Was is FT2 talking about?

You asked what FT2 was talking about. Perhaps he was referring to this awarding of cupcakes vs your more recent opinion? Just a guess, I don't know for sure. Chillum 00:19, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

That's my guess, as indicated by my response.[1] I couldn't figure out what else it might be. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 00:22, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh and thanks, much appreciated - I think I figured it out the same time you did, and posted that while you were posting here, but that in no way negates your helpful post here. I am frequently slower to figure things out, and you were very kind to try to help me out here. Much appreciated. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 00:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I often find myself in need of things being pointed out to me. Chillum 01:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Your stance

You posted at RFAR today (summarized to make the comparison more blunt):

"An admin who[se]... friends come before policy... she should not have Wikipedia's trust... An admin who knowingly aids and abets... a sock account... is also grossly guilty of violating the community's trust. [Such a user should not] have the admin tools, having proven they are untrustworthy and place personal friendship over the community, the project, and policy."

1. Was this your view 2 months ago, in relation to the evidence of concealment of sock-puppetry by an admin, at this case?
2. Please reconcile your strong view on admin socking concealment (above and today) in the case of Jennavecia and GlassCobra, with your dismissal of identical or more serious^[1] concerns at the RFC.

^[1] In three ways worse: Geogre was an admin, not merely applying to be one; he was actively stacking and abusing, whereas the undertow had behaved well for months; and the stacking directly benefited the concealing party, whereas the_undertow's did not.

FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 00:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Uh, dude... Geogre was desysopped for his socking. He said, and I have no reason to doubt him, that in the few instances both accounts supported a view on a page with any weight (ie, not merely nattering on a user talk page) it was an error. He lost the bit anyway. I never opposed, nor do I now, his desyspooping. Its precisely what I'm asking for in this case, where the socking and the consequences were immeasurably more serious. There is nothing to reconcile. George was not evading an ArbCom ban when he created Utgard; nor did anyone knowing Utgard was a sock nominate or support him for sysop. To the best of anyone's knowledge, and according to all the evidence, Bishonen figured out Utgard was Georgre, didn't realize he had not openly disclosed the account, and had zero knowledge of his using Utgard for any !votes, and she certainly didn't nominate him for admin in violation of an ArbCom ban. There is nothing, I repeat, to reconcile. My view on the Rfc was merely to say, I think this is a silly Rfc. I still do. Its apples and hand grenades. This situation is completely different. While knowing Law=the undertow, under Arbcom sanction and created in violation of ArbCom ban, GC nominated, and Lara supported, his becoming an admin. There is no comparison at all. And as for JHochman and I arriving at the same time, look at the thread above, titled Unclear. You're sounding like a conspiracy theorist. Of all people to think I'm in collusion with! I'm used to people accusing me of being a member of the mythical "IDCab" but accusing me of some nefarious secret agenda with Hochman? No secret messages are needed, its right here in the open on my talk page. You're not "exposing" a thing. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 00:51, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

True. I came here to ask for clarification of a diff I didn't understand and got sucked into a discussion about me being a coward, so then I went out and found my backbone and stood up for what I believe in. Jehochman ^Talk 01:29, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Ouch, sorry for my lack of tact. I guess from your perspective that's what I did though, or close enough to not matter. Your statement of events did sound like you'd been intimidated into backing down; this can happen to anyone. The fault is theirs for intimidating, not yours. Please accept my apologies if I hurt or offended you. Such was not my intent. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 01:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

No, not at all! That's just my deadpan humor at work. In real life I have plenty of courage. Jehochman ^Talk 01:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, good. I'm glad I didn't hurt your feelings. I know I can be a bit blunt. Its so hard to tell with text how your words come across. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 01:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

FT2, you're just stirring up drama again. The differences between this situation and the other are clear (notably, KC's comment at RFAr about "aiding and abetting" applies in this case and not the other). Frankly, it seems like you have a bit of a vendetta here, as evidenced by your rambling "disgust" at RFAr and your previous RFC on Bishonen (which, alas, I missed out on, thus missing my chance to join the cupcake brigade). Anyway, this'll probably be my last comment on WP for a while, since I've decided to enforce a long Wikibreak (note, not due to this incident; it was a long time coming), so let me conclude by suggesting quitting looking for conspiracy theories by those you don't like, and quitting drama-mongering about how disgusted you are. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

• FT2 is my friend. Please recognize that he's trying to say what he believes to be true (even if he might be mistaken). I recommend adjourning for the night (UTC -5). Further discussions here and now are unlikely to be productive. Best regards, Jehochman ^Talk 03:13, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Pity he hasn't respected my request to cease harassing me on my talk page by repeating the same question with minor variations then. I'm sorry he doesn't care for my answer; that does not give him carte blanche to repeat it ad nauseum until he badgers me into a different result. His loaded questions are getting tiresome; he's been offensice since he first posted his slurs on the Case page. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 03:17, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

