Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Kossack4Truth for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. (above added by Wikidemo, 10:34, 8 June 2008
Do not edit others' talk page comments
Please do not edit others' talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Barack Obama. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. Shem 17:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Without diffs, I have no idea what you're fulminating about. If you are talking about headers, you don't own them, and you don't get to use them argumentatively, per policy. Andyvphil (talk) 00:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay, diff:. Changing a section head can shift the meaning of a user comment. In this case, the edited head restricts the comments to "Option 1 Supporters," and that was not there when Shem made his comment. Changing section heads can be done when it's helpful, but not if it is partisan. That new section head was quite possibly offensive. (I have not followed the arguments enough to be sure that it was, but that Shem protested is prima facie evidence that it was. It was his comments whose context was altered by the shifted head, and he was the one who had added the heading and the comment under it. Thus it was a changing of user comments, and, while a mild example of it, does seem to be inappropriate. However, the editing of the section header in your own Talk page is clearly offensive. I'd say, Andyvphil, that you may be trolling to get blocked. And then you will be able to scream that it was unfair, you were only editing your own Talk page. But altering user comments on your talk page, and that is what happens when you edit a section header, if done offensively, as you did here, is clearly not acceptable. Don't say you were not warned.--Abd (talk) 01:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Reread what I told Shem above and follow the blue link I supplied: "A heading should indicate what the topic is, but not communicate a specific view about it." "This is a policy matter, and this poll is not useful for establishing consensus" is an unsuitable header and if fixing the header shifts Shem's meaning or is "offensive" (which I deny) he needs to change his posting behavior, not whine to me about my refusal to let him "own" the page. Andyvphil (talk) 05:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
I tried to be as civil as possible in my reminder, but you're making your own bed, Andy. You've been reported at AN/I. Shem 05:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- Andyvphil -- while it is true that "a heading should indicate what the topic is," I believe that if someone leaves a comment on your talk page, and that is the only comment under that section, editing the heading (as you did here is entirely inappropriate. The "wider latitude on own talk page" that you refer to does not apply to refactoring other's comments, and in my opinion, changing the section header of a warning constitutes refactoring (unlike changing the section heading of an ongoing discussion, which can be useful at times).
- The ANI report will sort out whether your other modifications to talk page headings were appropriate. But I would give you this advice: If you don't like a warning on your talk page, remove it (that is acceptable under WP:DRC). Don't refactor it in an antagonistic fashion. Thanks. --Jaysweet (talk) 15:29, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Blocked for 1 month
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month in accordance with Misplaced Pages's blocking policy for ongoing disruptive editing, including incivility, personal attacks, altering other editors' posts, tendentiousness, and a fundamentally argumentative and uncollaborative approach to editing. Please stop. You're welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. MastCell 17:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)I've noted this block at WP:AN/I for review and feedback. MastCell 17:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).Andyvphil (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Request unblock for sole purpose of responding to allegations at AN/I and SSP. I will make no edits outside those venues until the ban is lifted or lifts. Andyvphil (talk) 21:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Decline reason:
That is not a reason to unblock you, as it does not address how your block is supposed to violate blocking policy. You are not blocked becaused of allegations, but because of specific misconduct. You may make any pertinent comments here, by means of a brief and well-reasoned unblock request. — Sandstein 21:58, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
I am not now alleging that the block violated policy, though I reserve the option to make that argument in the future. I am requesting parole for the specific purpose of responding to allegations being made against me. WP:BP:"Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Misplaced Pages, not to punish users." Also, however, "administrators should not undo other administrators' blocks without prior discussion", so I have no objection to your passing on this unblock request to MastCell without acting on it yourself.

