| Hello Sebastian, | |||
| I'm a ] student, and my assignment is to track down the writers and several other facts from articles on "]", in different encyclopedias. I realize that everyone wrote this, but the form I have asks for a single author, so I decided on the person that started the article. I guess the only two facts I can't get from the article are your name (unless SebastianHelm is not a nickname... please excuse me if that is the case), and whether you are an expert on the topic. | |||
| I know this is an odd request, but you'll probably be getting it a lot... it might be a good idea to leave this post and your reply up for a few months at least. You see, because of extenuating circumstances, I was given the term's assignments early, but you're going to have at least a thousand other Waterloo students looking for the same information in a month or so. If all the information's there though, they likely won't bug you, we're generally a decent sort. | |||

| I was told that you opend a mediation case against Luck6.9 I also had a deleated on an accoutn of vandalism. It was about an user created goverment in the popular game located on the teen grid. It was a movement that contains many documents, quotes and history. It even has a forum and website soon to be launched. She an/or He deleated it within the first 5 minutes I left it alone to log an and fetch history from its founder and any important document portaining to its history. I understand He and.or She is on a forced Wikibreak right now but I was rather sad it was deleated on the spot. I was hoping soon to start and artcle on the internet phenomenom but I was afraid it would be sho down again. She also deleated all the messages I sent to her off her user page and also diddnt reply to my emials. I dont know how a Mediation works but could you help me out here Im new with how this works and could use somone to help exlpain some things. I hope I helped in the case of mediation with Luck6.9, please get abck to me. | |||

| Hi - I had discussed this with a bureacurat, ] a couple of months ago and he asserted that he was ok with it and wouldn't normally ask me to change it. That said, I have done my level best to keep my opinions to myself while on WP - I strongly deny Szhaider's accusations and I doubt his integrity - it is common to accuse the person who is inconveniencing you with anything you can throw at him. I have given him ample warnings and opportunities to resolve disputes via discussion - it is only when he violated ] on ] that I went ahead and blocked him for all the issues cited on the ANI report - otherwise I was planning to let others handle it. ] 01:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::: Hmm, I am no expert on criteria for blocking, so don't take my word for it when I gave my opinion that it seemed justified to me. It probably was a mistake to state this as a fact. However, I have seen admins acquitted at ANI who blocked users indefinitely for "trolling", which seems to me a much lesser offense. — ] 02:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :: Thank you; I'm not concerned about it myself, but I will keep my promise if he gets back to me about it. The reason I gave it to him was to show him a way out of the agression in which he boxed himself.

| : Your judgment is reasonable, but I can't help commenting that if you acquaint yourself with Szhaider's editing history, he has started-off aggressive and never actually provoked. As for the username issue, I will happily do my best to assuage any concerns, but it is hardly resonable to me to consider Szhaider's accusation as legitimate - that after having edited for more than a year with due respect for Misplaced Pages's policies, that some obvious POV-pusher who does not hesitate to insult Hinduism and Hindus should feel "offended" at my username. Whatever personal views I have, I don't let them intrude on my editing and adminship duties. ] 01:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == Messages from Iwazaki == | |||
| === misunderstanding === | |||
| Dear Sebastian, | |||
| I think the warning you have given to me is quite unfair..I still stand by by edits ,which correctly question the comments of a person who is regarded as a staunch LTTE supporter..This is not my own personal belief..If you think so, then I would kindly ask you to show me any statement made by this "bishop" criticizing the "LTTE"..The whole article, before my intervention was written purely based on article at "tamil net",which is a pro LTTE site and definitely can't be consider as a ]..And if you read it carefully, the author has given a high importance to the comment of the "bishop" ,as he was the only "called it an act against humanity" ??? "Crimes against humanity" is a serious allegation ,as we all know..The whole article sounds like the Government did something intentional and it is an crime..With only the "bishop's" comment was given as an example !! And that's why I changed it to | |||
