===Summary 3===
Keltik31 appears harmless. Many of his edits are very opinionated and possibly offensive to a selected some. If this user were to bring citation, there would not be an issue. Summary 2 states: "after this kind of edit every action from this user is suspect." Every edit form every user should be suspect, '''not''' because you didn't like him using the word nigger. Many edits are POVs and to write for Misplaced Pages, he would ''need'' to alter his writing style; if he cannot, he is recommended to express his opinions anywhere that is not Misplaced Pages. Just be cautious not to get shot by people who disagree with you. Freedom of speech is not a real thing.

  1. --Db099221 21:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  2. The real issues are personal attacks and blatant WP:V issues. If the user would be civil, not insult other editors and sourced his additions we wouldn't have nearly as serious issue with the POV. JoshuaZ 21:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  3. I have warned this user for disruptive, POV-pushing, and uncivil behavior (examples ). Since then, despite a block by another admin for personal attacks, it appears that disruptive behavior has continued (examples and especially this threat). --Ginkgo100 21:46, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  4. My first interaction with the user was here; involving his disputing the numbers of dead in The Holocaust. After that exchange, I took a look at the user's contributions. I hate to think the worst of someone; but there was something dark about the user's edits/contributions, when looked at not just individually, but as a whole, as a pattern. Not just the blatant POV pushing (e.g., here, here and here) but a deliberate, focused effort to remove the "Jewishness" from certain articles (as the user does here and here) while at the same time injecting negative (as well as factually inaccurate) POVs into other articles (e.g., here and here). In addition, the user does not seem to understand the purpose of article talk pages; using them as off-topic discussion threads and trolling ponds.

  5. He first came to my attention when he asked what appeared to be legitimate questions about Catholicism . I attempted to answer his questions. It became increasingly clear that he wasn't interested in asking questions but instead was stirring the pot: just wondering where catholics get some of their practices from. if it isnt in the bible, then it isnt legit in my book. you just cant make it up as you go. As it became clearer that he was simply trying to stir things up and wasn't actually interested in learning more about Catholicism I still gave him information but pointed out that this may be an instance of trolling on his part. His response was i suggest you kiss the sunny side of my royal irish ass. trolling? is that a personal attack?. At that point, I warned him about civility. His response: is this a lecture, because i dont remember signing up for the class. When it was pointed out by another editor that talk pages really aren't the place for such a discussion his response was: i think i'll do what i want to do and wait for irish guy's response. thanks for your input though IrishGuy 22:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Other users who endorse this summary

  1. This user edited the article Gas chamber to state that there were no autopsy results showing that anyone had been gassed during the Holocaust . I reverted that as a POV edit. He then asked on Talk:Gas chamber for autopsy results . In response to what could have been a good faith request for citations, I found and added references to the section on Nazi gas chambers - not autopsy results, of course, as those are somewhat hard to find for Holocaust victims, but other sources that were reputable and verifiable. A couple of weeks later, he returned to the talk page and again asked for autopsy results . This led to a discussion where the existing references - Nuremberg testimony, the Gerstein Report, everything any reputable historian has ever written about the Holocaust - were explained. He rejected these references and suggested other ones that supported his point of view , including an obvious Holocaust denial website and the thorougly debunked pamphlet Did Six Million Really Die. I suggested that if he really disagreed with the article and its references, he could edit it himself if he could find valid and reputable sources . He never took me up on that suggestion, but returned to the talk page to once again post questions casting doubt on the facts of the Holocaust . This editor seems to either not understand or not care about verifiability and the use of reputable sources. He also seems to prefer spending time posting and reposting talk page questions that border on trolling to actually making substantive edits to articles. Eron 22:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  2. Addhoc 17:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  3. TheQuandry 00:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC) Seems pretty clear to me.
  4. G Rose 13:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC) User is biased and uncivil. Looking over his Rodney King article edits, I notice that he removed several cited statements as well as inserting his own (uncited) POV statements. As he seems to have denied every accusation of POV made against him, it appears likely that he'll continue to compromise the validity of articles until he is stopped.
  5. Daniel J. Leivick 01:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC) This user has trouble relating to others and is quick to anger (possibly a troll) also blatant pusher of POV.