Comment on the unblock request
Ordinarily, I'd think the request for unblock to allow the user to defend himself from allegations would be reasonable. However, the offenses for which the user was blocked included personal attack in the very areas (and certainly in the SSP report) where the user now wishes to "answer" allegations. If the user could, here, cite allegations requiring response, then an administrator could review those specifically, and then balance the benefit of allowing the user to respond against the hazard of further disruption from continued personal attack and tendentious debate. --Abd (talk) 22:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- I concur with Abd's observations. — Athaenara ✉ 06:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- There is a template somewhere which allows a user to use a section of his user talk page, which is transcluded in the necessary place on the target page. This would probabally be a better route to take than unblocking. If this user then breaks policy, then all that needs to be done is the template removed from the target page, and the user then cannot comment on it again. I think this would be a reasonable option, but I can't remember what the template is called. :-) Stwalkerster 09:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- No need any template to just show a thread from this talk page, just use this: {{User talk:Andyvphil#Comment on the unblock request}} (or what ever section one chooses) at the target site. Now a template to provide the link back to edit would be nice as current thread link would need to be: (but that checking of sectgion number is messy) 13:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I think there is a simpler solution. Anyone could place a note in the two places that prominently states that the user wishes to comment on or respond to allegations made in those places, pointing to this section of the user's Talk, or to a section that Andyvphil creates. (Unless Andyvphil abuses his Talk to continue to make personal attacks, I'm opposed to preventing him from editing his own Talk. Note that he did previously abuse his right to edit his own Talk page, turning section headers placed by other users into attacks on them. However, there is little harm from risking a repeat of this, and the damage would be confined, and only be visible to those who choose to read his Talk. And, of course, I'd think that if he repeats his prior behavior here, he'd be promptly blocked from editing here as well as elsewhere.) If he asks, I'm willing to place the notices for him, and, indeed, if he wishes, to either use a brief and not aggressive notice that he suggests, or, if I can't do that, to submit my version for his approval before placing it. If desired, that notice could be later turned into a permanent link to a version of this page, when discussion here is completed.--Abd (talk) 14:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
A fair right of reply is generally understood to involve equal prominence for accusations and reply, but given my low opinion of the admins involved it's unsurprising that I should only be offered the right of nearly invisible reply. I will supply the necessary headers. Andyvphil (talk) 23:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, Andyvphil, you already had a right of reply. Your replies abused the privilege, in my opinion. I said that I was willing to place notices if they were brief and not aggressive, if I was asked. I don't see that I have been asked; my offer remains open, but I assume that there are other users who could do it, if they are willing to take the risk. However, without being asked, I will comment on the headers provided, here, before them, rather than within the sections, and give a piece of advice to anyone considering placing them on behalf of Andyvphil.
- About the "bogus accusations of sock puppetry." I don't see accusations of sock puppetry in that SSP report; rather, there were reported "suspicions" of sock puppetry. Given the circumstances, the suspicions were justified. Suspicion is not accusation, though sometimes the distinction gets lost. I was once "suspected" of sock puppetry, with an SSP report. The suspicion was reasonable -- if one neglected a huge amount of evidence to the contrary, and I don't expect administrators to be paying attention to everything. They make mistakes. I've also been "accused" of sock puppetry. By a blocked editor who has stated that he has other accounts so he wasn't worried about his block, and when he still wants to harass, he uses a particular IP range. The accusations were very different from the suspicions. Suspecting sock puppetry isn't a personal attack. Accusing someone of sock puppetry, absent proof, can be.
- However, that is a fine distinction. Absent objection, if Andyvphil asks me to do so, I would place a link to that section here, with the SSP report, assuming it hasn't been closed by then. If it *has* been closed, it should be noticed that no conclusion was reached on whether or not Andyvphil was using a sock puppet. If Andyvphil wishes, I'd make an RFCU request. Otherwise, I don't think I'll do it. Someone else may make that request, it's possible. And that request would not be an "accusation" of sock puppetry, it would be an attempt to rule out sock puppetry, because suspicion remains reasonable, not clearly proven neither way. (It is almost impossible to prove no sock puppetry, to be sure, for there are sophisticated puppet masters who know how to evade detection, but it's a pain to maintain the necessary separation, and most puppet masters, I think, don't do it, or, sometimes, they make mistakes, they forget which account they are using....)
