Please read before posting!

I don't always post a full rationale for everything I do, since doing this would take an inordinate amount of time. I do always have one, though, and will be happy to tell you why I did anything if you ask.

PLEASE READ HERE FIRST before asking deletion-related questions.

If you haven't posted a comment already, please put it under a new section at the bottom of the page using markup:

If you have, please post it under the section you started. Responses will be made on your talk page unless you request otherwise.

This page will be archived regularly, generally by an automated process, but that doesn't mean I consider the discussion closed if you have more to say. If your old comments are archived please start a new section on this page for further comment. Please remember to sign your comments using ~~~~.

If I contacted you on your talk page, I'll keep it on watch. Please feel free to reply either there or on this page, whichever's easier for you.

Please refrain from personal attacks. Personal attacks made against me made on this page will be left on it, but this in no way indicates that I approve of them or will not report them if they are severe or continuous. Personal attacks against other editors will be removed or reverted.

your block of truthjusticeamericanway

Regarding the matt sanchez page. This is a classic case of biting newbies. I "know" Truthjusticeamericanway and he is not Pwok. I will swear to it on a stack of frivolous lawsuits. See Elonka's page for more, unless the cabal forbids you.

Deletion of Middle Earth Mud Page/MUD Pages in General

You recently deleted a page I'd created a while back before registering on Middle Earth Mud. When I saw the page was up for deletion, because it didn't have any third party sources I went to the discussion page of that rule and posted there, what I will now re-point out here:
If the Middle Earth Mud page was blatant advertising, then pretty much EVERY Mud related article on Misplaced Pages is blatant advertising. With almost any Multi-User Dungeon out there the only sources available are going to be posted by either the administrator of the MUD or by it's players. If Misplaced Pages's gonna remove this sorta information, fine, but do it fairly across the board. And personally it greatly saddens me if that is indeed the policy, cause that will greatly reduce the amount of material to be found on wikipedia. Having all that information in one spot was extraordinarily handy.
If that's not the case, and it was just the way the article was written, then how could it be rewritten so as to not be blatant advertising? Aside from including third party links, because believe me, the only ones for any mud that could be included were written by people involved in that MUD in some way. Thanks,
TrueAlcon
Ahh, missed your response. My apologies. I'll just wander on over to the MU* community page and see if I can help them find ways to better establish notability.

Old advice

Do you remember some old advice you gave me in April, when combating a sock puppet to make it clear what I was doing?. The same sockpuppet has returned. Well, has returned several times, but this time is squawking on WP:ANI about it. I've done exactly as you, NYB, and MichaelLinnear were recommending to make it very clear who and why I was reverting and yet I'm getting a bunch of pile-on there and on my talk page again.

RE: Hetoum I

I was not a party in the first one, and not under 1 revert per week probation. The AA2 has two remedies. #1 doesn't apply to me.

1. 2 states:

The remedies of revert limitations (formerly revert parole), including the limitation of 1 revert per week, civility supervision (formerly civility parole) and supervised editing (formerly probation) that were put in place at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan shall apply to any editor who edits articles which relate to Armenia-Azerbaijan and related ethnic conflicts in an aggressive point of view manner marked by incivility. Before any penalty is applied, a warning placed on the editor's user talk page by an administrator shall serve as notice to the user that these remedies apply to them.

My edit was not an aggressive point of view. but it was uncivil, I suppose some might say :). Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the wording of that says that in order for a block we must be both pushing aggressive point of view and are uncivil?

Hetoum I 02:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC) When I find 20 sources calling an Individual Armenian including TURKISH, the NYT and Time's article are presented in a dubious manner, how can I bey considered aggressive? It is the duty of every editor and admin to weed out Original research and dubious citations, no?Hetoum I 20:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking back at van resistance, I did not notice you referred to those. If you look, I have continuously reported Ottoman Reference and he has been blocked several times and more than one article blocked because of him. I continually report him to ANI because he conducts original research, gives false citations, and do you remember his article April 24 circular that got deleted?

Movses - Minorsky calls it an Armenian source written in Armenian. Is there room for another interpretation that Movses is not Armenian? The users knowingly removed this, hence vandalism.

Hetoum I 20:44, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, honestly I do believe when a source says a person is armenian, and you modify this in the article to say otherwise, is vandalism, it is adding random nonsense. I of course did not call NYT and time dubious, but citation of context was. When a says times said this, but it really didnt. Francis blindly reverted me not reading my edit summary, responding or contributing on the talk page. What should I do? However, I do see what you are concerned about. i will try to keep my edit summaries civil.Hetoum I 06:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Please tell me why warning

Why you think the content i posted are spam? against any policy? Please point out. It is my first time to post. Please tell me more

Ok, thanks, I understand. Sorry, it is my first time to join Misplaced Pages. Maybe I am not very familiar. If I modify or post again, I will add more explanation about why it is useful or special on discussion. I will think more before I post anything. And I also avoid to post the same content in different site. Thanks for help and instruction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonmile (talk • contribs) 02:38, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Hetoum I

