    Red crossThis is a failed proposal.
    Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.
    This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
    Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.
    ShortcutThis page is intended to get attention quickly when dealing with personal attacks. It is not intended to serve as a form of mediation or a type of RFC. Only Personal attacks are dealt with on this page, on their own merits in accordance with Misplaced Pages's No Personal Attacks policy

    For editors who want a personal attack situation reviewed:

    1. Consider that in most cases, ignoring the attack is better than requesting sanction against the attacker. Do not report people if you are likewise guilty of hostility towards them.
    2. Make sure the user has actually commited a personal attack. (Please note that "personal attacks" are defined only under the WP:NPA policy. If a statement is not considered a personal attack under the intended spirit of this policy, it does not belong here.)
    3. The editor must have been warned earlier. The {{npa2}}, and {{npa3}} templates may be appropriate for new users; for long-term editors, it's preferable to write something rather than using a standard template. Reports of unwarned editors may be removed.
    4. If the behavior hasn't stopped, add the following header to the New Reports section of this page in the following format:
      ==={{User|NAME OF USER}}=== replacing NAME OF USER with the user name or IP address concerned, with a brief reason for listing below. Be sure to include diffs.
    5. If an editor removes the IP or username and doesn't handle the matter to your satisfaction, take it to the editor's talk page or the administrators' noticeboard, but do not re-list the user here.
    6. NB - Due to misunderstanding of these instructions and/or mis-use of this process, comments not in strict adhereance to these instructions WILL be removed. This page deals only with personal attacks under the policy WP:NPA. Reports deemed to be inappropriate for this page are liable to be moved to an appropriate venue where one exists.


    For those reported on this page:

    1. A reviewer or an administrator will review each report on this page. In dealing with the report, the contribution history of the reported user shall be checked along with the diffs provided in the report. Where no personal attack is evident, then no action will be taken - however, should an administrator see that another seperate issue is evident, appropriate action or advice for that issue may be taken/given at his or her discretion and in line with wiki policy.
    2. Reports on this page stand on their own merits in accordance with Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. As such, disputes and discussions over reports are not suitable for this page except for such comments left by admins or reviewers describing their actions and/or findings. If you notice your account reported at this page, please trust that the administrators and reviewers dealing with reports will deal with it in an even-handed and fair manner on the basis of policy alone. If you feel strongly that another "side to the story", issue, or another piece of information is missing from a report please refrain from posting here, and instead leave your comment on your talk page under the title NPA Report or another other clear and related title. The reviewing party will see this message and take it into account where applicable.

    For users handling assistance requests:

    1. For each of the users linked here, open their contributions and check for personal attacks. Also check if the users have been sufficiently warned for the current personal attack and whether they've continued to commit personal attacks after being warned.
    2. Note that there is an important difference between a user who makes many good contributions and a few personal attacks, and a user whose last edits are (nearly) all personal attacks or other conflict.
    3. Do nothing, warn them again, or, if you are an adminstrator, block the user in question as you think is required. Explain things carefully to the user who listed the attacker if you feel there's been a misunderstanding.
    4. Move the report to the Open Reports section and give an update to the status of the report.
    5. Delete old reports that have been dealt with.

    Please consider adding this page to your watchlist to make life easier for non-administrator RC-patrollers.

    Warnings: Thulean 21:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

    • This user was also given this warning:

    Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Vandalising a user's talk page is a funny way of proving that you aren't a vandal. CMacMillan 00:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

    Technical point here: requests must post diffs rather than links. This is another offshoot of the white people dispute so if another administrator is already on this I'm not going to duplicate their actions. However, if the diffs verify the quotes and if no other admin is dealing with this aspect I'd look into it. This matter really ought to be consolidated in a single action at a centralized place.

