Block

Please see Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/InShaneee_2. Worldtraveller 00:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll continue to raise questions about your conduct. All I want is for you to explain why you blocked someone you were having a dispute with, with nothing in WP:BP to support the block. More than a month has passed and you still won't engage in any dialogue whatsoever. Why is this? Worldtraveller 01:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The following is from my talk page - perhaps you didn't see it there. Worldtraveller 22:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Since that was more calmly worded, I'll be glad to answer you. While I continue to frown on your conduct in the matter, I will admit that I jumped the gun with the block, and it was something that I should have sought outside input on; for that I do apologize. Part of it was also, as was mentioned before, that to me, it seemed to be a 'drive-by' by an anon. Had I seen that it was an established user, I would have been much more quick to attempt to begin a dialouge. In the future, though, know that it is polite to raise the question of whether a tag belong or not before you simply remove it; since they are placed by Wikiprojects, they do not always have the luxury of responding quickly to these types of things, or even noticing them in many instances. I hope this helps with the situation. --InShaneee 01:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Finally. Why has it taken you so long to respond? I made many requests on your talk page and each one was totally ignored.

You may well frown on my conduct. I also frown on yours. However, that doesn't justify blocking me at all. You haven't explained the following points:

1. Which bit of WP:BP did you think applied to the situation?
2. Why did you block someone who you were having a content dispute with when this is strictly forbidden?
3. Why did you not respond to criticism of your actions?

By the way, I apologise that your refusal to even acknowledge my questions pushed me into saying this. Worldtraveller 12:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

No reply? Worldtraveller 21:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Your continued rudeness and failure to remotely discuss your controversial administrative actions just confirms for me that you are a terrible administrator. Whatever I can do to get your administrative tools taken away from you, I will do. Worldtraveller 20:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Golfore

dont delete my words golfore that is a new term that i coined just as renaissance writers coined new terms all the time and you do not delete those words. You have noob on here which is also slang in case you havent noticed. Why should you have more power than I do, are you better than me, no you are human(i think) just like the rest of us.

dude

what's the deal?

InShaneee, could you please take a look at this: The action is too slow, whilst he continues to harass by constantly reverting all edits he dislikes. --AdilBaguirov 02:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

could you please take a look, as it's not ending, but getting worse: Thanks. --AdilBaguirov 02:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Madmod.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Criticism and response in parapsychology

I've been advised to create a sandbox for the Criticism and response in parapsychology article. It's here, renamed to Controversy in parapsychology. I'm not sure if people want to edit under my user page, or edit the main article. But, if it's decided to edit the sandbox, It would be great to have your input. I won't be editing in the beginning, while I see what format people want to use etc. I'm putting this on several talk pages. Martin _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 05:34, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Uncivil remarks

I know you're busy! When you get a breath, give me a shout! Dreadlocke ☥ 22:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps

Perhaps you'd like to speak to the officers in charge of the case? I never once used the word pedophile anywhere ever in my statements to anyone. Reporting WikiStalking to admins doesn't get you banned, never has, especially when you have (And so do the admins) the ip addresses to back up claims of wikistalking and sockpuppetry. LexiLynn 19:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Can't really deal descreetly with anything once they follow me onto the internet. this is called wikistalking. I thought admins new about it. LexiLynn 21:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Shane, I am SO sorry to drag you back into this, but you may want to take a look at my entry in the Admins Noticeboard again. I am content to drop this matter, but LexiLynn is continuing with allegations of "court documents". Ispy1981 05:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Archive names

If you "edit this page" and look at your Werdnabot invocation, you will see that you have hard coded the year to be "06". Obviously, then it will alway be "06" until you change that. This is not a bug in Werdnabot itself, it is a bug in your invocation of it. JRSpriggs 06:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Personal Attack

The user barefact made a personal attack: . I warned the user to stop his personal attack:. He still persisted even more: . --alidoostzadeh 11:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Ali doostzadeh complaint about deceptive removal of contents

