the show - it clearly did. But it categorically was not popularly used before the show. (Even if you take into account the Buffett references, the term wasn't popularly used, even in that regard.) The term is in heavy popular usage now, and it's entirely linked to the show's existence. -- ChrisB 04:57, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have previously blocked me because I was trying to defend my edits at the article Child suicide bombers in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

You gave me advices and I tried to follow them. I was away from the article for a while. Then I made small edits of unsourced information and replaced it with cited info.

Although I provided my citation, I immediately got RV by Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg!! in less than 15 minutes.

At least in two times you came for the defense of this user. Now please help me do some reasonable editing. Thank you

Now what can I do? --Thameen 17:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted an in progress article.

I was making an article about all of the teachers at wayzata high school and you deleted it before I could finish and complete the article. I can see why you would delete it if I just left it like that but as I said it was in progress

Hey InShaneee - Article about Backgammon Chouette

Hey,

You have recently deleted an article I made stating it was copyvio. The site, from which you saw the article (redtopbg.com/chouette.php) is my site and I wanted to share my backgammon knowledge with the rest of the world, thus published it on the wiki site as well. if there is a problem with that can you explain how can I amended this so the information could be published.

Thanks for your time, David Davidoff 04:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: AFD and the Generals Strucutures

I currently have four seperate versions of the structures pages consloidated here, and I was wondering if you would take a look at the work I have done so far and put your two cents in about which version would stand the lowest chance of ending up on AFD. Keep in mind the versions are not set in stone, I am still tinkering with them in an efort to make them more capatable with WP:NOT standards. TomStar81 04:58, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Civility issues

Hello InShanee, recently you gave a warning to Haham hanuka for his uncivil behavior against me on the Germany page. Unfortunately he continues his ways as if had not been warned. Here for example he falsely accuses me of POV pushing for a difference of opinion on the contents of an article, specifically putting an accent on my name. Otherwise he frequently advises to "watch" me (he does this also to other users) or calls me a vandal. As you will see in his edit history all this happens very often. I hope you can do something about this situation, because my neutrality and reputation is very important for continuing to overhaul some of the most contested articles on Wikipedia, an intellectual challenge I enjoy very much. Best regards, gidonb 21:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you could not do anything about it - never mind. I am sort of getting used this. Would be good though if someone could take some action. Regards, gidonb 02:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Religious hatred

"I dont care what in past our ancestors may wrongly followed...Why that spider mark should be in artile but not a sign of our true religion, the holy Islam?" [51]

The comment is regarding Zoroastrianism and it's symbol..Can you please warn him that some might find such comments very offensive? --K a s h Talk | email 00:07, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He also went to Islam article..spamming for "help"!! [52] --K a s h Talk | email 00:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

please unblock

Don't mean to be a bother but I did ask a while ago on my usertalk page as is standard. Thanks CyntWorkStuff 20:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Reversion of legitimate edit

Hi, I noticed you reverted[53] a legitimate edit to the Uwe Boll page. I know how easy it is to mistakenly revet something when looking out for vandalism, but you really should correct it yourself. An admin has added responsibility not to wantonly revert edits, possibly scaring off new editors. I've readded the info, without the "Ironically" and with a citation. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention. Cheers. Nscheffey(T/C) 21:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Block evasion

Hi. It looks like 72.57.230.179 tries to evade the block by using another IP address: [54]

Please have a look at contributions of this anonymous user, especially to the article about Ismail I. Now check it with his agenda: [55]

He was planning to remove the word Turkish from this article, and he tried to do so. And he’s interested in the same articles, everything related to Azerbaijani people with obvious anti-Turkic agenda.

Uncivil remarks on Lehi (group)

Hello InShaneee, User:Lemuel Gulliver has become increasingly rude on the Talk:Lehi (group) talk page [56] [57], I am sure that I would not be taken seriously if I was the one that asked him to be civil since the attacks were directed towards me and he has not listened in the past.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 20:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No personal attacks

Information icon Hello, I'm [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}]]. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|my talk page]]. Thank you.
I assume good faith and believe that this was an honest mistake. The case you alluded to is different from the one that occurred now as you could have easily verified if you had taken the time before posting unsubstantiated allegations where they mislead others. Please remain civil in the future. Socafan 00:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uncivil language

