Previous username

Hello, Your eleventh edit under the Poyani username was an almost perfectly formatted addition to an article, evidencing a prior history with Misplaced Pages. What was your previous username? Thanks, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Brewcaster. I have never had another wikipedia username. I used to edit articles using my IP address. I usually edit science and math articles. It has never a problem except for me except for articles which are about the Middle East. I am trying to move away from that habit and use this username. I was the person who originally added the "South Africa" part to that page, using my IP. Someone removed it. So I put it back a few days later using my username. Cheers.

Wait a minute. The article you are talking about was "almost perfectly formatted" because parts of it are very similar to another article. The nuclear weapons section of the South Africa-IDF relations is identical to a portion of the Israel-South Africa relations article. Poyani (talk) 19:30, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Please make up your mind. Also, I assume the IP address you are referring to is 207.188.69.26, but I don't see any edits to "science or math articles" as you claim. All I see, between the IP and the current username, is an Single Purpose Account dedicated to adding anything derogatory about Israel. Your conflicting and incorrect answers make me ever more suspicious you are a returning banned user, and combined with your editing patters indicate this is something that will have to be brought to the relevant higher authorities.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 13:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

First, I don't think my edits about Israel or the Palestinians are derogatory. Secondly, I use many different computers for edits and I assume my IP address would change over time. If I recall which edit in which science and math article was mine I will point you in that direction. In any case, as I said before, I will stick to this username and will not make changes under any IP address. Note that this username is not new. It is active since (I think) 2007.

Pouyani, batche kooni cheghad duruq mikhai begi? Kiram tu in dahaneh porruht! Quit writing garbage all over and don't try messing with ISRAEL. Enghad mikonimet ta surakh koonet ham kalimi shodeh! Be kosse nanat bekhand wali daste anmaldeh-at az inja vardar! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.251.235.15 (talk) 22:07, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Wow! What is the rule for intimidation and insulting here on Misplaced Pages because this user (which I suspect to be User:Pantherarosa) did just that in Farsi. Poyani (talk) 15:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

1 RR on I-P articles

I am sure you already know this, but just to get all the ducks in a row, I am making you aware that per this, all articles in the Israel-Palestine space are subject to a 1 revert per 24 hours limitation. Ruby Tuesday ALMWR (talk) 20:22, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. I was aware of this policy. But my understanding is that on each Israel-Palestine article each user can revert once per 24 hr period. If my understanding is correct, then I do not believe I have violated this policy. Looking at the Dahiya Doctrine history page, it seems to me that I reverted after over 24 hours. If my interpretation is incorrect, please let me know. Thank you. Poyani (talk) 21:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I have also made a revert of one of your edits. It seems problematic for a few reasons. Do not revert after 24 hours without first engaging in discussion and looking for consensus. Go make a case on the talk page for inconclusion. Cptnono (talk) 04:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

If there is a discussion I won't revert at all. The other user, "Jalapenos do exist" doesn't really engage in any debate. He kept reverting while claiming my edits were OR and that they did not reflect the sources, without explaining any further. My edits did represent sources. His did not! I went into depth and explained the problem but he was simply not interested. Poyani (talk) 14:04, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Cptnono, I noticed that you also provided zero explanation for your revert. Given that between yourself and Jalapenos, you seem to have now done this more than half a dozen times, I am beginning to suspect that you are not acting in good faith. Poyani (talk) 14:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
