Dear Loosmark, thank you for nominating yourself as a candidate in the ]. On behalf of the coordinators, allow me to welcome you to the election and make a few suggestions to help you get set up. By now, you ought to have written your ]{{#ifexist:Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Loosmark/Statement|<!-- exists -->| ()}}, which should be no more than 400 words and declare any alternate or former user accounts you have contributed under (or, in the case of privacy concerns, a declaration that you have disclosed them to the Arbitration Committee). Although there are no fixed guidelines for how to write a statement, note that many candidates treat this as an opportunity, in their own way, to put a cogent case as to why editors should vote for them—highlighting the strengths they would bring to the job, and convincing the community they would cope with the workload and responsibilities of being an arbitrator. | |||

Hi. Best of luck in your upcoming trial by fire. As in ] ] I have a ] I ask candidates. This year there are restrictions on the length and number of questions on the "official" page for questions, restrictions which I do not agree with, but which I will abide by. I nevertheless think my questions are important and relevant (and I am not the only person to think so, in previous years they have drawn favorable comment from many, including in at least one case indepth analysis of candidates answers to them by third parties). You are invited to answer them if you so choose. I suggest that the talk page of your questions page is a good place to put them and I will do so with your acquiescence (for example, SirFozzie's ] already has them as do the majority of other candidates). Your answers, (or non-answers should you decide not to answer them), that will be a factor in ] of your candidacy. Please let me know as soon as practical what your wish is. Thanks and best of luck.

::Again, nearly there. There was some confusion a couple of years back regarding the whole team vs. entrant policy. Using "entrant" with the full name avoids confusion and accurately represents period records. There are quite a few older tables (unfortunately one that DH pointed you to) which use the "team" formulation. However, if you check all the cars from the last two years you will see that they use "entrant". ''']]''' 12:58, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Questions and Answers == | |||
:::::It was the official entrant name that year, as recorded in the FIA entry list and on all official results transcripts. That's what the title sponsor pays their money for, they are an official part of the team identity. Some time the whole team name changes (e.g. Arrows became Footwork, FWRC became ISO Marlboro, and so on), and sometimes it is only a portion of the name that changes. Rather than having to descend into the POV realms of "where do we draw the line" we just use the official entry name in all cases. ''']]''' 14:09, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

::::::: I think we should use McLaren per ]. ] 14:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Blocked == | |||
::::::::WP:CommonNane refers to article titles and casual mentions in the body text, not to statistics recorded in tables. The problem we have is that the term "team" is a relatively modern introduction into F1 in an official sense. Prior to 1980 "team" could refer to one of a number of entities, including the group of people who actually maintained the car at the race, the person or corporate entity that held the entrant's licence, the person who actually paid for the entry into the race, the manufacturer of the car, and so on. Even since 1980 we have had "teams" changing identity and flying under flags of convenience as sponsorship money ebbed and flowed. For example, you can certainly argue that Layton House was actually the March "team" underneath the island blue paint, and that Footwork was Arrows all along, but it depends how you interpret the concept of a "team". In addition, some "teams" actually changed identity over a period of time; where would you draw the line between Frank Williams Racing Cars and Walter Wolf Racing? Anything that is open to interpretation and a non-neutral POV inherently becomes tricky to deal with in WP. Entrant is an unambiguous and officially recorded fact. Using that also allows us to accurately reflect how the cars were run in period. It is because of this complexity that we also use "entrant" as the field in the driver results tables.

I'm writing this here because this discussion probably isn't appropriate for the article's talk page. I do understand the irony that while Polish nationalism included antisemtism at its core while Ukrainian did not, Ukrainian nationalists killed more Jews than Polish nationalists did. The reason was historical - Ukrainian nationalists for time worked for the Germans while Polish ones did not. Let me make an analogy: if the price for Poland to be free of both Nazis and Soviets were to hand over all Polish gypsies to Romania for extermination, would that be proof that Polish nationalists were anti-gypsy if they agreed to do so? No, it would mean that they were immoral and ruthless and willing to do twerribel things for the sake of their goal but '''not''' that anti-gypsy beliefs were a core aspect of their ideology. Similarly, the OUN's participation in crimes against Jews does not prove that their movement had antisemitism at its core. It only proves that they were immoral and ruthless and willing to do terrible things for the ake of their goal. I hope that clarifies what Himka and others were trying to say when they documented Ukrainian nationalist crimes.] (]) 14:08, 16 March 2010 (UTC) | |||

