Misplaced Pages

Welcome!

Hi Freakee73! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Misplaced Pages community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Happy editing!

Just wanted to drop you a line. What Special:Contributions/98.151.17.229 did wasn't vandalism. That IP was removing unsourced edits that violated the Biography of Living Persons policy. The other IP, which was inserting those BLP violated, was indeed blocked for that activity. There's no need to jump to conclusions about who is behind an IP address. In the future, if you find someone committing vandalism in bad-faith, feel free to leave them a warning rather than reporting right away, if they merit it. Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 23:49, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Failed marriages as Ohio court records as documented, the third was in Los Angeles, documentation can be found as to this also, hence a triad. This is clearly a mediocre talent and does not merit a Misplaced Pages page for his own self promotion and if you indeed trace the ip address that is responsible for the undoing of factual information, you will find that it leads back to the subjects address in Van Nuys, California. The subject is editing his own Misplaced Pages page and thus negating the entire premise that Misplaced Pages stands for. All information cannot, and should not be positive, else this is simply an advertisement. What is the import of a Video blogger to begin with? Furthermore this advertisement is written as if Mr. Kontras has invented the concept. I will search endlessly for documentation as to who really did, and what the significance of that is.Charles F Groves (talk) 01:29, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Adam Kontras

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Adam Kontras. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Misplaced Pages:Notability and "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Adam Kontras (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

I was bringing up legitimate concerns about the viability of a page, and may have gone a bit overboard, however my concerns about the page were picked up by an administrator and the merits of my original, although incorrectly formated deletion request, are now being discussed. In the time after that I was attacked by the subject of the Misplaced Pages entry as a tactic to misdirect the attention from the subjects pages' pending deletion. It appears to be working, most of the comments against Adam Kontras page, appear to have been moved to a more noticable discussion board by someone that appears somehow allied with Adam Kontras, and is the user that has written most of Adam Kontras' page that is being reviewed for deletion, I do feel that I should be allowed to be part of the debate, and that I should have not been targeted by Adam Kontras and his Misplaced Pages allies for pointing out things that are now being debated. I feel that I am vindicated somewhat for this articles existance and viability being challenged by others now. Please review the actions against myself and against the fairness of the debate on Adam Kontras' page.

Decline reason:

I'm sorry, but your unblock request must address the reasons for your block and not point the finger at other editors. Please explain why you were blocked and how your behavior will change to prevent future incidents. TNXMan 13:54, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock reviewed|1=I was blocked for aggressive editing, that appears now to have been accurate, but I did not go through the proper Misplaced Pages guidlines.

Charles, you appear to have a personal vendetta against Mr Kontras (as per this edit. Would you be willing to accept a ban from editing articles relating to Mr Kontras (whether with Kontras as the subject of the article or otherwise)? What articles/subjects would you like to work on instead? -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 23:16, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

The vendetta is entirely personal, but I would like to point out that I was the one that brought his site being a personal biography to further himself, and inspired it being placed in AFD status when cooler heads agreed with me... but alas, my interests lie in the field of AerospaceCharles F Groves 01:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for you quick reply! Aerospace is a large area, so there is plenty of constructive editing that can be done there by you!

However, can I just ask for clarification: would you be willing to accept a ban from editing articles relating to Mr Kontras (whether with Kontras as the subject of the article or otherwise)?

Please note:

1. Should you be willing to accept such a ban, I will put this block on hold (you will still be blocked, but it will be shown as on hold), and ask for the blocking admin (PeterSymonds) to come here and make a comment
2. Should you accept such a ban, this may be listed at Misplaced Pages:Editing_restrictions#Placed_by_the_Wikipedia_community. Should you fail to adhere to the ban, your account would likely be indefinitely blocked.
3. Should you accept such a ban, any attempt to get around the ban by either using another account or by editing without being logged in would likely cause your account(s) to be indefinitely blocked.

Sorry if this seems a little heavy-handed, but I feel that it is only fair that you understand what is meant by such a ban! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 06:52, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

As my point has been made, I hereby accept said ban on editing anything related to the subject of Adam Kontras Charles F Groves 16:40, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I am now placing the block on hold, and will contact the blocking admin (PeterSymonds) and ask him to comment here. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 19:04, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! There is actually an article on ferret legging that I support and could contribute to. I have personal knowledge on the subject. never participated,,, lol.Charles F Groves 19:54, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Having discussed it with PeterSymonds, I am going to conditionally unblock you. For the avoidance of doubt, here are the details of the topic ban:

You are banned from editing articles relating to Mr Kontras (whether with Kontras as the subject of the article or otherwise). If you fail to adhere to the ban, your account will be indefinitely blocked with no further warnings. Any attempt to get around the ban by either using another account or by editing without being logged will cause your account(s) to be indefinitely blocked with no further warnings.

These will be listed at Misplaced Pages:Editing restrictions. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 15:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
