Blocked

You have been blocked indef for socking, disruption at DR, and linking to personal info. — RlevseTalk22:18, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

You edited as an IP, did it again after it was removed as a named account. How did a "new" user come to a deletion review page anyway? — RlevseTalk01:32, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
There's no trick to getting there but it's a VERY odd edit for a first time user. How do you explain that? And pls post your responses here, you can still edit your talk page. — RlevseTalk11:33, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with the formatting tools here, so please forgive me if this isn't formatted correctly.
I'm not sure what was odd about the post. Someone who was personally mentioned in the ClimateGate emails and is a founding member of RealClimate, which is also involved in ClimateGate, was saying that a ClimateGate page should be deleted. This seems like a clear conflict of interest to me. So I said as much and provided links where the information could be verified.
This seems like a normal thing to expect from an encyclopedia. In fact, just looking at the data entry page I'm using to enter this, I'm seeing two spots where it's telling me information must be verifiable. --Magicjava (talk) 11:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
That's not the question. The question is that since it's very odd for a first post (as you claim it's your first two posts) to be on a deletion review page, how did you become aware of the deletion review? 99.9% of new editors show up on an article first. Then you like to private info, which you're not supposed to do. Why did you link to private info? — RlevseTalk12:27, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
how did you become aware of the deletion review?
I followed the link on the ClimateGate page marked for deletion.
Why did you link to private info?
As I mentioned previously, that information is now public knowledge. It's been posted on the internet in several places and has been printed in the online newspapers. As to why I linked to it, it was so my statements could be verified.--Magicjava (talk) 12:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I do have a question though. Does wikipedia have any conflict of interest guidelines? I tried looking it up, but the rules pages seem somewhat Byzantine to the uninitiated. --Magicjava (talk) 12:49, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
They may be elsewhere on the net but we don't exacerbate the matter. See WP:COI for that issue. And in case you're asking, I have no particular interest on either side of the climate issue. Do you understand why you can't release or tie in private info on wiki and can you assure us you won't do it again? — RlevseTalk17:17, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I can say that if it is wikipedia's policy that these emails not be linked into discussion, I will follow that policy 100%. I will also not reference the emails indirectly by copying and pasting quotes from them. On that you have my word. I can also say that I will not post any personal information on anyone involved with wiki (I don't have any such information, but even if I did, I would not post it).
Thanks for your time and your consideration in this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magicjava (talkcontribs)
You're unblocked. Glad we worked this out and happy editing. — RlevseTalk18:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, sir. It's much appreciated.--Magicjava (talk) 18:31, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Sometimes it helps to have a blog, eh? Not sure if you saw my contribution to your unblock - see here: User_talk:Rlevse. Rd232 18:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, Rd323. :)
