| The case was originally filed based on the actions of editors involved in the Starwood links issue. A second issue involving a dispute at ] was added in the evidence phase in the belief that it was a continuation of the same alleged harassment. However, the two cases have very little overlap. Arbitrator Fred Bauder has decided to consider only the Starwood matter at this time. I have trimmed the workshop page to remove material related to the Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism matter. That matter may be placed before the arbitration committee at any time by filing a separate ]. If the case is accepted, evidence and analysis may be copied from the page history and used there. Thank you. For the arbitration committee, ] 01:53, 28 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ==Request for action== | |||
| Hello, I understand that you are tired and frustrated at dealing with Paul but wikipedia needs you to take his case to whatever the next step is. Before I make my argument for why you need to do this, please read the following message that our dear friend left on Darcy's talk page after he was banned for 3RRR:<br /> | |||
| "Sir you blocked me for 24 hrs as violating 3rr. Please see does the 4 reverts comes within 24 hrs . The fourth revert is made after 10 minutes after the duration exceeded. The guideline says "An editor must not perform '''more than three reversions, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24 hour period'''. Any editor who breaches the rule may be blocked from editing." Then on what conscience you blocked me. - Д|Ж|Д 19:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)"<br /> | |||
| Basically, he waited till 24 hours were up and then sneaked in his now infamous pov. However, his message tells us two things:<br /> | |||
| i) We are facing someone far far far more patient and determined than us.<br /> | |||
| ii) He is able to research the rules and try and make them work for him.<br /> | |||
| In many ways, we already knew this as it fits his method of "discussion." Even after all of your and many, many other editors work (Venus/Parthi, Fowler, etc.) he has managed to sneak in the mention of a religion that many of us are not even sure is a religion (forget about significance) in dozens of articles. Yet, I am willing to bet that 90% of the Indians you will ask on wikipedia (including ones from Tamil Nadu) would have never heard of this religion. It is almost like the religion is being invented on Misplaced Pages. This is wrong and it must be stopped. You are the ideal choice to lead the "cleansing" as you not only have the experience needed on this matters but also have dealt with him often enough. I hope you agree!--] 03:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : I am glad you agreed! I will help in whatever way I can. --] 19:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Hmm I have actually not had that much direct interaction with him but have seen what many others have said and done. After following your discussion with him, I could not think of one thing I could have said that would make him understand. Similarly, I have seen few other respected editors waste lot of time on the matter too. Basically, I have more of an overview of what has been happening and it has become clear to me that we need something more official. I will try and find out all the people he has had conflicts with and send you links sometime tomorrow night (Europe timezone). --] 20:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Parthi beat me to it. Please look for his/her post at my talk page regarding Paul's edits. I will try and make a list of articles in en Misplaced Pages where he has been prolific.--] 10:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :: The argument usually put forward by Paul Raj/Vaikunda Raja goes something like this: '1.Ayyavazhi is a religion. See the couple of University papers. 2. It is notable. See the news reports of local holidays declared by the Tamil Nadu Government. 3. It is a separate religion because the founder/prophet (Vaikunda sami) said so, eventhough most of the followers consider themselves no different from Hindus.' Trying to make him understand the notion of undue weight is a futile exercise. It is next to impossible to find an independent source for the existance of this religion, as 99% of the hits are from Misplaced Pages or one of its numerous mirrors. ''The Hindu'', the most respected broadsheet from Tamil Nadu, does not have any mention of this religion : , , , - ] <sup><em>]/]</em></sup> 22:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ⚫ | Dear BostonMA, | ||
| Dear Parthi, You noted 'impossible to find an independent source' relaed to Ayyavazhi. Are you telling the university papers are dependent to Ayyavazhi? Then the online sources. It was really too bad compared to offline, related to Ayyavazhi. But offline sources are also valid. - ''']]] <sub>Paul</sub>|]''' 23:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| I'm a little scared off by your immediate statement that you think your advice might be taken as criticism. I certainly have had plenty of that, and little recognition of the work I've done to make things right. However, if it's constructive criticism, I'd welcome it, of course. At least you have occasionally supported a point or two that I've made when you thought I had a valid one. But please don't take offense if it turns out I disagree with your criticism; I promise to be respectful of your opinion nonetheless. ] 02:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| which if examined is seen to fall into the category of libelous to a living biography. | |||
| I removed the link but an editor has put it back in. The website that is negative is self-published by the author who created it. He uses very strong statements that seem unbalanced. Do I have the right to remove it again? Somehow I think I do, but am feeling a little intimidated and wanted to confirm. | |||
| : Well, it's a mixed bag. 1. I don't think I can stop posting on the arbcom case, since there seems to be no one to defend me anymore who hasn't been blocked or scared away, and one arbitrator seems to already have decided to ban me indefinitely. 2. The only edits I've made for a while to Starwood have been to reduce the lists (and keep the column lengths even). If no one tries to vandalize it with mentions of Satanism or something, I don't have any plans to do anything else for now. 3. As for Mattisse, I know you feel a need to be her protector for some reason. I have said before and I'll say again; if she stops trying to make trouble for me, I'm happy to leave her past behavior in the past. But she keeps weighing in on other talk pages with fresh encouragement to people to act against me. 4. As to my "allies" as you put it, I don't have anything to say anymore about all this checkuser and sockpuppet stuff; it's gone beyond my ability to even follow the conversation from a technical standpoint. 5. You'll have to explain why you think it's a good idea for me not to defend myself. Are YOU going to defend me? When I see misrepresentations of what happened posted there, if I don't object, am I not sunk? | |||
| SSS108 recently recommended I call upon you if need some help. I am not new to Misplaced Pages though have not until recently seen what goes on behind the scenes. I like to help TimidGuy who has been trying to improve on the level of accuracy Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's biography. The other editors did allow some libelous material in the biography itself to be cut out, but they seem to feel that libelous material in a link is ok, although they do acknowledge it is a very negative link. Somehow I disagree--links also to a living biography should be balanced and not so somewhat deranged sounding as is the case with ]. | |||
| As to editing something else, I'm not sure what other fields I have expertise in enough to contribute. I didn't get into this because I love to edit; I wanted to write articles about people and things I knew about that weren't already there, and improve ones that are there. I want to contribute both to my community AND to Misplaced Pages. In most of my other interests, there are already people who know more than I do editing those articles. And I certainly don't want to become one of these bastards who seem to think that tearing apart other people's work is the same as a creative act. ] 04:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

If a link to a living biography is libellous, can it be deleted?
Dear BostonMA,
On page http://en.wikipedia.org/Maharishi_Mahesh_Yogi there is a link near the end of the page Falling Down the TM Rabbit Hole Criticism of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and TM by a former TM teacher which if examined is seen to fall into the category of libelous to a living biography.
I removed the link but an editor has put it back in. The website that is negative is self-published by the author who created it. He uses very strong statements that seem unbalanced. Do I have the right to remove it again? Somehow I think I do, but am feeling a little intimidated and wanted to confirm.
SSS108 recently recommended I call upon you if need some help. I am not new to Misplaced Pages though have not until recently seen what goes on behind the scenes. I like to help TimidGuy who has been trying to improve on the level of accuracy Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's biography. The other editors did allow some libelous material in the biography itself to be cut out, but they seem to feel that libelous material in a link is ok, although they do acknowledge it is a very negative link. Somehow I disagree--links also to a living biography should be balanced and not so somewhat deranged sounding as is the case with Falling Down the TM Rabbit Hole Criticism of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and TM by a former TM teacher.