Loosmark, you may wish to consider creating a personal sandbox. You can work an article up there and get it into reasonable shape in peace. When it is ready you can simply copy/paste the sandbox article into the new title. A well developed article is much less likely to get a CSD tag, and should probably escape an AfD too. ] (]) 18:42, 21 March 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Yes, but once released into mainspace, other editors <s>can rip the article to shreds too</s> have a chance to expand and improve the article, correct any minor errors and typos etc. The better developed an article is when released the less chance of a CSD or AfD. ] (]) 18:59, 21 March 2010 (UTC) | |||

== A New Issue == | |||
I wanted to let you know I am largely in agreement with your remarks here , not completely mind you, but I do believe our frequently at odds interaction does improve Misplaced Pages. Some of us go back a long way on these talk pages, and we do not need outside referees who haven't the foggiest idea about the history and culture of many of the subjects we are dealing with. Same goes for inside referees. Sometimes they over do it. Furthermore, I have a thick enough skin to handle a jab or two from everyone who throws one my way. Which is why I have always decried any form of censorship at this project. When someone has a POV that disagrees with my own, I have several ways to handle it. Ignore it, laugh it off, or debate it and try to change that other person's POV. But by no means try to censor it. Truthfully, Kotniski removing everyone's comments at the thread going on at the Chopin talk page really stunk. It's way too pompous that he should take upon himself the role of wise old ] or referee and thereby rescue the project from you or from me. Believe me, some of our mutual interaction and commentary is wimpy and mild, compared to the fireworks I've read elsewhere on the Misplaced Pages talk pages. If Kotniski is unhappy with some of the goings on at a particular thread at a talk page, he can move on to another thread or another talk page. His actions were completely unwarranted and would set a very bad precedent in our neck of the woods if they are allowed to go unchallenged. ] (]) 01:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Nordschliefe Lap times == | |||
Thanks for the heads up. | |||
As a matter of interest if it were any other cicuit I'd probably agree with you. Take for instance Brands Hatch which is near me as a comparison. Both ciruits have had a similar number of grand prix, have equally long histories and so on. I have never once seen Brands Hatch used as a yardstick for car performance though, whereas that happens all the time now for the ring, thus I wouldnt consider a need for an article on Brands times. Like 0-60 and top speed the ring laptime for cars is being used as a yardstick by which performance of a car is measured and compared and for promotional purposes by the motoring media and car manufacturers. As recent examples from Ferrari and from Pistonheads gives you some idea how much weight manufacturers and media respectively give to Ring times. Bear in mind of course that those are just 2 examples from the last couple of weeks, the actual weight of references to ring times now by motoring manufacturers and motoring media is overwhelming. --] (]) 13:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC) | |||
:I agree to a great extent about the PR. Much of it is simple PR. But the very fact they are using it as a PR means it is notable. The general rule for times is that the car is unmodified (excepting safety gear and timing equipment) and road legal. Some manufacturers such as Radical emphasize legality by driving their cars to and from the track when setting times, others such as Ferrari with the 599xx will note obtusely that the care was not road legal. Most look to add weight to their claims by having their cars and times independantly verified by independant observers such as Sport Auto or Evo. For most times it is pretty safe to ignore track conditions as no manufacturer or press will try and set a time in less than ideal conditions as a) they wont set a decent time and b) they are likely to crash trying. What prevents them doctoring their cars? Further independant testing. If a manufacturer claims to have done a 7 minute lap and no independant tester can get round in under 8 in obstensibly the same car they will get a lot of bad press. Questions about such a doctoring were raised about the Nissan GTR for example. As ever manufacters claims vary much more in their reliability than independant tests. Furthermore many tests are standardised as much as possible by testers such as Sport Auto. In all cases of course manufacturers claims are noted as such and indepnedantly verified times are noted as such. While I certainly agree that not all times are directly comparable that in no way deflects from the notability of the subject. --] (]) 14:29, 25 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

I was a little disheartened by your participation here. As a result of your comments made at the AE request, I feel the need to ask you a question or two.