A pity, yes. Hopefully the point will be taken. Jehochman ^Talk 03:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Asking a question that is directly relevant to a matter of admin misconduct and admin ethics, can in no way be described as "harassment". You throw such terms round very loosly. I asked a question related to your stance in a dispute and RFAR matter. "Yes", "No" or "I don't want to answer that" would be valid answers. "You're harassing me by asking!" isn't. The question stands. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 03:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

And asking "when did you stop beating your wife" is a loaded question, regardless of whether I answer "yes" "no" or "I don't want to answer that". I've answered your question, or all of it that made any sense to me; your repeating yourself three times is indeed harassment. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 03:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

And in case you missed[2] it:

More to the point, what does this have to do with the current case? Nothing. I actually AGF'd and thought you might actually have a concern, FT2; but that is rapidly fading at the increasing evidence you're just trying to pick a fight and drag up an old, dead Rfc from two months ago where you didn't get your way. Your vendetta is showing; I suggest you move on to new venues and new pursuits. I would think FT2 would be ashamed of muddying the waters with his sour grapes, rather than making lame accusations far past their expiration date.

Now please be done with this inquisition, which has nothing to do with the current Rfar case. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 03:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

My comments at the dramafest arbcom

KC, your comment on this page pretty well sums up what I was curious about - the specfic differences between that situation and this one. I read FT2's post as "Holy crap, they did the same thing, add'em as parties", then re-read and struck, as you note. I ask for clarification mainly because others may have read what I did, and it might be useful for Jehochman to clarify the differences between his position then and now - read in vacuum, without context, FT2's comments sound quite serious. I think that any clarification from Jehochman will ultimately strengthen his point, not weaken it. And a solid trout-slapping to me for feeding the ZOMG drama. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 02:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean. OTOH, there is that all FT2 has done is muddy the waters by dragging in a completely unrelated Rfc, one he started, one which had very little support, and one which I found to be somewhat frivolous. I think the other two editors who brought the Rfc have accepted that it ended. I think its a pity FT2 is trying to resuscitate it. I'm not sure that giving it any more "air time" if you will, will be of any benefit. If ArbCom takes the case, there will be an evidence phase, and FT2 has evidence of... well, nothing. He can show that JHochman was confused by an edit summary of mine and our subsequent discussions led to the ArbCom filing - that's all out in the open - and he can show that there was an Rfc. That's hardly a secret. He can show I asked him if he were clueless, which was probably not my most patient moment, and doubtless led partially to his harassment here on my talk page now, trying to troll me into something which will shore up his assertion that the two cases have more than a very, very fragile and nebulous similarity. I think my response on the case page is sufficient; Hochman may decide to amend his statement also. I just wonder if your wording would add weight to the accusations. Perhaps "to avoid confusion"? However, its your statement and you must say what you think - thanks for taking the time to consider my concerns about the verbiage. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 03:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Looking at the overnights, it looks like my addendum was largely ignored, which is fine. Every time I poke at it, it gets a little worse, so I think I'm going to leave it alone. FWIW, FT2's comments also seem to have been left to the side, with the exception of Ncmvocalist - who likely would have said as much without my help. Again, sorry for stirring the drama - and thanks for the compliment, btw - much appreciated. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 12:42, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

No worries. ArbCom is pretty well aware of the hostility FT2 feels for Bishonen; his extension of that to me is something new but they handled the Geogre/Utgard Loki case so they can see the differences. I don't think any of them would bother with it unless FT2 keeps harassing to the point that sanctions are necessary against him. I could well be wrong, of course.

Inappropriate pattern of behavior by Ed Poor

You previously warned Ed Poor (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) about inappropriate behavior on the topic of Unification Church/Sun Myung Moon. You cited Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Ed_Poor_2#Ed_Poor_placed_on_Probation, and your most recent warning was [3]. He acknowledged he saw the above comments from you at his page [4]. Ed Poor has a self-admitted conflict of interest on the topic (I'm secretary to a major Unification Church leader and I am staunchly pro-Moon.). He has since gone again to make a change in article-space based on his own assertions of what he believes to be true, based on his COI, rather than secondary sources [5]. Might be time for some other action to be taken. Thanks, Cirt (talk) 16:50, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

That one is fairly minor; I see, however, that he's actually arguing for keeping unsourced materiel in a Moon related article on the article's talk page[6]. He's right on the line; I'm beginning to wonder if he's seeing how far he can push. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 16:59, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I am listening to Cirt's suggestions on how to abide by source rules, and would appreciate it if you two would "coach" me rather than threaten me with action. But either way, I do intend to comply. --Uncle Ed (talk) 17:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I have already placed a note on your page Ed. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 17:04, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Due to an edit conflict, I don't know if my latest post about a properly sourced addition has become visible yet. I found a NY Times article about funding, and I'm about to hit "Save page" on another source. Do you want me to put these suggestions on talk pages for approval first? --Uncle Ed (talk) 17:02, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

KillerChihuahua, this is a pattern of Ed Poor (talk · contribs) across the vast majority of his edits on the topic of Unification Church/Sun Myung Moon - to add unsourced info based on his own POV assertions from internal knowledge (even at WP:BLP articles) and he continues to do this despite your warning him. This is past the line. Cirt (talk) 17:03, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to add any more unsourced information.

