== The Third Option Request ==


I am personally glad that the request was reverted. I am not at all surprised to hear that it didn't comply with the instructions at the Third Opinion page as you put it, and had a discussion which involved more than two editors. In many ways, the issue really stemmed from edits on the Bob Morley page, where there continues to be an ongoing discussion. I'm not aware of a discussion on ] currently, though, just ones on ] and ]. ] (]) 18:01, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
==], ] & ]==
Have created a situation which began by mulitple, repearted reverts of edits to avaition artile without citation requests. moreover when I began to explain my edits on various article talk pages, eithe no discussion resulted, or they refered back to the same references that I debunked with multiple, more accurate source; or they began personal attack. more over they locked, block article with not legitimate reason anf on there talk pages made unfounded and disparaging remarks. it is my opinion that all thre regularly abuse their administrative power and that those previleges should be revoked. No reply is needed and I won t be checking back here. However, a response in terms of the recommended revolking of administrator status is requested, and I believe required. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 10:34, 19 June 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


:Of those three, only MilborneOne is an administrator, so there's no administrator status to revoke for Bzuk and BilCat. On the other hand, ''I'm'' not an administrator (aka sysop) and, even if I was one, administrators have no particular powers over other administrators. If you wish to seek desysopping of someone, you need to start a complaint at ] or ], after carefully reading the instructions on that page, and be prepared to monitor and respond to responses made there (and anyone who files at one of those forums also needs to be aware of the possibility that their complaint may ] on them). ] (]) 13:49, 19 June 2015 (UTC) :Whoops.

Hi T-man. I know you are travelling or about to be, but just wanted to bring something to your attention; I was looking at the Supercarrier discussion and found that you said an editor recused as a volunteer for that dispute, yet a week later the same editor posted a "Volunteer Note" in the same section. Although the person who initiated the discussion withdrew the complaint, and there was no actual consequence in this instance, I probably don't need to say much more for you to understand what I'm getting at. If you do want me to go further than that, of course please feel free let me know. Regards, ] (]) 15:29, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
There is reverting in the Kashmir conflict thread. Human3015 edited a post by an unregistered editor. The unregistered editor reverted the edits, saying not to edit the comments of others.

:I'm not quite sure what you're asking. You've requested dispute resolution through formal mediation and that request will be pending (unless you withdraw it) until July 8. If it is rejected after that time because not enough people participate (it might be a bit longer because I'm going to be traveling and may not get back online to close or accept it before the 14th or so, though some other member of the Committee may close or accept it in my absence), then you can try either ] or a ].

It feels like too petty of a dispute to justify opening an RFC but the talk page has failrd, and its just broken down into people not responding and making accusations of misconduct over nonsense on all sides.

Hello, im trying to use the resolution system, specifically for the Manosphere article.

It feels like too petty of a dispute to justify opening an RFC but the talk page has failrd, and its just broken down into people not responding and making accusations of misconduct over nonsense on all sides.

The crux of the issue is about the presentation of the language in the intro to the article, and the distinction between Natural (category theory) and arbitrary categories.

Specifically, the current language presents the article subject as an objective, coherent, extant, natural category, but constructs it by specifying members rather than criteria.

The talk page details at length the problems with this logically, why it creates a form of lie by structure, and how regardless of the source, of the structure of the material is presented in a way that presents subjective external frameworks as natural facts, thats not NPOV and its out of the scope of any experts authority to disregard the rules of logic.

Woukd you be willing to review the discussion and help me with setting up the appropriate request for dispute resolution.
