== Egyptian Navy Ensign ==


{{Monopoly board layout
I think there was a mistake in reverting back to the Egyptian Navy unofficial flag. I see you said that the one I made has no reliable resources. Have you checked the file description page? The ensign you reverted the page back to has no existence whatsoever in Egypt. It's completely made up. I added a link to an image where the 4 flags of the Egyptian Armed Forces are next to each other and you can see the navy flag. you can also google it or search for any other photo for an armed forces commander. <br />

You had directly contorted what another user said noting against it. Yet spoke to them in the very same manner. This in inappropriate conduct and standards. I did not change what you meant in any way considering what you linked. Only negated the personal snip at that user. Try to shy away from those when doing talk page edits. We are all a community.

== I need your help ==
Your original message : Hello, I'm Toddy1. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Muawiyah I seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Toddy1 (talk) 06:42, 28 July 2013 (UTC)


Hi @],
Yet: The user made no real mention or length of discussion on what they did. So the designation to deem it 'less than neutral' is questionable. Maybe they needed to cite it, though there was nothing applicable to state your mention. And you acted in a manner you stated the other user should not act in. You acted less neutral to their edit. When it was just a basic edit, then stated "Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and and so is not a useful place for you to express your point of view". I would say this falls into : http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:TALKNO#Behavior_that_is_unacceptable Do not associate someones behavior wrongly , ask them to cite instead.<small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 22:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Re: ANI ==

Toddy, do your goddamn homework. I'm assuming good faith and taking it that you don't speak Japanese and so "Jimmu" and "Jingū" look the same to you, but those two RMs went the opposite way. The latter one saw the IP as the ONLY one opposing, while the former had no relevance whatsoever to the thread in question. If you think Enkyo2 shouldn't be indefinitely blocked for continuing to post bizarre moon-speak on talk pages and making revenge edits after he has already been warned about it in two separate arbitration cases, then please bring it up in the relevant thread. ] (<small>]]</small>) 10:14, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

:The question at ANI is not one of how to transliterate Japanese into English.

:The question is one of conduct (behaviour). You made a complaint about the conduct of another editor. This is what is being discussed.--] (]) 12:35, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

::What the fuck is your problem you goddamn idiot!? I have explained to you numerous times now that the Jimmu RM and the Jingū RM were two completely different issues! Why do you persist in linking to the Jimmu RM and calling it the Jingū RM!? You brought the Jimmu RM into the discussion completely out of nowhere, apparently so you could use it as an excuse to canvas Enkyo2, and claimed it as evidence that "Jingū RM was opposed by the overwhelming majority of participants": the result was actually in favour of the move, with the only oppose !vote being the anon in question, who only opposed because he didn't read the RM properly. ] (<small>]]</small>) 13:24, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

There's probably no way back for you after solely because your intense and unjustified hatred of me. ] to try that got himself banned pretty quickly. ] (<small>]]</small>) 14:16, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

==Email communications with blocked users==
at the latest JoshuSasori SPI. This is before the blocking so I'm assuming Good Faith and that you had no inkling the two JoshuSasori puppets were the same person, or that JoshuSasori had made (and carried out) real life threats against Hijiri88 (not that I approve of the bad language, but if you or I had had real life harrassment and Hijiri88 was defending the person, maybe we'd be using bad language too.

Also for reference WP:SPI advises ''against'' notifying suspected socks, I am told that this is partly because an alerted sock may take traces to cover/confuse tracks before an admin can look at it.

Enjoy your editing. Cheers. ] (]) 00:24, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

:I have little idea who ''JoshuSasori'' is.

:Did you bother to read my posts on ]? If you had, you would have understood that I had a very strong inkling that the two sock-puppets were the same person - though I guessed wrongly as to whom they were a sock puppet of.

