Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:26, 21 June 2011

Welcome!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, Boothello! I am WeijiBaikeBianji and have been editing Misplaced Pages for quite some time. Thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Misplaced Pages! If you have any questions check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, or feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or type {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. Again, welcome!

I see we are editing some of the same articles.

Hi, Boothello, I see you haven't had time yet to set up your user page. It looks like you are watching several of the same articles I watch, and I look forward to you suggesting sources that will help me and other wikipedians improve the content of those various articles. You may or may not be aware that several of those articles were recently the subject of an Arbitration Committee case that resulted in those articles being subject to active arbitration remedies that continue to this day. I have been pleased to observe that editors who by no means share the same point of view on the underlying issues have nonetheless been able to learn how to communicate with one another and how to verify sources together as we all edit those various articles and improve their quality. I look forward to you keeping an eye on my editing of those articles and welcome you to comment about any of my edits on my user talk page or on the appropriate article talk page. And please suggest sources as you become aware of those—improving the sourcing of articles looks to be one of the best ways to improve most of the 6,929,963 articles on Misplaced Pages. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 23:58, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Wrong place for complaint

You put a complaint on the talk page for Race and intelligence, but you were complaining about changes for the talk page for Race (classification of humans). Plus if you want to complain about something like that WP:AN/I is the place to go. Dmcq (talk) 01:56, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

user:Jagiello

Thanks for the information! Unfortunately I do not know who could possibly be the sockpuppeteer. If anyone is. A SPI requires some specific suspicions regarding another editor so I do not think I can start a SPI.Miradre (talk) 05:43, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Mathsci's involvement in race articles

I just asked a member of Arbcom about Mathsci's current involvement in race articles, since Mathsci has promised to permanently stay out of these articles was a condition for his topic ban being lifted in December. I feel that Mathsci's dominating of Miradre's noticeboard threads is unhelpful so I'm notifying some other people who have been involved in those. Risker suggested that this is dealt with in an arbitration amendment thread. I haven't been involved recently, so I don't think I'm the right person to request an amendment. But I think the rest of you might want to consider Risker's suggestion, if Mathsci continues to be this heavily involved.-SightWatcher (talk) 00:05, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Thoughts? Personally I think it may be best for now to just inform Mathsci about this discussion and hope that he desists voluntarily.Miradre (talk) 01:18, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Please see the talk page of Risker for my response. Mathsci (talk) 01:39, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I do not see how possible meatpuppetry by other affects your promise to stay out of these articles. By posting here you have shown that you are now aware of the issue raised by SightWatcher. I hope you will follow your earlier promise and stay out of the area.Miradre (talk) 01:51, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Boothello has not responded here, despite having edited wikipedia since SightWatcher posted. Presumably there is a completely logical explanation. Mathsci (talk) 06:01, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

There is nothing to respond to. An arbitrator has asked you stay out of the topic, and I consider the issue resolved. Curiously, I notice that user:Ramdrake has reverted my edit around ten minutes after you linked to it here, despite having edited very little recently. I wonder if he's being contacted off-Wiki by someone currently involved.Boothello (talk) 07:05, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Were you expecting SightWatcher to post a message like the above on your page?

As far as I am aware Ramdrake has been in very poor health for well over a year. It is something of a relief that he is still well enough to edit wikipedia. Mathsci (talk) 07:31, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

informational note about ARBCOMR&I and discretionary sanctions

On the off chance that you are not aware, articles like Race and Intelligence are subject to discretionary sanctions. Please review the section on the ArbCom page for details: . Cheers. aprock (talk) 02:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Please read Aprock's message again, particularly the link. Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 07:24, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I have read it a second time, thanks! It might benefit you to read this a second time: Boothello (talk) 07:42, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

If you continue revert-warring and tag-teaming, then that might result in sanctions under WP:AE. I am not under any kind of formal editing restriction, except a self-imposed one on articles and their talk pages. It applies nowhere else, even if you or any of your friends would like to think so. Risker has explained that she has fully recused herself from anything related to the case, although she did vote once on a Request for amendment, perhaps as an oversight; I have privately sent messages about her comments to two members of ArbCom. If you wish to seek further clarification, you or your friend SightWatcher may make a formal Request for clarification. Meanwhile, please stop tag-teaming and edit-warring. Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 08:28, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Volunteer_Marek

The nature of your editing is being considered at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Volunteer_Marek with respect to whether your account is a single purpose account which has edited in an aggressive and tendentious way with respect to the topic of race and intelligence. This expansion of the enforcement request resulted from the assertion by Volunteer Marek and others that your account was a single purpose account which edited and otherwise conducted themselves in a POV way. A preliminary look at your history of contributions shows that their contention may have merit. User:Fred Bauder Talk 02:48, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

User:Maunus

This administrator has self-blocked his account for 3 months. Although he has still left himself access to his user talk page, messages there concerning editing which partially precipitated this self-block are unlikely to elicit any response. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 08:33, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

WP:ARBR&I

Hello Boothello. Like TrevelyanL85A2, a real life friend of Ferahgo-the-Assassin, you appear currently to be tracking the edits of User:Volunteer Marek. Recently TrevelyanL85A2 appeared shortly after you, out of the blue, to back you up on the talk page of another article also involving Volunteer Marek. That otherwise inexplicable coincidence, per WP:TAG TEAM, makes it highly likely that you yourself, contrary to what you have said in the past, have a similar relationship with Ferahgo-the-Assassin, editing on her behalf to bypass her topic ban, This strategy of tracking a single editor is ill-advised. (If SightWatcher starts editing out of the blue now, that would only make things look even worse.) You have up until now had no interest so far in the article Race and sports. That article in fact is an expansion of Black athletic superiority and does not fall within the articles covered by WP:ARBR&I. Indeed I have edited it and its talk page. Can you explain your sudden interest in that article? Is it because you did some course closely related to this very material at university? It has certainly nothing to do with pscychology, which was the explanation you have given previously for your choice of articles on wikipedia. At the moment your editing looks like WP:WIKIHOUNDING and WP:MEATPUPPETRY. Mathsci (talk) 04:55, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

As SightWatcher did on a previous occasion, you left a message on Risker's talk page. You must be aware that Risker is recused from all matters concerning WP:ARBR&I. She has stated this several times in several different places. My voluntary restriction applies only to articles and talk pages. Every now and then something funny happens: in this case TrevelyanL85A2—SightWatcher identified as a real life friend of Ferahgo-the-Assassin—started tag teaming with you out of the blue and in quick succession. He hasn't edited in that area since January. My voluntary restrictions have never included other parts of project space: that includes monitoring problematic editors, of which TrevelyanL85A2 is one and Mikemikev is another. Most recently I requested an checkuser on Rrrrr5 and a London IP which resulted in the IP being blocked as well as the desysopping and indefinite blocking of Spencer195. If you wish for clarification from non-recused members of ArbCom, that can be done formally or through individual non-recused arbitartors, e.g. Newyorkbrad or Shell Kinney. There seem to be serious problems with your edits, particularly as they relate to the edits of identified friends of Ferahgo-the-Assassin. Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 08:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