When I wrote Let's not delete the references I meant:

• Let's not permanently remove this information. Rather, let's all work together to find the proper sources. Then, once we agree the material is properly source, let's restore the properly sourced material.

Okay? --Uncle Ed (talk) 17:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I've already told you what I think, Ed; I think you should self-recuse from all Moon and Unification related articles. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 17:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Proper sourcing

KC, is this an acceptable edit? --Uncle Ed (talk) 17:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I think you already know the answer to this one, Ed. Perfectly sourced; the NYT is unimpeachable RS, and the article sources the content you added. You don't need to check with me, you know, especially with a source like the NYT. You're still editing where you have a COI so even if you get the sourcing accurate, there is always the question of bias creeping in unintentionally. If you do have a question about sourcing, ask at WP:RS - I know you're well aware of that page as you used it recently to check a source, and I commented there.

Sarah Palin

(I originally posted this to User talk:SB Johnny, since you were away, but then I saw your post on AN/I.)

Would you *please* come to Talk:Sarah Palin and do the uninvolved admin thing; we have an editor who is acting in an extraordinarily disruptive fashion, and since you and SBJohnny are the go-to admins on this topic, I'd appreciate you stepping in and doing something. My next step is going to be requesting a topic ban at WP:AN; let's see if you can talk him off the ledge.

Well, I don't know if it was what you had in mind, but I have taken action and hopefully it will help. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 20:06, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, that wasn't want I was looking for, since other admins had already set 1RR for all editors, and 0RR for User:Scribner. What I was looking for was someone who has a familiarity with the article and no history of editing it to have a chat with Scribner; his behavior on the talk page has been especially disruptive. Take a look at the last half-dozen or so discussions on the talk page for what I am talking about. Horologium (talk) 20:17, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Nods, saw that. Me talking at him won't do any good. He has to recognize that he must discuss, and with respect and an earnest desire to achieve consensus, with other editors. 1RR and 0RR are merited, no doubt - but sorry, its just "you may edit war, only very slowly" if he doesn't try to work with others. He may, and he may not. But y'all have three days to try to find common ground with him and make a Fresh Start^TM - this may be more helpful than you think. And if not, The World Will Not End because Sarah Palin was protected for three days. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 20:46, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

(smile) I didn't realize that you were still sick; I wouldn't have bothered you if I hadn't seen you pop up in AN/I. Horologium (talk) 20:51, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Sad, isn't it? Clearly I'm not too sick to drag myself to the pc and check in here. At any rate, either Scribner will attempt to discuss during the three days, and show Good Intent, or he won't, and will go back to TE when he returns. I'm not expecting a third option - he doesn't seem the Total Meltdown type. Either way, you have three days of peace or productive discussion, hopefully both. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 20:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand why you fully protected that article for so long, when there were 1RR and 0RR restrictions that attempted to resolve the issue (you didn't even comment on either of them). The article hadn't been edited for 19 hours. The article keeps getting protected in hopes that it will resolve an edit war (though in this case, there wasn't even an edit war going on) and it accomplishes nothing. Could you please undo the protection and instead participate in enforcing the editing restrictions? Scribner has been approached by several users, myself included, and simply removed the warnings from his talk page. If other editors need to be warned, then that should be done. But please reconsider the protection of that article. Thanks. kmccoy (talk) 21:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Potential for major conflict at Karl Rove

Greetings, Killer. I see you are on the Mediation Committee. I wonder if you could check out the current situation on the Karl Rove page? It's not serious yet, this is atm a mere heads-up.

To be extremely brief, there are 2 editors there I am in substantial disagreement with (one of whom has been warned about edit-warring on the page previously and has reported me for incivility with no action taken, and the other new to the page.) Both have revealing edit histories, in my view, given the subject matter. I am reluctant to react further to what I see as WP:BAIT. Prior to starting the possibly time-consuming process with the MC, which I have never previously done and am reluctant to do, I thought I'd get an uninvolved admin to take a look. Thanks for any time you can spare to this matter. Best, Jusdafax 19:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