- As to the link designed for the AN/I report, I consider it tendentious, itself. AN/I reports almost always describe alleged misbehavior, in the header. When you are calling the police, you don't make some "neutral" statement, you say, "Someone is trying to break into my house!" AN/I is an emergency noticeboard. I went back and forth on this, and concluded that I won't place a prominent link to that there. It's wikilawyering, attempting, after it is moot, to argue a point about an alleged violation of a section header guideline. When, quite obviously, that guideline is routinely not applied in AN/I. I would place, "Andyvphil wishes to respond to accusations made here against him , and a section on his talk page has been created: Response to and discussion of AN/I accusations." If he asks in time. There has already been mention of Talk page discussion there in the AN/I report, but I don't see any response here to any accusations, just a criticism of the Talk page header. The sock puppetry suspicion was irrelevant to the AN/I report.
- Frankly, Andyvphil, I think you are wasting your time beating a dead horse. You've been blocked for a month. I don't see any sentiment at all for reducing that, and some for converting it to indef or to a ban. Is that what you want?
- Now, advice to others thinking of placing the links. If it is done in a neutral manner, I think the risk of being sanctioned for it is low, unless one argues tendentiously over it. But there might be some wikitrout-slapping. We don't argue for the sake of argument, at least we shouldn't. We debate when there is a decision to be made. Community consensus is already clear: Andyvphil was grossly uncivil, in addition to editing tendentiously. The tendentious editing, itself, might or might not have resulted in a block, if it didn't go beyond obvious limits. But the incivility, against editors, groups of editors, and any administrator who dared to restrain Andyvphil, was quite enough. An administrator is not allowed to block someone who is uncivil to him or her. Rather, an administrator may block someone for violating policy not involving the administrator personally, and particularly if continued after warning. Andyvphil was warned many, many times for incivility. I did not see, however, any insulted administrator seeking to influence other administrators to block Andyvphil, they were quite restrained. (They are not required to be so restrained, an admin can, indeed, complain to AN/I about incivility from a user, just as any other editor may.) There is no issue here with sufficient support to justify continued debate. If Andyvphil thinks otherwise, he's still able to use this talk page. But if all he wants to do is to complain about the form of an AN/I section header, he may well lose even that privilege.
- Further, if Andyvphil continues to think that he was wronged in some way, he remains free to pursue dispute resolution. I'm not familiar with the exact process, but if there is a charge of administrative abuse, a request for arbitration could be made, and ArbComm would decide whether or not to hear the case. But I have not seen any charges here, with any substance to them, of administrative abuse. Note the unblock request: "I am not now alleging that the block violated policy." Unless you change your mind, Andyvphil, the rest of all this is largely moot. Why should the community allow any more space to be filled with debate over ... what? People are blocked precisely to stop endless debate that has gone beyond bounds. --Abd (talk) 02:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Just as a brief interjection, I personally find a month long block excessive. I do see that Andyvphil's participation often turns up the heat, and that he is not the image of a collaborative and easygoing editor. On the other hand, his reasoning is often sound (even if I disagree) and he is not intractably stubborn on content issues as many other editors can be. I would be very strongly opposed to an indefinite block/ban. Avruch * 22:05, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Avruch, the issue is not his "reasoning." He isn't blocked for his political positions. He is blocked for disruption, and, specifically, for the kind of disruption that breaks down the core of how Misplaced Pages operates, he was blocked for incivility. The incivility was severe enough to warrant exactly the block that was given, he'd already been warned many times. He is, here, arguing against technicalities. Did he violate 3RR? But the substance is clear. Whether he violated 3RR or not, he was edit warring, which is a blockable offense. Edit warring can be a grey area. I sometimes use reverts and sometimes push the 3RR limit. If an administrator blocked me, unless I could show clear bias, and that was relevant, I'd not attack the administrator. Instead, I would either say, "Oops! My bad!" and move on, or I would argue that