Taichung Edit

You reverted the table format at Taichung stating that there were many non-free images. Would you consider reverting to the table format, but replacing the non-free images with the national flag of the country? Would this fix the problem? Please advise me. Jacsam2 (talk) 22:49, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, I can't object to such a table version on image policy grounds, so I wouldn't prevent you from reinstating that in my role as an administrator, but as an editor, I am still opposed to it, on the grounds I and others explained on Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Icons. I very strongly recommend you start listening more carefully to what other editors tell you, because you appear to be editing stubbornly against consensus. I am also not particularly happy you reinstated that list of countries on Byzantine Empire, again without providing a reason for it on the talkpage as you were asked to do. This is edit-warring, and it's not good. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:13, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

I understand and am listening, and apologise for the Byzantine edit, I just thought the objection was for the length added, and not content. The edit was a very time consuming one and I would very much appreciate if you would allow me to revert to it. Also, a concensus has yet to be reached at that page.

ARBMAC restriction on LAz17

I see you weakened the deal that I struck with LAz17, logged at WP:ARBMAC, shortly after it was struck. What's up with that? Toddst1 (talk) 05:24, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Honestly I don't remember the exact details of the situation around that request right now, but as far as I can figure out, I had no intention of interfering with any sanction imposed by you. I imposed an original topic ban, you then added a strengthened version on top of it, then you rescinded your part of the topic ban, leaving mine intact, and I later modified "my" part too. Do you feel it interferes unduly with what you were doing? Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:08, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

No, I'm just trying to figure out what the current restriction is. Toddst1 (talk) 18:18, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Arydberg again

Since you are the warning admin, please take a look at this thread. -- Brangifer (talk) 17:06, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
	Thank you so much for this topic ban. It saved a lot of disruption, both in the form of continued discussion from an editor, and also from the disruption that long and unnecessary dispute resolution causes. Cutting to the chase in such a clear cut case was a wise thing to do. Thanks! -- Brangifer (talk) 00:52, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

STSC evaded his topic-ban using Lvhis as a proxy.

Hi Future Perfect at Sunrise. User:STSC edited a banned article using User:Lvhis as a proxy.

• Lvhis halted to respond to my post to Talk:Senkaku Islands dispute at 21:17, 11 October (UTC).
• STSC requested Lvhis to enable e-mail account of Misplaced Pages at 4:06, 17 October (UTC).
• Lvhis enabled his e-mail account of Misplaced Pages at 23:43, 18 October (UTC).
• STSC sent an e-mail to Lvhis at 01:38, 19 October (UTC).
• Lvhis received the e-mail at 03:56, 19 October (UTC).
• Lvhis edited Talk:Senkaku Islands 14 hours after receiving the e-mail at 17:55, 19 October (UTC).

Lvhis is a SPA and solely editing Senkaku Islands articles. The purpose of STSC's communication with Lvhis by e-mail is nothing other than to suggest Lvhis a proxy editing of the STSC's idea. I think a banned user should not communicate with an editor who is involved in a banned article and discuss about the article. Even if it is not a direct edit request but a simple advice, such an action will affect the editor with STSC's idea. I would appreciate if you could impose an extended period of ban and block on both users as a violation of WP:BAN. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 00:54, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

User:Gersoncharles

Hi. It appears that after his block and your warning of 26 February, Gersoncharles (talk · contribs) has neglected to clean up after his mess of copyright violations. I tried to contact you before about this, but my message was immediately archived.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:01, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

I only see two remaining images contributed by him, which are probably legitimate, and no upload attempts after that warning. Is there other problematic stuff around? Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Topic-banned - user:samofi

Its clear ethnic nationalism of 6-7 Hungarian users, they are canvassing, they contact together by email, they told that Slovakia is neofascist state (http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=454209623). They makes a falsification of history and Iam banned? What exactly is nationalistic in my edits? I used talk:pages and discuss all my edits. But nothing happened to this users (they were reported for a few times), they were not even warned because of their behaviour. They can create a synthesis and original research or fringe theory and it will be no opposition against this original research? Look honestly to this article: Principality of Hungary - is it no reason to discuss it? I started terminological discussion between terms Magar(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/magyar) and Hungarian(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hungarian). Is it nationalistic? Is this an open encyclopedia? This elimination of Slovak history and Slovak Wikipedians is crazy. I see the black future of Misplaced Pages, we will have a big inviolate ideological groups and other significant opinions will be banned. Congratulation, bravo. --Samofi (talk) 08:07, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Fakirbakir

This unpleasantness with Samofi has crossed my path a few times now, and I'm not really trying to get involved, but I had to investigate one thing - please see User talk:Fakirbakir#statement about Slovakia. --Joy (talk) 10:36, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I have just started a section Talk:AltGr_key#Keypress_and_keyboard about this distinction. --Mirokado (talk) 21:43, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
