Hello. First of all, I wanted to say I'm really sorry for my wrongdoings. Second, the two users keep reverting my edits for "Nurburgring".

:PhilKnight, you suggested on my appeal that I should be perhaps banned for one month. Please tell me, on what basis do you think such a ban is warranted? Please point to what specific things you think I said or did that were in violation of Misplaced Pages guidelines that would warrant such a lengthy ban, or any ban whatsoever. It seems to me you based this judgment on the comments of others, but as I have already demonstrated, there have been numerous demonstrably false claims made, including by Amatulic. So I would like to hear from you, if you are going to suggest such a ban remain for such a long period of time, what it is you think would warrant it.
::Okay. Thank you. And again, I'm sorry. ] (]) 18:05, 2 January 2025 (UTC)


== Hello!!! ==
:I'm willing to respect and submit to your judgment, so long as you are willing to actually examine this case against me, which I maintain is wholly spurious. To take just one example, Amatulic claimed I went "shopping" for an admin to support my position on the use of the "editprotected" template. That is absolutely false, as I've already demonstrated in my appeal. I am asking for your help. Please assist in this appeal. You're an uninvolved editor, and I will respect and submit to whatever final judgment you arrive at. All I'm asking you to do in return is to examine the arguments for the ban honestly, and learn the actual facts about it, because this ban has been placed on my based upon entirely spurious pretexts, and I am confident I can demonstrate that fact to you if you are willing to compare the claims with the actual facts of the matter. ] (]) 07:53, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

::: I don't understand. You said this edit was "problematic". How so? In what way is requesting editors to state their positions on proposed edits and state their objections, if any, "problematic"? That is precisely how the page on the use of the "editprotected" template states it should be used. So please explain why you find this "problematic".

::: Next, what are you referring to when you say I was advised my approach was wrong? Nobody ever advised me that stating my intent to use the template if there were no objections was "wrong", and I don't believe it was. I presume you are referring to Amatulic's interpretation of how the template should be used? Yet, there is nothing in the guidelines on the usage of the template that supports his interpretation, and a different admin had already told me that so long as a reasonable time had passed and there were still no objections, the edit could be made! Then along came Amatulic, applying a different standard, which I found to be an unreasonable one. If editors are given a reasonable period of time to state objections, and no objections are made, then there is no reason not to implement a requested edit, particularly not one as completely uncontroversial as the one I proposed, which was:

::: Completely uncontroversial in that it quotes directly from the actual UNEF mandate itself, instead of paraphrasing a third-party source mischaracterizing what that actual mandate was. This would be an improvement to the article, if it were implemented. I would remind you of the whole purpose and intend of Misplaced Pages guidelines, which is summed up by ]: ''If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Misplaced Pages, ignore it.''

::: Next, you point me to ], which defines such editing as "Tendentious editing is editing which is partisan, biased or skewed taken as a whole. It does not conform to the neutral point of view, and fails to do so at a level more general than an isolated comment that was badly thought out." I interpret this to mean edits made to articles, not comments on the Talk page. Yet ''I have not edited the Six Day War article, nor could I if I wanted to, because it is under protection.'' So I fail to see how it applies.

::: Even if I were to agree with you that this applies to comments made on the Talk page, in what way have any of my posts or suggested edits been "tendentious"? In what way were any of my posts "partisan, biased or skewed"? In what way did any of my posts "not conform to the neutral point of view"? Do you find the above suggested edit, for example, to be "tendentious"? Please explain.

::: Thanks for your time. Like I said, if I've done something against policy, I'm willing to accept the ban, but I need to know what it was, specifically, that I've done that was in violation of policy. I can't very well not to it again if I don't know what it was I did wrong in the first place. ] (]) 02:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

::::Until now, I was arguing that an indefinite ban was going too far. However, based on the above, I'm no longer convinced. Just because you keep arguing, doesn't mean you are right.

::::::I have to agree with JRHammond here. WGFinley's ban, if you read the words, apply to the article and its talk page.

As for the contention that I'm "gaming the system" (or "close to" it), I would point out that the whole purpose and intent of all Misplaced Pages policy guidelines is summarized by ], which states: ''If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Misplaced Pages, ignore it.'' I've been commenting on talk pages for the purpose of improving the article (and I haven't broken any rules in doing so, anyways).

== You are mistaking ==

Hi Phil, all my topic ban violation blocks (3 of them) were posted not because I was disruptive (I was not, one statement I got blocked for was found to be helpful by at least 2 admins), but simply because my personal blocking admin believed I violated my topic ban. Having said that I am not asking you to change your opinion about blocking the user. I am glad the user will not get blocked after all, as I specified at his talk page. So please threat my message as a general message about topic ban enforcement. Regards.--] (]) 17:21, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

I have filed a mediation request on a policy matter concerning a contentious topic, specifically ] as it relates to the guideline ] .

Would you mind taking a look at it and consider filling that role? Or perhaps suggest someone who might? ] (]) 18:04, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
:Ah! I just now saw that you commented on the request to block one of the participants in this mediation request, ]. Given my experience with this topic, it might be problematic for you to accept my request. I asked because you were not involved in any other mediation at the moment. Could you recommend someone to ask? ] (]) 18:11, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
