==My Question==

An answer to my question would be nice. Why was I blocked but not the other offending party? ] 16:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

==My Talk Page==
It's my own damned Talk Page page, and I'll ] whomever I damned well please. If you don't understand what's going on, don't criticize it. --] | ] 15:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Try reading the link above -- and since you responded so quickly, it's clear you didn't. Try remembering the point of not altering comments. Read the link again. Notice the difference? --] | ] 15:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

:''Yes. You're trying to cleverly insult him. Don't do it again.'' Your mind-reading skills are falling short. I do it because it leaves the bogus comments without my being forced to read them -- which is certainly more honest than deleting them outright, which is what he does. Any suggestion otherwise is projection on your part. --] | ] 16:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

::''The next time you display such incivility, regardless of what any other user may or may not being doing, you're going to get a time out.'' What part of ''I do it because it leaves the bogus comments without my being forced to read them'' did you miss? What part of that is reliant upon or rationalized by the clause that follows? I believe deleting comments from one's Talk Pages is dishonest and I don't do it, no matter how stupid or insulting they are, but I'll be damned if I'll be forced to read them every time I have to go to my own talk page. Calling it "incivility" is flatly wrong, no matter how you handwave about it. --] | ] 16:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

===Your comment===
Ok, I actually see what you're talking about. But it's hard to deal with somebody putting down every single idea he reads. Check that page up, every single project is put down by that nobody*. And by "nobody"* I mean anybody. I just realized he is just a regular editor like me, but he acts like he calls the shots contributing to nothig but criticism (and I don't mean the good healthy kind).


In another article I relyed in my memory because I felt sure and put wrong some missing data, I corrected it myself as soon as somebody commented it. And he tells me "please don't rely on your memeory". Firstly, it wasn't that big a deal, seconly I research a lot, thirdly I haven't seen him contributing with info yet, and finally I don't know about him but I'm not a machine. He is such a ]. I don't like what I did or my tone right now, that's why I haven't been writting a lot latelly, but I understand howcome I had sch moment of weakness.

I dont get him, what's his goal? I don't think he'll be happy until wikipedia is a blanc page with absolutely no info at all. Who the hell is he to judge me? I promess to behave, you can keep an aye on me, but tell him to please be more consederate to people. For what's worth, I'm sorry.--] 20:09, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I give up, I can't handle that guy. I'll just ignore him.--] 21:47, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

This is the kind of attacks Chris does, "''I'm really trying to understand your writing. No offnse intended, but is English your second language?--Chris Griswold (☎☓) 12:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC) ''"...like the memory thing, technically he is right, but he is mean. I wrote the English thing at the top of my page. Of course he intends the ofense.--] 22:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I do not see any racist slurs and etc at . The page protection is unwarranted in my opinion (strictly based on that diff, didnt look too deep). He is also complaining about his block.

I'll translate the discussion on that diff for you (I will overly simplify it too). Basicaly Ruzgar's inclusion of the POV image was a reaction to the existance of similar images on ]. He was violating ] in that sense.

Regarding the incident: While I agree that ] article should not have such pov images, I further feel same standard should be applied to ] and other similar articles.

--<small>] ]</small> 23:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
:The fact is, not only did the user continuously and knowingly disrupted that article with that image, and even after being blocked, encouraged others to continue in his stead. That's what I consider trolling. --] 17:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
::Even so, his ISP has a semi-dynamic ip so the block is causing collateral damage. I am not compaining about the existance of the block, I am complaining about the length of the block. I also feel that the protection of the talk page is unnecesary. After all, he can simply IRC/email for that, this only prevents me from talking to him.
::I feel the user is frustrated with his inability to work on ] article (a frustration I share) and that this ] violation is steming from that. I feel what he seeks is right (removal of pov images from Armenian Genocide article), just that his method is completely wrong (attempt to force pov images to Kurdistan Workers Party article).

How long do we have to tolerate Lutherian and his disurbances?

