I am concerned about the reason why you blocked ] indefinitely from Misplaced Pages. The account is obviously not a sockpuppet of Jackiekong, since he himself introduced himself as Kong's personal secretary; thus the similarities between their edits and IP addresses. If you note the legal threat, it was more of a good faith request than a threat. The first paragraph certainly made it clear that they simply wished intervention on part of Misplaced Pages. IMO the other threat is more due to ignorance of Misplaced Pages policies than anything else; and so cannot be held against him. Even the last So how and why is he blocked indefinitely blocked from Misplaced Pages? And since I did not understand how it was a BLP violation, it would be good if you clarified that too. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you look at it from retrospect, it looks like this- |
|
|
Mr Kong comes to make an article about himself - He finds it vandalised - He reverts and asks for help - He is blocked. |

:The sockpuppetry allegation was definitely a mistake (I got three sets of edits to the article messed up), but the rationale for blocking was legal threats, and it's difficult not to interpret {{diff|Jackie Kong|528987407|528975066|this edit}} as such. Wstreiff will have to make a clear retraction to get reinstated. The impersonating vandal has been indeffed and the IP sent off for a week. ] (]) 20:10, 20 December 2012 (UTC) |

:: Aren't you obliged to explain the WP position on legal threats before or during your blocking?

== Wikilinking years == |
|
|
|
|
|
Hey Favonian. I was curious: is there a policy on "wikilinking" years? I have noticed that Portuguese Wikipedians tend to overdue this linking, and some users on English Misplaced Pages revert excessive wikilinking of this type. If you could please direct me to an appropriate guideline I would really appreciate it. I recently saw a newbie user from Portuguese[REDACTED] do some editing in a couple of pages I watch, and before I send him a sermon, I wanted to have appropriate justification, if any. If there is no policy, then I will leave him/her to it, and be a little more wiser. Thanks. ] (]) 11:31, 23 December 2012 (UTC) |

Forgive me if I'm in the wrong place. I'm bring this to you for the sole reason that you are an admin. I was surprised to find the page ] recently which is a copy and paste from a userspace draft at ]. Naturally I don't mind that my work was copied, as I was writing the page for the whole purpose of moving it to mainspace, eventually, but it was just a single paragraph. The copy was made by ] and I believe it was a good faith effort to improve wikipedia, but it doesn't fit with some copyright stuff and my ego-driven desire to have my username in the revision history of so many[REDACTED] articles. Can you fix this, or should I just forget about it? - ] <sup>(])</sup> 09:01, 24 December 2012 (UTC) |

== 4 tribes of Bavaria == |

Dear Favonian, I do not understand, what's going on. Bayern.de are official web sites of Bavaria. |
|
|
You shall read corretly. On http://www.bayern.de/History-and-Historic-Figures-.631/index.htm is ni quotation marks only the 4th tribe (Sudeten Germans), because that are refugees after 1945 (so called New Bavarians). |
|
|
Deleting of Saddhiyama was Vandalism (???) and Nazi (???). Deleting of Erikeltic was no comment. |

:It is in fact the ''only'' occurrence of the word "tribe" that is quoted, showing that the authors of the web page don't mean for it to be taken literally. Even if they did, it wouldn't matter. It may be the official website of Bavaria, but it is written by the droids of the state's marketing department. The concept of tribe belongs to history/anthropology/sociology, and for it to be mentioned in the Misplaced Pages article would require a scholarly source, which I think you'll have a hard time locating. Your previous attempts have been reverted by several editors, therefore doing it again without prior consensus on the article talk page will amount to edit warring and lead to you being blocked temporarily from editing. ] (]) 21:20, 26 December 2012 (UTC) |

:: May be the 4th tribe of Bavaria is not tribe in in traditional scientific meaning. But, the 4th tribe of Bavaria is tribe in official/bureaucratic meaning. In detail: The "Fourth Tribe" - A fourth ethnic group, the Sudeten Germans, who constituted the largest number of refugees that made Bavaria their home after 1945, have joined the other three tribes. The Free State took them under its protection. "The Bavarian State Government regards the Sudeten Germans as one of the ethnic tribes of Bavaria", reads the Certificate of Investiture of 5.11.1962. Grateful to their new homeland, the "New Bavarians" have substantially contributed to rebuilding the State after the Second World War. |