Dear Chicagoland, I fully appreciate your comment and completely support the concept about personal attacks. There are instanses when the unrestrained deceptive editing should be called for what they are, deceptive editing. You may note that Ali doostzadeh brings upon himself numerous independent complaints about his racistic, militant and deceptive editing, which he brings up as personal attacks. In my response I offered him an independent arbitrage, I offered it many times and on many subjects, but he always declined a neutral resolution. I would gladly submit to your review of this dispute, and I am sure it would be clear to any observer that Ali doostzadeh's editing grossly conflict with his deceptive explanations. The Iranian group was already found as acting in bad faith in this article, and the same participants are engaged in stealthy but militant removal of contents and restoration of dismissive tags already deleted by admins. Barefact 20:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I find both of you right and myself wrong in regards to personal comments on this . I would appreciate your advice on how to productively handle the situation in this and in similar cases, when deceptive tactics plays the system to the advantage of people who work full time to enforce their parochial and racist dogmas, not infrequently resorting to bad faith and covert editing practices. Personal attacks are not acceptable, and Ali doostzadeh rightfully brings frequent complains against editors who abchore his methods, and there should be an equally rightful way to defend from militant and deceitful methods without resorting to personal attacks. Barefact 17:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Authentic Leadership

Hi, how can I make a page for "Authentic Leadership" without seeming like it's advertising? I am new at this.

So "Good To Great" has this huge article on it... how come Authentic Leadership is not allowed one? It was a Business Week best seller! Is it the way I wrote it up? It has been awarded:

Economist: "Best Business Books of 2004" Business Week Best-Selling Books Economist: "Best Business Books of 2003" Amazon: "Best Business Books of 2003" 800-CEOREAD: #1 Best Selling Book

If I wrote something along the lines of:

Recognition and Praise Business Week Best-Selling Books Economist: “Best Business Books of 2003” Amazon: “Best Business Books of 2003 800-CEOREAD: #1 Best Selling Book Economist: “Best Business Books of 2004” “One new book, Authentic Leadership, is so valuable. Coming after a long period of convulsive scandal and upheaval in corporate America, Mr. George’s book could be an important contribution to refocusing American chief executives. . . There is a great deal of valuable insight in Authentic Leadership. One can only wish that Mr. George had written it five years ago before so many chief executives led their companies so badly astray.” - New York Times, July 27, 2003 “Bill George has put his views on Authentic Leadership in a book that is fast achieving cult status among chief executives.” - Economist, December 2003

Rumble in the Jungle

I notice you deleted my updated RitJ page. The reason I created it is explained on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:The_Rumble_in_the_Jungle">at the bottom of the discussion page of the original article</a>. Basically the page is such a mess, factually and stylistically, that I wanted to have a sandbox where I could make large edits without actually replacing the old page until I was done with the article. It's possible there is a better/accepted way of doing this; if so please let me know as I am new at this. Until then I am reinstating my page.RaulGroom 22:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Sports Trainer

according to my information you have just deleted sports trainer article. why?? there was nothing wrong with it and i am not a banned user???. (Kylie 05:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC))

Thanks

I appreciate the warning given to the IP, but I think stronger is required in this case. People have been warning him for months and he just continues every few days spewing personal attacks and incivility.--Crossmr 22:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate Threats

It is inappropriate for you to threaten another user for engaging in discussion. If you continue this inappropriate behavior, I will make a formal complaint. 24.116.200.178 23:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

FinancialContent, Inc. Dispute

I do not understand why you have blocked me needlessly. Other companies, such as GoFish, AccuWeather, MySpace, also have pages up. I do not believe that you are capable of determining the validity of this page.

Misplaced Pages policy does not disallow pages about companies. There is no promotion of the company and all data is factually presented. - Mdierolf 22:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Prolifix - Zaretser on "The Underground Collective"

Just wondering why you decided to delete the article I wrote on, "The Underground Collective". I added some reference to the page and I am still not sure of the reason(s) for you having to delete the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Prolifix - Zaretser (talk • contribs) 18:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