P.S. My memory isn't always great... I see I awarded you a Barnstar; now I remember that I liked your work. I'm hoping despite this, that you will look into my issue. Should you feel the barnstar makes my request a COI, could you please hand this matter off to someone you know to be reasonable? I am not asking for a POV from left or right, but mere reason. Thanks, and best wishes to you always. Standing by. Jusdafax 19:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you have caught me at a time when r/l is eating almost all my available time. I will look when I can; meanwhile, if things become too heated and you feel you need more immediate assistance, you can beg at ANI or at another admin's talk page; I recommend checking to find a currently actively editing admin and attempt to gain their attention. For non-admn head breaking, Durova is occasionally available. I apologise that I am not able to give this the attention it deserves at the moment. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 05:14, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I understand completely. The matter was taken today to WP:BLP/N which would not have been my choice (it languished there earlier this last summer as well with little effect, if I remember correctly) so under the circumstances I withdraw my current informal request to you as a member of the MC, and I am going to watch and comment with no further reversions at this time. I find I am inspired by User:Kingturtle to ease off from drama... depending on my mood. Best, Jusdafax 08:10, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Postlethwaite

Postlethwaite claims you were involved [9] in an alleged investigation of Sunray's mediation. In light of this reply [10], I am asking you for a detailed, on-wiki report describing the duration and extent of the alleged investigation, with a summary of all evidence considered in this case, including a clear answer on whether or not Sunray was contacted or involved in the alleged investigation and to what extent. Furthermore, I will need your view on the exact moment that Sunray ceased to be a mediator in this case. Your prompt reply is requested. Gimmetrow 13:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I have neither the time (check my contribs for the past few weeks!) nor the inclination to dig back through history and do this level of research for you. You have given me no reason whatsoever to consider assisting you in any way, let alone a reason sufficient to motivate me to comply with your very peremptory demands. What precisely are you trying to accomplish here? MedCom has investigated, you've been answered. You have given absolutely no reason for escalating your request again, and to this level. Your "alleged investigation" is a direct slap in the face to everyone in MedCom who took the time to look at this at your request in the first place, and you have not thanked anyone for taking the time SFAICT. After that kind of response, were I to bother to write you a "detailed on-wiki report" I have no reason to think you would not insult me and reject any information I provided and and insist I give you all emails and discussions along with my Internet provider's useage log, etc. What escalation next, my birth certificate? This is entering the theatre of the absurd. I suggest you take Ryan's advice and start an Rfc, or better yet, drop the subject. There is a reason you're not getting what you want - you're tendentiously arguing for preferential treatment, and stomping all over everyone in pursuit of it. That doesn't work well here. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 14:00, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Adding: If I did have more time I'd be helping at Karl Rove, as requested two sections prior to this one, and/or being more help at the BLP task force as Cary is pleading for me to do. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 14:03, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

SFAICT, there was no investigation. I was not asked for any further clarification. SFAICT, an allegation of mediation abuse was handled by Postlethwaite assuming jurisdiction, stalling, and then saying "it was investigated", without, however, asking for any evidence or showing any indication that even prima facie evidence was considered. Was it? Gimmetrow 15:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

And by the way, I was not asking for "preferential treatment", but for a fair hearing. Gimmetrow 15:09, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

You are in error. You requested an investigation to disprove allegations which you made with no evidence. I asked a preliminary question of you and was ignored. An investigation was nevertheless carried out, as you have already been informed by both the Chair of the Mediation Committee and myself. When you now state "SFAICT, there was no investigation" you are calling us both liars. I repeat my advice to take this to Rfc if you insist on pursuing this matter, as I have already given you my answer. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 16:30, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

At no point do I recall ever being asked for further information or clarification of the details of my allegations; therefore, I would like to know what information was used in the investigation. Gimmetrow 17:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I saw that you'd done a ton of work on the Infernal Bridegroom Productions page...

...and wondered if some info I came across should be added. Jason Nodler and Tamarie Cooper have a new theatre company in Houston called The Catastrophic Theatre. It doesn't have a WP page as yet, and I considered adding a line on the IBP page about the new company, but wasn't feeling bold enough, being only a lowly wikisloth.

I don't share your opinion regarding his motivations in re-opening the debate or regarding the confusing posts. It's quite out of character of him to indulge enquiries he considers trivial.

Yeah, I'm being defensive. But I've been getting threats from all angles for days inspite of trying my very hardest to act with fairness, directness, honesty and integrity. Consciously or unconsciously, there's a buddy system in operation. This encourages cynicism and gaming of the system and damages editors' faith in the admins. By extension, faith in the editorial system itself is eroded.

I just came up with a good analogy on BozMo's page, so I'm going to repeat myself without shame: Wikipedia is like a giant steamer with no captain and no rudder. If it goes off course who'll set it straight, and how?

Disruption by Ed Poor at his conflict of interest

You had previously given Ed Poor (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) this warning: Ed, I'm not going to play your games. You've been warned; watch your step on Moon and Unification related articles. I will not hesitate to block if you continue to disrupt. Puppy has spoken; puppy is done.

