| You have modified the ] article based on a legal decision. These allegation is unjustified and is ones personal agenda, as the official Lakewood township has information that has been deleted from the above article. This is an attempt by someone in charge at Lakewood Yeshiva to remove things they don't like but are in fact not harmful in any way. Please explain why and on what basis they were removed. --] (]) 17:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Hi Swatjester - You made a curious comment on your ArbCom vote. I expected that many users would regard my lack of logged-in editing as a negative (to be honest, I have no expectation of being elected, chiefly for this reason). However your comment "seems out of touch with today's Misplaced Pages" completely caught me by surprise. If you have the time I'd be grateful if you could explain how you came to that opinion. Cheers ] 04:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :::Sorry if you misunderstood me, I did not accuse you, but the person filing the complaint. What I am saying is that the person that filled the complaint is acting not on behalf of what he claims he is - homeland security - but on behalf of someone in Yeshiva, it just happens to be that he has a badge and I don't. As evidence I have showed you the link to Lakewood TWP site that has more information that is currently on the wp article. If it would be a homeland security problem, why is that not gone?--] (]) 22:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::Quote: '''''I will say that on the face of it, the credentials check out, and while not all of the requests were granted, some of them involved things that we do delete revisions for, such as disclosure of personal information''''' I know the credentials check out, and that is exactly my point. It was done based on the credentials and as far as I can see not on the content or validity of his claim. Please just tell me what other things you delete revisions for, as I'm trying to understand this. Thank you.--] (]) 23:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Please see ] which states: ''From time to time, a discussion about an article will have a majority of its content that, in the judgment of the community may potentially cause harm to some person or to some organization. This harm can range from invasion of privacy, libel or emotional distress. Due consideration should be given if the person or organization in question requests such blanking. In order to avoid having such text in the most recent version and thus be indexed by search engines, the debate will be blanked out of courtesy. For AfDs, the entire debate can be replaced with the afd-privacy template; the actual content remains accessible via the edit history. In more serious cases, the entire history of the page may be deleted. Courtesy blanking, history blanking or oversighting should be rare, and should be performed after due consideration is given to fairness issues.'' | |||
| Ah - that was more to do with using IRC :) I haven't used IRC in over six years and couldn't remember the conventions, and was also clueless on Misplaced Pages IRC customs. I am also fairly ignorant as to the inner technicalities of MediaWiki (which is unlikely to change) and my problem was to do with userids and historical data. It even took Tim Starling a while to figure it all out, so I didn't feel too dumb in the end. But thanks for your reply - appreciated. Cheers ] 05:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::I received the ticket, reviewed it with fair consideration, and history blanked the article. As I've said repeatedly before, the action was taken based upon information provided within the complaint. The information was credible enough to warrant the blanking.

| == Candidate question == | |||
| In one of your responses to candidate questions, you wrote this about me: "Everyking's desysopping, I believe, was more a result of the fact that he intended to publically post information that was deemed to be sensitive and private (and had been removed), rather than the place that he would have posted it. (I'm going from memory here, but I recall that he did not actually get around to posting the material)." This is false and harmful to my reputation, and I would like you to rewrite or remove it. To say that I "intended" to post the material (when I merely suggested the possibility and then declined to act on it) and that "did not actually get around to posting the material", as if I would have if I had more time, is a damaging misrepresentation of events. You are of course free to think whatever you like about my desysopping, although if you are basing your belief on such a serious misunderstanding of the situation, I would hope you'd reconsider your view. ] (]) 05:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :You're arguing semantics, and the substantive point is the same: it wasn't about where it would have been posted, it was about that you would have posted it. ]] ] 06:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::I did not post it, so what grounds do you have to say that I would have? Do people ordinarily do anything they suggest and muse about? Besides, I am not concerned about the principle of the point you are making in your candidate response, I'm concerned with the effect it has on me for people to be spreading around false impressions of events. ] (]) 06:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