my edit warring was justificed under WP:IAR or other policy. And if no admin would unblock me, I'd say, "That's the consensus, get over it" and move on. Consensus is what this community runs on, and defiance of consensus (not merely in disagreeing with it, which is necessary, we don't have real consensus if disagreement is sanctioned) is the soul of disruption. Now, back to Andyvphil's prior response: --Abd (talk) 15:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- What I'm blocked for is supposedly "ongoing disruptive editing, including incivility, personal attacks, altering other editors' posts, tendentiousness, and a fundamentally argumentative and uncollaborative approach to editing." What I'm actually being blocked for, in my view, is an unsparing response to a pattern of administrative abuse. You say you "sometimes use reverts and sometimes push the 3RR limit". Which is to say you edit war. Of course you do. It is impossible to get anything accomplished in controversial areas of Misplaced Pages without edit warring, as Norotron just demonstrated by counterexample at Barack Obama, where he assembled a majority of editors behind at least an anodyne mention of Bill Ayers in the text and watched helplessly as both mentions of Ayers were removed from the page because the resident clique of Obama hagiographers were willing to put reverts behind their arguments and he was not. He finally made good on his repeated promise to withdraw in a a huff, having accomplished less than nothing... and having learned nothing, since he blamed the result equally on the editors unwilling to join him in accepting less-than-adequate wording without noticing that that too could not be put on the page without winning an edit war with the hagiographers.
- I support blocks for actual 3RR violations. That way a preponderance of editors can have their way on the page most of the time, which is what "rough consensus" really means. And, in principle, blocks for "edit warring" when no 3RR violation has taken place could, when "behavior is clearly disruptive"(WP:3RR), be justified. But in practice that loophole is in my experience licence for arbitrary and disruptive intervention by editors with an admin bit who cannot be trusted to make good decisions or even look closely into the facts of the cases the intervene in. And a consensus of admins in refusing to unblock you, in the example you gave, would IMHO merely be merely a consensus in favor of treating admin sanctions on peons as infallable if at all possible, not an actual consensus based on knowledge that you had in fact done anything deserving the block.

That you claim you "weren't asked" and yet accuse me of "wikilawyering" is absurd.
As is the assertion that I can pursue dispute resolution while blocked, though you admit you don't know how that might be done and you are preventing me from stating my case in any venue where it might be seen, or creating such a venue.
In what way is "Further responses by Andyvphil to AN/I section named, contrary to guideline, 'Tendentious editing by User:Andyvphil" Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Andyvphil'" unduly tendentious? Whether or not the guideline is routinely ignored at AN/I, there is no exemption in the guideline for AN/I and as far as I can see you do not argue that the header does not violate the guideline absent such an exemption. My header would violate the guideline, of course, if anyone argues that the AN/I header does not violate the guideline, but if you don't object to guideline violation at AN/I and Talk:Barack_Obama it's in any case a bit late to object to it here. That individuals are blocked to stop debate is an interesting admission. That you would break your freely offered word in order to stop debate more interesting still. Andyvphil (talk) 21:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
...But I will nonetheless give you the opportunity to break your word again. You said you will RFCU if I request it. I hereby request it. Again. Andyvphil (talk) 22:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Andy, sit back and ask yourself if the wording of section headers on talkpages (not articles, even!) is really worth all of this. I'll foreshadow the expected conclusion - no, it isn't. What do you truly gain by refactoring the headers of others, or arguing about it on article talkpages, at AN/I and your own talkpage? Its not like we can't see and identify for ourselves when a section header is biased or leading. We can, and it isn't necessary to war over it. Avruch * 22:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- What it was worth to change the header to reflect the guideline is not the issue. Shem reported me at AN/I for "tendentious editing" for changing a header at Talk:Barack_Obama in a way that I am contending was completely unobjectionable. The first step in unpacking the kitchen sink of un-diffed justifications