I'd appreciate a comment, if you don't mind

Hi Sir Joseph. I'll comment at WP:A/E, which is on my watchlist.

For future reference, please familiarize yourself with WP:CANVASS, which you may have violated by posting a message here. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 04:45, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought since you're not an admin so it's not a vote it wouldn't matter, but I guess with Wiki everything is a problem. And now some admin is proposing a six month ban for me I guess because I dared appeal the initial ban, I think. Although I'm not sure why. Sir Joseph 18:00, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

BTW, is Encyclopedia Britannica a WP:RS? The free version is available online and they have some nice articles online for all to use. Sir Joseph 18:32, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Britannica is a reliable source. Encyclopedias are tertiary sources and while secondary sources are preferred, tertiary sources are fine. You should read WP:PSTS, a section of WP:NOR, which discusses the appropriate use on Misplaced Pages of tertiary sources. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 02:39, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

I wonder if it's reliable enough for certain editors on certain pages though. I can't mention anything more for violating bans but.... Sir Joseph 03:59, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Understood. The less said about it at this point, the better. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 04:07, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Strange, I wonder why a request for enforcement it listed on the requests for arbitration? Completely different area, I believe. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:55, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

It's at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Arbitration enforcement action appeal by Sir Joseph. I don't know what happened to the link posted by Sir Joseph above. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 02:39, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I messed up the link. And it's an interesting read, although I removed lots of my defense, apparently I'm limited to 500 words but everyone else can post, and of course since I filed an appeal that means I get a six month extension to my one week block. I'm not sure why, but that is what it looks like. (and I got a stalker, I guess I made it in life.) Sir Joseph 04:17, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Quakers#Non-theist apparently every religion has interesting sub sections. It's very interesting what you can read on Misplaced Pages and that is why I like to read and edit Misplaced Pages. Sir Joseph 14:42, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

I guess it is Soviet Russia. Except here we have timestamps to show admins lying through their teeth. Sir Joseph 15:47, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

If you have time ...

Islamic Terrorist Attacks

Regarding the attack in Yemen in which 15 Elderly Christians were killed, I do not think it is appropriate to take down the post and say that it is not an Islamic attack. The local authorities stated that there is a high possibility that ISIL is responsible for the attack. Just because you think that information should be censored because it involves attacks that have been committed by Muslims that doesn't mean that you can take them down. You're username is Malcolm X so I am sure that you have a biased opinion regarding Muslims.

It really doesn't matter what you or I think. What matters is what reliable sources say. According to the source you selected and cited, the motive for the attack is unknown and no group has claimed responsibility for it. If local authorities have identified the perpetrators, please cite a source that says so.

Also, please read WP:No personal attacks. As the policy says, "Comment on content, not on the contributor." Thank you. — MShabazz /_Stalk 12:38, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
