| ==I thought this was unkind== | |||
| Any administrator reviewing this user's unblock request should first make sure they are acquainted with , as well as the history of the articles ] and , which the user has blanked. The user has a history of disruption and edit warring in the ] article going back over six months, and was given a blunt warning during this most recent spate of disruption that further edit warring would lead to an extended block. Feel free to contact me on my talk page or in this space if you have any questions. | |||
| Please don't refer to the things I write as "chatter." It is demeaning and rude, especially after, in the RfC, I had ''specifically'' explained that I found that rude when Dbachmann did it earlier. Second, please try to keep your comments on all talk pages and RfCs focused on the matter at hand and refrain from bringing up unrelated matters or old vendettas. This RfC is not about Deeceevoice, it is about many users who feel they have been treated with no respect by Dbachmann, including myself. I found your interjection off topic and unhelpful. If you ''do'' have something to add, can you do it in such a way that's more calm and constructive? I'm also letting you know that you made me angry, but I'm trying to be non-confrontational about it. ] (]) 12:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ==ArbCom== | |||
| Justforasecond: do not blank this notice, or I will protect this talk page from editing. Regards, ] 12:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| I have filed a case , I just listed myself an Dbachmann as the involved parties, because I was unsure how to do it, if you would also like to be listed as an involved party and make a statement, please feel free to add your name and statement. ] 20:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Hi Justforasecond, I noticed that you opposed my arbitration candidacy on the basis that, as I'm a checkuser ombudsperson, I "monitor arbcom" and this would create a conflict of interest. I'm just a bit confused about this - because I said in my candidate statement that if it was felt that it would be a COI to hold the two roles I would gladly step down as an ombudsperson. ] 22:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| I'm not so sure I should get involved, but here it goes anyway. My experience with {{user|Justforasecond}} isn't exactly positive. I have found him to be at times and unwilling to accept that his approach to the ] article is not entirely one of good faith. Yet, 1 month seems pretty harsh. ] 13:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Pascal, the Allen article needs citations, for reasons I've explained already. This is why the "unreferenced" tag is there. BTW '''his approach is not entirely one of good faith''' borders on violation of AGF. ] 15:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I think you might be a bit confused about the role of the ombudsperson. They don't actually have anything to do with the arbitration committee or blocking - their only role is to investigate complaints about CheckUser data being disclosed in breach of the privacy policy. ] 08:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : If Justforasecond will acknowledge that he understands why this block has been applied, apologize for his disruption, and promise not to do it again, I am willing to reduce the block substantially. ] 14:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :: I just wanted to offer an opinon. Yes, a month is a long block, but a pattern of disruptive behavior is a serious problem and must be dealt with, using long blocks if neccessary. In this case, I believe Nandesuka has given reasonable justification for the block. The offer to shorten the block upon a show of good faith also seems quite reasonable to me- it drives home the point that blocks are for damage control, not for punishment. ] ] 14:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :I've read the policy on vandalism. None of my edits are vandalism. | |||
| :Blanking my talk page is not vandalism, I did it so you guys could find this template. Every other user I found on the "unblock request" page had very short talk pages. | |||
| :My edits to Kwanzaa are also not vandalism. They are also not disruption. I've read the disruption policy. | |||
| :If you look at the history, you'll see this is a conflict between multiple users, including: jpgordon, killerchihuahua, coyep, deeceevoice, spookfish, centrx, anons.. This is a legitimate edit. It is verifiable, encyclopedic info -- that the founder of Kwanzaa is a convicted torturer, not merely an "activist". | |||
| :I don't see any reason why, if this block is valid, you don't follow the normal procedure -- RfC, RfAr, etc. | |||
| :] 15:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| For starters, keep in mind that AfD isn't a numerical vote; consensus is based upon editors bringing up reasons according to Misplaced Pages guidelines for a keep or delete. In this case, the reasons to keep the article were primarily based upon predictions that it ''may'' become a long-lasting news item of notability, which isn't an acceptable reason (] applies here, among other reasons). Perhaps more importantly, though, the ] article paralleled the same content while focusing on the larger (and more notable) issue, drawing in all parties involved; keeping both articles would just duplicate information. | |||
| :: As an uninvolved admin, I have revewed the block and endorse it. Regardless of whether or your claims about Kwanzaa should be in the article, the fact is that you have repeatedly edit warred and gone against consensus often in a disruptive fashion. Your block is fully justified. Hopefully when you return you will be more willing/able to work with other editors. ] 16:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| You can bring up the issue at Deletion Review if you disagree; I won't take it personally. I would instead suggest focusing on working on the Baltimore article, however, as there's not a need to have two articles with the same content. Cheers, ] (]) 22:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == jpgordon == | |||
| :::: Given the number of admins who have examined this page and concurred with the block, perhaps you should take this opportunity to reflect upon your behavior and ask yourself how you can improve it to avoid episodes such as this in the future, rather than simply deciding that you are being oppressed by your enemies. Regards, ] 16:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Ok so I came to your page and I changed the retired thing cause it was totaly misleading! I also explaned that on your talk page I think nicely... but that jpgordon guy came to my page to tell me not to do that! WTF i figure if you had a problem with it you would have said so, it's not like I blanked all your info!!! Plus what buisness is it of his anyway... well I thought I would let you know it seems he has a personal vendeta against you... cool!!! I can't seem to get under people's skin that much (yet!) but I think my latest comment will get me blackballed! LOL ] (]) 16:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::::: So a revert I made in April (which to be blunt, I had no recall of) and a comment you made in an arbcom case (also, from a while ago and for that matter a comment I had no recall of) somehow makes me involved now? I would tentatively suggest that this is not a productive attitude. ] 17:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| This block was amply justified in my opinion. I would not support unblocking at all based on Justforasecond's subsequent behavior here alone. Justforasecond should make good use of this time out and re-think his method of contributing to the project. ] 16:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :I'm going to endorse the block as well, but let me say a few things. (1) No, Justforasecond, you weren't vandalizing, I agree. (2) Nonetheless you were being disruptive. You made controversial edits repeatedly to ] while ''knowing'' the consensus was against you. If you believe you are still right despite consensus against you, there are proper ways of doing things and improper ways. See ] for some positive and effective ways of dealing with disputes. I am uninvolved in the Kwanzaa article dispute; notheless you must accept that the result of this dispute might not be in your favor, and at some point you'd be beating a dead horse, and only disrupting things by continuing the discussion. ]]<sup>]</sup> 17:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::I've read the ] article and I don't see how it applies. Not for a MONTH in any case. It's also worth looking at the recent edit history on the article.

