| Hi QuackGuru. Thanks for your contributions to the encyclopedia, but I just wanted to point out to you that edits like are ]. I know this is an old edit, but I only just noticed the content today (and spent some time in the history tracking the original edit back to you), so I just wanted to let you know so that hopefully it does not happen again. <b class="IPA">]</b> (]) 04:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC) | |||

| ::Almost the exact wording of the source was used, and while information was attributed to the source, the language was not. If language is used exactly, like it was here, it needs to be in quotes. You can find more information at ], and I'd be happy to clarify any further issues if you still have questions. <b class="IPA">]</b> (]) 22:48, 3 January 2015 (UTC) | |||

User:John is an WP:INVOLVED admin

John was edit warring on my talk page to restore comments made by other editors. In May, I complained to the admin John that he was reverting on my talk page on 19:14, 29 May 2014. He then immediately blocked me on 19:18, 29 May 2014. This was only four minutes later he decided to block me. He wrote "Very well, I will not restore any more items that you delete from your talk page. I will block you instead." I was involved in a dispute with him in regard to comments made by other editors on my talk page. This appears to be a violation of WP:INVOLVED. An admin should not block an editor because they did not like being warned to not restore comments on an editor's talk page. In June, I was in a content dispute with John. I reverted the original research he added to a BLP. I even explained it to him on John's talk page. In November, after I reverted my edit at Ayurveda and was waiting for consensus I got blocked without any prior warning of the 0RR restrictions at the article. I think this was a violation of WP:BEFOREBLOCK. Note: The admin John has been notified of the sanctions. I previously explained that any uninvolved admin can sanction the admin John from this topic area at this point. Roxy the dog disagreed with the actions by the admin John. Then the admin John suggested there should be further sanctions against both me and Roxy the dog without a logical reason. User:Kww explained John's comment was "problematic". In November, User:Roxy the dog was asking User:PhilKnight for advice. User:Phil Knight replied on November 15, 2014 that "I'm somewhat concerned with actions of John (talk · contribs), and think we would should perhaps consider a WP:RFC/ADMIN." John was previously warned not to restore comments on my talk page. John agreed. Later in November 2014 John restored comments after I deleted them. John appears to be WP:INVOLVED in edit warring on this talk page on two separate occasions. Please remember that John has been notified of the sanctions. User:Doc James wrote on December 4, 2014 "Yup. Likely we need someone neutral / not involved to look at this. John and QG are involved". |
Apology
I would like to apologize for my behavior of last week. As noted on my user page, I am given to short term episodes of childishness and petulance. This was a particularly egregious example of such an episode. Formerly 98 (talk) 13:01, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Happy New Year QuackGuru!
QuackGuru,
Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:33, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