Mastcell offers for blocking me is to establish that the original accusation was unjustified abuse of process. Since I fully expect that Mastcell will again ignore his obligation to provide transparency for his decisions as an admin (he has never justified his assertion that I had performed "5+" reverts in his first block of me), and will not be held accountable for that, there is little that I can expect to happen. But I plan to clarify the record insofar as possible and make unremittingly clear my contempt for the pattern of abuse that has taken place and appears to be SOP. Andyvphil (talk) 22:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- How about this for wikilawyering: my offer to request checkuser is not binding, void for lack of consideration. Serious lack of consideration. It's a pain to do it, it's late, and I'm tired. I've been working on an actual article, you know, one of those things. I may file checkuser, I may not. So, we are even. I didn't break my promise about taking the comments to AN/I, I merely wanted the request to be clear. But you've already accused me of breaking my promise, so, hey, why not accommodate you? Maybe I will. But there are others who are more accustomed to filing RFCU. I did it once long ago. So if someone else does it before I get around to it, I certainly won't be offended. Got any friends? Anyone could do it, you know. I'm not an administrator, I have no special privileges. Just enough children and grandchildren, twelve and counting, not to be bullied by accusations of not keeping promises. --Abd (talk) 02:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- To explain this a little further, I tell my neighbor that I will do something for him if he asks, something that anyone could do, and my telling him is an open suggestion. I also say that I reserve the right to not approve of what the neighbor provides me so that I can fulfill my promise. He doesn't ask, he simply provides the raw material for the task, which anyone could use. When I point out that I won't do it unless he asks, he accuses me of insincerity, of nitpicking details ("wikilawyering"). Now, I also said I'd do something else, something that is actually more work. He now, essentially, demands that I do it, daring me not to, since if I don't do it, I will be, presumably, breaking my promise.
- Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Two inmates are in the same jail. One is confined to his cell, the other can roam the halls freely. The relatively free one says to the confined one, "I'll get you some water if you ask." The confined inmate insults the free one, then demands the water. I can tell you, as that free inmate ("Are the birds free from the chains of the skyway"), I'm in no hurry to provide the water. ("If you ask" includes an implied, "If you ask politely.") Anyone can do it. Anyone can file checkuser. Avruch, you could do it. I've only done it once. The suspected puppet master here would be Andyvphil, with the suspected puppets being the other named accounts and any IP edits that Andyvphil didn't acknowledge as his. Checkuser should probably be filed, anyway, just to make sure. (My opinion is, at this point, that there is probably no direct connection, that what was going on would be meat puppetry *at worst*. But I did not examine the details of the SSP report. The two newer accounts were not found to be connected, but Andyvphil wasn't in the picture when the orignal RfCU was filed. He'd like to be cleared, I'd like to see that aspect of this case cleared up. So I do support filing RfCU, and if it is done, and I'm informed, I'd comment in it.) --Abd (talk) 15:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- The hand isn't feeding me and you're not a fellow inmate, except to the extent that Misplaced Pages is an asylum. And maybe I've escaped from that. I made a reasonable request that I be allowed to answer the accusations against me (including those made by you) in the places where they were being made, and you offered the bogus alternative of invisible or nearly invisible response. It serves my argument not to refuse the offer but rather to confirm by test how bogus it is, but I won't thank you for that opportunity to waste my time. Andyvphil (talk) 21:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Further responses by Andyvphil to bogus accusation of sockpuppetry
Further responses by Andyvphil to AN/I section named, contrary to guideline, "Tendentious editing by User:Andyvphil"
