Welcome to Jehochman's Talk Page Please feel free to put your feet on the coffee table, and speak candidly. Or for more better relaxation, stretch yourself luxuriously on the chaise longue in Bishzilla's Victorian parlour and mumble incoherently.

This page needs more maintenance tags. January 2014. Please don't slap orange-box maintenance tags on articles. Time is better spent fixing them. If you don't have time to fix a problem, please use the article talk page to leave comments. Thank you.

Copyright violations

I don't much about the copyright rules, and I tend to blunder in that area, but as you know an editor has found startling similarities between the content of an outside website and Jews and Communism. I've asked him to raise the issue with you here and/or the appropriate noticeboard. He is not an expert on copyright either, but he is familiar with the facts here. Coretheapple (talk) 18:32, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

That would be very interesting indeed, if true. Whether or not it's a copyvio, it could be plagiarism, and it could be evidence of an off-wiki campaign to insert propaganda into the encyclopedia. Jehochman 18:34, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Indeed. In addition to the evidence in the Jimbo thread, Dave Dial discussed it a bit more on his talk page. Coretheapple (talk) 18:37, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

User:DIREKTOR and User:PRODUCER

Could you please provide more concrete evidence to support your block or seek a checkuser? I'm quite aware of these two and they arn't working together. You said there is evidence that each of them deserves to be blocked separately. What is that evidence?--v/r - TP 21:03, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

In the block message of DIREKTOR there are three links. Follow them and read everything. It will take you some time to do the review that I did. Unfortunately, I can't distill it any better than that. There's a lot of material to review.

How are you "quite aware of these two"?

Thirdly, since when has checkuser been able to detect meat puppetry for the purpose of tag team POV pushing? Jehochman 21:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Direktor and Producer have been squabbling with each other for years. Anyone who edits in Eastern European articles are aware of them. They're definely not connected. DeCausa (talk) 21:12, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. What is the basis of disagreement between the two? Jehochman 21:30, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict) So you're proposing that they know each other off Wiki? Do you have any evidence? The two of them have been to ANI uncountable times by POV pushers in the ARBPIA and ARBEE cases, who isn't aware of them and why would that even by a question? WP:ADMINACCT doesn't say that you get to point to long discussions to justify your actions. Provide diffs of specific behavior.--v/r - TP 21:19, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

I'll assemble some diffs. Jehochman 21:30, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
