Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:14, 15 October 2007

Create your own section to provide evidence in, and do not edit anyone else's section. Keep your evidence to a maximum of 1000 words and 100 diffs. Evidence longer than this will be refactored or removed entirely.

Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Create your own section and do not edit in anybody else's section. Please limit your main evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs and keep responses to other evidence as short as possible. A short, concise presentation will be more effective; posting evidence longer than 1000 words will not help you make your point. Over-long evidence that is not exceptionally easy to understand (like tables) will be trimmed to size or, in extreme cases, simply removed by the Clerks without warning - this could result in your important points being lost, so don't let it happen. Stay focused on the issues raised in the initial statements and on diffs which illustrate relevant behavior.

It is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff in question, or to a short page section; links to the page itself are insufficient. Never link to a page history, an editor's contributions, or a log, as those will have changed by the time people click on your links. Please make sure any page section links are permanent. See simple diff and link guide.

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see the talk page. If you think another editor's evidence is a misrepresentation of the facts, cite the evidence and explain how it is incorrect within your own section. Please do not try to re-factor the page or remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, leave it for the Arbitrators or Clerks to move.

Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop. /Workshop provides for comment by parties and others as well as Arbitrators. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact or remedies, Arbitrators vote at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators may edit /Proposed decision.

Evidence presented by Melsaran

(will elaborate later)

Alkivar has misused admin tools

• Deleted a page in userspace per WP:OR (which is not applicable to userspace) while it had been kept by MFD twice before. Deletion was overturned by Spartaz after unanimous consensus to restore at WP:DRV.
• Protected a page because he edit-warred with a user adding information he disagreed with (and he inappropriately used admin rollback to remove the content). Protection was overturned by Edokter with the comment not a valid reason for protection.
  • Show me an edit war? I made a single reversion, and protected it. If anything this is a WP:WRONG argument being put forth.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 21:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
• Protected a page while involved in a content dispute over the addition of a "pop culture" section. Protection was overturned by B with the comment inappropriate protection - admin tools should not be used in this manner.
  • Again show me how i'm even remotely involved in the content dispute? I made no edits to the article at any time, until a revert just prior to protection. Same WP:WRONG argument as above.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 21:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
• Blocked a long-term constructive user for "wikistalking" who was reverting someone who removed pop culture sections from hundreds of articles en masse. Block was almost immediately overturned by Nishkid64 with the comment User seems to have been acting in good-faith per discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Trivia sections. Indefinite block was a bit too much.
  • Please read the definition of wikistalking posted at WP:STALK: "The term "wiki-stalking" has been coined to describe following a contributor around the wiki, editing the same articles as the target." Equazcion reverted the last 90 or so edits by User:Burntsauce, across multiple articles, without prior discussion on any of these articles, AND flagged each as vandalism. This is a dictionary definition example of "wiki-stalking".  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 21:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Alkivar has been incivil in log summaries

Evidence presented by User:B

Disputed actions

There are three administrative actions that were the reasons for this request:

• Protection of Palatine uvula (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (undone by B)
• Block of Equazcion (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) (undone by Nishkid64)
• Protection of Area code 205 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (undone by Edokter)

There are several other administrative actions I have noticed on a cursory glance of Alkivar's logs that, on the surface, appear questionable and should be explained:

• Protection of User talk:Phil Sandifer (logs) with the message "if i cant have my banner... you cant have your protection... how's them apples?"
• Two-week block of Wwefan980 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), apparently in response to . The user has since left Misplaced Pages.
• Protection of Talk:Demonoid (logs) - as far as I can tell, there was only one IP vandal, who simply could have been blocked rather than protecting the page. In any event, indef protecting talk pages is usually a bad idea.
• Deletion of Misplaced Pages:What would Jack do? (logs)