Hello Favonian. I was kind of hoping you could clear-up a series of confusing actions at "Castle of São Jorge". One of my colleagues moved this article to "São Jorge Castle", without discussions, and had a change of heart. But, he then compounded the problem by moving the article to "Castle São Jorge". Is it possible for you revert the content back to the old "Castle of São Jorge" title, while maintaining the content? Otherwise, could you direct me to the correct path for resolving this strange turn of events? Appreciate your constant assistance. ] (]) 16:59, 29 December 2012 (UTC) |

::I wish there was something else we could do, enough's enough with this guy. I almost want to propose him for community ban - I know probably wouldn't accomplish much in the short run (and the sensible side of me says it will likely just result in more attacks), but would it at least open up other options to get him to stop (e.g. pursuing ] with his ISP?) ] (]) 02:55, 15 January 2013 (UTC) |

:::I'm pretty sure the possibility of a range block has been considered, but rejected because of the wide spread of the addresses used. Regarding the abuse response option, the way I read it, we need to know the IP addresses involved, and that would require CheckUser privileges. A community ban in itself wouldn't change much: no admin in his right mind will unblock this troll, and no revert of his actions is likely to be challenged, so I guess our preferred course of action is ]. ] (]) 17:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC) |

== Hello there == |

Favonian, I just saw you prevented an edit war in an article. I would like to ask your help, not as an admin necessarily, simply as an editor to come and see what is happening in ] article and add your input. Please do not tell me it is not an article whose subject-matter is not in your area of interest. The sources are there, the Talk Page is there, the "history" of the article is there. You can simply make a few edits, just as you consider correct, to put some fresh energy into something really very simple: To write a short article on a notable person, his life and works. This should not cause "storms" every now and then... Thanks for your possible help. --] (]) 22:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC) |

:Took me a while to parse the triple negative in your message ;) Not sure I care to edit the article, but I have a couple of comments regarding the recent mini edit war: 1) "according to both Turkish Republic and U.S.A public records" is not a ]; 2) a book that is "told to" a writer by the subject of the book is still an autobiography. I'll try and keep an eye on the article, but bedtime is approaching in my time zone. ] (]) 22:36, 13 January 2013 (UTC) |

Hi. I don't know if you're up and about, but the tedious edit-war has resumed at ]. Might another padlocking be in order, until talk-page consensus is reached? ] (]) 12:29, 21 January 2013 (UTC) |

== Personal life of Mehmed II == |
|
|
Recently I had a discussion with ] on the page of ]. |
|
|
The dispute was about the sentence of Mehmed being attracted to both men and women, based on the source on the book of Franz Babinger (Mehmed the Conqueror and his Time), because the sentence presented it as if it was a fact. There was also criticism against this claim so I added that. (the claim is not accepted by Turkish and Ottoman historians). |
|
|
|
|
|
So the sentence was changed to "''Franz Babinger asserted that ....''" |
|
|
It was discussed in the talk page ] |
|
|
|
|
|
After that you protected the page and the dispute was kind of solved. Now, today the protection expired and immediately an anonymous and constantly changing IP is changing the sentence into "''Mehmed was attracted...''" and is presenting it as if it is a fact and he is also deleting that Ottoman historians do not mention it. And also deleting the criticism from Turkish historians. |
|
|
|
|
|
Please could you add a protect from anonymous IPs template? For me this seems the only solution to protect the page from anonymous IPs. Also he personally attacks me by claiming that I am a "Turkish nationalist". ] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore I am planning to expand the entire article with more information, but I am now reluctant because it seems that many anonymous IPs are free to delete everything they don't agree with. |
|
|
Only registered users should be able to edit on this page. |
|
|
:Please consider ] and the ]. And stop reverting sourced content. It was discussed several times and is not meant for nationalist pov.--] (]) 12:54, 21 January 2013 (UTC) |