Response

This is a summary written by the user whose conduct is disputed, or by other users who think that the dispute is unjustified and that the above summary is biased or incomplete. Users signing other sections ("Statement of the dispute" and "Outside Views") should not edit the "Response" section.

i reject the terms anti-semetic and racist as i am neither. becuase i provoke what i feel are inteligent discussions? because i question the "official" version of history. because i rasie thought provoking questions? i think that there is a hypersensitivity here and that there are too many people with too much time on their hands. that is my opinion. i think that the holocaust was exadgerated and that the naacp is a racist organization. i am not alone. but i am not a nazi or a klansman because of it and i resent the implication.

if you want to ban me? then ban me. Keltik31 20:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

what have i said that is racist or anti-semetic? you can lobb that accusation, but back it up. i consider that a personal attack. Keltik31 20:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

i didnt say that they werent terrorists. get your facts straight my friend. where do i say "the 9/11 hijackers were not terrorists"? am i missing something? is there something in the water i drink that makes me so far off the same page as people who make stupid claims like this? Keltik31 21:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

this is another fabrication of the truth. i have made edits and asked questions of other issues. this sounds more to me like a Misplaced Pages Witch Hunt than a real inquiry. Keltik31 21:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

i was not trying to stir the pot, i was just trying to understand why the faith does some of the things it does. i found you to be the one being confrontational. Keltik31 23:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

(note: this edit is restored from here, re: Eron's comment here -- weirdoactor --) well? are there any autopsy results proving it? afraid of the truth? Keltik31 20:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Users who endorse this summary:

  1. Keltik31 has a little bit of a bombastic style which he could certainly work to clean up. The only point of evidence that should stand against him is the as it is definitely in violation of WP:Civility and WP:NPOV. It is not, however, directed at any person other than the subject of the article so that instance does not qualify as a violation of WP:NPA. The other evidence against Keltik31 can be viewed as a difference of opinion for which there has been no good faith effort by other parties to seek consensus, therefore Keltik31 can not be in violation of WP:Consensus. Rather, his edits were summarily rejected. The allegations of anti-Semitism, which, if demonstrably true, would be a heinous violation of WP:NPOV, actually revealed to me a disturbing trend towards NPA directed against Keltik31 by other editors whose correct course of action should have been citation needed or fact tags on the content in question or changing the content with attention to NPOV and consensus. The edits in question would be better qualified as unsourced, because they are just that, unsourced statements about Israeli PMs Begin and Sharon, and there truly are very well known sources and institutions that deem or have deemed them terrorists. In related statements of his- anti-Israel sentiments, and those drawing attention to U.S.-Israel relations, again, I find unsourced statements and a lack of effort in seeking consensus by all parties. In summary, Keltik31 shows only the aforementioned as a violation of WP:Civility and WP:NPOV. That calls for a warning on Keltik31's talk page. Colloquial expressions (e.g., "put the crack pipe down") are not any sort of violation when part of talk pages. I should be clear that I do not sympathize with Keltik31's particular views on these issues, but I do affirm his non-violation of policies summary as detailed within my above response.

Summary 1

Just a quick view of the this person's editing history and talk page shows that he is using Misplaced Pages to promote a blatant racist and anti-semetic political agenda, and is not prepared to interact with other editors in a civil and productive manner. This editor should probably be blocked from contributing to Misplaced Pages. Spylab 02:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Summary 2

While this probably could have been better phrased on the talk page, it does appear to be true that this user removed an edit to Rodney King with the "uppity n*****" quote, not added it. While I can't speak to the user's other edits, (s)he should not be reprimanded for that. I would advise, however, that in future discussion on the talk page, I would advise the user use a subject heading such as "Removed an edit containing a racial slur" rather than to repeat the slur there.

Summary 3

Keltik31 appears harmless. Many of his edits are very opinionated and possibly offensive to a selected some. If this user were to bring citation, there would not be an issue. Summary 2 states: "after this kind of edit every action from this user is suspect." Every edit form every user should be suspect, not because you didn't like him using the word nigger. Many edits are POVs and to write for Misplaced Pages, he would need to alter his writing style; if he cannot, he is recommended to express his opinions anywhere that is not Misplaced Pages. Just be cautious not to get shot by people who disagree with you. Freedom of speech is not a real thing.
