== Saturday: NYC Art And Feminism Misplaced Pages Editathon ==
::I was led to believe that it was against the spirit of wikipedia (if not official rules) for an editor to insert links to his own websites, articles, etc because it was a conflict of interest - i.e. it is near impossible for him to be neutral enough to decide whether or not the material should be included. Xiaodingjin is the author of the pdf file on the link over which he was banned for edit-warring. Maybe if you're not sure you could consult with some other admins who might know more about this? ] 20:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
::Ok. I had other objections to the link, but not in terms of Xiao's reverts. If you need to know, he is a student from St Andrews University, so may also be using this IP - 138.251.95.1. ] 21:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you need to review the definition of "punitive". Any block, for any reason, is indeed punitive: punitive simply means "serving for, concerned with, or inflicting punishment". It is not necessarily a negative term.

:When I said "punitive", I meant exactly what I said. The IP sporadically edits, and the only justification for a block would be to prevent the IP from editing the Common Cause article. They have not violated any Misplaced Pages rules by editing, and that's why the block would go against policy and be therefore deemed "punitive". Perhaps if you had read ], you'd know that the IP had not violated policy at all, and no block would ever be placed on the user. FYI, blocks on Misplaced Pages are "preventative", not "punitive". That's the whole point of blocking users. It's not to punish them, but to prevent them from continuing to violate policy. Also, please remember to be ] with other users. Getting angry at other users is not going to do you any good. Also, as I said earlier, read ], because your report was clearly not a 3RR violation. You provided diffs of reverts made over the course of a month and a half. 3RR only applies to a 24-hour period. ''']]''' 15:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not angry at you at all, I'm merely correcting you. Correction does not equate anger or negativity. You '''did''' misuse "punitive", and still are. I would still contend that any action taken which limits a person's ability to edit is punitive, whether you want to call it that or not. Punitive is not a pejorative, there's no reason not to call it that. Also, for something to be "preventative", you would have to stop it from happening. If you block someone after they commit certain actions, that's not preventative. Furthermore, it's a mystery to me why damaging articles is OK if done over a long period of time but not OK over a shorter period of time, but that's another discussion for another place. <font size=2>''']''' </font>| <font size=1>]</font> 17:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

:Well, I don't believe that is the right correction. See ]. The second line says, "Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Misplaced Pages and should not be used as a punitive measure." That's a term that has been used on Misplaced Pages many times, and it is an essential part of the blocking policy. Perhaps I should have pointed out the policy page earlier to you.

::If I can jump in, Nishkid64 is using "punitive" correctly as the term is customarily used in this type of discussion, though that might not equate exactly to how "punishment" is understood in other contexts. Perhaps "punitive ''only''" (that is, not serving any purpose ''other'' being punitive) would be a clearer usage. ] 18:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
|-
:::It's not so much a matter of how things are understood as it is how they are ''defined''. The fact is that Misplaced Pages policy is using it incorrectly and Nish is following along with that - both are incorrect. Any restriction taken in response to an action is punitive rather than preventative according to the definition of both words. If someone is being blocked as a reaction to what they've done, it's punitive, whether Misplaced Pages wants to call it that or not - and why they have a problem calling it that is beyond me. I've never considered the word a pejorative. The fact is that most punishments are both punitive and preventative; it's pretty difficult to have one that's solely one or the other. <font size=2>''']''' </font>| <font size=1>]</font> 19:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking action on the Joji Obara article. Only problem is, there IS more or less a consensus on the talk page, against the edits made by ], ] and a few anonymous Japanese users.

: Thanks, but... DDRG does not WANT the page to be unlocked. It's locked at the version he has kept reverting too.

I'm a little concerned with my first entry. It was "immediately deleted" at first. Which really is confusing, since a computer cannot readily determine "importance".


== Welcome to the Months of African Cinema Global Contest! ==
Although the article was short in nature, it should in no way reflect the "unimportance". When, at the directions of the system, I used the "hangon" tag, it was shortly dismissed as "inappropriate".


{{Ivmbox|]
Now I'm really confused. An article about a local Amateur Radio charitable organization should not be ever classified as "inappropriate", as I'm confident that there are other organizations such as the ARRL, Red Cross, and so forth who accomplish similar community services on a larger scale, and are promptly reported in the database.
Greetings!

The following prizes would be recognized at the end of the contest:
::There are notability guidelines for articles on Misplaced Pages. They must meet those guidelines, or they will be subject to speedy deletion. Your article seems to be a local amateur radio club that has no real notability in a larger sense, and that's why it was open for speedy deletion. If you can show me as to why it is notable, then I will undelete the article and keep it here on Misplaced Pages. Judging from the ] article, I don't see how some other amateur radio organizations have their own articles, since they appear to be non-notable. Anyway, just show me links demonstrating the notability of the club, and I'll possibly reconsider my decision. ''']]''' 20:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that you perm banned this user? I think it is a bit hasty. He is a new user and is not familiar with the rules completely. He emailed me with answers to objections John Smith raised and said that he did nto want to answer John Smith directly as he regards him as unreasonable. In anycase, there is a dispute about content pertaining to the link, which he appears to be the author of (this is not established--he could simply have registered under this name), however he is not alone in the edit waring regarding this quite appropriate link containing this noteworthy book review, which has been picked up in the press. Also, there are other anon IP addresses showing up to support John Smith's version, always their first edits and always to support his version, on this article and others. What I propose as a better solution it to lock the article for anon accounts, leaving it open to only already established, registed users. This will take care of a lot of the distrupting influences of these anon IP's (possible meat puppets or socks), which we don't want to block anyway as some are using dynamic school IPs. Thanks.] 22:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
:Xiaodingjin was warned by John Smith's to look at ] policy, and he was also told to discuss his edits instead of just re-inserting his link. He had a good amount of time to read policy and to heed the warnings, but he failed to do so. If you feel the link is appropriate, then you may add it back, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would result in a content dispute later on. ''']]''' 23:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, but that is the problem. Since John Smith told him, he probably did not take him seriously. I think he deserves a second chance, or there should be more of a community consensus about perm banning him. I also think that protecting the article against anon IP's will take care of a lot of the distruptions.] 23:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I'm sorry to hear that you had surgery, and I hope that you have a fast recovery, but I '''really''' need you to ] ]. He is vandalizing, (I caught, reverted, and warned him all 4 or 5 times), and he keeps on giving me barnstars for no reason. Please, can you block him.
