Apology

My apologies and glad to see the Usercheck outcome. I hope you can see the other side of it that given the continuing problem it is better that any potential question be cleaned away. Best wishes with your editing. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:36, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Dont worry about it. Judging by Kaufners abuse of multiple accounts, it was a prudent move. The guilty flee where no man pursues. WeldNeck (talk) 13:14, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

I'd also like to apologize. The worst side effect of long-term sockpuppet abuse is that innocent people can get rolled over by it. I'm glad to see the investigation turn out the way it did. Cheers, and happy editing.--Cúchullain /c 18:06, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Dont worry about it, its like I said it looked to be a prudent move. WeldNeck (talk) 18:08, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited No Gun Ri Massacre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page F-80 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Reverting Edits over at Deepwater Horizon

Hi. There seems to be some debate over your edits at Deepwater Horizon. Let's not have repeating reversions of edits, per the three revert rule WP:3R. There seem to be some issues on the content that we can discuss on the article's talk page. Geogene (talk) 16:54, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

"Self published crank"

Your notes in the edit summary are completely invalid. You don't get to decide who is a reliable source based on a personal opinion, and there is no valid reason to remove the notes from the 2012 inspection of the Fort Calhoun facility. This is considered POV and disruptive editing. Please see WP:RS. petrarchan47tc 00:31, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help.

Talk:Neil deGrasse Tyson

WeldNeck, I removed that last comment of yours--that brand of sarcasm is not acceptable; it's a borderline personal attack with no discernible intent toward article improvement. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:57, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

But accusing other editors of being on some grand double secret conspiracy is? WeldNeck (talk) 04:07, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Depends on whether it is directed at anyone in specific and on whether it is done in offensive language. Drmies (talk) 04:14, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Fallujah.

I saw you reverted me again by saying that I need to find better sources. And again, I tell you, provide evidence that the sources are junk. Just because you don't like them its not an enough reason to remove them. That's how Misplaced Pages works. These sources have been used by Misplaced Pages for the last eight years. One source does not trump two. Still, I am going to try and compromise with you. I have inserted BOTH points of view. This would be in line with Misplaced Pages's policy on neutrality where we don't favor one view over another. I sincerely hope you will be satisfied with that. Cheers! EkoGraf (talk) 22:00, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

LeBleu's book is a biography and its not appropriate for a claim like this and Scahill's book is a polemic. WeldNeck (talk) 02:25, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

That does not exclude them as sources. Misplaced Pages is clear on this that we need to stick to a neutral point of view per which all views need to be presented. I tried to compromise with you. At this point I am obliged to advise you against further reverts of my edits because you made three full reverts already on the page. With a fourth you would break Misplaced Pages's WP: 3RR rule which can get you blocked. Fair warning. I really hoped we could discuss this and find a compromise. EkoGraf (talk) 09:35, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

EkoGraf was right when proposed you compromise because if you continue just reverts editings which he made you just will be punished for provoking the war of editings. And administrators can either just block you for a long period or even put for you the ban on the editing of all articles related to the war in Iraq. Therefore, a compromise that offers EkoGraf be the best solution in this situation. Regards! Hanibal911 (talk) 12:27, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Please stop

The edits you've been making at GSL are WP:DE. If you look at the talk page history from the past few weeks, you'll see we've worked together to get past stuff like "pejorative" and we sure don't need someone stirring up the pot calling others "hoplophobes." Lightbreather (talk) 22:00, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Your edit summary is considered WP:UNCIVIL, as you seem to be using the term hoplophobe in a derisive manner. Darknipples (talk) 22:14, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

An Sock puppet investigation concerning Cultural Marxism Deletion

] This investigation has been started to investigate RGloucester and suspected sock or meat puppet Jobrot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.15.36 (talk) 12:59, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

FYI I reverted someone impersonating me on this page by posting one of my old messages/signatures. Chillum 23:59, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Blocked for sock puppetry

Per our sock puppet policy undisclosed alternative accounts are not to be used in discussions internal to the project. Logging out to file a complaint against another user qualifies as such. It is clear from your knowledge of events that take place well prior to your edit history that you have prior history here. It is also clear you are using more than one IP to edit war and act disruptively at Draft talk:Cultural Marxism.

If you wish to appeal this block please log into your regular account to do so. Chillum 17:48, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

• Response to above paranoid schizophrenic behavior. Not an account holder nor am I a boggy man and never made any claim to be a new user so that makes you a liar as well. It seems your paranoid behavior has led to a knee jerk paranoid action. Sorry but that is the truth that you cannot handle. Hey go ahead and range block, as it a cellular IP you will only block a few million of a major provider. It would be another ignorant but predictable move. Your online friend also salted the well laid out SPI investigation about an obvious sock or meat puppet of RGlouchester and a brand new account Jobrot. Don't worry I saved it and will post elsewhere as more evidence of you get what you pay for which is not much when it is free. Interesting cultish behavior where without any evidence you make false accusation and attempt to bury well founded evidence. Keep up living in your little world of make believe. More evidence that project is failing to come close to its stated goal. Thanks for the evidence and your behavior is a bit rich. 172.56.15.217 (talk) 23:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

::Your use of the new IP for block evasion and impersonating me on several talk pages is very telling. Chillum 00:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

• Outsmarting a paranoid schizophrenic is quite easy and if you link my edits to other edits with a similar IP you will see I have been editing for years so your paranoid behavior is just that. I have been fighting spam, promotional articles, COI, and unprofessional admins for years and quite successfully. Sorry I have to call out unsophisticated foolish behavior but you did it to yourself Chillum. And again no one impersonated you, they just reposted you elsewhere to highlight your paranoid behavior. 172.56.6.142 (talk) 08:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

@Chillum: (and @Mike V: as well I suppose), could someone please tell me what the fuck is going on? That would be great. WeldNeck (talk) 15:18, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

You are welcome to ignore this IP who has been posted messages with my signature to other people's talk pages. The message I have struck out was from me to the IP on another page from another day, they though it would be funny to switch IPs and post it on a bunch of random talk pages. I suggest you revert and ignore any future attempts to impersonate me. Sorry if this was concerning to you. Chillum 16:33, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for the heads up. WeldNeck (talk) 16:43, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