Hi. Please see this: User:Hetoum I has violated the revert parole imposed by you at least twice within the last couple of days. Grandmaster 07:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Assistance needed

Hi, I'm not sure about this issue and I'd appreciate your assistance (I saw your name on Misplaced Pages:Editor_assistance. I did the following edit:. Namely, I just took a quote from the following site: . Do I have right to quote something from this site (please read the copyright information, it is on the third page). MatriX 19:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

The copyright info is actually on the first page and it says it cannot be reproduced in whole or part without the consent of the author. Mr. Neutron 19:24, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually I'm just taking a quote that is included into that article (the author of the article had to take that quote from somewhere as well), unfortunately I cannot find at the moment any other relevant source that provides the same quote. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to use the article as a source for the quote and that is why I'm asking for an assistance.MatriX 19:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!MatriX 21:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Theloon

User:Theloon has reverted the fair use images onto the Spice Girls article three times.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Spice_Girls&diff=prev&oldid=153745099
• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Spice_Girls&diff=prev&oldid=155365756
• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Spice_Girls&diff=prev&oldid=155376873

I have removed them twice, in accordance with the consensus I have demonstrated at the talk page.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Spice_Girls&diff=154817272&oldid=154650982
• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Spice_Girls&diff=155431120&oldid=155429586

I sent them a 3rr warning (under the mistaken impression they had made four reverts, and they returned the warning, along with a snarky comment, "Also noted was your ability to only include this message on my Talk page and not that of the person who was editing against me; who you clearly back up in the article talk. Interesting. Righteous much?" Where do you suppose we go next with this? I would argue that we are right, as opposed to righteous. --John 05:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

pls. look at cotnribution of this editor. He is engaged in massive edit wars and leave no comments on talkpage - see Cultural genocide. Again rv without discussion.--Dacy69 15:41, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

My talk page is not the ArbCom enforcement board. That is here. Seraphimblade 06:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Question

I asked this of durova, but felt it wouldn't hurt to get another opinion. As you are versed on the situation, I will present this here. If you feel there is a COI, please let me know. During one of my suspensions, my opinion (which was already expressed) was directly circumvented. I think that's bad form. So how do we balance the need to keep a user's opinion in consideration while they are unable to edit? Even if their opinions are eventually put to the side - I don't want to simply go back and adjust all the contentious edits - even with support - unless I know that is acceptable. It appears that other's share my same concerns as to how to deal with a "suspended" users input. I will also put this on WT:BLOCK, as it will probably be a good thing to include on the article page.

Richmond High School question

Greetings; I am new to this so please excuse me if i did anything that is considered out of protocol. Can you please take a look at Richmond High School, Richmond California and tell me if this is considered appropriate. The editor continues to delete information i put in there. I am the principal of the school and needless to say the editor "onthespot 30" does not allow for me to put information with my version of the story as well as newspaper articles that support my response. please help, thanks... My email is Principaloramos@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.107.113.191 (talk) 04:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Richmond High School question from On the Spot

Hello; I am also new to this. I attempted to post information about Principal Ramos my colleagues found documented on the internet. Mr. Ramos proceded to delete the references over and over again. I never, as you can see by my edits, deleted any newspaper articles or any other factual evidence he provided. How are we to have an unbiased Richmond High School webpage that does not include unsubstantiated information about the school, or the principal, if the principal gets to control what is published? I felt that in my talk with Ramos online that I approached every one of his criticisms with a clear argument about the facts, not ad-hominem arguments such as those levied against me by the principal. I never accused him of having an "axe to grind" or of having "other problems" in his life, as he did of me. I kept this discussion entirely professional.

I would like to understand how I can more appropriately write about Richmond High School, including its leadership, so I do not run afowl of any wikipedia policies.

Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onthespot30 (talk • contribs) 05:59, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I will be sure to include secondary sources for facts I include from here on out. I appreciate your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.76.65 (talk) 07:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Richmond High School clarification

"He that flings dirt at another dirties himself most"-Thomas Fuller Onthespot 30 posted inaccurate comments not backed up by facts. She will try again. I have newspaper articles from reputable newspapers and publications documenting my successes in urban schools. Onthespot30 claimed that the articles supporting my accomplishments are not factual. How would she know? Should it be up to her to determine what is factual and relevant? Who decides?Again, the articles are from a reputable source. Once she posts another version attacking me, am i allowed to post the numerous newspaper articles supporting my accomplishments? Personally; I feel that an education website should not have these types of postings negative or positive. There are children that have looked at this website and her postings and they have come to me asking me, "Why is this person doing this?" These are the unintended victims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masgroovy (talk • contribs) 04:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I would tend to advise both sides to take a step back here. Please remember, the article about the school is primarily intended to be about the school, not about its current principal. Seraphimblade 04:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Grow up

You look at least 50 from the picture on your user page. I don't know. There are two pictures. Both of them look around the same age, but you say things like this:
