October 2010

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:SandyGeorgia. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. I am referring to this edit. Describing specific users as "immature children" and "waste of space" does not come near civility. Demiurge1000 (talk) 10:16, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey, it's a DYK regular!

Your warning isn't tailored toward the holy civility policy. It's for a "ersonal attack directed at a specific editor". I suggest you read WP:NPA, as you clearly misunderstand it. As for civility, what is the point of that again? Whwya (talk) 10:48, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

No, it's a DYK reviewer. Little difference though there may be. And if I'd meant to specify WP:CIVIL I would've done so. But really, "Insulting or disparaging an editor is a personal attack regardless of the manner in which it is done" (emphasis in original) is quite clear and rather difficult to misunderstand. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 10:58, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Ha, unfortunately that isn't applied equally to all editors. Admins get away with vindictive comments. Whwya (talk) 01:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

And so do some non-admins who are "too important" to receive sanctions for personal attacks or incivility. Too important even for their names to be mentioned, in some cases, I've been told.

But no matter; the distinction may be of great importance to you, but it is of no interest to me. I delivered the above notice about your behaviour without concerning myself to check whether you are an admin or not.

Pilbara rail network

Your recent edit to Pilbara rail network has actually deleted everything below the place you placed the tag. I suggest you take a more careful approach to your edits. I've also removed the tag as I can't see any copyright violation in the article. If you do, please discuss them on the talk page. Calistemon (talk) 08:32, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll fix that. I did not delete it; the template just masks everything following. I wrote of the copyvios here Template talk:Did you know#Pilbara rail network. Whwya (talk) 08:34, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I had a look at at your concerns. You are saying that these are copyrightg violations?

My text:

The network operates the following locomotives:

• 72 x GE Dash-9
• 51 x GE Evolution Series
• 5 x GE Dash-8

Rio's:

Locomotives:

• 72 x GE Dash 9.

• 51 x GE Evo.

• 5 x GE Dash 8.

And this one:

My text:

With 1,300 kilometres of track, it is the largest privately owned heavy freight rail network in Australia

Rio's:

With a network of 12 mines, three shipping terminals and the largest privately owned heavy freight rail network in Australia, our Pilbara operations make up a major part of our iron ore activities globally.

And this one:

My text:

Treasurer Wayne Swan declared that access to the rail lines by third parties would increase competition, stop infrastructure double-ups and reduce damage to sensitive native title and environmental regions.

Source text:

Following the National Competition Council's recommendation, Mr Swan declared the rail lines accessible by other users for 20 years on the grounds it would increase competition, stop infrastructure double-ups and reduce damage to sensitive native title and environmental regions.

Are you for real, mate? I could possibly see the third one as to close in text, and that could be altered quite easily but there is absolutley nothing wrong with the first two! Calistemon (talk) 08:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

User:JamesBWatson has done some rewording of the article. I, for my part think it sufficently solves all potential disputes. Calistemon (talk) 09:15, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Replied at Talk:Hammersley & Robe River railway#Alledged copyright violations. Whwya (talk) 00:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

I really think, you need to gain some understanding what a copyright violation really is, mate. I go with User:JamesBWatson opinion that this is really a trivial matter. As to whether I'm fit to edit wikipedia or not, let Admin's decide that, luckily you don't have a say in this! Personally, having had a look at your, very limited, editing history, so far you seem to be mostly engaged in personal attacks agains user users. Calistemon (talk) 01:17, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Your editing privileges have been indefinitely suspended

You do not need a template, since you are obviously well versed in WP practice and procedure. My rationale for blocking is "you need to get your finger out of your arse and stop fucking around if you want to edit this encyclopedia." I would comment that this tariff of "indefinite" is only for as long as you feel inclined to act like a pillock. LessHeard vanU (talk) 12:02, 7 November 2010 (UTC) nb. I welcome' you raising any issue with the manner of my informing you of this block.
