| == Advice == | |||
| SashiRolls, if your goal is to improve the Misplaced Pages articles on subjects you care about, some of your behavior recently may have been counterproductive. I understand how frustration can make it difficult, but ] is really essential. Especially if other editors are not acting in good faith, it is important for you to communicate civilly and demonstrate good faith more generally so that others can tell the difference between your behavior and theirs. Otherwise, third-party observers are going to be inclined to oppose you even when you may be correct about the substance. | |||
| Consider this excerpt ]: "When any dispute arises as to what the article should say, or what is true, we must not adopt an adversarial stance; we must do our best to step back and ask ourselves, 'How can this dispute be fairly characterized?' This has to be asked repeatedly as each new controversial point is stated. It is not our job to edit Misplaced Pages so that it reflects our own idiosyncratic views and then defend those edits against all-comers; it is our job to work together, mainly adding or improving content, but also, when necessary, coming to a compromise about how a controversy should be described, so that it is fair to all sides. Consensus is not always possible, but it should be your goal." | |||
| If you fundamentally disagree with that tenet of Misplaced Pages, it may be best to let go and save yourself the frustration. But I do believe in it. Misplaced Pages is one of very few places left in the world where people with diametrically opposed viewpoints attempt to discuss controversial issues with each other and forge a consensus. It's messy and imperfect, but it's pretty much the best thing we've got. | |||
| Assuming good faith and striving for civility and consensus does NOT mean letting people walk all over you. But when you feel mistreated, rather than trying to "fight back" with snarky comments and strategic editing, it's more effective to appeal to higher authority in the proper way using the Dispute Resolution process. Read the ] policy carefully. It will help you to remain calm by reminding you both that there are processes available to help you and that your own conduct will be scrutinized when you do ultimately appeal to others for help. ] (]) 19:13, 18 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
| ::I appreciate your anonymous advice. I will do my best to continue my project of making the page as fair as possible. I have never been involved in a political page before and felt, after seeing multiple editors fail; I am moving forward in the only way I can, by trying to be fair to both sides. But it is ridiculous to have "would lose to a gorilla" and "bad mother" quotes on a Misplaced Pages page about a person. There is also a significant "stalling" campaign that is being led to make it as difficult as possible to undo the damage to the page since June. Understand, that by the very fact that I don't know you, I can assume good faith and answer, or assume it's part of a stalling campaign and spend my time elsewhere. Snark is admittedly not as effective as the clacking tongue (langue de bois... e.g. "this has already been discussed and decided".) Please feel free to work on the page rather than talking about working on the page! Happy editing. ] (]) 20:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
| ::Also for info I did appeal to a superadministrator ] for guidance several (four) days ago, and am following the dispute process, which, in fact I have read. I did not expect the talk page to balloon as it did; that was clever strategy from Snoog. Though there may be none of this going on, having read this article and seen the strong bias of both the Baraka page and the Stein page, I have decided to act to prevent any potential "hacking" that I can, whether it be professional or amateur: : "How to Hack an Election" ] (]) 20:35, 18 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
| :::Actually, some of your comments on NeilN's talk page were part of my motivation for offering you this advice. Accusations like come across as "wild" because VictoriaGrayson was not using ] which makes a difference in the guidelines. Also, ownership is a complex issue and the record (as far as I have seen) doesn't seem to show you following ] in response to suspicion of ownership. Again, I understand your frustration, given the amount of time and effort you have obviously put into this. But if you can find the presence of mind to engage in a more disciplined way, it will both save you time and stress and also be more effective in improving Misplaced Pages. | |||
| :::As for your hacking comments, that's an interesting article you link to, but it is only tangentially related to these specific Misplaced Pages disputes. Again, such comments are not an ]. Instead, they are actually counterproductive because they make you look reckless in the eyes of those with the (difficult) responsibility of making the judgment calls on such things. ] (]) 21:39, 18 August 2016 (UTC) | |||

My problem is that, not having any sort of special rollback software, I don't know how it works, for me "roll back" in that particular case, was to revert a whole series of edits. I'm also not really that interested in trying to prove COI. I don't want to cause anyone any harm, I just want the continuous reversion of fair edits to stop. ] (]) 22:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC) | |||

| Please read ] and ]. Consensus generally means that when material is challenged — particularly by multiple editors who have each stated policy-based reasons for the challenge — you do ''not'' restore the content without ''first'' discussing the issue. "Consensus" does not mean that your position is the default. ]<sup>]</sup> 13:26, 25 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
| : Your tendency to revert those who do not have an anti-Stein, anti-Baraka perspective is shocking. From the page you cited: "Consider reverting only when necessary. Reversion should be a '''last''' choice in editing: the first choice in editing should always be to improve an article by refinement, not to revert changes by other editors." I do not think you can pretend to be neutral in this discussion given your revert history. ] (]) 13:33, 25 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
| :: That's not responsive to what I said.

| ::Having read more about the Wiki-legality of multiple accounts since this accusation of abuse, I have learned that -- as I thought at the time -- there is nothing wrong with editing under a second account.

