== ] - Time to back up your words ==

You said :

"If Collect edits tendentiously or disruptively again, I will start a thread at WP:ANI asking for consensus to block him for at least 1 month for disruption. Editors can likewise report disruption either to my talk page or to WP:ANI and cite this RfC close."

And deja vu:

Collect got blocked again: and usual Wiki lawyering. See: ] ''']]''' 22:03, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

:::That was six months ago and I blocked him for it. Why you have titled this thread "Time to back up your words"? ] (]) 22:15, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

::::Responded a bit above. ''']]''' 22:17, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

::I've been waiting for Phoenix_of9 to answer my question. ] (]) 00:49, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

:::I answered it. After your passive aggressive answer (asking me to go through your entire edit history instead of answering a simple question) and refusal to bring this to ANI (like you said you would in RFC), I moved it to ANI myself. I'm not surprised though. You were never neutral. ''']]''' 02:07, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

::::GG you say you have been waiting for Phoenix to answer your question. If the question you refer to is 'Please tell me more about why you have titled this thread "Time to back up your words"' Phoenix already answered it with 'So that you can start that thread at ANI.' In which case it's unhelpful to badger the editor for a reply that you have, in fact, already received. But if you have another question in mind, surely it would help to tell Phoenix which one. I hope this helps. ] (]) 08:07, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::Phoenix did not answer the question. However, I was able to glean the answer (see below). ] (]) 13:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::"...did not answer the question?" Please. Your question to Phoenix ''Please tell me more about why you have titled this thread "Time to back up your words"'' brought this direct answer from Phoenix: ''So that you can start that thread at ANI.'' In ignoring this response, which could not be more clearly a direct answer, and instead substituting Phoenix's separate remark that "you were never neutral", for no better reason, apparently, than that's what you ''thought'' was the reason for the thread's title--again, regardless of what Phoenix very explicitly told you was the reason--you really only feed Phoenix's belief about your neutrality. Which is a pity if you really are neutral. It's disappointing. Oh well, I'll duck out of this discussion now and go for a nice peaceful bike ride by the ocean :~) .] (]) 21:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I think you're mistaken about that (but not about the bike ride). ] (]) 21:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
''You were never neutral.'' That's what I thought you meant, Phoenix, when you titled this thread with the rather badgering "Time to back up your words": You don't think I'm neutral. This is why I asked, then waited for your answer.

Phoenix, do you think Collect's single flight of carelessness in straying from the standing 1rr restriction at ] means he has been editing "tendentiously or disruptively again" as when closing his RfC 8 months ago? ] (]) 11:52, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

:"single flight of carelessness"? The article has a huge red warning sign. Hard to miss. Especially if it wasnt the first time you were editing it. ''']]''' 03:25, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

::As another admin and myself have both told Collect, there are two warnings, one over the edit window and one heading up the talk page. If you think he saw either of them, why do you think he made the edit, knowing he would be blocked straight off? Do you believe he might have been thinking something like, "I'll make the edit anyway and if I get caught and blocked, I'll say I didn't see the warnings and get unblocked."? ] (]) 13:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
::To be accurate, the second warning was placed by Tiptoety after the question was raised . It was placed there as a result of my suggestion that the warning be placed there. Thanks! ] (]) 13:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

:::So there was only one warning at the time, beginning with big red letters, over the edit window. Phoenix, did you know, that when an admin sees the edit window of a protected page, the whole background of the edit window is pink? This was done because too many admins were editing protected articles for content (which they're mostly not allowed to do) without seeing the protection notice over the edit window. It's hard to miss a pink editing window, but it's widely understood here that a warning over over an editing window can indeed be missed, moreover with all the wiki-wide banners and stuff which can show up at the top of a page and which most editors learn to "go blind" to. I think it was careless of you, Collect, not to see it, but one can understand how this could happen.