Dear Shane. On the Nagorno-Karabakh discussion page, AdilBaguirov has been using uncivil language for some time, which really makes it hard to have discussions. Here are two recent edits: [58] and [59]. I don't think statements like "please stop projecting your own image onto others and do not make baseless, groundless accusations that are so frivolous that make one wonder the real intentions" or "Golbez, just because a few ignorant users "disagree", doesn't mean there is no concesus. Neither NK page nor Wikipedia can be held hostage by a few motivated users who base their incalcitrant and meritless positions" is particularly constructive. Please warn him against violating rules of civility. Thank you.--TigranTheGreat 22:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AdilBaguirov continues his uncivil and inflamatory language, as in this newest edits: [60] and [61]. It really hinders discussion. Please intervene. Thank you.--TigranTheGreat 23:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What hinders discussions, and is inflamatory, is when one makes certain claims which routinely turn out to be untrue. --AdilBaguirov 12:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Like the ones you constantly make in Talk:Tigranes_the_Great or Talk:Koryun or Talk:Nagorno-Karabakh. Already two topics have been locked vecause of your behaviour.--Eupator 17:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Eupator, you played a certain role in that as well by reverting legitimate edits without a discussion. Grandmaster 17:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
None of the edits were legitimate as perfectly supported by two other users, AdilBaguirov and you know this quite well. The only reason AdilBaguirov is making these edits is to cause havoc and disrupt the articles.--Eupator 17:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually Tigran, the one who is unconstructive and uncivil is not me, the person who revealed legitimate information about Koryun and Tigranes Great not being ethnic Armenian, but those who oppose the inclusion of this crucial information. --AdilBaguirov 17:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

I don't know what to do in case of this new user he assumes too much which I can't deal with right now [62], I tried explaining it all in his talk page [63] but it didn't work. Can you remind him to assume good faith, I think that'd be a good start? --K a s h Talk | email 10:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fadix

Hi Inshaneee. Would you mind to have a look at the behavior of User:Fadix at Nakhichevan talk? This person was many times reminded by me and other users of the necessity to adhere to civility rules, but still continues his personal attacks and uncivil comments, constantly calling me a POV pusher, etc. Here’s the last example: [64] Grandmaster 09:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not recognize your autority as an Administrator, and I will be ignoring your warning. you own me an apology for having abused your administrator privilages in blocking me, for which you should be blocked yourself. Grandmaster is indeed POV pushing, and there is nothing wrong in telling someone to be a POV pusher in an article which he is POV pushing. Also, yet to come your warning to him after I have reported similar statments made by him and which you have ignored. But interesting that you never miss the occasion to warn me in any given occasion which I am reported. Fad (ix) 19:21, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since Fadix brought this to wikien-L, I figured I'd have a look. What about the comments on Talk:Nakhichevan counts as a blockable PA? It's a heated argument, but nothing more. Am I missing something? And his response to you, while overly aggressive, doesn't strike me as blockable either (not for 36 hours). Am I missing something? Guettarda 14:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Guidelines

There are many wikipedia guidelines, many often conflict each other. Guidelines are ment to guide users in writing high quality articles and are not absolute. If the application of a guideline degrades article quality, I am more than willing to ignore it.

Some wikiprojects set their own guidelines such as the one ned 'works' at (has a total of 6 members I believe). Nothing compels me to follow their 'standards', especialy if the format I use is used on 3 featured lists, all three I used. He is telling me that I cannot use DVD covers on that list I have initiated. He has no such authority, no one does. Consider this change [65] in the name of guidelines.

My comment originaly was protesting against the application of WP:FICTION on stub articles I created. Now I intend to expand them in time, I cannot do that in an hour. The creation of the stubs happened less than a week ago. People started talking about mergers before I could even rewatch the series.

This whole thing is pretty silly, I know but it is not a content dispute. Ned just want the articles to appear exactly how he wants them. He does not contribute to the articles much. Prior to june he had no contribution to air at all.

--Cat out 04:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This hole thing started when I answered this request. I made this fatal edit for which Ned had practicaly punished me. neds other contribution on Talk:List of Lost episodes is also visible. In sum I am being punished for making a remark. --Cat out 04:24, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just say a few things about that. First off, I think the the times when guidelines should not be followed are rare exceptions, not the rules, and I don't think I'm alone in that view. Secondly, it does seem that he is discussing this. If consensus goes against him and he continues to revert, then there's something actionable. Thirdly, I personally detest stubs and believe that everyone should make use of workspaces to get a good sized article before posting (and I was a big supporter of WP:FICT). Finally, there's nothing wrong with jumping into a new article and making changes to a page so long as you don't go against the feeling of the other editors, which can be determined through discussion. --InShaneee 04:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK consider this. You start edititing an article (you initiate it) and this third party comes and dictates it. List of Oh My Goddess episodes List of Planetes episodes List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes follow the style I want for List of Air episodes. Is there any reason you would object to that?
Would you object to stub articles the second you notice them or would you give them like a month or a week?
