Joseph Barbera

Mr. Barbera's biography on Misplaced Pages contains 5 sources confirming he is of Sicilian ancestry. Your source is not reliable and therefore he should not be included on this list. Furthermore, do not revert constructive edits I have done on this list correcting grammar and structural errors. Please have at least four verifiable references confirming Mr. Barbera is Lebanese or this will be end of conversation. --XLR8TION (talk) 19:58, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

First off, Both my sources are Very Reliable. Who are you to say whether they are or are not reliable?! Furthermore, there is no rule that says you need 4 sources and if there was, I would have provided as many. Many sources out there state he was Lebanese. Furthermore, to use a NPOV, I stated that he was "with Lebanese and/or Italian ethnicity" That is a NPOV. So you need to accept this fact. Do not drag this into an edit war! And do not revert it!Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 21:04, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Now you're telling people you can edit but they can't and insist his own autobio is less worthy than a web site that copied erroneous info. There are more sources that back up his autobio than your measly two sources. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:11, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not saying that. I'm saying, keep a NPOV! His autobio is a good source, just as my 2 sources are. Also, your first source, is from the AEI! Not even close to being reliable on this subject! Your second source is an Italian website! Not even close to being reliable on this subject (there are Many Lebanese websites that state that both Barbera and Hanna were Lebanese. But I have not used them to keep a NPOV!).

That leaves you with 2 sources, just as I have 2. So stop your reverts. Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 21:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Rlevse, who are you to say if the info is "erroneous"? Your problem is with the Daily Telegraph and my other source. Both are reliable but if you have criticism about their info, I suggest you take it up with them. Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 21:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

See my comment on the Talk:Joseph Barbera at 21:20, 31 Aug, basically you keep zooming in on one source and ignoring the others. And then consider that you got yourself blocked twice over this. There's a reason, think about it. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:37, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

One source??? YOU ARE THE ONE PUSHING A POV! Not accepting ANY SOURCES that state he was LEBANESE! I'm the one accepting your sources as well as mine! Blocked? Not surprised. Beginning to understand why hardly anyone outside of Misplaced Pages trusts it! Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 21:44, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Excuse me but How were my edits "Vandalism"!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Were they "Vandalism" because I was trying to keep a NPOV on 2 articles, while the 2 other users (who were Not blocked) WERE PUSHING A POV???????? Choosing which sources to accept and which not to is NOT NPOV. It is a POV. INCLUDING All sources available IS NPOV. Completely ridiculous and contradicting behavior!

Decline reason:

You weren't blocked for vandalism. You were blocked for edit warring, which you clearly were. Smashville 21:59, 31 August 2009 (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.

Edit warring? Show me where! Because I was not.Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 22:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Rlevse, you really are a racist you know. Also, I'm Not even an Arab! lol Furthermore, Do not put words in my mouth. GOT IT?? Your just so blinded by your hatred its incredible and laughable. :) Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 00:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

If you look at the history of the article, you can see that you repeatedly undid others' edits despite there being no conesnsus for your edit. That is edit warring. When there is no consensus for your version, the correct procedure is to restore the article to the status quo, discuss the issue, and change the article again only if you gain consensus for your edits. Furthermore, comments such as the above are unconstructive and are not conducive to a positive atmosphere. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:41, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Firstly, I would really like to thank you for your kind response here! :) As for me calling Rlevse "racist", that's what it looks like from the way he seems obsessed with keeping out any Lebanese claims. About edit warring: The edit warring article says this "Edit warring is the confrontational, combative, non-productive use of editing and reverting to try to win, manipulate, or stall a discussion, or coerce a given stance on a page without regard to collaborative approaches" and also, "Typically a user who edit wars is ignoring editorial norms, reverting rather than taking due consideration of the points made by others." But it also says: "It states that a user who makes more than three revert actions (of any kind) on any one page within a 24 hour period, may be considered to be edit warring, and blocked appropriately, usually for a 24 hour period for a first incident".

Now there was no edit war going on, on the article in question.

As you can see, my first edit was at 00:27, 31 August 2009 which was when I added the note. The edit right after that, was me, improving the note I had added. Right after this second edit, Rlevse reverts my edits. After he does so, I revert his revert and ask that he keep it the way it is while the topic is in discussion. That was it. There was no edit war. 4 Reverts = an Edit war. That was only 1! And even if you wish to count all the edits, that was only 3 and not 4!

My Block

I have extended your block to indefinite - your account appears to only exist to push a POV and disrupt the Misplaced Pages community. Calling a user a racist is unacceptable. –Juliancolton |  01:15, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Alright look, I will apologize for the racist remark. I shouldn't have said it. But can you please tell me how I'm pushing a POV when I accept his autobio as well as other soureces??? Rlevse seems to not accept any source besides the autobio. I accept all of them (I never even said that I don't accept his autobio). So how am I pushing a POV??? Can you explain??Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 13:47, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Juliancolton, do you know you are breaking adminid\strator rules with your failure to commuinicate as per http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators#Administrators_are_accountable and my block said that I was blocked for Vandalism. Not edit warring. Its on this page so you can see. Furthermore, as is clear, I was not Vandalizing. But then you said I got blocked for edit warring yet can't prove that I was. Now you say, I'm blocked indefinetly for pushing a POV. And you can't tell me how I am doing so. According to Misplaced Pages policy, admins are held accouintable.Knight Prince - Sage Veritas (talk) 15:01, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