:::Phoenix, if you think he saw that warning, why do you think he made the edit, knowing he would be blocked straight off? Do you believe he might have been thinking something like, "I'll make the edit anyway and if I get caught and blocked, I'll say I didn't see the warning and get unblocked."? ] (]) 14:08, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

::::I have to go thru his edit history to see if the rest of his problematic behaviour has ceased but I dont have the time right now. ''']]''' 05:36, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

:::::Ok, if you find a string of diffs showing disruption and/or tendentious editing in the last month or two, you're welcome to post them here for me to look at. ] (]) 14:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

::::::Is this a personal attack? He implies I have something to do with harassing emails (ie: "One of his friends") he was talking about here . Harassing emails are a serious (and possibly criminal) offense. ''']]''' 23:30, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

:::::::I don't recall Collect telling me anything meaningful about harassing emails, did I miss or forget something, Collect? I would say that claiming someone, who has sent what he calls "harassing" emails, is your "friend" could be taken as a personal attack, since ''friend'' has sundry meanings online. What can either of you tell me about all this? ] (]) 15:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::::I sent you the emails a while back. I believe you have sufficient information thereon. The parties have a number of intersections online, and unless you now wish me to make an open charge of harassment against that other editor, with all that entails, I think that my comment to a third party was as neutral as humanly possible. Be assured that I did ''not'' intend to indicate that the two are "personal friends" in any other manner at all. Thanks! ] (]) 16:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::When did you send me the emails? ] (]) 16:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::November. ] (]) 17:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::I guess that rings a bell. Can you please give me the date in November? Also, why are you posting about those emails now? ] (]) 17:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::::You asked me not to post details at the time. The mention Pof9 found in his search was in an aside, and was not anything for Pof9 to reasonably take umbrage at. I am not naming the other party in the belief that he has been more-or-less quiet for two months now. You will note, however, that Buster7 and I are at peace, and Ikip made as much an apology as he has ever made. To every thing there is a season, and this is the season to lay all this "stuff" to rest. ] (]) 21:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok, wonderful, so stop trying to link Phoenix_of9 with old harassing emails, for starters. Meanwhile, I didn't ask you to post details this time either, I asked you for the date you told me about them. ] (]) 21:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
:I did ''not'' link him to the emails at all, and the dates were from 5 November through 21 November. You did not appear to react to them at all. ] (]) 23:04, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

::'''' links him to the emails. I got four emails from you, on 11, 19 and 21 November. Only one copied an email, from ], sent to you through the en.Misplaced Pages email system. It's a very mild taunt and as a one-off, could hardly be taken as harassment. Another email carried only . Another said he had made "four contacts" with you (not "four harassing emails" or even "four emails"). I replied to three of the four emails you sent me. Has anything having to do with those contacts happened since late November? ] (]) 23:22, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
:::Copies of emails were sent on 12 Nov and 21 November. I fear you mislaid the second? I had basically zero edit conflicts with him - ever. Why he is this tenacious, I know not. ] (]) 00:08, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Please answer my question: Why are you bringing these up again after three months? ] (]) 00:22, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::I did not "bring these up again" - the aside was ''after'' another comment by the other editor. I did not mention who the person sending the emails was, only that I had brought them to your atention. Period. I accused Pof9 of nothing whatsoever, and if he thinks I accused him, ''I willingly apologize for that perception.'' It was, moreover, not intended as anything more than an aside. Cheers. ] (]) 00:31, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I clearly now see why you deleted this page.

There is a need for consistency here. The children are named in the current version of the article and elsewhere on the talk page.

::I don't know the names on the birth certificates, but most of the argument seems to be about the spelling of Starlit/Starlite/Starlet. The real issue is whether the names should be in the article at all, and the consensus of the US media is not to give the names. It seems that the children have been given new identities anyway, since anyone with access to the Internet can find the names very quickly. Personally I would favour giving the names with some reliable sourcing, since the information is in the public domain.--'''''] <sup>]</sup>''''' 21:55, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

He's not working within the process at all and this makes it difficult for everybody else to have input.

On the edit war/reverting 3RR thing.

:That wouldn't be ]. Not using the talk page, in itself, doesn't mean much of anything. If an article or topic area is under probation and/or this kind of reverting keeps up for some time, it ''might'' be taken as ] or ] and then, a lack of talk page posts could have something to do with it, but without seeing the edits, I can't say whether what you're asking about is worrisome. ] (]) 02:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
