== socionics article ==


'''Hello!'''
A user who edits ] named Tcaudilllg is threatening to go to arbcom to get his sole way with the socionics article. He seems to be avoiding posting credible sources and has resorted to telling white lies, such as saying that leigitimate portions and methods in the theory are 'fringe', in order to remove information he does not want in the article and get only what he wants in the article. He has also resorted to a number of personal attacks when he does not get his way with the article. He has also been makeing insistance reverts to the article that are unnecessary and for reasons that are insufficent for wikipedias standards, such as using making 'personal attacks' against another editor as a reason to remove articles in the headline. He has also been removing information that is sufficently sourced according to wikipedias standards.

== A selfish plea ==


]
Welcome back &mdash; I'm sorry that I'm dropping in so soon after your break, but time presses. I noticed that you had resumed editing, and I'm here to encourage you to un-withdraw from the WMC/Abd arbitration case, seeing as the proposed decision staged has dragged on right through your time away. While I'm normally strongly opposed to last-minute changes to arbitration case panels (and have noted so explicitly at ]), I feel that this is a special circumstance. For one thing, you were involved in the case throughout its duration, up to the point of proposing and voting on several of the case findings &mdash; you wouldn't be coming at the matter 'cold'. For another, Vassyana's sudden (to those of us on enwiki, at least) appearance so soon before close may seriously alter the remedies adopted; I feel that your resumed participation would balance somewhat the irregularity of his actions.


] '''Administrator changes'''
I realize that I've dropped a lot of stuff on the Committee in a short time, and I'll be leaving sometime tomorrow for a long weekend, so I won't even be here to suffer through the mess I'm likely to cause. I apologize for explicitly making an attempt to drag you back in, but I hope that your participation will encourage the Committee to follow through with my request to resolve the choice of conflicting remedies in a transparent manner. ](]) 03:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

It was a pleasure to meet, eat and converse with you and your husband at the Nashville meetup. This was my first Wiki-meetup, and I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but I had a great time!

Your flagrant disregard for our most basic values and core policies is disheartening. Encouraging packs of editors to harass, stalk and intimidate those they disagree with is very damaging to Misplaced Pages. You’ve turned your back on assuming good faith and encouraging collegial discussion to resolve disputes. Your actions have done a lot to encourage incivility and you’ve lent support to censorship and thuggish mob behavior. I hold you personally responsible for your role in condoning these grotesque and abusive actions.

* Project news: '']''
==Re:Evidence presented by Shell Kinney==
* Articles: '']''
I am moving my reply here since Shelly may not appreciate us turning her page into an OT discussion. My replies:
* Book review: '']''
* "was violating policy by coordinating ways to get your groups pov edits in an article" - discussing how to create content is not against policy...? And I believe the emails, if real, should show that we were paying respect to ], ] and such, and not pushing some undue pov...? I hope our dedication to creating encyclopedic, neutral content will be taken under consideration.
* Op-ed: '']''
* "there were many instances of coordinating who could revert in order to not have one user violated 1RR and get blocked or banned" - avoiding getting banned is nothing wrong, I'd think - of course, as long as it doesn't include variously defined "gaming the system"? I did and do support reduction of reverting (which of course reduces the chances of editors getting banned for obvious reasons - I don't think that giving advice to revert less is gaming the system?). I also strongly believe that blind reverts are bad, and proper reverts imply an editor understands the issue in question (which usually involves reading the article and joining the discussion). I also believe that under the above assumptions it is ok to discuss content with editors who trust, based on past experience, not to be blind reverters. At the very least I can say that this is what I expected from others, and this is what I always did before reverting myself. As promised, I can discuss details of what was said (and whether it was said) in individual emails in a more private venue.
</div>
* "The discussions about ways to get around article editing restrictions far out number the internal discussion about why someone's on site edits were problematic." - I find this surprising (although I was not following and/or participating in every single discussion we had). I'd like to point out that discussing, let's say, security of certain piece a software doesn't make one a cracker. In fact, I am pretty sure I used some of our discussion to make public recommendations on how to improve the functioning of this project (]).
|-
* "In particular, any discussion about ways to manipulate the admins that work AE is going to get close scrutiny." Good, admins shouldn't let themselves be manipulated :) I don't believe we ever attempted to manipulate / mislead / lie to anybody on the project, but only discussed how to properly air our grievances in the increasingly more complex and bureaucratic (and not always functioning perfectly) wiki dispute resolution environment. Again, I'd be happy to discuss content of specific emails (and/or diff-based incidents) in a more private venue.