I just noticed that the content of the tendentiously-titled AN/I section, "Tendentious editing by User:Andyvphil", has been moved to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/User:Andyvphil. That no one has commented on the fact that Ncmvocalist apparently systematically sees pro-hagiographic edit warring as less objectionable than the opposition to it is interesting. When an admin doesn't edit an article it doesn't mean he is unbiased -- merely that you have to look to other evidence (e.g., which edits he finds objectionable) to see what his biases are. Scjessey saying he hasn't violated 3RR isn't even funny, though the fact that he's done it so often without corresponding reflection on his block log seems to be a result of that kind of bias. The evidence points to Misplaced Pages admins being a fairly pro-Obama demographic, with predictable results in their kangaroo courts. That said, I don't care whether Obama has 1RR or 3RR provided it is enforced as a rule and admins refrain from checking their biased guts for whether a violation of a penumbra of the rule has taken place. Of course, perhaps the worst atrocity that was committed in this sequence of events didn't involve reverts at all. Jossi's block of FoveanAuthor as a sockpuppet merely because he was on the same side as Kossack, and without any due diligence, takes that cake. Andyvphil (talk) 22:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I also want to direct a question at Noroton regarding his statement that, "In any event, since information on Ayers has been discussed and no consensus has been reached, it can't be restored to the page unless a consensus forms to do so. Edits that add Ayers material should be reverted at this point." Is it really his position that well cited non-tendentious material whose presence was supported by a majority at talk page discussion can be vetoed in this fashion? Andyvphil (talk) 23:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Are you sure that you want your first comment posted on the AN/I subpage? I'm not sure that it will improve leniency towards you and your cause and may, in fact, negatively impact you and your cause. Would it be possible for you to rewrite your first comment to not include the personal attacks? --Bobblehead 23:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC) PS: The noincludes are so my comment won't be included if this section is transcluded.
- I turned off the noincludes -- hope you don't mind. Feel free to restore them if you do. Put it around this comment and I'll refactor to restore the parts I want. Anyway, my "cause" isn't leniency. My cause is to be as clear as possible in my accusations of arrogant, biased and abusive admin behavior. It's clear that that's really what I was blocked for, not changing headers on my talk page, still less the ones at talk:B_O and AN/I. What Jossi did was both inexcusable and reflective of a larger problem, and I have no intention of pretending that the pissed upon and the pissers are happy comrades in arms in a joint endeavor. Andyvphil (talk) 09:21, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- Andy, please calm down. There is a way to edit the article constructively. Please cooperate with me. You really need to control your anger or you will become completely ineffective. You will be indefinitely blocked if you keep this up. Control your anger and in a calm and rational manner, state your case in neutral terms against the admins. It will be addressed. Kossack4Truth (talk) 11:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Andy, anything you want to say on the subpage of the noticeboard should be inside the onlyinclude tags. Anything you want to say here that you don't want on the board subpage should be said outside those tags, or inside separate noinclude tags. Avruch * 00:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. And also for your kind words on my actual editing of maintext, etc. Andyvphil (talk) 09:39, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification
Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Chinese apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 17:48, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Editing survey
Hi. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic “current events” articles on Misplaced Pages. I have noticed in the talk page archives at Barack Obama that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below.
Link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=P6r2MmP9rbFMuDigYielAQ_3d_3d

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

The Great American Wiknic
Hi there! In the past, you've expressed an interest in local meetups of Wikipedians. Well, here's your chance! On Saturday, June 25, we'll be joining Wikipedians in cities all over the country for the first annual Great American Wiknic -- the picnic that anyone can edit! We'll meet up at a park in SF -- hopefully in the sun -- all other details are still in deliberation!
If this sounds fun, please add your name to the list: Misplaced Pages:Meetup/San Francisco/Wiknic and add that page to your watchlist. (And of course, feel free to edit that page with your ideas, questions, etc.) I look forward to wiknicking with you! -Pete (talk) 00:15, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

No personal attacks, please.
