Gaza "Holocaust" controversy

hey, what do you think of http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2010_August_17 your input is appreciated

I've been traveling, have put my post up.Unicorn76 (talk) 23:36, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Minor edits

Your recent POV and disruptive edits to Democracy Now! and Domestic policy of Evo Morales were both marked as minor edits. This was inappropriate, since you were inserting biased/POV language that would obviously cause disagreement with other editors. Please see WP:MINOR for when it is appropriate to mark edits as minor. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 08:36, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Stop reverting without discussion, you are are the one doing{{WP: Disruptive|Disruptive}Unicorn76 (talk) 10:08, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Accusations of disruption are unnecessary and unhelpful all round. Please acknowledge that you erroneously marked two edits as minor , and use the talk page more to propose changes, with sources. If you get WP:consensus in advance for your edits, then you can complain about reversion. Rd232 10:36, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

You should be talking to JR, if there was no one replying after a reasonable legnth of time that correction is acceptible.Unicorn76 (talk) 12:09, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

WP:BURDEN: "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material." Also, it is reasonable to make a proposed edit if no-one objects, but it is unreasonable to keep reverting it without discussion when multiple people undo it subsequently. This is called edit warring. Rd232 12:27, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/UGAdawgs2010 for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. SummerPhD (talk) 01:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Unicorn76 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I read the complaint because I defend Fox News, several people are doing the same. So I don't see why I am being singled out. I have to wonder if it is more my contest the Evo Morales page. i checked UGA Dawgs page different contributions and the grammer is different not to mention I don't use profanity

Decline reason:

I am declining your request for unblock because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Misplaced Pages, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read our guide to appealing blocks for more information.  Sandstein  06:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

{{Unblock|there is no corelation to the sock puppet and me. I checked the user I am accused of being of accused of: UGA Dwags there is no similarities in any area. I check editing history no similarities. I have never replied to this Summer}}

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): There are enough similarities to raise concerns, however, at this point the CU status shows you as being likely unrelated. Beware of WP:UNDUE - especially when it comes to Fox. Editing Misplaced Pages is supposed to be congenial, and not a battleground Request handled by: (talk→ BWilkins ←track) Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

ANI

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.. I have asked an admin to officially notify you about the discretionary sanctions that cover issues related to the Israel-Palestine conflict so that you are aware of them. Sean.hoyland - talk 21:06, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd like an explanation Roland R started an altercation with me. i put on the talk page saying why I though George Galloway should have the description of anti Israeli with a link so what is the problem? thanksUnicorn76 (talk) 21:50, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Palestine-Israel enforcement decision notice

As a result of an arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, broadly understood. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.

• Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
• The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
• Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
• Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently WP:AE), or the Committee.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is only effective if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged here.--Chaser (talk) 22:51, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
