Your recent edits

Information icon Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Chronic fatigue syndrome treatment, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. sciencewatcher (talk) 15:51, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

(Your edit added a reference, which is one of the things that is specifically mentioned as being not a minor edit). Don't worry about it - it's not really obvious what exactly a 'minor edit' actually is. --sciencewatcher (talk) 15:53, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Letters to the editor

Hi, I didn't get a reply from you about my question as to whether you wrote any of those letters to the editor. --sciencewatcher (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

HouseOfChange, I have asked you not to take your Misplaced Pages-wide campaign to discredit me to my Talk page. Save your manipulations for the administrators. Saflieni (talk) 09:15, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Per my statement at ANI. Your appeal options are explained at WP:GAB. EdJohnston (talk) 20:45, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Apparently I'm blocked for asking a hostile editor (whom I'll call "X") who posts an overwhelming quantity of false accusations against me, to "please stop posting lies on my Talkpage and on Noticeboards.". My guess is that the word "lies" is regarded uncivil so I have no problem using another word or phrase if someone could educate me on the correct response in this context. The latest example of the false accusations is: "Basing your edits on unpublished earlier sources or translations is OR, and "citing" them to a published source that says something different is wrong." This is slander. I did not use unpublished sources, nor did I try to deceive anyone. X doesn't even indicate which unpublished sources I'm supposed to have used. Such accusations are specifically designed to attack my integrity, and it's a pattern. X employs similar tactics to discredit senior scholars if they've published something X disagrees with. Another undesirable aspect of this case is that the admin who blocked me has posted several comments on the Noticeboard to support a complaint lodged by X about me as part of their campaign. They were echoing X's false accusations, such as: "He seems to want the author of the book to be considered a Rwandan genocide denier." (I don't) This suggests that this admin is not independent and should leave such decisions to someone else, to avoid the appearance of partiality. Saflieni (talk) 03:02, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You've spent the majority of this unblock request complaining about someone else. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

NinjaRobotPirate. Thank you and point taken. If I remove the context, what remains is: My guess is that the word "lies" is regarded uncivil so I have no problem using another word or phrase if someone could educate me on the correct response in this context. That's a sincere request. The rest I will take to Arbitration.Saflieni (talk) 09:53, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