:I received two Misplaced Pages emails from Edgarwang. As this was a user I had had no previous contact with I was very suspicious. His/her contributions record also aroused suspicion, as his/her first edit to Misplaced Pages showed knowledge of various hard-to-understand templates, etc. The first email said "Greetings, how are you doing?" I thought that the most likely purpose of the email was to find out my IP address, so I replied on the user's talk page. After I received a second email from the same editor giving me this IP link I made this posting on the SPI report. I did not send an email to this user, because I did not trust him/her.

:As regards your statement that "WP:SPI advises ''against'' notifying suspected socks", you need to read the advice given more carefully. This says <nowiki>"You may wish to notify the accused with {{subst:uw-socksuspect|casename}} ~~~~"</nowiki> --] (]) 07:37, 11 September 2013‎ (UTC)
::Ok,

:::The advice also appears in ], This says: "<nowiki>You can notify the suspected accounts by adding {{subst:socksuspectnotice|PUPPETMASTER|sig=yes}} to the bottom of their talk pages. (Notification is courteous but isn’t mandatory, and in some cases it may be sub-optimal. Use your best judgement.)</nowiki>" I know it is not mandatory, but I think it is the right thing to do, as it gives people a chance to defend themselves. Mistakes can easily happen, especially when people use the "duck test" for sockpuppets. ] where a user who reverted a reversion by another user was blocked on the basis of the duck test. (The reverter had not done an edit summary, so it looked like a sock making exactly the same posting.) The user only discovered that he/she was a suspected sock puppet, after he/she got blocked. He/she was soon unblocked - but it shows the problems that can be caused by not telling people that they are accused of something.--] (]) 18:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
::::Well that's what I used to think as well.
::::Btw, how did you get involved in the JoshuSasori issue in the first place? ] (]) 01:01, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
:::::I did not get involved at all.
:::::I commented on a report at ANI in which your friend was criticising an IP editor. But what I expected when I looked at the behaviour of the IP editor was not the case; in fact the IP editor was blameless, and the person making the report was sometimes uncivil in his/her dealings with other editors. The person making the ANI report was then uncivil to me for daring to disagree with him/her. Well that seems to be how he/she is a lot of the time. Then the sock intervened, and suddenly the person who made the ANI report starts telling me that I am supporting someone I had never heard of, and I got this suspicious email that seemed to be fishing for my IP address.
:::::It is a pity the admins did not give your friend a 24 hours block for his/her being so uncivil with me. He/she needs to learn to be civil, and not to try to bully people. I had dealings with ] who the admins lets get away with all kinds of bad behaviour, with people saying that it was just as much the fault of the people he/she disagreed with. As a result, the user started to believe that he/she could get away with anything. In the end he/she went too far and got an indefinite block. If actions had taken action earlier, he/she would probably be contributing now. Like your friend he/she used to try to use ANI to attack people who dared to disagree with him. Please try and get your friend to behave better.--] (]) 07:49, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
::::::I was not uncivil in my previous dealings. Enkyo2 indicated that he didn't care whether the ''Jimmu'' article was moved, and then when I removed a ridiculously out-of-place footnote, he suddenly decided to vote against me not only there but in other places, and revert a whole bunch of my edits. How is this ''not'' "revenge"? I was then uncivil to you, not because you disagreed with me, but because you posted patent nonsense about me on ANI. I apologize for using foul language, but you had already started an unprovoked and unjustified attack on me by that point. I also told you that you were supporting the sock because you posted an apparently supportive message on the sock's talk page, and continued lying about me (I knew it was a sock, but it was IIO, and not me, who started the SPI). Additionally, you were wrong about the anon: I worked things out with him/her, and he/she admitted to having been in the wrong in the discussion that prompted me to go to ANI. I am going to ask for an IBAN with you if you continue following me around numerous forums (your solo defense of Enkyo2's activities, when everyone else agrees sanctions are needed, is worrying) and trying to revise the history of my interactions with you and other users. Also, Kaz wasn't blocked for being uncivil when provoked: he appears to have been blocked for abusing multiple accounts, and you're the one who opened the SPI. In fact, he of getting blocked for incivility. Why are you trying to associate me with a user I've never heard of and whose activities appear to have nothing in common with mine? Can you point to any place where I used ANI to attack a user I disagreed with? I've used it to bring users engaged in what I perceive as disruptive behaviour to task, and 90% of the time these users get sanctions because almost no one agrees with you that I am abusing ANI. ] (<small>]]</small>) 10:19, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Season's Greetings

