Talk page edits

Please, calm down a bit on talk pages. The section you added to Sri Lanka talk:Sri Lanka#Sharia law is not practiced in sri lanka is pretty aggressively written, with the bold font, disparaging remarks "This is like teaching 2 years olds" and other comments that push the limits a bit. Please don't post like that. It makes it very difficult to have reasonable discussions when you start with a hostile tone. You have a strong view about something but that post utterly rejects and demeans any other view. Ask yourself why would an editor with different have any desire to work with you at that point? Would you want to work with someone who disregards your view in such a manner? People will have different opinions.

Also, please read through the talk page organization guide. In particular, indenting your posts with colons : which helps keep things organized. Thanks! Ravensfire (talk) 16:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

I believe this article is within the parameters of the Misplaced Pages guidelines, if you have a problem with the content of the article, Please raise you concerns in the talk page. Regarding copyright I have done what you requested. If what I did was not acceptable, Please tell me what is then acceptable. Distributor108 (talk) 12:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
The copyright on this material belongs to the Sri Lankan Ministry of Defence. If you have, as I suspect, simply send a message to Permissions claiming that the Ministry of Defence has allowed you to use their work, this will not be accepted. You will need to provide evidence from the MOD themselves demonstrating that they will allow this, or alternatively, show that they released it under CC-BY-SA.
Let's deal with the POV issue if you manage to get past the copyright problems. Until then, it's largely irrelevant. Yunshui (talk) 12:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Then what is acceptable? What evidence do you require from MoD to prove i own the copyright? Also why is it claiming "as a copyright infringement of http://reliefweb.int/node/438364 " This link clearly states MoD as the owners of the copyright! This copyright infringement claim is absurd.
I agree that releifweb.int was not the original source - that wasn't my insertion, and I've since found the correct original: and included it in the deletion rationale. Unless you wrote the report, you don't own the copyright. If the MOD give permission for their documents to be used on Misplaced Pages, we would need some sort of official e-mail from their Press Relations or Publications Officer, or someone in a similar role, saying that they released the copyright under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, thus enabling anyone to use their text. Yunshui (talk) 12:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Okay to what addressee should the their official press relations officer send the email? And do you require any certain format for the email? Distributor108 (talk) 13:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
They should send the confirmation to permissions-enwikimedia.org. As far as I know, there's no set format; as long as the email comes from the appropriate person in their office (verifiable by the return address) and clearly states that they release this document under the licenses listed above (and, as the sender, are authorised to do so), there should be no problem. Yunshui (talk) 13:05, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Not a problem, I do that soon. However in the meantime, can you remove the speedy deletion notice from the article. As I have provided a reasonable explanation, further there is no direct copyright claim from MoD, nor is their a claim in the original article. Distributor108 (talk) 13:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
User:Lectonar has already deleted the article. This is as it should be; it can be recreated once the copyright issue is settled. Yunshui (talk) 13:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
How will I know Misplaced Pages accepted the copyright notice? Will i get a return message from permissions-enwikimedia.org Distributor108 (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
Conventionally, you would place an {{OTRS pending}} tag on the article's talkpage. Since the talkpage has been deleted, this isn't an option (I suppose one could recreate it, but it would probably then be wiped under WP:G8). The sender of the e-mail to Permissions will get a response back, I suggest you request that they forward it to you to let you know whether the submission was accepted. Yunshui (talk) 13:29, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


As I told you I was in the process of the cleaning up the article to conform with WP guidelines, You need to allow me to clean it up before invoking WP:G8. WP:G8is usually invoked for articles that consistently fail to meet request for clean up or no going process for the clean up can be seen. Distributor108 (talk) 13:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

G8 is used for pages which rely on a nonexistent page - recreating the talk page for this article would come under that heading. It has nothing to do with article clean-up.
Wait for the ORTS report to come back clean, then recreate the article. Be prepared, however, to be challenged if it appears in the same form as before - whilst you may get around the copyright issue, that's but the first reason of many for deleting this article. If you're set on having it in Misplaced Pages, I suggest submitting it to WP:AfC first, to get much-needed feedback. Once the copyright clearance comes back, obviously. Yunshui (talk) 13:41, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sri lanka Armed forces Conduct during war

The article Sri lanka Armed forces Conduct during war has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Regardless of the status of the OTRS ticket, this content is unencyclopedic as is. The text below should be summarized in an article.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Blanchardb -- timed 14:22, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Copyright vio on Alleged war crimes during the Sri Lankan Civil War

Hey, I left some comments on the talk page about that. I *think* they're actually copying from us. I'm hoping you'll take a look and let me know what you think. When in doubt though, always throw up the flag on it. Copyright stuff is taken pretty seriously here. WP articles are, in fact, copyrighted, but in a way that allows others to copy our stuff with attribution. Annoying at times, but that's how the site is setup to work. Thanks!