Sadly, this facilitates the work of anyone potentially being paid to prevent critical editing. As such I have decided to "do my time" with honor, and declare that yes Br'er Frog was created in order to edit off the radar of any "Correct the Record" folks who may have decided to watch my account, to prevent me from adding any verifiable and reliably sourced edits which do not fit with their views.

| :It was a factual statement to indicate that I am observing the terms of the gag rule he applied to me.

| :*Well, I don't know what you gathered or not. You can breathe whatever you like. If you're talking about the Jill Stein topic ban--well, that's great, and yet I wonder why you brought it up at ]. Perhaps this is cathartic for you, but "gag rule" is of course wholly inappropriate, as was pointed out by {{U|Shock Brigade Harvester Boris}}, and the only thing it does for us admins is confirm that there mush indeed have been some seriously disruptive behavior. You were advised, above, of the opportunities you have for appealing the block. That is what you can do. What you can not do is continue to complain about the admin or the topic ban, esp. not in terms of "censorship" or "gag rule". {{U|NuclearWarfare}} was just doing their job and if you think they did a poor job, appeal it. Thank you, ] (]) 03:45, 7 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
| ::*As I understand it, the only way to successfully appeal such action is to admit that I was terribly wrong and to apologize profusely for working to undo the hack job on the JS page during the month of August. Since you, a member of ArbCom, say that I can breathe whatever I like and that there is no gag rule, I will count on the truth of that statement and say this: Recently, the editor widely identified as responsible for the hack of the page engaged in copyright violation to introduce negative information into the BLP page (Jill Stein) sourced only to the ''Daily Beast'' (four users, including Tryptofish and Neutrality, suggested the text should be included in the page in an RfC, despite the clear copyright violation). When I had to invoke ] to protect Misplaced Pages from ] (]), the user didn't even apologize for it, but rewrote the sentence "A,B" as "B,A" in order to try to get around the rules. There is no ambiguity; this was not an innocent mistake. Now I have to go do my day job, Drmies, thank you for suggesting that I appeal, but please understand that I am not paid to edit Misplaced Pages and that I have a day job -- as you do: if I remember correctly we do similar things for a living -- which I should be devoting more time to, rather than trying to fight for net neutrality. ] (]) 06:28, 7 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
| :::*You willfully misunderstand. I did not tell you to appeal. No one says you have to admit you were terribly wrong etc. There is no "gag rule", but there is a topic ban, which is not a gag rule, and if you discuss Jill Stein or anything related to her one more time I will block you on the spot. You can call that a gag rule if you like, but if you do, you open yourself up to a block as well for reasons I have explained above. If those reasons are somehow not clear to you, then you should play it safe by no longer talking about this matter at all. If your "fight for net neutrality" and a crusade against a perceived copyvio means editing disruptively, against consensus, then you'll have to take that fight elsewhere: this place may not be for you. ] (]) 13:29, 7 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
| ::::*Furthermore, that comment was a serious demonstration of non-comprehension of what actually happened at the Jill Stein page, which can be easily seen at the ]. (I am commenting because I was referred to negatively here, and I am pinging {{u|Neutrality}} as a courtesy.) Such a characterization, along with the very fact that SashiRolls was clearly watching the page despite the topic ban, does not bode well for what will happen when the topic ban expires. Nor does referring to the other editor as having "hacked" the page, and most certainly nor does responding to that editor by doing this: , , and (thus ). I'm saying all of that more for the administrators watching here, than for SashiRolls. --] (]) 20:16, 7 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
| :::*SashiRolls: I've basically tried to avoid interacting with you, given your past conduct, but you continue to draw my name into your constantly grievance-laden posts. The fact that you bear these incredible grudges and follow editors around is extremely off-putting. Let me give an example. Just two days ago you go to a page that you never had interest in before (]), in order to follow around an editor you dislike ({{yo|Snooganssnoogans}}) and remove his extremely well-sourced copy (which is cited to a 2016 study in the peer-reviewed '']''). You claim that the reason for your revert was "grammar errors" - but of course you could have simply fixed any grammar error that existed and moved on. You also claimed that you "couldn't verify the text" behind a paywall - even though a simple check of policy (], part of ]) would have shown you that your lack of access of academic databases is not a valid reason for removal. In a second edit, you that the article is not "a good source or a useful addition" — which makes no sense whatsoever (it's a peer-reviewed source, recent, directly on point to the article subject). The edits basically appear part of a strategy to harass Snooganssnoogans and drive him off the project. This is part and parcel of your ]: constantly accuse or intimate that other editors of being wrong, "paid shills," etc., in an attempt to antagonize them. This kind of content is ''exactly'' why you got topic-banned. | |||

| :::::Hi gang. No, insofar as I could not verify the reference for Snoog's in the article "Reconquista" I politely asked the editor to fix it him/herself given my total lack of confidence in this editor. Trypto provides a "diff" but does not provide the : instead of correcting two subject-verb agreement errors in a single sentence, I politely asked Snoog to do so. Only after being thoroughly insulted and seeing that Snoog cared so little about WP that s/he was not going to change the errors s/he introduced on his/her own did I act to correct the error. | |||
| :::::Regarding your voting for inclusion of a copyright violation (and clearly '''not''' a "perceived" copyright violation), I think this speaks for itself. Trypto & neutrality, please, when you have "clean hands" then you can criticize. As it is, I'm afraid you do not. Insofar as just above your comments, I am asked not to speak about anything, I would ask you both to drop the stick and make no further contributions to my talk page since you see I am not at liberty to defend myself. You made a mistake; mistakes are human. You act as if you don't see your mistake, that is more troubling. ] (]) 01:21, 8 November 2016 (UTC) | |||

Latest revision as of 03:20, 8 December 2024
For those who like to rummage, the been is here.
Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates
You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA
. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:
First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.
Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