Season's Greetings

When he took up his hat to go, he gave one long look round the library. Then he turned ... (and Saxon took advantage of this to wag his way in and join the party), and said, "It's a rare privilege, the free entry of a book chamber like this. I'm hoping ... that you are not insensible of it."

I wonder if this is a sock of this guy. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

looks like it-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:23, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
But have a look at this-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:26, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
and this!-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
I kinda forgot this sock farm, myself reported them many times. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:49, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I need your help

Hi @Toddy1,

1) I am a good faith editor whose start on Misplaced Pages might have been not that good but I am getting better and now editing the space in good faith.

2) The enforcement started as a retaliation as mentioned by me in the discussion here.

3) I have edited on Misplaced Pages and in the past month, we can not find a single instance where I indulged in vandalism or POV pushes as mentioned in the enforcement.

I request you to please change your opinion and kindly give me a chance to work further on the platform.

Note: I am currently undergoing my semester exams in university till 15th jan, might not respond swiftly. I respect your fair-mindedness and have a good faith that you will take side of Justice.

Thank You ! PPicazHist (talk) 08:13, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

I am not sure that you understand what "good faith" means; it is the opposite of bad faith (there is an article explaining what "bad faith" means).
I do not know whether (2) was started as retaliation. But it does not matter anymore whether it was or was not. See WP:STICK.
If the aim was to victimise you for your political views, it failed. A success would have been a topic ban or an indefinite block from editing Misplaced Pages. Admins evaluated the complaint against you with complete fairness, and did not victimise you. Instead they chose a solution to the problems reported that will enable you to develop your editing skills by creating and editing draft articles, and to learn how to evaluate sources correctly, and then return you to editing mainspace. This was very much a win for you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 13:49, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Help me

User seeking help about his/her being blocked on Spanish-language Misplaced Pages

If I have problems on the Spanish Misplaced Pages with an administrator who blocks Misplaced Pages and IRC without reason, what can I do? Who can I contact or how can I report him? GokuJuan (talk) 05:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

what can I do?
Edit English-language Misplaced Pages. But do not make the same mistakes that you made on Spanish-language Misplaced Pages.
If you do a good job editing articles on English-language Misplaced Pages for a year, this will be evidence that you are capable of making significant and useful contributions to Misplaced Pages. You could then apply for what in English-language Misplaced Pages is called the standard offer (I expect they have something similar on Spanish-language Misplaced Pages). But you may find that after editing English-language Misplaced Pages for a year that you prefer it here anyway.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:55, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
No thank u
No, thank you very much, my friend. I prefer to only edit in my language and contribute to my language. If they unblock me from Misplaced Pages in Spanish, I can do it since I wrote several articles that need improvement, but since I'm blocked, I can't do anything. Who can I ask for help with that? They even blocked my discussion page. I can't ask for unblocking... GokuJuan (talk) 09:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Your position is like someone who is sick and needs an operation to make them well, but refuses to go to hospital for the operation, because they want a doctor like the one in Star Trek who can make them well instantly.
If you want to be unblocked, you have to learn how to edit Misplaced Pages without breaking the rules. If you are not willing to do that, there is no hope for you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Friend, I only broke a rule out of ignorance, it was not on purpose, and I have not seen Startrek, you have not seen my contributions, you cannot have an opinion about the fact that I do not know how to do it, you are exaggerating, and your position is to criticize without offering any solution or help… GokuJuan (talk) 01:52, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
