Misplaced Pages

Dispute

You may know that there is an ongoing dispute between myself and User:Mathsci, who has told me that you are "dealing with this at the moment". Is that correct? If so, I would quite like to move forward as it is all getting rather tiresome. Mathsci has presumably given you his side of the story: since I shall be away for a little while I thought it might be good to let you see it from my point of view. Briefly I have been subject to a sustained program of harassment, hounding, abuse, insult and personal attacks from M.

• Hounding

• Topological group. My first edit reverted by M the same day (26/09/2009) as "unhelpful". Restored by consensus on the article talk page.
• Thomas Octavius Prichard. New article by me PRODded within three hours by M as a "hoax" . The PROD was contested by another user. This was clear bad faith, as the article already had reliable sources available and easy to check online, and M did not go to the article talk page to explain his concerns. (Amazingly M later reversed his position and is now editing the article quite productively.)
• Semigroup. New section by me reverted by M within five hours as misleading and misreprenting a source . In fact it is not mentioned in that source and another version with reliable source references available online was reverted again by M within five hours as "spurious", "misleading", "speculative", "WP:UNDUE", "WP:SYNTH". Consensus on article talk page suggests that M has simply misunderstood the use of the word "semigroup" here.

• Harassment

• Bizarre SPI against me, closed with no action: Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Quotient group
• Complaint to ANI with no previous attempts at dispute resolution, made three hours after SPI closed, clear case of forum-shopping, sank without trace:

• Abuse, insult and personal attacks

• At Talk:Charles Sanford Terry (historian), where I had detected a minor error

• "wikistalking" "account likely to be blocked"
• "QG has been following me around in a rather creepy way." "All his contributions to wikipedia are creepy."

• Groundless accusations of sockpuppetry and wikihounding broadcast in numerous venues
• Numerous edit summaries involving such words as "sockpuppet", "wikistalk", "misleading", "misrepresenting", "trolling", list too long and boring to compile right now
• See also although to be fair M blanked it later

Let me address those recent accusations of sockpuppetry. M alleges that a Checkuser has authorised him to say that I am a sockpuppet of User:A.K.Nole, User:Matilda and User:Maud. I don't know what he has been told, certainly I have not been informed of any such findings. As far as I'm concerned the Nole thing was rejected at the SPI mentioned above. Maud has edited just once, five years ago. Matilda is a retired admin. These allegations as reported by M are just obvious nonsense. Whatever M may or may not have been told, to broadcast these allegations without even troubling to see that they are in fact totally unbelievable is irresponsible and a clear attempt to harass and denigrate me.

My position is -- I want to continue editing without finding my work being promptly reverted by Mathsci on spurious grounds accompanied by insults. I can cheerfully undertake not to follow him around either.

If you are handling this dispute, please consider whether these actions by User:Mathsci are appropriate, and whether my proposals are acceptable? If not, and someone else is in charge of the case, please would you advise them, and me? If in fact no-one at all is looking into this, please would you do so? Thanks.

I am aware of the situation and have been following up. We're now in a position where some of the information is best discussed privately, however, you don't have email enabled. Since I do (and I also have numerous other contacts listed at the top of this page), would you please email me or contact me via another method so we can discuss the results of the checkuser specifically and the current issue more generally. Thanks. Shell 20:03, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

I have enabled email. Quotient group (talk) 21:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. You have one waiting. Shell 21:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Articles

Shell, I've done a numbers of articles from a number of sources. Please feel free to review and edit what you feel you need to, but deleting articles sounds a bit drastic. I've always thought that the purpose of Misplaced Pages was to make information available, not exclude it. Sf46 (talk) 20:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Asgardian Arbitration

Thank you for all the hard work you and the rest of the Arbitration Committee put into the case. Your intervention into what has been a three-year problem is much appreciated! Nightscream (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, LPTF

I'd like to get in touch with you sometime tomorrow (Monday) if possible, by IRC, gchat, or preferably voice skype. Let me know if you're available, if not we can figure out a time. Keegan (talk) 05:29, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Hey Keegan - Mondays are unfortunately my busiest spot, but I should be available the rest of the week ;) Shell 14:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Evidence talk page

I think we need to discuss our Evidence and started this section to allow input from others: . I hope this is fully consistent with the purpose of Discussion page. Thank you for your previous comment.Biophys (talk) 21:30, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
