Warning

Regarding this, Miles did not violate 3RR, and had already banned you from his talk page. The next time you leave a template on Miles's talk page, with the exception of official administrators noticeboard templates required by policy, you may expect a 24 hour block. Please let me know if you need any clarification — otherwise, stop the templating. ~Adjwilley (talk) 22:44, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well yes, I guess you need to clarify how I'm supposed to address the matter when Miles is edit-warring and is in danger of a 3RR block, which was indeed the case in that situation. I'm fully aware that his 3 reverts covered a span of 29 hours, but do you honestly believe that a 4th would not have resulted in a block? Or are you simply endorsing his behavior?

I haven't posted a single thing on Miles' talk page since his last appearance at ANI (almost 2 weeks ago) and would not have done so were it not for his disruptive behavior. But some warnings are required in certain circumstances and this happens to be one of them.

And while you're here, I think you need to explain your rather blatant favoritism towards Miles by looking the other way even though you know full well he's a sock, and also your stalking of my edits looking for opportunities to abuse your admin privileges. Miles hasn't asked for an administrator to intervene, so why are you stepping into the middle of this on Miles' behalf? Roccodrift (talk) 23:16, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The sock issue has been resolved. MM might be tag-teaming, but is not a sock or meatpuppet. Nor is there even faint favoritism, let alone blatant. Adjwilley is being very even handed and should be thanked, rather than criticized, for endeavoring to get resolution. Finally, there is no need for MM to ask for an admin to intervene. The ANI is underway and making progress. I suggest, I urge you, to retract these comments. – S. Rich (talk) 00:09, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see things differently on the subjective matter of Adjwilley's behavior, so we'll have to agree to disagree. But on the matter of socking, it is absolutely not resolved. I'm not talking about the case involving Steeletrap; there has been an entirely different case, filed by Adjwilley himself. Inexplicably, Miles was never CUed [1], and Adj is on the record since then stating that he still suspects Miles is a sock [2]. Again, you're entitled to your own opinion on what Adj is doing here, but the facts are the facts. Roccodrift (talk) 00:58, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Show me the policy that requires you to leave a 3RR template on the talk page of an established user who is at 2RR, and I'll eat my words. On me knowing full well that he's a sock, I'd say that in my opinion you and he are in the same boat there. I've filed SPIs on you both, and they came back stale. On addressing the matter of edit warring without user talk templates, start a thread on the talk page and seek consensus. If they break 3RR, take them to WP:ANEW. There is no obligatory warning, especially for someone who has been warned as often as MilesMoney. If you think I'm wrong there, we can discuss it. ~Adjwilley (talk) 00:37, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take this guidance under advisement, but my understanding of the rules of engagement at ANEW is that the template is required before filing a report. That truly is the only reason I gave it to him, and had I believed that step could be skipped, I would have done so.

And again, had Miles dropped another revert and gone to 4RR in 30 hours, do you propose that he would have gotten away with it? Because of the previous warnings you just mentioned, I don't believe he would have.

In any event, I hope we can at least agree that his editing on the article was disruptive and for the good of the project it was time to slow his roll a little. Roccodrift (talk) 00:58, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BLP

Please be aware that WP:BLP applies to talk pages also. As such, I have redacted this.- Mr X 21:48, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Poor judgment on your part, I would say. And I doubt if Ms. Marcotte would appreciate your white-knighting. Roccodrift (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you restore that WP:BLP violation again, you will be reported to WP:ANI.- Mr X 22:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