::I was a little busy getting my boat up north out of Chicago (couldn't decide whether to go to ] or ]), plus the ] took up some of my time. ] Then you too have been busy here and here . Anyway, as I mentioned I was a little disheartened by your participation here. As a result of your comments made at the AE request I wanted to explain to you that I'm truly at a disadvantage at these proceedings. The main reason for that is that I find them to be childish and a waste of time. There are enough mind games played at the talk pages of some of the articles that we interact at (sometimes agreeing, sometimes disagreeing), that the last last thing I need to do is run to some forum and look for some type of succor to assuage my bruised ego. I have a thicker skin than that. I do not plan to file this type of complaint now or in the future. Which is why I'm placed in a disadvantage. I simply do not believe in the suppression of free speech, free thought, or a frank expression of ones beliefs. I do draw the line at a bona fide personal attack (especially one that is obscene), but I'll leave it to you or others to make that call and run to ArbCom when you feel that it is paramount to do so. I'd be interested in your viewpoint concerning the matter. Thanks. ] (]) 02:25, 11 June 2010 (UTC) | |||

What puzzles me is your uncertainty about what I'm asking you about. While it's good to know that "in general" you say you're in favor of free speech, don't you think your remark at my AE is strange, particularly "''I find it interesting that Skapperod, Varsovian and Deacon of Pndapetzim, all known for countless disputes with Polish editors in the past, all came here trying to get Dan off the hook...''"? Yet, somehow you don't find your perennial appearances, taking sides, at such venues to be unusual, let alone "interesting".

Let's just say that if somebody will ever call you "a disgraced user" be sure that my voice won't be silent and I will take your defense. Although come to think of it, your voice was always silent when personal attacks were made against myself a couple of months ago.

::No private jet. Please calm down. Response to what? How about this ? While you obviously cannot control what is placed on your talk page, maybe you should ask yourself why this ] thought that you were a receptive candidate to hear his opinion about me, that I was a "f-----g troll", etc. Better still, why didn't you object or ask that person not to post such garbage on your talk page?

::::Sorry to pursue this, but I asked you to calm down because your snide remark concerning yachts and jets made me think you were agitated by my good fortune. If I was mistaken, my apologies, but not for my good fortune. As for my remarks that brought on the AE, well, they were judged to be uncivil, but I dare say not untrue. Was thinking about contacting ] through a ] for a third opinion concerning their incivility. Didn't know you could play Chopin (perhaps it was on a ]), I also play Chopin, but on one of my three pianos. Hopefully it wasn't a mistake on my part and you can also play Chopin on the piano, and that you play very well. When Chopin is played poorly, it becomes very comical. Therefore I wonder if "I listened to a beautiful Chopin snota" would have been more appropriate than your stating that you "finished playing a beautiful Chopin sonata". Probably it's not the same as your recently obtaining a ], but you still never did tell me what your degree was in. As for the three month old difference, it is a long time ago and that sufficiently explains why you "don't remember". Have a nice day and happy editing as well. ] (]) 02:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC) | |||

I was simply curious if you indeed had doctorate in something. That's all. A simple friendly question which you continually rebuff and evade. As you wish. More importantly, I think it's more telling that your memory concerning my piano skills is somehow better than your memory concerning obscene personal attacks against me on your own user talk page and not reporting them or objecting to them. Strangely you have a lapse of memory here and say "I don't remember why" and that the "diff" was "more than 3 months ago". Well, both posts (the obscene one and the piano template) were in March and only a day apart. That discrepancy, and related comments by you concern me much more than whether "the Admins" won't like this discussion because again ] (sic)". Personally I doubt that "the Admins" really give a hoot about our present interaction here. We're still not being watched by the ] or someone else from "Oceania", are we? Besides, if you remember, I began this thread with asking your permission to delve into your participation at my AE, and related matters. I think you've explained yourself sufficiently to me and anyone else who's interested.

You are free to ask questions here:
Welcome to the elections!
Dear Loosmark, thank you for nominating yourself as a candidate in the 2010 Arbitration Committee elections. On behalf of the coordinators, allow me to welcome you to the election and make a few suggestions to help you get set up. By now, you ought to have written your nomination statement, which should be no more than 400 words and declare any alternate or former user accounts you have contributed under (or, in the case of privacy concerns, a declaration that you have disclosed them to the Arbitration Committee). Although there are no fixed guidelines for how to write a statement, note that many candidates treat this as an opportunity, in their own way, to put a cogent case as to why editors should vote for them—highlighting the strengths they would bring to the job, and convincing the community they would cope with the workload and responsibilities of being an arbitrator.
You should at this point have your own questions subpage; feel free to begin answering the questions as you please. Together, the nomination statement and questions subpage should be transcluded to your candidate profile, whose talkpage will serve as the central location for discussion of your candidacy. If you experience any difficulty setting up these pages, please follow the links in the footer below. If you need assistance, on this or any other matter (including objectionable questions or commentary by others on your candidate pages), please notify the coordinators at their talkpage. If you have followed these instructions correctly, congratulations, you are now officially a candidate for the Arbitration Committee. Good luck! Skomorokh 12:15, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Arbitration Committee Election 2019 candidate: Loosmark