Request reason:

This block is unwarranted I was preventing vandalism on WP by user Intoronto1125 and Hazard-SJ to the Sri Lanka Armed Forces page

Decline reason:

As another uninvolved administrator, I was about to take the same action. Therefore, in my opinion, the block is warranted.--slakr 06:57, 4 January 2012 (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.

I would like a third opinion.

The block was valid. You were edit warring. You have two choices: analyze what you did wrong(edit warring) and apologize or wait out the block. Also please sign all your post with four tildes ~ --Adam in MO Talk 07:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Seeing as you don't seem to be getting the point and persisted in edit warring, your block has been extended to a week. You're exhausting my patience. —Dark 06:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
How can i persist in edit warring after i have been blocked? I want to report Dark for abuse of powers.
Sock puppets, that's how. --MuZemike 06:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation involving you

There is currently a sockpuppet investigation involving you here. If you wish to reply post it here and I am sure someone, will copy it over there.--Adam in MO Talk 06:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

So I can defend myself on the sock puppet investigation

Decline reason:

 Confirmed by CheckUser that Micheal faraday (talk · contribs) = Distributor108 (talk · contribs), as the other CheckUser already confirmed in the sock investigation. You're not fooling us, you know. --MuZemike 06:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Can I defend myself so i can explain why the CheckUser came out positive?

Decline reason:

Yes, you can defend yourself on this very page, no unblock needed. Max Semenik (talk) 07:06, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

So you hired your friend, or your brother, or your friend's brother, to assist in your blatant ownership of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces page (who just popped out of nowhere nonetheless). Do you really expect us to believe that? --MuZemike 07:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Please give me my human rights, and let me defend myself against the accusations.
Regardless of the block you are capable of explaining anything that you want to right here on your user page. Persistent abuse(ie 3 or more) of unblock request will probably result in losing your talk page privileges.--Adam in MO Talk 07:04, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


And I suppose 114.76.220.19 was from somebody else, as well, not to mention he cries "vandalism", I mean "vanderlism", as you did. --MuZemike 07:06, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
This is a shared IP address. Any user on this account could have created that account. I guarantee you, that account does not belong to me. Distributor108 (talk) 07:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
...and reverted the same article. And said the same thing. And warned the same users with the same warnings. --MuZemike 07:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
MuZemike Look at how Micheal faraday spelt "vandalism"; are you saying its impossible for another user on this network to do that? Distributor108 (talk) 07:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Either stop this nonsense or move on. We know you have be using sockpuppets and that is that.--Adam in MO Talk 07:18, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Now that you have explanation for my block, you come with vague terms without being specific. and expect me to buy it. Tell me specifically why my explanation is not valid to you? Distributor108 (talk) 07:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
So he decided to edit that article, right after you got blocked, right out of nowhere? Perhaps we didn't catch the first time you pulled this when you got blocked this past September (before of which Faraday made this edit, after not having a single edit after being created in May 2010 to Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/16 September 2011/Sri Lanka, saying that he would mediate the case), but we caught you this time. Again, you are not fooling us, now please stop. --MuZemike 07:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I know Mike, his my mate. I told him to mediate the case. anything wrong with that? Distributor108 (talk) 07:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Are you willing to stop edit warring, stop using sockpuppets and help us create an encyclopedia?--Adam in MO Talk 07:32, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes Distributor108 (talk) 07:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Are you willing to address the your problems as an editor and to not edit any Sri Lanka related pages until you can show us that you are here as to edit in good faith?--Adam in MO Talk 07:36, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Yes I am, Before I make any edits on the any Sri Lanka related pages I promise to discuss them in the talk page and establish a consensus first. Distributor108 (talk)
Nope I am saying you would proabably have to agree to a total Sri Lanka topic ban. No edits to the pages no edits to the talk pages no mentions on your user talk page or any other for a couple of months. Do you agree to a Sri Lanka topic ban?--Adam in MO Talk 07:42, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Till midnight 31st Jan 2012 acceptable to you? After that I only use talk pages before making edits till midnight 31st Feb 2012 Distributor108 (talk) 07:45, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Nope. If you get unblocked you will have to agree to a total topic ban on Sri Lanka related pages, broadly construed, until such time as you can prove that you won't edit war. After a history of good faith edits you could go back to the community and try to get the topic ban lifted. There are no time limits. You will have a 1rr on all other edit. That is you can only revert someone else's edit only once. You would also have to admit to your socking and promise not to do it again. Sri Lanka topic ban, 1 revert, and stop socking. Do you agree to these three terms.--Adam in MO Talk 07:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I agree Distributor108 (talk) 07:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