    Street Scholar (talk · contribs)

    For this diff of a personal attack

    and my response (to clarify any misunderstandings ) calling me a "racist" repeatedly and then himself makes veiled anti-semitic comments (apparently my being Jewish means I hate all Arab people according to Street Scholar). I would npa warn him, but he has a history of making inflammatory statements against people, getting even more aggravated when warned and finally being blocked for it. I do not wish to escalate his bile any more and request admin intervention.Hkelkar 11:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

    Update:He has made another racist attack against Bengali people here.Hkelkar 20:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

    This isn't the whole story: the first two diffs are in response to other unreferenced posts. I'd like to see a diff for the original "joke" post along with a diff for the strikeout and the apology. Durova 01:18, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

    I provided the diff above. It was an off-the-cuff remark that could be misinterpreted as ethnocentric and I apologized for it in my summary. I provide it again here] In contrast, Street Scholar persists in making racist statements

    . and continues to spam hate sites.There is a post about him on ANI with more information where there his consensus that his behavior is trollish and unacceptable.12:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

    Still personal attacks: 02:09, 11 November 2006. Since he is a coward, he wrote a "civil" message in English, adding the uncivility in Italian: "minchione", which means "moron" . --Panarjedde 01:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

    I don't like that since he's a coward comment at all. That's a personal attack in itself. The insults are relatively mild; however, given this editor's actions and long history of blocks I'll issue 48 hours for this one. If I discover you've made other personal attacks to provoke Deathrocker's comments I'll respond appropriately. Durova 01:33, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
    "If I discover you've made other personal attacks to provoke Deathrocker's comments ": personal attacks to provoke Deathrocker others that what?--Panarjedde 01:40, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
    You've been rather aggressive about this and your post to my user talk page inaccurately suggested that I had not blocked the other editor. I responded in under 15 minutes, issued the block, and refrained from leaving any formal warning on your own talk page. Yet you're unsatisfied? NPA2 was merited from your original request and you're closing in on WP:POINT. Durova 02:42, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

    LSLM (talk · contribs)

    Personal Attacks by LSLM:

    "In fact the article is a mess. I see no solution for this article, as I am tired of repeating. I have said over and over again that unfortunately the term white to refer to people has been hijacked by Neonazis and there is no way out. Veritas et Severitas 02:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)"

    "Dark T., eough is enough. The use of language to hide an agenda is very old. ¨White people are Nordic people¨, ¨Jews are not considered White¨ by whom? by Neo-Nazis of course. That disgusting ideology has no place here to define race, that most malignant of ideologies that was responsible for the death of 50 million Europeans just 60 years ago. I am not going to repeat over and over again the same things and be contributing endlessly. I have a life. Genetics and human decency kicks in the ass that ideology and people like you who insist on defining race following that ideology. Whenever I find tendencious comments trying to define race according to Nordicist/Neo-Nazi propaganda I will revert it and I hope that other decent people will do it too. Veritas et Severitas 12:57, 7 November 2006 (UTC)"

    "Sorry, but if a duck talks like a duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck, it is a duck. Veritas et Severitas 13:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)"

    "I do believe that Scandinavians are exactly as European as anyone else and that the genetic diversity among all peoples in the world is just marginal. I just hope that readers from Scandinavia are not offended. I know the place and they are among the most polite people and least racist people on earth. But some people like you need a response. So, stop trying to use information about which you have no clue and stop using this site for your Nordicist agenda, that is ludicrous in the light of 21st century knowlegede.Veritas et Severitas 19:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)"

    "Man, your ignorance is such that I am not going to discuss with you anymore. I just hope that you leave this place alone. Veritas et Severitas 19:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)"

    "I am glad that other people can see Thulean´s nazi approach. I hope that some administrators can block this guy.Veritas et Severitas 21:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)"

    Warnings to LSLM:

    , Thulean 21:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

    Comment - Can truth be an attack? Because in context those remarks make complete sense. BenBurch 21:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