Request
Loosmark, your disclosure on other accounts in your nomination statement currently reads "I have no alternative accounts." Could you amend this to indicate whether or not you have ever edited from another account? I am asking all candidates to ensure that their disclosures are full and categorical. Thanks, Skomorokh 13:58, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Do you mean another account as in from somebody's else account? Obviously no, I have only ever edited under Loosmark account. Dr. Loosmark 14:10, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Some editors had prior accounts which they abandoned for whatever reason. If you could just add the above claim " I have only ever edited under Loosmark account" to your nomination statement that would be perfect. Sorry for the bother, Skomorokh 14:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- np, i will add that to my statement. Dr. Loosmark 14:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Great, thanks Loosmark. Skomorokh 14:25, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure "try to make wikipedia a nicer place for content creators by desyoping some d*ckhead admins who are here merely to play the "wikipedia game"." is entirely appropriate. May I politely request that you tone that down or remove it altogether from your statement? (For starters, arbs can't just desysop whoever they want, but calling people dickheads is not civil.) /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 17:45, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- I never said the Arbs can desyop whoever they want, however if an admins starts to create trouble and drama on regular basis he needs to be deysoped. But fine, I will try to tone done my statement in accordance to the wikipedia civility standard. Dr. Loosmark 17:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 17:58, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Questions from Lar
Hi. Best of luck in your upcoming trial by fire. As in previous years I have a series of questions I ask candidates. This year there are restrictions on the length and number of questions on the "official" page for questions, restrictions which I do not agree with, but which I will abide by. I nevertheless think my questions are important and relevant (and I am not the only person to think so, in previous years they have drawn favorable comment from many, including in at least one case indepth analysis of candidates answers to them by third parties). You are invited to answer them if you so choose. I suggest that the talk page of your questions page is a good place to put them and I will do so with your acquiescence (for example, SirFozzie's page already has them as do the majority of other candidates). Your answers, (or non-answers should you decide not to answer them), that will be a factor in my evaluation of your candidacy. Please let me know as soon as practical what your wish is. Thanks and best of luck. (please answer here, I'll see it, and it keeps things together better) ++Lar: t/c 18:30, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- The talk page of my questions page is fine. Dr. Loosmark 20:30, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Added there. ++Lar: t/c 22:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Questions and Answers
Thank you for answering my questions so promptly. I was partly prompted by the work I did on the use of historical sources Franco-Mongol Alliance case, which was private at the time but was subsequently disclosed: Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration/Franco-Mongol alliance#Report on use of sources. Good luck in the elections. Sam Blacketer (talk) 21:21, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for abusing multiple accounts. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

Loosmark (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I have not abused multiple account. I request who "informed" the checkusers about alleged "irregularities" in my editing is disclosed.
Decline reason:
Checkuser evidence very conclusively shows that you have used several dozen accounts. In addition to the technical evidence, the concerns we were presented with brought to light a number of behavioral similarities, which we felt were unusual enough to merit a closer investigation. As for who brought this to our attention, that is not relevant to any appeal, nor is there any reason you should be told. Hersfold 22:12, 28 November 2010 (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.
- Here is the list. That is a lot of sockpuppets. In what way do you think that operating that many accounts is not an abuse of multiple accounts? What is the legitimate reason that you think you have for using so many accounts? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:00, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
One year
Loosmark, I have blocked your account for a full year as a matter of arbitration enforcement under WP:DIGWUREN discretionary sanctions. You've been socking to evade a six month topic ban. The matter is further compounded by deception in the candidate statement where you did not declare any of these 40+ socks. So we have WP:SOCK, WP:DIGWUREN and WP:GAME violations of a very serious nature. Jehochman 22:16, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- He's got enough blocks for a WP:ABUSE report if someone cares to file one for his IP. AndrewN 22:53, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
ban
Loosmark, there has been a consensus at AN for a community ban. This means you cannot edit on en.WP under any account without the consent of the community or arbcom. Moreover, you have been blocked for one year, owing to the wildly over the top sock farm you ran in a sanctioned topic area (whilst standing for this year's arbcom election so less). After one year has gone by, if you don't try to edit here or cause any other disruption on Misplaced Pages, the standard offer may be open to you. Gwen Gale (talk) 09:52, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Ok. I will respect the decision of the community, and will not edit wikipedia anymore. I apology to everybody and ask that somebody puts that tag "retired" here. Dr. Loosmark 11:08, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- No, you do not get {{retired}}, you got {{Banned user}} && {{sockpuppeteer}}. Jack Merridew 19:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