Ed Poor has continued to engage in disruption at articles directly in his conflict of interest; namely attempting to remove info linking related organizations and front groups to the Unification Church and Sun Myung Moon, removing sourced information, and making disruptive page moves against consensus. Please see [15] and [16] for two recent examples. Enough warnings have been given at this point. Thoughts? Cirt (talk) 02:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Updates

1. Edit-warring to remove info from the lede, that, per WP:LEAD, was verbatim sourced later in article [17].
2. Sourcing info to another non-static wiki website? [18]
3. Unsourced change to POV term "opponents" [19]
4. Unsourced addition pertaining to a BLP individual [20]
5. Edit-warring to restore POV and unsourced page move [21]
6. Seemingly professing ignorance of violations of WP:BLP and WP:BURDEN [22]

Could you take a look at the history of List of Unificationists (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ? There was a bit of reverting going on, and if asked I will gladly self revert something if need be - but I thought that per WP:BLP, any unsourced, controversial information about BLPs should be removed forthwith. In any event, post the conflict, I moved all unsourced info on WP:BLPs to the article's talk page. Look good, for now? Cirt (talk) 20:06, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Making reports on AN/I

Would you consider refactoring your comments on AN/I — or at least toning it down a bit in future reports? A lot of them seem to be in rather poor taste. Calling another editor a 'bigot' is quite beyond the pale, unless you're prepared to back that up with some really damning diffs. As well, referring to Ed Poor's four-year-previous ArbCom run seems to be a way to attack and embarrass Ed, rather than to address any problems he might have in his (current) editing. Moreover, it's a weak argument, first because several of the supporting votes (which you chose not to copy into the thread) endorsed Ed as a strong supporter of NPOV, and also because as at least four of the opposing voters have sinced been banned outright for their socking and trolling.

From your signature, I gather that you brook little interest in being civil, polite, and courteous for their own sakes', but please try to bear in mind that you'll be a much more effective advocate for your arguments if you present your requests a tad more dispassionately. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 20:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

More than happy to back up truly horrifying and hateful bigotry, via email, if requested by ArbCom. If you really want it, I'll email it to you as well. Do you? KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 20:39, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Really, I'd rather that you either add suitable supporting diffs to the thread where you made the statement, or you withdraw the claim. It certainly appears that you've gotten the editing restriction that you sought in any case, so there's no need of it. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 20:42, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

You seem terribly concerned about this, yet I assure you it is not as provoking as you seem to think. Ed hasn't bothered to deny that he's a bigot, and as its fairly common knowledge, while I appreciate that you are concerned about how I might appear, I prefer to be accurate rather than withdraw one of the things which continually creeps into Ed's POV edits. Or hadn't that occurred to you? It is relevant; it affects his edits. Yet you seem more concerned that I used the term, than at the thought of a clear bigot editing articles in a biased fashion. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 20:47, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Adding: As the issue is now resolved, I fail to see what would be gained by adding links which could only harm Ed's standing, such as it is, even further. I don't understand your insistence that I continue to add to the pile of what's stacked against him after he's been topic banned. If you're curious, I suggest you check out RationalWiki's page on Ed. It has a lot of the links you are probably looking for, and he actually was awarded an award for bigotry there. Its not the most egregious content I am aware of, but seriously, dude, its about as controversial as saying the sky is blue. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 21:17, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

At the moment, the comment reflects more poorly on you than it does on Ed, because of the appearance that you are making an unsubstantiated (and serious!) accusation. Calling someone else a bigot isn't taken lightly anywhere, as far as I know. On the other hand, if Ed is (currently) using Wikipedia as a soapbox from which to make bigoted remarks, then I'd be inclined to recommend something more than a piddly-ass little topic ban.

Bigger picture — I'm suggesting that if you took an ever-so-slightly less inflammatory approach, you'd be more likely to get a fair hearing at AN/I (and elsewhere). While it appears that you got what you wanted this time around anyway, I'd be inclined to suggest that it was in spite of, rather than because of, your reporting style. Whether you intended it to or not, you gave the impression of someone who was hoping to goad an opponent into an intemperate response (through various attacks, and the cheap shot about the old ArbCom election). With that sort of approach, you're going to end up shooting yourself in the foot one of these days. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:31, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