| *Actually, no. If the talk page has established a consensus and one person keeps changing to defy that consensus, then only that person is "edit warring": the others are reverting. As for whether all sides are equally guilty, the ArbCom members will look at the edits and make up their own minds. However, reversion of vandalism, for example, is not part of 3RR and not part of edit warring, and returning an article to the position with 90% approval by all editors on the article isn't, either.

| == Block disputed == | |||
| I have seen no edits which appear to be vandalism - if that claim can be justified it should be. If not, it should be withdrawn. Reviewing the edits noted I've seen minor incivility and edit warring (both from and ''to'' this user), but nothing that I'd consider significant disruption or worthy of a one month block. Various people who have cited 'dispute resolution' are correct... except that this was not just the proper cource for Justforasecond to follow, but also what those disagreeing with him should have done. Complaining, placing false 'vandalism warnings', and making lengthy blocks are definitely '''not''' accepted forms of 'dispute resolution'. This appears to be nothing more than a content dispute - with a block placed on one user on the grounds that their idea of the appropriate content does not have consensus. Even assuming that to be correct... it is not a blockable offense and calling it 'disruption' is a nice way of saying, 'blocks can be placed for continually advancing an opinion admins do not like'. Is there something more here? Actual vandalism to justify the claims of such? Personal attacks or incivility greater than the user has ''received'' to justify claims of disruption? If not I will unblock and push this towards dispute resolution... as it seemingly ought to have been. --] 18:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == June 2014 == | |||
| It appears that KillerChihuahua and Nandesuka may know each other, and that KillerChihuahua enlisted Nandesuka's assistance in blocking me to gain the upper hand in a content dispute, then reinforced this block with his "review" of the issue.

