| Your arguments weren't bad at all, and you'd make an eloquent spokesperson for your view if the matter came to a vote. One thing I love about Misplaced Pages is that it defaults in favor of the inclusion of information, so while I would expect our positions to be split 50/50 in support, this would normally result in their being listed. Long before my time, this debate was had; besides my own views, another reason I oppose changing is the difficulty of revising the archives. | |||
| If it means anything, I do support the death penalty, though the way it is applied in Texas and Virginia scares me. I also support criminology, and think the dispassionate analysis of criminals is a useful social science; hence, I see their being cataloged at WP as a positive good.

| Thank you very much. I think we have very similar views, as I was just looking at some other comments you made on the olympic conventions page. Medalstats and Them medals seem to be not only expressing their views, but implimenting them as well, which is rude and rather sad. As long as we continue to bash our opponents outrageous views, I think we can draw in enough supporters to make for a "pro us" resolution of these debates.

His edit summaries are routinely deceptive, such as mimicking the edit summaries he has seen so often against himself like , as well as offensively deceptive, such as for a null edit, William Pietri being one of the anti-vandals who has been trying to clean up after him. I know Jimbo likes to say that most vandal problems are resolved within a few days, but this vandal has been persisting under a horde of sock puppets for weeks, as you are familiar with.

| == Bad Astronomy Names == | |||
| You may be interested in looking at http://www.seds.org/messier/m-names.html . This SEDS website appears to be the source of many of the strange names for astronomical sources used on Misplaced Pages, albeit not all of them. Note the contributors' names on the SEDS page. | |||
| It seems like http://www.seds.org was generally copied to create a lot of the clusters, nebulae, and galaxies pages on Misplaced Pages. I wonder if the SEDS people themselves helped to create the Misplaced Pages entries or if someone simply plagarized the material wholesale. | |||
| Alas, the SEDS website is not the only source of bad astronomy names. I see that you have already encountered the "]" and the "]". I also dislike the names "Bode's Galaxy" and "Cigar Galaxy" being used for ] and ], and I may attempt to move both of those pages in the future.] 18:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for those links. I recognize at least one of the contributors on the first link as the now banned Misplaced Pages user (look at the vacuum cleaner galaxy for the name).