This is me, Ten. I've been here almost as long as longer than you (June 2004). I've spent over five years being polite and careful, and you even misunderstood my sig to mean that I "brook little interest in being civil, polite, and courteous for their own sakes" which is about 180 out from how I think. In fact, it hurt my feelings a good bit, I never did get the thick skin they say you need for this job. But FYI, my sig is not advice to not be courteous. It is advice to not be a bitch when someone else is rude. But you saying it reflects badly on me? I'm willing to back up my accusation, but would prefer not to have to, because it would only be poling on Ed and it would be a good bit of work for me to no purpose at all. Go check out the links on the page I mentioned. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 21:47, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh and cheap shot?!!! No, showing long history of same behavior. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 21:51, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, pulling out an election result from five years ago – in which Ed received a substantial majority of supporting votes, and in which about a third of the comments you quoted were from now-banned trolls and sockpuppets – is a deceptive, cheap shot. You're experienced enough to know that ArbCom elections tend to bring out the nastiness in voters, and draw the trolls like moths to a flame. Showing that a small number of editors five years ago didn't want Ed as an Arbitrator was an unfortunately weak line of evidence for you to present. Choosing to quote it in full on AN/I as by far the largest part of your evidence (in terms of length) in support of your request came across as petty and spiteful. If you want to show a pattern of behaviour then do what you did elsewhere: provide appropriate diffs, and link to previous, relevant instances of dispute resolution.

As to your opinions on civility — consider how it looks when you link to that essay in your signature, and it appears right after you say things like "POV pushing, rules-ignoring bigot", "tired of your bullshit", "spends most of his time rewriting the bible at Conservapedia", "he'll just weasel his way around the edges". It gives the impression (fair or not) that you're asking everyone to give you a free pass on any incivility in which you might engage — and placed after those sorts of comments, you'd have reason to ask. There are far better and more effective ways to say those things, and after five years here you should know that. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 22:28, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I've read your first sentence and stopped there. NO, it was NOT. I'm really sorry if it looks that way but I took EVERY SINGLE oppose from that nom, in order to be thorough and not cherry pick, and only to establish that these concerns are of long standing. You might want to try to AGF a teeny tiny damn bit and not be so sure I have such foul motivations. I'm offline for a bit. I've had about enough of getting shit on by you and accused of motives I don't have, because of one bigoted troll who has been sanctioned several times by ArbCom and who apparently has enough nostalgia factor to get some sort of weird sympathy for the hole he dug himself. You have voiced your view; I have disagreed. Now be done with that and cease informing me, incorrectly, of my motives and thought process. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 22:32, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I struck my comment on the RS/N that made reference to the previous dispute. It was unnecessary and unproductive. Regards.PelleSmith (talk) 17:57, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Appreciated. It was also an accusation of POV pushing and cronyism, which is something you should avoid unless you have actual evidence, and not to be used to smear another editor in a dispute. This is the second time in a week you have struck comments about me. I note you are also using that tactic, whether you are aware of it or not, against other editors.

WQA

My understanding of WQA isbased on the stuff at the top of the page and a two month stint editing about a year ago before a long wikibreak. It's that neutral editors could sometimes intervene using persuasion and peer pressure to either tell a reporter they were overreacting or a reported user they were being uncool. Idea being to solve disputes without loading down administrators and in a more congenial manner than blocks. Ideally both editors walk away happy. Yes, that usually doesn't work, but it does sometimes and it's really cool when it does. Frequently one or the other (eventually) gets the idea their position doesn't have a lot of traction and goes away unhappy. And sometimes it's just beyond when can be accepted by the community and needs attention by folks with enforcement power; at this point the idea is to refer to AN/I.

If WQA is a place to be monitored by admins, it seems to me it's kinda just another AN/I, which isn't the vision as I understand it. Gerardw (talk) 15:30, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, it has evolved and changed several times over the years. Originally it was supposed to be a pre-Rfc page. See here, where it is clear that if WQN cannot help, the editor is supposed to be sent to Rfc, not Ani. However, from the beginning there were admins monitoring the page, and it rather quickly became as I described, a whine and complain page for demanding that other editors be blocked. I suspect that was when most admins de-watched the page. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 16:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is a bit muddled.This here Wikipedia:DR#If_the_situation_is_urgent suggests WQA for urgent situations, which doesn't make sense to me, either. Thanks for the insight (and history lesson) -- I'll keep user RFC in mind in the future. Gerardw (talk) 16:46, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, IIRC, the "urgent" bit was added to the Dr page during the worst of the "WQA = InstaBlock" days. I'd support changing it back. Rarely is name-calling "urgent" in any sense. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 16:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Saw your run-in with this fellow on jadefalcon's review page. His comment to this review was his twelth edit. This account has my alarm bells ringing.

He's a troll of the first order; whats worse, when not trying to insult editors on review or troll to get a rise out of admins, he seems to be spending his time adding welcome templates - presumably to ensure he has supporters once he is inevitably brought to task for his foul manners. I am almost entirely unavailable right now due to r/l demands upon my time, however I support strongly any attempt to identify this killjoy.