| ..I strongly object having one sided comments of a known LTTE sympathiser. And I have the right to let Wikipedian community that this Bishop has not criticized The "LTTE", even a single occasion.Sinhalese people were kicked out from North and being massacred and this person has not made a single comment son this.. | |||
| .Its like Nazis talking about "humanity", while involving in "crimes against humanity"..What I did was balancing the article,nothing else.I think my other edits also did some thing similar..You have to remember that the Author of these articles are not only creating them,he also calling them "state terrorism", and include them to it as soon as he created them..These are serious allegations..And as from the present evidences isn't it obvious that the Authors comments were biased and this is indeed a LTTE naval base!! So why would this be a part of state terrorism ?? And also, isn't this obvious that the bishop's comments was made to deceive people ?? AS he had done before.. | |||
| Sebastian,I immensely appreciate your work here..But I think its not correct to call my edits "defamatory"..I should have wrote something in the talk page,other than that My comments regarding the "Bishop is correct" and the "New evidences" just prove what I said.Keep up your good work. | |||
| thanks.--] 14:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| === Also.. === | |||
| I'm glad that You brought this issue.. Well first have a look at the very first version of this article.. ..As you can clearly see there is an grave contradiction with the article and the source..The source is about the "Acquittal" and the article is about the "massacre", not a single word of acquittal is there..So the Author had decided the Army did the "massacre" and happily used that term several times. | |||
| lets take a look at my first edit in this | |||
| ..Where have I mislead ?? I have correctly changed the phrases.What the source said about the "Army personnel's" Acquittal and That's what exactly I did here..Removing the word Army from it,as they were "Acquitted" by an independent jury..We live in the 21 st century where people supposed to respect the law and order..If a court gives a decision , and "acquit" someone , why would we still defame him ?? These are ] ,and wikipedia shouldn't be used for attacking a judicial systems of a democratic country..If we do so, then,there will be no "consensus"..if the Author wants to challenge the decision he can do it over the court..this is certainly not a task of wikipedia !! | |||
| Also, the source does not give a single "human rights organisations" ..NOT a single name given !! Then how do we know whether this is true ?? I should have removed it totally, but I still changed it to "some"..if the Author claims something,don't you think evidence should be produced ?? Its certainly not presented here !! Also, I seriously doubt this "''Sri Lankan Monitor''",for me its looks like an another NGO led organization..This what they say in the front page "''The British Refugee Council established the Sri Lanka Project in December 1987, on the request of international NGOs.''"..And they also say ''The work of the Project is supervised by an Advisory Committee, comprising international NGOs, including the Refugee Counc''..Highly suspicious!! So far I a have only seen the Tamil side of the stories, yet to see a single article regarding the "Sinhalese civilian massacres by LTTE"..I am doing a bit of research about this site and If I can clearly see this as a bias site, then I will let you know. | |||
| And lets take the second case | |||
| ..Once again, this is about the bishop..I think I have addressed issue already..I stand by with my statements as they were correct and made the article neutral. | |||
| Dear Sebastian, I have presented my case and I don't think I did any thing misleading.Edit summaries mat have mislead some, but they were definitely done to make the article a better neutral one.And there was no spam nor personal attacks..I would like if you reconsider about the warning that you have given to me..Thank you for spending your valuable time in helping others and making the articles look better.--] 15:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ohh also have a look at this too ..Written by a Catholic/Christian SL citizen... | |||
| === Reply (short) === | |||
| Hello Iwazaki! Thank you for your messages. I am quite busy today, but I will read them carefully later. I just started reading a really good book, "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall B. Rosenberg, and while I'm only in chapter 2, I already realized several mistakes I made here. I would like to continue reading it and then read your mails with that in mind. Have a good day, — ] 20:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| '''Thanks''' ..Enjoy the book..Hopefully you can use the knowledge you might gain from the book to make Misplaced Pages a better place. Look forward to your reply.--] 21:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| === Reply (long) === | |||