::When someone send a message saying "User Smith is edit warring at ].

If two other mailing list members revert once each and then Smith is blocked for 3RR, is that only Smith's fault or is it improper coordination?

:::Perhaps, although comments from the parties may fall along the partisan lines; I am not sure how to avoid that. Looking at your example, it is an interesting case. What was the intention of the poster? Obviously, s/he didn't want to revert more him/herself, which is, '']'', commendable. Did that person expect others to join in reverting? Did they? Did that person expect others to read the article/discussion/sources before reverting? Is there any indication they did? Was it a call-to-arms or an invitation to discussion - both of which can be phrased the same but have different effects depending on members of the forum it is addressed to. Which parties joined the talk discussion and tried to reach some sort of compromise, who if anybody displayed ]? And let's not forget to look at User:Smith - was s/he edit warring? Were his/her edits potentially constructive (or vandal-like, ex. removing referenced text)?

== ID ==

Hi Flo. I remember seeing a conservation about verifying a person's ID, and think I remember you posting in the thread. I don't recall which page; to be honest, I'm lucky I can find my way back to my own page at the moment. Anyway, I did have my real life identity verified through the Citizendium process a while back. I know this is not required yet, but I don't mind being early getting mine in just so I don't have to worry about it in the future. Also, I had sent other personal information (phone, location, etc.) to 2 admins. here with regards to ] back when we developed those guidelines. ], and ]. During my RfA I also volunteered some of the same personal info to ]. I can also type up an email and forward to you as well with the same info if that would be of assistance. To be honest, I have no problem divulging the info to any established administrator, arb, crat, or steward in good standing. If a photo of my drivers license would be of benefit - I have no problem sending that along as well. I realize that these things are far and away from being requested at this point in time, and I also realize that much of the community would be against it. I personally have no opinion either way - but am willing to do so ''only'' in regards to myself. You are fully free to request any additional info, and forward any information to any area of the WMF which would be relevant. Thanks for you time.

:Ok, I'll keep that in mind. It is interesting that people have such varying opinions about identifying themselves. I'm signed my name to emails on public lists and private correspondence since 2005 when I started editing. For me it is an issue of accountability. My name is pretty unique so I'm easy to find and verify based on my comments on site. So, I would've had no problem with identifying from the start. But requiring identification for all editors would drastically change the nature of the project. The question is whether it would be for the good or would it stifle wiki editing to the point that it withers. ]] 08:35, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
::It's an interesting question. I think if all editors were required to submit verified ID that was posted ''publicly'', we would have fewer editors but they would be a lot nicer to each other. This would also curtail sockpuppeting, admins with second accounts, and all the other current evils of the world, but not prevent them entirely. ] 13:33, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

:::Well, I realize that "editor" will likely never be requested to do this, but "admin" has come under a lot of fire as of late. I personally have no problems standing up to my efforts here (or anywhere else on the web) and saying: "This is who I am, and this is what I said". Although I'll admit to making a boo-boo once or twice. ;) — <small><span style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>]</b> : ]</span></small> 16:38, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Playing devil's advocate here - I guess we want to be careful not to further widen the gulf between admin. and editor - I think we want to narrow that gap. ... just thinking out-loud. — <small><span style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>]</b> : ]</span></small> 17:28, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello FloNight, I hope that you are well this morning. On October 2 I sent an email to arbcom-l-at-lists.wikimedia.org and I was wondering, if it wouldn't be much trouble, if you could verify receipt of the message and that everything is on the up and up (so to speak)?

'''Tip of the month:'''

:Adding: I don't think this matters much in the overall picture, but as she knew at the time he was an ArbCom-ban-evading-sock, that is technically abusing the tools. As I stated in the header, merely a quibble. ]<small><sup>]</sup>]</small> 19:47, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
::I knew that when I wrote my comment. I think giving rollback to him is part of the same issue rather than a general misunderstanding about who should get the special tool. I was attempting to make the distinction between the stuff related to this incident and a pattern of misusing delete, protection, or blocking, or a general misunderstanding of policy. I'll tweak the wording to make it more clear. ]] 08:24, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