Civility: stop editing other peoples post for MINOR reasons. There are real civility issues out there like

:I am keeping this bit of filth for evidence and show.http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages%3ARequests_for_arbitration%2FHis_excellency%2FEvidence&diff=69701704&oldid=69699623

:In my own defense: A man has a right to his opinion. I do feel Timothy Usher is a bigot. I do feel that Jews are screwing up the planet (though admittedly Muslims, by far, surpass the Jews in their capacity to destroy things). Look at history. Only recently has it become the norm to like Jews. That only came about after certain countries (eg America) adopted them as the collective dame-in-distress needing shelter and protection. Sort of the precursor to the chihuahua. Before then, Jews were hated in Europe and America alike..And everywhere else. We all know Jews were once banished from most culturally superior European countries. The only reason why Poland took them in was that they had loads of money. Probably the same reason why Washington panders to the now. Point is, alot of people dislike Jews. I'm entitled to, so long as I don't demonstrate that dislike on articles dealing with the topic of Jews. We don't penalize people for not liking things, do we? His Excellency... 00:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

So how about dealing with things like that. PS this user is not perminently banned!] 22:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't Edit peoples posts! Admin privilages do not give you cart-blanche. Deleting an anon editors posts on talk without giving a reason is not going to make them get a login is it. Don't bite the newbies!] 22:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Editing someones reply even off topic is something i have never seen especially as such talks are common (too common you're right) but as i say why not start with people who do it alot! I gave you info on an editor that does that and you say a make a personal attack? Lots of people have told him about it and its the nature of the content thats the problem. Rants and Conspiracy theories, do something about it or don't, don't matter to me. And in the part of the world i'm from the phrasing "If you cannot act civil, YOU will be dealt with accordingly, like it or not" indicates a threat, because of good faith i don't take it that way.] 22:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

:You have not said how my edit is a personal attack, it is a comment on a users negative editing. It was just an idea for you if you are bothered about chatting on a talk page, if not thats ok. But why is the FSM page specially picked out for this kind of editing? Try ] insted! Lots of chat for you to edit!] 22:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

::Actually the above user does not have access to the unabridged Merriam Webster's dictionary. So she deleted words that she did not find in the non-unabridged version. Despite the hardwork that has gone in finding these words. Also some of her edits are very unscholarly and she should not delete from enteries which she did not do enough research on and instead concentrate on enteries where she has put up unreliable material. --] 05:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
::: For example she deleted this term: ;]: Etymology: Arabic zerdaw, probably of Persian origin. Fennec. <ref> "zerda." Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster, 2002. http://unabridged.merriam-webster.com (12 Sep. 2006). </ref>.. whereas I have given full reference which is available for any subscriber to merriam-websters unabridged dictionary. But she deleted it with no valid reason: . Deleting materials that are soundly references is unacceptable. Some other words where also deleted although they were soundly referenced. This is actually vandalism of content as proper sources that are reliable (Merriam-Websters dictionary) were given. Also my reference to Assyrian/Armenian genocide is that in the article she edits, she does not mention them for political reasons, although I am not interested in her articles. But I do consider removing primary sources like Merriam-Websters unabridged dictionary (which needs subscription) as vandalism. --] 06:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I've been wondering why you consider the ] to be an example of the paranormal (since you rated it for the Paranormal Project I assume you consider it to be part of the paranormal).

Hi Shane. I'm intrigued as to why you have categorised ] as a stub?

] just did the same thing to me he's been doing to you: after he unfairly called Antaeus Feldspar a stalker, I left a "no personal attacks" warning on Blainetologist's talk page.

Can something be done? ] 19:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

::::I would really appreciate it if you would encourage JBKramer to withdraw this RFC on Lordkazan's actions. I've spoken to both users. I've seen diffs demonstrating incivility on both sides. I've seen a clear desire on Lordkazan's part to make amends. I have tried to mediate this, but as I am not an administrator I cannot speak with very much authority. I would really appreciate it if you'd lend your opinion on the RFC. I added my signature to the RFC certifying that there was a basis for the dispute, but I now consider the dispute over Lordkazan's behavior resolved. Cheers, ] 05:15, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! I very appreciated!!