| == Realities of the situation == | |||
| Should admins be able to call things 'vandalism' when they aren't? No. Should they be able to declare one side of an edit war 'correct' and block the other? No. Should they be able to place month long blocks for slow motion edit warring? No. | |||
| ARE they able to do these things? For all practical purposes... yes. And far more. Slap a 'disruptive' label on it or say 'exhausting community patience' and admins can (and do) pretty much whatever they like. They generally only face trouble if their actions offend other admins or are egregious examples of abusing people who are completely innocent. You ''were'' edit warring and your Kwanzaa edits ''were'' POV/phrased to denigrate the founder... ergo not 'completely innocent' and most admins would (indeed '''did''') fully endorse blocking you on any available pretext. Very few admins are bothered about harsh treatment of users who have been labeled 'troublemakers' by other admins. | |||
| Is this fair? Of course not, but that's the world. However, that doesn't mean that you are prevented from contributing info which is 'unpopular'. When people object take it seriously and come up with a way of rephrasing and providing references which addresses the concerns. For instance, in this case ''you'' were criticizing Karenga and Kwanzaa with your phrasing... and thus putting Misplaced Pages in the position of doing so. People objected that this was an attack / POV and they were correct. However, you doubtless learned about that information because notable conservative commentators have levelled those same criticisms. Citing criticism by noteworthy people is 'neutral point of view' and otherwise complies with Misplaced Pages's policies. You might have had better luck with something like, 'Some conservative commentators who criticize Kwanzaa, such as Pat Robertson (link to source) and Sean Hannity (link to source), have stated that Karenga spent time in prison for felony assault and was evaluated for mental stability a few years after founding the celebration.' Same information, but presented as views of noteworthy individuals rather than stated as if the view of 'Misplaced Pages' itself. Now people still might have reverted that, and it looks like you did cite some of this on the talk page, but you'd have a stronger case for it being notable and compliant with Wiki policies. Some sort of wording which covered the same facts could probably have been ironed out. I know you are staying away from the Kwanzaa article (thank you), but the same principle applies in other situations. The more work you put into following the protocols (note, ''following'' not '''citing''' - that generally just annoys people) and remaining scrupulously polite the harder it is for admins to find an excuse to block you. A hassle, but certainly less so than the alternative. --] 16:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for the comment CBD. I had actually planned to create a section called "articles criticizing kwanzaa", but, I don't believe this would have been acceptable to certain editors. There did used to be a section labeled "criticism" that contained information that critics included in their articles about Kwanzaa. It was removed -- I believed the edit summary was "removed bullcrap criticism section", and later recreated as "controversy". Well the article has progressed in one dimension -- it used to have a section about how George Washington owned slaves. Here's how the criticism section used to look: | |||
| <blockquote> | |||
| ::''Criticisms | |||
| ::''In the United States, Kwanzaa is often linked with the ancient religious holidays Christmas and Chanukah, both of which also fall in December. Some Christian and Jewish leaders have complained about having the two festivals equated with a celebration that dates back less than four decades. They argue that this has been caused by misguided attempts at political correctness. | |||
| ::''Other criticisms center on Karenga’s criminal record, including time spent in jail for felonious assault and false imprisonment, which some people feel detract from the celebratory nature of the event. Kwanzaa supporters counter that there is nothing wrong with a celebration focusing on African American cultural values centered around family and community, that Kwanzaa is not a body of “faith” in the religious sense. They also note that Kwanzaa does not honor Karenga; he merely originated the holiday. There are holidays honoring far worse, they argue, pointing to the existence of Presidents’ Day, a federal holiday set aside to honor, among others, President George Washington, a plantation owner who owned, bought and sold African slaves. | |||

I thought this was unkind
Please don't refer to the things I write as "chatter." It is demeaning and rude, especially after, in the RfC, I had specifically explained that I found that rude when Dbachmann did it earlier. Second, please try to keep your comments on all talk pages and RfCs focused on the matter at hand and refrain from bringing up unrelated matters or old vendettas. This RfC is not about Deeceevoice, it is about many users who feel they have been treated with no respect by Dbachmann, including myself. I found your interjection off topic and unhelpful. If you do have something to add, can you do it in such a way that's more calm and constructive? I'm also letting you know that you made me angry, but I'm trying to be non-confrontational about it. futurebird (talk) 12:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Justforasecond, I noticed that you opposed my arbitration candidacy on the basis that, as I'm a checkuser ombudsperson, I "monitor arbcom" and this would create a conflict of interest. I'm just a bit confused about this - because I said in my candidate statement that if it was felt that it would be a COI to hold the two roles I would gladly step down as an ombudsperson. Rebecca 22:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- I think you might be a bit confused about the role of the ombudsperson. They don't actually have anything to do with the arbitration committee or blocking - their only role is to investigate complaints about CheckUser data being disclosed in breach of the privacy policy.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Sarah Kreager
For starters, keep in mind that AfD isn't a numerical vote; consensus is based upon editors bringing up reasons according to Misplaced Pages guidelines for a keep or delete. In this case, the reasons to keep the article were primarily based upon predictions that it may become a long-lasting news item of notability, which isn't an acceptable reason (WP:NOT#NEWS applies here, among other reasons). Perhaps more importantly, though, the Baltimore bus beating article paralleled the same content while focusing on the larger (and more notable) issue, drawing in all parties involved; keeping both articles would just duplicate information.
You can bring up the issue at Deletion Review if you disagree; I won't take it personally. I would instead suggest focusing on working on the Baltimore article, however, as there's not a need to have two articles with the same content. Cheers, Tijuana Brass (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:House_armed_services_committee.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:House_armed_services_committee.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC).

Please be advised that if you resume edit warring on that article, I will reinstate the suspended block. Nandesuka (talk) 02:43, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Theresa Carpinelli
The article Theresa Carpinelli has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not notable. Even if Misplaced Pages issue she wrote about was notable, that doesn't make a small-town radio host and blogger notable.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
