== GROND ==

Hey there. I'm the one getting the GROND stuff sorted out. The See Also thing is slightly complicated to explain. I've been working it out with the ME project: see . As you can see, it's slightly more complicated than a simple disambiguation.

I'm working on getting a source on the name of the instrument actually being a reference to Tolkien. I put it in the See Also as a temporary thing, to be fixed when the article is no longer a stub. But for now, as I said on the ME project talk, does seem to implicitly suggest that it is indeed a reference.

My plan was to try a little bit more for a source. If I fail, I was going to put it in a "other uses"; otherwise, I was going to put it into the body of the article. ] (]) 00:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

: You could contact the researcher and ask them to post an explanation, and then reference it. Sometimes you can provoke a fact to appear. ] <sup>]</sup> 02:55, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

::Thanks for the response! That was my plan, but I haven't figured out how to go about it. I couldn't easily find an example of an article citing a response from the subject. It sounds like you may have experience doing this sort of thing. Any pointers? ] (]) 03:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

::]. I put a note in the hatnote, and a reference in the note. It was the hairiest mediawiki markup I've done (nested ref bug); but I think this is viable, for now.

Eek! Jehochman, I just happened on this. I think you made a mistake. Blocking or topic banning someone who questions your judgment, in a manner that clearly indicates the block or ban is proceeding from the questioning rather than from other causes, is admin action while involved. (There is a technical issue that you haven't used privileged tools, but I don't suggest standing on that technicality, I think that Elonka nearly got creamed over that one.) I have no axe to grind here. If Pocopocopocopoco should be blocked or banned -- and it may be fortunate that I don't have an admin bit because I'd be tempted just because of the name -- then, as Risker pointed out with respect to another admin acting while involved, there are hundreds of other administrators to do the job. Please back off. If you think Pocopocopocopoco is being disruptive in questioning your decisions, then do what I'd do: go to AN/I and ask for administrative support. Maybe s/he is disruptive, maybe not, my comment here makes no presumption about that.

The issue you raise, "attacking any admin who criticizes your behavior, and then claiming that they are involved," has been specifically addressed by ArbComm, in the matter of ], which resulted in his resignation as an admin under a cloud. It is expected, to a degree, that users will "attack" an admin who criticizes and especially who blocks or otherwise hinders the editor. What is prohibited is action, by the allegedly attacked admin, arising as a consequence of the "attack," not as a result of ignoring warnings, etc. In other words, suppose you are a police officer. You say to a person, "Stop or I'll shoot!" The person says "Go to hell, you fucking idiot!" Shooting the person for saying that would be assault and certainly not a justified use of the weapon. But if the person doesn't stop, then you could shoot. (Assuming that this was, in itself, legitimate.) I'd say, looking at the page cited above, that you have acted while involved, blatantly. You may get away with it, you know how Misplaced Pages works, but I don't recommend counting on that. Just let go, and if you really think something needs to be done, ask at AN/I or follow other process like an ordinary editor. And none of this has any impact at all on your original decisions. They stand, the claim of involvement is not immediately relevant. Good luck. --] (]) 04:48, 27 February 2009

Hello sir, Im not sure if Im at the right place or not, but Im not so advanced with the procedures in Misplaced Pages. I assume you being an admin could perhaps show me the procedure on how to file a complaint against ]. He has recently insulted, scandalized and even threatened me.

:I support your action, Jehochman, of semiprotecting the article. The private page, ostensibly of the daughter, shouldn't be linked unless it has notable mention, in which case that mention would be what would be linked. The question of court documents is a little tougher. Are court documents RS? They are as to allegations; court documents show that an allegation was made by a specific named person. That's not OR. But it would be correct that facts are not established by filings, only by court decisions (arguably). But the entire topic is hot, and sensitive. How notable is it? If there is RS, that would determine it, but even then it would have to be handled very carefully.

Disclosure: I knew ] and his wife, ], quite well, I worked closely with both of them, in the late 1970s, and I have some vague memory of the daughters. I'll say this much about the daughter's testimony: it rings true, with respect to details from that time, such as the tunnels under the house, i.e., this is from someone who knew the context well; and I believe that the daughter is well-known, the document is unlikely to be a forgery. As to the alleged molestation, and mention of it in the article, that is quite another thing. I'd say we stick close to policy on BLP and RS. --] (]) 00:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Right now there are 2 major issues.
:1) One is the ] related problems which I have discussed in detail in the above discussion.

:* The original template of the article maintained till Jan 7th 2009 is lost for ever.

] in response to your comments I’ve reformatted my report and want to know dose it conform to the correct standards for future reference? I’ve no intension of re-filing it, as it has already been acted upon and the editor cautioned about 1RR as I requested.

Just one other point I’d like to draw your attention too, in your comments you seem to have the situation reversed, “''The initial report fails, and looks to me like the continuance of a content dispute on the WP:AE page.''” The report on AE actually came first, and because of the assumption of bad faith and accusations I report it on ANI so no gaming there either. Straight forward report turned into a drama. Thanks,

When in doubt, assume it is related.''”

The two reverts are:
*1st Revert .
*2nd Revert .

The edits also go against an agreed consensus on the talk page and is linked to the ] article, the result from a discussion started by ], with advice offered by ]. It was acted upon by ], who answered questions on it during a discussion on it with ].