| ==Deletions== | |||
| I am trying to remain level-headed here. What can I say, which has not already been said. Please refrain from deleting large portions of text from ]. You have never contributed a single word to this article. Your only contribution thus far has been to start a AfD and delete large sections. If you do not find these particular examples to be terrorism, find sources which back up your POV, otherwise a revert war will start. I do not want a revert war, and I have attempted to do everything to stop this. ] (]) 00:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I expect the implication of vandalism on my part to be removed from this message forthwith or I will take this further.--] 01:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::You lost the ], now you continue to delete large portions of the article. You have contributed zero, zelch, nada, nothing to this article. Your only contributions involve large deletions. You also continue to ignore my questions on the talk page. Lets use wikipolicy the way you use wikipolicy: '''Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change to content, made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia.''' Further: '''Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Misplaced Pages. For example, adding a personal opinion once is not vandalism — it's just not helpful, and should be removed or restated.''' The key word is '''good faith'''. There has been no good faith effort for you to improve this article. None. You have added nothing to this article. Have you even added a tag, other than the AfD tag? You lost the AfD, now you will lose this edit war, because your deletions are contrary to everything that wikipedia stands for. You have added nothing. I already have requested that the page be protected, have been attempting to negotiate where this article will go in the future, have ask real conservative editors to join in editing, and will shortly request a mediator. You lost the AfD, no amount of deletions will change this. The article will stay, and it will grow. You are an impedement to the articles progress, you are attempting to delete the article section by section, since you lost the AfD, this is not good faith. Your inability to work to build consensus has led to this state we find ourselves in. ] (]) 02:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Suggestions to help== | |||
| I noticed your edits to admins. I wrote the following in response on these two pages: | |||
| :Hi admin, sorry to drag you into this. This users request was ignored by everyone but ] on ], who recommended a RfC, which I have started. I also started mediation, and ask two other mediators I worked with before to mediate the article. | |||
| :], If you feel that I have treated you unfairly, and you need support, I strongly suggest an advocate , they have helped me and others before: ]. You can also e-mail those who share your POV on the disputed page and work on strategies to counter my work. You are not alone on wikipedia. | |||
| :Sorry again admin for bothering you.] (]) 02:13, 18 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Resolution== | |||
| There is truly nothing that we could do to resolve this, is there? Maybe I shouldn't have been so agressive on the AfD. It probably caused a lot of hard feelings. I hestitate about how much to say to you, because at this point, I worry that anything I say will somehow be used against me, but here it goes: | |||
| I have worked on a lot of articles which have been deleted by people who have a certain ideology. My ideology is shuned and hated by a majority of editors, especially American editors. I have learned to fight back, with the same tricks that administrators and veternan wikipedians use: wikipedia policy. I have also learned how to out reference my opponents. Why, because the only way my hated POV will stay on wikipedia is if it is exhastively referenced. I have learned this the hard way. Even articles which I wrote in which every sentence is referenced get deleted, by editors who use the same tactics as you and others have used. | |||
| I used to be a patriotic American, like most Americans here, except I saw 9/11 in Ukraine, and had Arab friends. I could not understand why they hated us so much, so I began to study. And long story: here I am, with a hated ideology. | |||
| I think that once this article's inflammatory name is changed, which is causing a lot of problems, I think there is room for both of our views on this page. A good majority of the world hate America. There are reasons for this, documented, verifiable reasons, which I feel belong on wikipedia. You may disagree. I welcome this disagreement, and welcome your contributions to the article. Like I mentioned, I invited another conservative editor to edit this page. ] is the best conservative editor on wikipedia, because he verifies every word he says. He has a strong POV like me, but I respect how he uses this POV: instead of simply deleting sections of articles ''(although he does delete whole referenced sections occasionally--which has caused a lot of bad feelings from me),'' he researches the topic and becomes the most knowlegable person on the subject on wikipedia. It is terrifying to go up against him, and we have had some real big fights. I noticed in your edits that you have done a lot of astronomy articles, but few political articles. Political articles are more emotionally intense and harder to edit. If you come away from this experience with anything, let me give you one word: Research, research, research. I have gone up against the most fearsome conservative editors and out researched them and won major conssesions, time after time. | |||
| I don't know. I feel bad that you are reaching out for help and no one is helping. I am a third year law student and have argued thousands of hours on political pages for years, I spend more time debating subjects on the internet than doing anything else. As I mentioned, I have gone up against the most fearsome conservative editors and out researched them and won major conssesions, time after time. So don't feel bad about how I use your words against you, use wikipedia policy against you, and ultimatly get you angry. My political views and my thirst for knowledge, and my interest in politics, have made me to be this way. I know that sounds arrogant, sorry if it does. I just want to say: don't let my debate tactics get you down. I have managed to piss off everyone on wikipedia, conservative and liberal alike, you haven't been singled out. Just write me off as an asshole. I have found that people I don't get along with, usually everyone else doesn't get along with them for the same reason. | |||
| Anyway, is there anyway I can get you to stop deleting large parts of the article? I admit readily it is POV. I want your help in making it less POV. | |||
| I work hard in making my edits excellent and exhastively researched, and it really hurts my feelings when someone deletes all of my hard work. Every law student has to write a paper to graduate. I did mine on Colombia. Every word had to be researched and backed up. In a 50 page article, 25 pages were footnotes, my article had over 200 footnotes. I write wikiarticles like I wrote my law school paper. Everytime someone deletes large portions of wikiarticles I helped write, it is like someone threw away my law school paper, saying, "this is garbage". I know wikipedia policy, that every word can be edited, but this doesn't help how I feel. | |||
| Once during a AfD on one of my new articles, which started in the middle of me writing the article, I wrote that I felt like I was in a warm bath and someone had dragged me out and beat me. One asshole responded that wikipedia is not a warm bath. No shit sherlock. I was simply attempting to explain how frustrating my experience was, and this user, basically said: fuck you, I don't care. I hope after writing this you simply don't say "fuck you I don't care". I don't expect you to agree with anything I write or believe, but I simply ask for understanding and respect of were I am coming from. | |||
| Anyway, sorry so long.02:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
