This message is regarding the page Kurdish people. Please stop adding nonsense to Misplaced Pages. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you.

Sorry

Hey sorry Manik, I didn't know. I'll revert my edit. It's just that you and the other guy both reverted the same edits on the Kurdish people page. --Khoikhoi 06:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Do not worry about a thing he is the one who forces me, not that I really care. The truth is the truth no matter what it says on the net. I only use Misplaced Pages as an information source. He likes writting on it at the same time as he is doing his...okay he is getting pissed. LOL. Manik666 06:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Harrassment

I warned Diyako about the issue, and it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem. It is not the responsibility of the users to 'chase down' things like this, especially in such an abusive way as this. Calling another user a liar and saying things like 'I smell a block' are highly innapropriate. Please keep your comments and actions civil. --InShaneee 02:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me, but he is clearly lying. The Kurdish issue appears after he delibertly tried to create a seperate definition for the celebration of Nowruz outside Iran. He additionally did not stop using the term Farsi when asked. This is not the first time. This is instigation. I also want to point out to his vandalism of the Kurdistan page. This user uses bogus and phoney resources as verification. This is a clear and inexcusable breach of Wiki guidelines, which needs no explaining. I expect you to fulfill your duty and responsibility as an administrator unless you agree with his actions. PLease look at the sources stating that the Kurdish flag is criminal to fly in Iran, then get back to me. In my good nature, I can not tolerate such vandalism as I have seen in the past from this user as well as user:Acuman. Manik666 02:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Please do not type in all caps, it is considered impolite. I haven't seen him use the term since I warned him. And whether his sources are legitimate or not is not something I (or any admin) can really say, without a lot of research. If you believe that they aren't legitimate, find some sources that discount his information and discuss it on the talk page. --InShaneee 03:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

They are not sources. They lead to a Google search. Did you look at them? That is just it they are not sources. Alright I guess you are going to let the vandlaism slide. How can a blank page be a sources? Manik666 03:24, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Even if they are innapropriate, that isn't vandalism. --InShaneee 03:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

ALright so I cn just give any website and anything I say can be added to an article. That is what you are saying to me. Manik666 03:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

That's not at all what I'm saying. Calm down. What I'm saying is that you must have sources to back up your claims. If you don't think they're valid, say so, and preferably, find a source that says otherwise, or find something else that says why it's not valid. Just saying it's not right doesn't cut it. Anyway, that's what the talk page is for. --InShaneee 03:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

He has no source he has added to the article using random or blank pages as verification. Manik666 03:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Then mention that on the talk page and let other contributers see that and comment on it. --InShaneee 03:57, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

A prior user has beofre hand. Have you even read the talk page? Did you look at the sources now? It is on the flag article in Kurdistan. I am not touching it I want it as proof. This is exactly the type of behaviour that user:Diyako and user:Acumn engage in that hs the 40 or so editors upset. Manik666 04:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, no, I don't see what links you are talking about, unless you mean the Britannica links, which certainly aren't 'random' in any sense of the word. Secondly, if it's clearly not appropriate, then say so, and I'm sure other users will say that, and the consensus will be not to use them as sources in the actual article. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't make it vandalism. This is not something someone would be blocked for, and I'd appreciate if you'd stop demanding it. --InShaneee 04:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

DO you know what I am talking about? Where are you? There is no Britannica. Here let me make it very easy for you since you have a hard time following. It seems that you have a hard time understanding. Here take a look at the sources. Allow me, exhibits number one and two and three…fake sources claiming that the Kurdish flag is criminal in Iran. Where do they even talk about flags? {| Template:Prettyinfobox