It looks like the page has been protected, do you still need assistance? KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 02:02, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, its been protected over the last few days. I have a number of issue with the way this page is being edited. Content is inserted from what I can tell under the banner of WP:NOTCENSORED. At least thats usually what I come up against if I attempt to delete anything there. In all fairness there occasionally are some reasons given for keeping the video currently on the page. They seem rather weak to me though and ammount to no more than it helps illustrate the article better. I have argued that most people do not expect or need an encyclopedia to go to the length of depicting an ejaculation. The video is one issue, the photos on that page are quite another. You might think I would be more against the video than the photos, but the photos are definitely porn, and proven to be so. Infofreak did some checking and found out the guy who uploaded the photos has practically identical material on a X-tube porn channel - so basically the photos are stills from one of his videos. My problem is not that there might be copyright issues, apparently there is not, but just that they are porn. When I give this as reason for deleting I get blasted with WP:NOTCENSORED. Also the photos were inserted in the midst of an ongoing dispute over the video. There are currently over the last week five editors arguing for removal of the photos, four arguing for removal of the video. You could add a few more to that if you go back a few more weeks. Cyclopia is one of the editors arguing for keeping the video, he says it doesn't matter how many editors support the removal if it is against policy - and he says it is against policy. I am rather confused. I thought I had seen in policy something about avoid uploads from users with regards to sexual content, but I then realised that it was a proposed guideline. So basically because we know where the photos are from there is no debate about whether they are porn. It's a dispute now between editors who say "so what" and "its irrelevant" and those who say this does matter, we should not be using porn here to illustrate articles. My question is should contentious content be put in an article when there is an already heated dispute about contentious content already in it? Also is porn allowed on wikipedia?DMSBel (talk) 03:52, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah, yes, the infamous NOTCENSORED. You will probably never be able to gain consensus for deletion under the "its porn!" argument. It must be illegal porn. Wikipedia is indeed completely uncensored. Cyclopia is wrong, however, that "it doesn't matter how many editors support the removal" - it does indeed, it matters a great deal. While we dont' vote, we recognize that true consensus is sometimes difficult to achieve, so if a strong majority support removal, then the file is removed. Key questions to ask are, does this image or video add significantly to the understanding of the topic of the article? and is it informative, or merely shock value? A question which does not matter at all in this argument is is it offensive? You can find it offensive as all get-out, and it wont matter a whit. Really, truly. Because some strict Muslims are offended at the image of a woman's face, and we're not going to remove the picture on every female bio on the site - you see? Different people are offended by different things. We have discussed this at great length, and decided "I'm offended" must be discounted completely, under NOTCENSORED, for this site to have value and lack of bias. Hope this helps clarify things a bit. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 21:53, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for you reply. I realise there has been much discussion on this and that merely saying I find the video offensive is not sufficient reason for it to be deleted. But what about an editor putting in more photos when there is a dispute already ongoing, with vague reasons like they are "supplementary".DMSBel (talk) 22:52, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

The Prayer article

I've got someone at the Prayer article who seems to think that describing points of view is the same as promoting them. Because I openly state my Christian faith I don't think this person is willing to listen to me when I say he just doesn't have a case. He even accused me of article ownership, and comments he made after his initial edit do not seem to be relevant to the edit itself. However, he might be willing to listen to others. Although no user warnings have been issued by either side so far (and I don't see that one is warranted - yet), hearing other opinions on this matter would be appreciated, especially from those who have stated POV's that are contrary to my own. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 04:54, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Admin Coaching: Reconfirmation

I was looking through the coaches at Wikipedia:Admin_coaching/Status and saw that there are a lot under "reconfirmation".

Could you let me know if you are still interesting in being involved with Admin Coaching, or if you would prefer to have your name removed from the "reconfirmation" list. If you want to be involved, could you please move your entry from "Reconfirmation" to "Active" and indicate how many students you would be willing to have (obviously, if you are actively coaching at the moment, then please indicate this!)

If I do not hear from you within a week, I will assume that you would like to have your name removed from the list of coaches.

Can Wikipedia be called "Wiki"?

I happened across this today and remembered a note you'd sent me a while back.

A poem

   There's way too much red tape on wiki
   Sometimes that tape is rather sticky
   You wouldn't be wrong, not by a particle,
   To say we each should write an article
   Instead of having to engage
   In drafting one more policy page
   Which (we lose sight of this) is very
   Clearly something ancillary
   Can't we all straddle this wide fence
   With just a bit of common sense?
   —(excerpted from a longer piece by Newyorkbrad)

http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Understanding_IAR

The note was,

Please stop referring to Wikipedia as "wiki". "Wiki" is either a Hawaiian word meaning "quick" or a type of software. Wikipedia is a wiki. It would be like me referring to you, randomly, as "editor" and expecting everyone to know I meant you, specifically. Its nonsense. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice 18:06, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Seems there's a bit of leeway there. Out of respect for you and unknown editors who may object to the apocope "Wiki," I have since made a point of using "WP." However, you may want to consider that many people quite innocuously say "Wiki." Regards, Yopienso (talk) 01:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

So old that maybe your memory is going? =) This is a relatively (since Nov 2009) new way of publicizing RFCs... I'm not even sure separating admins and editors is necessary, but I don't think that just showing an empty list is really necessary. Otherwise we'd have to show the empty bot list too...