Hi, Andyvphil. I'll dispense with the flowery wording and cut straight to the chase: please cease with the personal attacks and commenting on editors, such as the ones on the article talk page and in edit summaries like this one. Also, you are welcome and encouraged to participate in the ongoing content discussions, but edit warring your content changes into the article while that very content is being discussed in 3 separate RfCs and 2 noticeboards is disruptive. Please help us to achieve consensus in those ongoing discussions before implementing your edits. Thanks, Xenophrenic (talk) 03:14, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
WP:BAIT - 3RR
Don't take it. A resolution to the clear violation of WP:YESPOV in the Swiftboating article resides in this RfC. What the article currently contains or does not contain is irrelevant and will ultimately be predicated upon the interpretation and application of WP:POLICY. Utilizing the ongoing process for that determination is the way forward, not ad hoc edit-warring or tit-for-tat goaded ventures into ad hominem. Just my .02 JakeInJoisey (talk) 13:51, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Andyvphil. You have new messages at JakeInJoisey's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
JakeInJoisey (talk) 11:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
February 2012
Your recent editing history at Swiftboating shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. ----Snowded 10:12, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

White Hispanic
How can someone be a "white Hispanic" when his mother is Peruvian and his father described the family as "multiracial"? Mythic Writerlord (talk) 09:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Ask the New York Times. Check my edit comment -- I said it deserved derision. But I will note that there's an assertion in the Hispanic section of the talk page of some prior use. Andyvphil (talk) 10:14, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Zimmerman identifying as Hispanic is already in the article if you scroll down a little. How did Martin identify? Mythic Writerlord (talk) 10:32, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- I assume "Black" but have seen no RS for Martin's self-identification, unless you count his Twitter handles, etc. The lede is a summary. It is expected that it will repeat some of what is summarized, though some things can be said once in the lede alone. GZ is Hispanic, and executing a WP:WEASEL is uncalled-for obfuscation. What's the point? Andyvphil (talk) 10:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Edit-a-thon tomorrow (Saturday) in Oakland
Hi, I hope you will be joining us tomorrow afternoon at the Edit-a-thon at Tech Liminal, in Oakland. We'll be working on articles relating to women and democracy (and anything else that interests you). It's sponsored by the California League of Women Voters, Tech Liminal, and me.
If this is the first you are hearing of this event, my apologies for the last-minute notice! I announced it on the San Francisco email list and by a banner on your watchlist, but I neglected to look at the San Francisco invitation list until this evening. If you can't make it this time, I hope to see you at a similar event soon! -Pete (talk) 04:39, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter
Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.
Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
- Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
- Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
- Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.
Other contributors of note include:
- Sven Manguard (submissions), whose Portal:Massachusetts is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores.
- Sasata (submissions), whose Mycena aurantiomarginata was the first featured article this year.
- Muboshgu (submissions) and Wizardman (submissions), who both claimed points for articles in the Major League Baseball tie-breakers topic, the first topic points in the competition.
- Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), who claimed for the first full good topic with the Casting Crowns studio albums topic.
Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...
March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!
A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Editing at Shooting of Michael Brown
I've noticed that on a couple of occasions (, ) you've edited the bystander heard on video section of the Shooting of Michael Brown article to reflect that the bystander account "supports" the police account. The source making this claim unambiguously is not an RS, and the only RS for the claim hedges considerably. We've discussed at length on the article's talk page how best to reflect the account in light of that. Please bring this up at the talk page if you'd like to reopen the matter instead of editing the article against consensus. Thanks. Dyrnych (talk) 05:30, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Shooting of Michael Brown talk
Your edit this morning included an alteration of my comment to which you were responding. I would imagine that you're aware of Misplaced Pages's policy on altering other editors' comments: "ever edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning" (emphasis in original). I'm assuming that it was a mistake, but I'd remind you that the policy is not a suggestion. Dyrnych (talk) 18:07, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- Your assumption is correct. It was inadvertent. Damn touchpad sensitivity on this laptop sometimes changes the point at which I am typing to the cursor location (and the OS installed on it when I got it doesn't match Dell's documentation on how to turn the touchpad off). That was probably it. Sorry. Andyvphil (talk) 05:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Apologies