Manik666 04:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Calm down and keep your tone civil. Yes, I see the links you are talking about now. While the first link does have nothing to do with the flag, and the third isn't an appropriate source, the second does have this line in it: "They cannot study their own language, celebrate their own festivals or even display their own flag." --InShaneee 04:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, he just added that one. It does not justify the other two and that one is conjecture. All Kurdish festivals are the same as other Iranians. As for langauge, It is taught in private schools and at the university level. You see what he is doing now. You see how unread sources are being used to justify claims? This third source was just added. Where does it state that iti is criminal or a crime? There is no verification that the Kurdish flag is a crime to fly in Iran. Manik666 04:40, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Alright, let's cut to the chase here: What do you want me to do here? --InShaneee 04:43, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, if you read the archieves of the discussion on kurds ou will see that was pointed out in the past but ignored bu users such as Acuman in a very biased way. Note back then there were only two sources, the ones that had nothing to do with the flag. Manik666 04:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

See it is unfortunate I must go through all this effort to point out the blatant destruction of articles by a small and select group of individuals with their political POV. I want the article protected. I wanted this user disciplined and warned about this type of destructive and unpleasant behaviour. It has been going for to long. I do not need to tell you what to do you are an administrator for a reason to make sure there is quality control and proper verification of articles. I believe this type of behaviour is a gross form of unsavoury vandalism. Tell me what you intend to do to this user. Especially after user:Diyako deliberately was instantiating and antagonism other users today with his uncalled for demeaning statements.

First of all, it's hardly 'blatant destruction'. Second of all, I'm not going to protect the article, as there is no mass vandalism nor an edit war occuring there. Thirdly, it's not vandalism, and I don't know how many times I have to say that. And finally, I don't intend to do a thing about Diyako. I don't see him making any comments besides CONSTRUCTIVE ones (something I have yet to see you do). And if you don't want the link there, why don't you just take it out yourself? Either way, until something new happens, I'm washing my hands of this matter. --InShaneee 04:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Well you have basically stated where you stand. You allowed him to get away with demeaning comments that he was warned about continuously by you and two other users. Now you are letting him continue with this behaviour. Furthermore, you have edacity to reprehend and censor me when it is that user that should be disciplined. You have watched these users degrade articles and other editors in personal attacks and it is all documented. Lastly I see on your user page and other pages you have been basically called a bad administrator who abuses his powers. I would have to agree with the authors of such statements and I will ensue on a course of having you told about your reasonability’s and obligations as an administrator. I merely want articles of all shapes and sizes protected in the sense where fabrication and counterfeit information are not inseminated into them. That is the sort of protection I am talking about. Very well allow this disgusting behaviour to continue. Manik666 05:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism by Acuaman

Please provide specific evidence of vandalism by Aucaman. Also, I have posted the request for arbitration. Robert McClenon 03:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

In my past discussions I have experienced this user reverting vandalism, even when verification and legitimate sources were provided. He has also side stepped process and changed other definitions. I mostly just watch, but I feel obliged to voice myself on this. Sadly, it would take a lot of time to provide verification for my statement and I will let the other users do, but I will take full responsibility for my statement and if needs be if found defaming him suffer the consequences. Look at his Aryan debacle that even is an example of how radical he is. Now, that you are talking to me I will point out vandalism on the Kurdistan article that is constantly reverted and ignored by users such as Acuman and Heja. It is based on the assertion of the Kurdish flag being a criminal offence in Iran. I have asked user:InShanee about this obviouse breach of Wiki code and see inactivity on that users part which is making me loose path in neutral admins. The user who is currently the centre of this vandalism is allowed to do as he wishes. Manik666 03:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

NPA

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks, --Rory096 05:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me that was clearly not a personal attack. Read the conversation. I merely told the administrator I believe that through his ineptness he is not doing is job. He has allowed demeaning comments to be said unpunished and even when the desecration of articles is proven to him in a manner where he cannot deny it he allows the culprit to get off scot-free. You have no right or legitimate reason to give me a warning on my totally legitimate statement. Everything that he does not like can not just be categorized as a personal attack that is abuse of power on your part. He criticized me and in essence said that the disruptive editor was constructive while I on the other hand am not. I have merely criticized him back not even as retaliation but on his ineptness. I can not be censored for making a legitimate observation and complaint. You have no authority to make such a statement. Take your warning back, before the situation escalates. Fully understand the situation and the context of this conversation. Manik666 05:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
