https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests#Bernie_Sanders_Topic_Ban_Appeal_from_Sir_Joseph Sir Joseph 18:43, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- 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.

- 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)
Consider withdrawing the RfC on Sanders' religion?
hi Malik - by framing the RfC as a yes/no question "Should the infobox in this article include "Religion: Jewish"? " I fear you have set up the community to fail and set up a zero-sum discussion that is itself, I think, driving the rancor. A question where we could have maybe found a consensus would have been open like "What should be in the "religion=" field in the infobox?". Would you please consider withdrawing the RfC? Only you can do that, at this point. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 01:06, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jytdog. Thank you for your message. I don't think there's any point in withdrawing the RfC. It will be 30 days old tomorrow, and in any event it's going to be closed as "No consensus". — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:46, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your kind reply. Really. Someone still has to close it, however..... and withdrawing it would spare that and the inevitable blowback. But "too late" is completely reasonable. Sorry I didn't suggest it when it would have been more actionable. Jytdog (talk) 02:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
