| ::I shouldn't worry about it too much. From the look of it, it was the links you were adding for articles on www.closertogod.net, drawing improbable comparisons with Masonic symbols. If you are not associated with closertogod.net, then it probably wasn't technically spam linking. Nevertheless, if you are finding websites that discuss some subject, then looking for articles to add them to - that's a bad idea. Instead, its better to know a subject well, then edit that article and find the one or two most appropriate web sites for that subject. Or indeed not add external links at all - after all Misplaced Pages doesn't really want ''any'' external links. We really want content inside the encyclopedia. -- ] 06:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Oxyman42. While looking into the situation at ] I noticed ] and ] also made edits on the article. Oxyman's name is very similar to yours and edits on similar articles. If this is indeed yourself then take a look at ] and follow the instructions. It might be as well if the other account is not yourself, to inform a checkuser that the other account is not yourself in order to avoid potential future problems. The IP account made a revert edit which could be seen as your account avoiding the three revert rule. As you know, it's bad enough to edit war to the third degree, but it's considered even worse to mask that third degree revert by using a sock puppet account. Taking a quick look at your talk page I see you have previously used a sock puppet and then deleted the information. My inclination now is to report this situation in order to ensure transparency and trust. I'd be interested to hear what you say before I do that, however I may go ahead and report within the next hour if I don't get an immediate response. <span style="border: 1px #F10; background-color:cream;">''']''' *]</span> 13:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| I removed the {{tl|POV}} tag you placed on this category. I could not dertermine what it was you were disputing and it is not really the right tag to be using for categories in any event. You might want to take the category to ] if you believe it needs to be mergered or renamed. If your concerns was over a particular article in the category you should tag the article rather than the category. Maybe {{tl|Category relevant?}} or {{tl|Checkcategory}} would be more in line with your concerns if that is the problem.

| == Please be careful about your tone at ] == | |||
| Hi there Oxyman42. I have been asked to take a look at escalating tensions on the talk page for ]. I was troubled by a few of your edits, and I would like to discuss this. | |||
| First and foremost, I want to say that I agree with you that the article has major problems. It is way too long, it is completely unsourced, many of the claims are dubious, and the tone is generally very ]y. There are editors who are working on the problem, such as ], who has been removing some of the more outlandish claims. Over time, hopefully this article can be repaired, because you are correct that in it's current state, it is not a great article. | |||
| That said, some of the comments you have made on the Talk page are inappropriate, and actually serve to ''hinder'' your cause rather than to help improve the article. For instance, your that Muslims "developed, even if they didn't invent" suicide bombing (which is not only false, but is an unfair generalization, and borders on ethnic stereotyping). | |||
| Another example is where you assert that any of Frotz's improvements to the article will be immediately removed because of some sort of secret organization within ]. First of all, your premise is false -- Frotz's edits have ''not'' been reverted, because he is actually improving the article rather than attacking Islam (see below). Secondly, allegations of a conspiracy never help your case. (You might want to take a look at ], where a user gives his thoughts on this) It is a monumental ] to suggest that other editors changes are driven by a hidden agenda. | |||
| This is all particularly frustrating, because you have grossly misrepresented the edits that were reverted. Frotz's edits are not being reverted because he is addressing the problems with the article, by removing dubious claims and tidying it up. I hate to drag out an old edit from January, but I think is representative of the quality of edits you have been contributing to the article. "o Muslim has contributed to society since the Golden Age"? Are you serious, you think this is a factually correct, ], ] addition to the article??? You should not be surprised that such attacks are reverted. | |||
| In any case, your continued comments at ] are not helpful, and they only make things more difficult for legitimate editors like Frotz to work on the egregious problems with this article. Honestly, if I were you, I would refrain from commenting on a topic that you have such strong emotional feelings about. If you ''must'' comment, then please make sure your tone is more measured and that you do not resort to sweeping generalizations, sarcasm, or allegations of a conspiracy. Thanks, and happy wiki-ing! --] (]) 14:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Underground pics == | |||
| Hi Oxyman, | |||
| I see that you and I have whittled down the ] to a bare five. Do you have any plans to do any of the remainder? I actually took some pics of Northwick Park on Wednesday ''before'' I saw you had uploaded your pics the previous evening! Anyway that station and neighbouring Kenton have a special place in my heart because way back in 1994 when I first went to Uni they were the first stations at the edge of ] that I visited (apart from my base, Newbury Park). But back then I lacked a camera of any kind, let alone digital! best, ] (]) 11:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Nice pics of the stations you visited at the weekend. This morning I took some pics of West Ruislip, South Ruislip and Northolt (and Ruislip Gardens roundel only). However I'm not sure of the adverse weather conditions affected any of them, but I will upload them tonight (South Ruislip Chiltern Rail platforms were taken during a torrential downpour - so not too hopeful about these!). best, ] (]) 11:49, 7 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ::Thanks very much! I actually went back to retake some of the pics I took earlier that day but then the complicating factor was the low sun! Yes there's still a lot of ticks left to insert on the ]. I have been adding to the list steadily. I also like your pics too. I notice you use a far higher resolution than me, I chose 1600 x 1200 since that seems a reasonable size for computer monitors. Generally I aim to take surface and sub-surface station platforms looking up and down, the platform signage, and the exterior. Tube stations at least one tunnel, maybe both, depends how crowded they are! Again without crowing too loudly, it is my aim is to photo all the stations for my own collection (around 80 at last count), but we'll see how it goes. As a side project now I'm back in London I'm also trying to re-enact my travels as a student and take in all the TfL and mainline routes within Zone 4. Well that's my prepaid Oyster, when I feel like splashing out on ticket extensions, I'll expand to Zone 6 (already done West Ruislip tube!). best, ] (]) 10:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| I reverted your edit removing my new text. I don't like to make a revert restoring text, but your revert was so obviously incorrect that I've allowed myself one such revert. I thought, first, of asking you to revert yourself, because I think you really were making a simple mistake. You challenged text with a cn tag, then I changed the text to something new that I thought would not need a cn tag, and ''then you restored the very text that you had objected to.'' This starts to look like a ] violation, I hope that's not the case, that it was simply an oversight. Please do not remove my edit except to replace it with something better. If you think the new text needs a cn tag, then the proper thing to do would have been to add it, not revert. That would not have been edit warring, it would have been adding a new tag to new text, allegedly unsourced and allegedly needing a source. Be careful. Once blocked, your actions will be subjected, typically, to higher scrutiny. It's actually not fair, but that's the way it is. Word to the wise.... --] (]) 20:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

re User:Oxyman24
I have indefinitely blocked the above account as an obvious sockpuppet of yourself. When placing the notice I provided this rationale. If you wish to return to editing the subjects as this account did previously, I suggest that you apply for an unblock of this account with as such reassurances as you feel will provide a basis for unblock. If you create further accounts you are not permitted to edit in areas you have already done so as a now blocked account. Regards. LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
