Thank you for the welcome! And happy holidays to you. NestleNW911 (talk) 00:28, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

You seem to know your way around Misplaced Pages pretty well, have you edited here before? The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 00:32, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty new to Misplaced Pages, although I'm familiar with Facebook and a bit of HTML. Misplaced Pages is still rather new. What can I say, I'm trying to read your stuff prior to posting!  ;) Cheers. NestleNW911 (talk) 00:41, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

I would like to contest the "Shutterbug" investigation on my account – the evidence provided is speculative at best, asserting that I've executed a "similar behavior pattern" to other accounts that have been mentioned in Sockpuppet investigations. There is no empirical evidence, mainly interpretations of my behavior. I have respectfully revealed my identity and interest in Scientology right off the bat. Infact, I joined WikiProject Scientology and http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Neutrality_in_Scientology to establish myself as a contributing Wikipedian that has a great interest in eliminating bias in Scientology-related pages. Additionally, I have not made a single Scientology page edit. I have respectfully taken to the talk pages to propose edits to the administrators. It is with truth and confidence that I say that I have not violated any Misplaced Pages guidelines.

With this in mind, I would like to be acknowledged as a contributing Wikipedian and be rightfully exonerated from the "Shutterbug" investigation. I have no connection to this account, or the other accounts mentioned in the investigation.

Thank you so much. NestleNW911 (talk) 01:32, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Accept reason:

The behavioural evidence is not particularly damning, nor is the CU  Possible and reblocks are easy if I'm wrong. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:37, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

The behavioral evidence appears to support this block in my view. But I'm leaving the unblock request open for others to opine. It might be noteworthy that there has been recently a Shutterbug false positive, see Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard#Ban appeal by User:Turbotad.  Sandstein  11:17, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

I've asked for a fresh set of eyes on this one via WP:AN; for my part, there have been many many controversies surrounding Scientology on wikipedia, and new users who jump right into that contentious area are occasionally found to be sockpuppets, so some suspicion is not unexpected. That said, I don't have the checkuser tools to run this one down. UltraExactZZ ~ Did 16:13, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the acknowledgement. I would like to further emphasize that my activity on Misplaced Pages is not like the other mentioned accounts at all, and that I've looked into the "behavior" of the other accounts and have seen no similarity. I assert that this case was hastily concluded on my expense, and that the evidence is insufficient. I would also like to mention that there has been positive admin response to my proposed edits on the David Miscavige page. I have made a positive contribution to NPOV on the David Miscavige page, and have not been disruptive in any way. That being said, I remain on standby for further action on my case.NestleNW911 (talk) 00:11, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Talkback

Weasel Wording

Hiya! Nice interacting with you over at L Ron Hubbard. I just wanted to clarify that when I cautioned against Weasel Wording it wasn't meant as name calling or insult. Check this out: wp:weasel It basically says to avoid phrases like "some people say" because it denies the reader the ability to judge the claim based on the source. In L Ron Hubbard, you replaced "According to Scientology promotional materials" with "According to some sources" which obscures the fact that it's purely a Scientology church belief and contrary to what the public record says. I understand what you mean that you did not like the claim being called "promotional". So hows this for a solution, restore the proper citation per wiki policy and remove the word "promotional". Leave it as "According to Scientology..." and let the reader decide for themselves weather or not it's believable. Does that sound reasonable? Thanks! :) 69.245.72.101 (talk) 07:29, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

No, thank you 69.245. I was just about to respond to your other Discussions as well. Sorry for the delay. NestleNW911 (talk) 22:17, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Arbcom Case

Nestle, I have opened an Arbcom Case against you here.Coffeepusher (talk) 05:20, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

May I ask a question?

Hi, Nestle. Would you mind a question from me about your relationship to the Church of Scientology? -- BTfromLA (talk) 02:53, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi BTfromLA. Go ahead! NestleNW911 (talk) 00:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Nestle. I'm assuming that you are an active church member (correct?), though I don't know whether you are "staff" or "public" or in the Sea Org. My reading on the subject indicates that scientologists in general are discouraged from reading any material that is skeptical or critical with regard to scientology ("entheta"). Indeed, it seems that folks who do so are subject to "sec checks" that cost time and money and sound entirely unpleasant to me. So, I'm curious about whether you have been asked by the church to post to Misplaced Pages, where you come into regular contact with the critical information, or whether you are doing this without their knowledge, or what. If you are doing this without church supervision, how do you reconcile that with their policy regarding entheta materials? -- BTfromLA (talk) 19:22, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