| I am sorry, my reply is not going to contain much of what I read in the book yet, because I haven't finished it. I had wanted to wait with my reply until I finished the book and then take all the time it takes to apply a new, unpracticed technique to give you a nonviolent response. However, this isn't gonna happe now. Unfortunately, your recent actions have made it urgent for me to read and reply to your messages. | |||
| I don't see that you are addressing the first two policy violation warnings, and you're not addressing my table which backs up the third: | |||
| ;Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly: Not only did you not refrain from doing so, you even did it again - and this time even 4 times! | |||
| ;You have made an edit that could be regarded as defamatory: This warning is unfortunately quite unclear; what it means is you violated <s>]</s> ''']'''. And yes, I agree with you that there was no spam. I'm sorry about that misunderstanding. This was a template, and the wording was not from me. | |||
| ;misleading edit summaries "Where have I mislead ??": I don't see how anyone could not understand my table, but I will make it even clearer by directly putting the different versions next to each other - see table below. Regarding your second edit: Are you denying that you deleted <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> without providing reference in ? Your summary does not mention this. In the contrary, it sounds as if you had added a <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> template. | |||
| Here's the table for your first edit: | |||
| {| class="wikitable" | |||
| |- | |||
| | || <font color=red>Soldiers from Punanai Army camp</font> massacred 35 Tamils ... | |||
| |- | |||
| | original version || <font color=red>] soldiers from Punanai Army camp</font> massacred 35 minority ], ... | |||
| |- | |||
| | Iwazaki's versions || 35 minority ] ... were killed . - <font color=red>no mention of the soldiers!</font> | |||
| |} | |||
| If you describe an edit as "corrected phrases according to citations", but in fact you are changing wording that ''was'' correct to a paraphrased and weakened version, then that is misleading. | |||
| All other points you raise, such as the discussion of the POV of one source, or what the bishop is or is not, have nothing to do with the three warnings. Moreover, I find it disengenuous if you target other people's sources while you yourself don't even provide sources for very harsh accusations of living people. — ] 02:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC), <small>corrected ] to ] 21:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)</small> | |||
| === Last chance to demostrate good will === | |||
| Iwazaki, damaged existing messages in two places, and I'm therefore reverting it. I noticed it also included another long POV pushing rant. | |||
| I am sorry, you are completely missing the point. This is not about POV. It is about basic Misplaced Pages policies, as explained on your talk page and above. I don't see how this can still not be clear to you, but I will give you one last chance to demostrate good will. Please therefore refrain for your next 100 article space edits from any | |||
| * reversions of opposing POV; | |||
| * insertions of ] that can affect the subject's life; | |||
| * misleading edit summaries. | |||
| If I still see you doing any of the above then I will have to report you. I am sorry that it has come to that; my ] skills are not advanced enough to see another way for handling this. | |||
| If you have any ''concrete and specific'' questions about these three policies that you can not find or inquire about on the policy pages, then I'm still open to answering them here. But please spare me your POV pushing rants. I will either ignore or delete such edits, even if they do not damage other messages on this page. — ] 21:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Ooh thanks brother == | |||
| Ooh thanks brother {{Smiley2|12}}. I never did think that you were disillusioned because of the edit wars on Sri Lankan conflict related topics. I have been here nearly 4 n half months and I always had to face such experiences. ] has been here for 11 months and both of us and every other user have been facing such problems and none of them gave up editing. Why? That's because we all have an '''infinite hope''' that we regret to lose. But some people like ], after they have been confirmed as sock puppets of another user, became a blatant vandal and I was accused as a sock puppeteer for some thing I didn't do and I was blocked for one week. Have you ever been accused for some thing you didn't do and punished? At least on your school days? I have been once and with this incidence the count was raised up to two. Ater that I was really disappointed and I thought to give up editing but I didn't give up my '''infinite hope'''. So there's no point in doing something like giving up editing for a simple matter. --] ]</sup> 07:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC) | |||