== Suggestion for material removed from ] ==

Hi Inshaneee, I noticed (via an edit conflict) that you removed, via rollback, a user's post to the ], which was an article draft mistakently posted there. It appears to have been the new user's first attempt at an article, and I would imagine that he would be surprised to see it simply vanish from the page, with only a rollback-style edit summary, and probably does not know how to use the History function to recover the text. What I did, and suggest as a more useful practice, was to userfy the text and leave a message with a pointer to it, along with newbie advice pointing to the tutorial and "Your first article", etc. Thanks, --] 17:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Much appreciated. I'm still very weak when it comes to formating references but this will help me so much. I was making the reference list manually on some articles. This will be a big help. I'm working on becoming a stronger editor but I have a long way to go. ] 14:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi please take a look:
http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Turkic&action=history
Does the article have to be properly deleted or it can just be blanketed by the original creator? I was not sure about the wiki-procedure so I just revert it with the deletion tag. --] 16:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

==My "civility"==

Was that "incivil"? Well, maybe I was a bit impatient and it was unnecessary at that moment. I'll try and keep my cool more in future. But do you know what it is like to be in such a situation? Did you look at what was happening on that page? I came to that article, as a brand-new editor, and make a small rewrite for neutrality . Explained it on talk page too . One user immediately reverts it with a totally irrelevant, ignorant reason . I explain to him on talk . I restore my edit, as his objections were clearly invalid , and provide more references. The other guy inserts his ignorant remarks into the article without even an edit summary . I explain again patiently and turn his information into something that makes sense . Then ManiF turns up, blindly reverts all of my work , and pretends in his edit summary he's only doing "copyediting". What a lie. At the same time, he slams a note on my page claiming I'm a "sockpuppet", with no reason whatsoever. I protest. At least he puts back a few pieces of information in the article from what I wrote. The first guy puts his ignorant stuff back in , again, I turn it into something that makes sense . Again, I explain that patiently on the talk page . Next morning, a third guy turns up and again reverts everything I did without the slightest attempt at a justification . Then he brazenly puts in another completely made-up claim, clearly false and without a source . I correct it and make a few other minor improvements. Again, everything explained on talk page. He reverts immediately, only saying that it's "my POV" (whatever on earth that means! it seems to be their blanket justification when they have no arguments to counter) Next, I don't revert, I just put in some marks noting what I find dubious . ManiF reverts me again . I ask him to leave the dispute tags in and restore my uncontroversial improvements which had blindly removed together with the rest . He reverts again . I make another few minor improvements. The next day, I'd found the time of actually going to a library and researching the matter. I come back with a few books and do a real big, good rewrite of the whole thing. Now the article has real sources for the very first time and is like about 200% better . I even give quotations for the little details they had been blindly reverting without paying attention to them . Suddenly, a fourth guy pops out of nowhere, someone who I later find out only ever appears every few weeks to help out ManiF and his friends in revert-warring (he does nothing else), and reverts me again. . Just so that ManiF is spared the necessity of doing it himself. At that point I really am exasperated, and do another revert myself . And about that time I made that remark you found objectionable. Then ManiF starts expanding the article himself (without all of my material) with some blatantly propaganda stuff he plagiarised from a website, citing bogus "sources" that didn't even say what he claimed they said. Then I can't help myself but revert him again. And I'm still the only one who discusses anything about the matter itself on the talk page, all my arguments have remained unanswered to this day . Then reverting helpers number five and six pop out of nowhere. At that point, I'm really at the end of my tether. At last, one of them shows some understanding and makes a halfway decent compromise version including back some of my work.

So, the upshot is: These people work together with friends and helpers they call in from somewhere to help them reverting - but it's me that gets accused of being a sockpuppet. I spend the time in libraries doing actual research, they just blindly revert - but it's me that gets accused of "undoing the work of others". I patiently give explanations on the talk page - but it's me that gets accused of being "impatient" and "not leaving room for discussion". I ask admins for help - but nobody can be bothered. I'm told to "follow dispute resolution" - but when I make an "RFC" nobody answers. I get treated like garbage - but it's me that's accused of incivility. The cynicism of it all. And they say somewhere that "newbies shouldn't be bitten". Well, I'm still recovering from my first days on Misplaced Pages. I must say it was quite some experience.


== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==
Well, sorry for giving you such a long story, but I think you should know what's going on. And while you're at it telling people of for incivility, you might look at this other guy, "Azerbaijani": Do you find ''that'' civil? Calling me a "Pan-Arab" when I have actually nothing in the world to do with Arabs ? Accusing me of lying, just because I state who and what I am ? I can assure you, I am really not that Arab guy they think I am. But apparently, in their world, anybody who ever suggests that an Arab point of view might ''perhaaaaaaps'' merit inclusion in Misplaced Pages simply must be him, LOL. I still don't know what the poor guy did to make them so mad at him. ] 23:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The ] might be a halfway decent place, I suppose; or we could just discuss it privately, if that's what you prefer. The important point for any new idea is actual adoption by projects; where it's discussed before that tends not to matter too much. ] 01:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

:First, some extreme pedantry: the prevailing terminology seems to be that a "task force" is a sub-group that works on a more narrow scope, while a component of the project that does some particular task is a "department". ;-)

:As far as the actual idea goes, I suspect it wouldn't be too effective with such a setup. In my experience, editor participation decreases quite sharply as you move away from the main project page (which tends to be the most bustling area). So, an "RFC department" subpage would only be visited by a fraction of the people seeing the project page; and only a fraction of those would follow the next link to the actual RFC page. At this point, the numbers will be so low that burnout (a major factor when intervening in disputes) will be a substantial problem.


== Imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==
:The flip side of this, incidentally, is that (informal) requests on the project's main talk page tend to attract much more attention than out-of-the-way RFC listings. So there are two obvious things that could be done:
:# The more minor option: have a system where RFC listings would be cross-posted to the relevant project's talk pages. This would mean a lot of extra messages, but would allow the RFC listing to stay in place.
:# The more drastic option: dispense with the RFC listings entirely and have RFCs be made on the project's talk pages directly. This would remove the extra work in option 1, and would be fairly easy to arrange because the existing talk page tags would provide easy links to whichever projects had an interest in the article, but would, obviously, lose the central listing.


:Which of these is better, I'm not sure. Personally, I don't think the central listing is really useful; but some people would probably be upset if it were to disappear completely. ] 06:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Certain editors are having a problem with ].. He is being disruptive and unconstructive in my opinion, but what worries me is that he sees Wiki as turf war: Every time hes gets into an edit-war, he puts messages on the ], he is practically the only one saying things like ''this is once again under attack by pan-turkists'', ''anti-iranianism has become a disease, please help'' etc. See that page's history .. The whole notices there seem to be inflammatory eg ''] - Full of POV and propaganda'' - it looks like a place to get meatpuppets.. I don't know whether that article is ''full of POV and propaganda'', but it is an extremely wrong attitude, they were warned by other impartial users as well.. In all his edit summaries he accuses people of being pan-this, pan-that, racist, not knowing anything etc.. I was wondering what could be done to stop such disruptive behavior, particularly with respects to the noticeboard issue.. Cheers! ] 01:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:That is what the Iranians notice board is there for. Its not a secret buddy. Also, it is not I who starts the revert wars, it is you and the other pan Turkists that you muster up. You have been accused of pan Turkism, not just by me, but other users. You continuously make baseless and ridiculous assertions without facts.] 01:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

:::I meant if he reverts my changes, which should make everything ok now, then you would have reason to block him for disruption right? I for one will not be doing anything for the time being.] 01:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
::::I agree 100%. Could you mediate something for us? I took a bunch of reliable maps and basically combined them into one to make up for a map that cannot be found on the internet. This usesr claims its OR just because I had to combine several maps. The map this user insists on using is greatly exaggerating Turkic groups in Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East.] 01:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