(after ec) Now, now, you young whippersnapper! Show some respect for your elders... err, what were we talking about? Oh yes! Was formerly the practice, when such semi-headings were used, to leave them in place. This facilitates ease of use for the people adding to the lists, later - who may not realize such headings even are used, and also provides at-a-glance confirmation that the category, to use the term loosely and in a non-WP manner, is empty. As I said, arguments can be made either way, feel free to revert me - and feel free to have to Clerk everyone who adds an Rfc to that page.

Civility parole? The article? Someone else's action? Your own actions? If you cannot be very clear and very careful, in order not to escalate a conflict, it is best to avoid pejoratives.

Limiting page histories to users

The API can limit page histories to a particular user using the &rvuser= parameter. For example, all of my edits to Main Page: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Main+Page&rvprop=user%7Ccomment&rvuser=MZMcBride&format=jsonfm

I don't think the API supports including the user edit count field with this type of query. A Toolserver tool could be created; I don't know of any tools that exist currently that do what you're after. If you can write a clear description of what you're trying to do, someone could probably make a report or a tool pretty easily. --MZMcBride (talk) 15:12, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

be aware

You should be aware that the only difference between this and this are the identify of the account making the edit. You appear to have ruled the MN is banned from making the edit he made. Is not ZP5's edit a violation of WP:BAN - "Wikipedians in turn are not permitted to post or edit material at the direction of a banned user (sometimes called proxy editing or proxying) unless they are able to confirm that the changes are verifiable and they have independent reasons for making them?" Hipocrite (talk) 17:22, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

My interpretation is that refers strictly to completely banned editors, not editors banned from making specific types of edits, or edits to a specific article. OTOH, meatpuppetry is also against the rules - but that must be proven, and in this case I think it is not a case of meatpuppetry but rather someone beating a dead horse. Forum shopping still applies; this is being discussed on GSE, so re-opening a closed thread in order to duplicate a complaint on another page would arguably apply, which is somewhat tendentious.

Ok. I disagree but I'll defer. Hipocrite (talk) 17:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I'll accept "Specific types of edits" but I must stongly state that you are wrong with respect to page bans - from the chart at Wikipedia:BAN#Difference_between_bans_and_blocks shows that Content created during block or ban is the same between site and page/topic bans.

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive59#Gatoclass

Hi KC,

Sorry to bring up an old subject, but I had to calm down for a few days before further discussing the issue. I was most surprised by your comment there, calling for my topic ban under those circumstances. Having not interacted with you or noticed you at AE before, your entrance there piqued my interest. Then I noticed that Gatoclass's very first edit at Wikipedia was to concur with your RFC position.[31] While that inofitself is somewhat suspicious for a first edit, I am more concerned that there is some sort of off-wiki relationship between you and Gatoclass. If there is such a relationship or there was some off-wiki canvassing leading up to the AE comment, I would like you to disclose as much. Respectfully, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 03:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Dang, that was his first edit? That is indeed odd, and I would suspect that Gatoclass is not his first account, or else that he edited as an anon before registering to comment on the Rfc. BTW, that is Sam Spade's Rfc, not mine, although it is my view. And no, I have no idea who Gatoclass is, and although I do recall seeing him around on the wiki, I don't know of any particular pattern or overlap. He did not email me or contact me off-wiki, and so far as I can recall has never done so. In short, I do not know him, not even to the point of regularly editing the same articles SFAIK, and certainly not IRL. FYI, I have been at AE many times before.

Sorry to see you dragged into this. You'd think that someone who was just warned at AE for making unsubstantiated accusations would want to be a bit more circumspect, but I guess not. I can only assume this line of inquiry was in regards to the user conduct RFC brewcrewer threatened me with yesterday, I could certainly do without the wikidrama but I hope he appreciates that when one resorts to dispute resolution, the behaviour of all protagonists comes under scrutiny, not just that of the accused.

Remind yourself that the world will not end if this is not immediately dealt with, that Wikipedia is a work in progress, and you don't need to fret about every little thing.

You want me to ignore an article i just moved to mainspace? Yep great idea that one :( mark nutley (talk) 08:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes. If you wish to do anything at all, then I suggest you fix the places where a fix is needed, add a cite where a cite is needed, remove any extra tags which are not necessary (ONCE) and ignore that it is WMC doing the tagging. I also suggest you remember you are not the only editor on WP besides WMC. There are other editors. This is excellent advice. Should anything transpire in the future, you will have no hostile posts, no aggressive actions to your detriment. It is possible WMC's actions will be viewed in a negative light, if you don't respond to him and escalate, which has been your tactic so far, and which has led to a topic ban and a block and very nearly other repercussions. If, on the other hand, you do not respond, there is nothing anyone can find objectionable. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 12:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