    LSLM is totally innocent. Thulean is the one who should be investigated: his behaviour and his continued threats are highly disruptive.
    He's just using this as "legal" platform to try to scare honest and serious wikipedians from staying in his way. --Sugaar 22:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
    Please move this matter to WP:RFI. Durova 03:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: This is an emotive issue, there are understandably strong feelings on both sides. I've had some dealings with Veritas in the past and he can get quite het up about things, but he's never made personal attacks, though he has questioned other editors motives. I don't think this constitutes a personal attack. Many people here on wikipedia have some sort of agenda, many people are just ignorant of proper wikipedia policies on WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:NOR, many people are just ignorant of modern research and are clinging to old fashioned ideologies because that's what they know and understand and many just want to produce a reliable encyclopaedia. Certain articles are always going to be more sensitive than others and I don't think it is an attack to infer a person's political beliefs from opinions they have expressed themselves. I also don't think it can be considered a personal attack to question someones motives. Implying someone is a nazi based on their contributions and stated opinions isn't really a personal attack. Veritas doesn't actually call Thulean a nazi anywhere, he just says that much of what Thulean is expressing is identical to nazi ideology. All Thulean has to do is deny it. Thulean may or may not hold these ideologies I am entirely disinterested, but to point out that his opinions reflect those of nazism is not an attack. Alun 03:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
    I dont think things like quoting Oxford English Dictionary can be seen as identical to Nazi ideology. I welcome anyone to see page diffs. Thulean 12:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

    Administrator blows referee whistle - this board is not a request for comments. Durova 04:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

    The page already has an RFC (that I initiated as first measure) but this has gone beyond all measure, with T. trying to push everyone against the ropes and trying to scare them with warnings (official or his own unofficial ones, with which he spams other users' talk pages), while POV-pushing editing the page at will.
    The page already has an RFM (Cabal) and several RFIs. What the page needs is direct administrator intervention and declining Thulean's vitimist PAIN demands that can only strenghen his position and scare off honest, estabilished, responsible wikipedians, like LSLM, myself or whoever happens to be next. --Sugaar 11:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
    WP:PAIN has a limited purpose and that's to address personal attacks. We can't handle WP:NPOV here and this isn't dispute resolution. This case is complicated and as I stated last time it came to this board WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL have to be taken in context. Certain hot button words are unavoidable when the topic under discussion actually is Nazism and racism; when someone chooses a username that can be found on the titles to Nazi websites and chooses to edit the white people article, those actions do invite comparison. Still, no matter how much one user might deplore what appears to be another editor's beliefs, site policy doesn't grant a license to be rude. Another administrator has already been addressing this matter, probably in response to a different noticeboard post, and the matter is in mediation. That means my intervention would be redundant and I'm rather glad it's redundant: my responsibility as an administrator is to measure behavior against policy regardless of ideology - and as I caution at User talk:Durova/Admin an appeal to personal beliefs may compel me to recuse myself. So right now I'll take no action because it's already being handled. If some other administrator drops the ball and you need to return to this board, post evidence and diffs rather than statements of opinion because I am very close to recusing myself. Durova 01:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Thule means ceiling in greek, ceiling of the world, as in Northern countries. It also means Iceland in ancient Greek literature. It was also a planet in a sci-fi book I have read in secondary school. And finally I like the way it sounds in English (-th- sound). It's not my fault Nazis use it. I understand its connection to White people page but I think it's silly that such comparisons are made not on the basis of my arguments (again, I welcome anyone to check page diffs) but simply based on my nick. People should be careful with their knee-jerk reactions, especially when it's insulting, and especially after being warned. Thulean 02:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
    If you wish to ask questions about Misplaced Pages policies I recommend Misplaced Pages:Adopt-a-user. I have already declared that this request is on hold due to another administrator's intervention. If another irrelevant post is added I will recuse myself from this and all related threads.

    This user threatened me and others in the past and got several admin warnings , , including a Personal Attacks - Last Warning . He was quiet for a month now but his last contributions attacked a bot and myself with threaten me that I get banned from Misplaced Pages and charging me for issues that I have never done and that are clearly outside of Misplaced Pages.

    The following is an excerpt of what has been left on my talk page: "I 'm proud of being White, because Whites created civilization. You are probably some fucking nigger. Whatever you are, you are completely immature."

    Although, admittadly, I started this by attacking his "white supremacist" ideology, I believe that the language and attack here are unacceptable. I am not of African origin, but my Girlfriend is, and this is deeply offensive. Where I have explained and outline my attacks and arguments against this users ideology to this user, he retorts with that. I would ask that he be perminantly banned. He is clearly not a good influence on wikipedia, and a person like him able to influence and edit this site quite frankly scares me. - Izzo —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.150.148.91 (talk)