I reverted your edit on Shooting of Michael Brown thinking that you'd removed the material about Brown's criminal record. You didn't, and I apologize for stating that you'd done that in disregard of the ongoing RFC. Dyrnych (talk) 06:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- I thought that was the case, and reverted. Np. Andyvphil (talk) 06:25, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Brown Article
Hi, I think that you and I are trying to get to the same balance point in the Lede. But our styles differ. I think that you are adding information to create balance while I would prefer to remove the statements that create the imbalance. Does that make any sense? --Kevin Murray (talk) 15:26, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- It makes sense, but it's incomplete. I first tried to remove the meritless and unimportant complaints about FPD's release of the convenience store video, and only tried to add the rebuttal after that was reverted. Andyvphil (talk) 15:55, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. I tried a new approach, which I think is less objectionable and got some support. Your thoughts? Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 16:43, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
September 2014
Your recent editing history at Shooting of Michael Brown shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Dyrnych (talk) 05:27, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Please be aware that this edit is also likely to be viewed as yours, per WP:DUCK. Dyrnych (talk) 05:27, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've got one revert, provoked by your inane assertion that the success of of you and a few others in reverting back to "man" in the face of repeated attempts to fix your bad choice somehow represents a "consensus". In fact I do not recall ever having got involved in the "man"/"teen" controversy in the article until offering as an original substitute, "youth". I and others have repeatedly objected to "man" and the related omission of "18-year-old" from the lede, rendering your claim of a "consensus" obtunded, not to say tiresome. "Consensus" is not the success you have managed in the slow-motion edit war you have engaged in. Having watched your behavior I would be very surprise if you have not actually violated 3RR, and I suggest you consider very carefully whether you wish to motivate me to do the necessary research.
- The sole diff you provide is to an edit by Bander.Quraishi, his sole edit . It's not surprising that a drive-by reader is struck by the inappropriateness of your substitute of the mature "man" for the near-universal in RS use "teen" or similar to refer to the 18 yr 2.5 mo Brown, as the nuttiness of what goes on behind the curtain a Misplaced Pages is not generally known, and it's an easy first "fix". Your implication that he is my sockpuppet on no evidence whatsoever is offensive in the extreme. Andyvphil (talk) 06:14, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- By my count you have something like five reverts in the last 24 hours, counting the duck. Do you seriously contend that an uninvolved admin would examine the user's single edit that just happens to have been made right on the heels of your second revert to keep your preferred wording in the article and conclude anything other than that it's a sock? Whether it was you or not, I guarantee you that the edit would be attributed to you. Dyrnych (talk) 06:35, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Also, don't threaten me. If you think I've violated 3RR, "do the necessary research." I'll be happy to defend my edits in the appropriate forum. Dyrnych (talk) 06:41, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- "don't threaten me". LOL. Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. I have no way to evaluate your claim about reverts since you've provided no diffs except to the edit I did not make. Does it include my undoing your revert that you admitted was made in error? Andyvphil (talk) 06:56, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- FWIW, it looks like the RfC will result in the addition of "18-year-old" so that "teen" won't be needed. Note that I'm in a similar situation waiting for the RfC regarding "no criminal record". Also, I looked at the sockpuppetry thing and it doesn't look like there's enough evidence for that, although I don't know whether WP:SPI would investigate. I think it's better to let this die on your talk page, rather than to put the seed of doubt about you into the minds of editors on the article Talk page where it would be disruptive. --Bob K31416 (talk) 15:35, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- We disagree. Dyrnych's attempt to intimidate me is what is disruptive. I prefer to expose it to the light of day, where one can hope for a fumigative effect. Some of the admins are as half-baked as he is, so there's no telling what might happen if he pursues this, but so be it. Andyvphil (talk) 08:21, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- Note that Dyrnych's comment was made on your talk page so that it wasn't disruptive to the article talk page. I'm sorry that it was disruptive for you personally. --Bob K31416 (talk) 09:49, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- We disagree again. I didn't say the "comment" (or "threat", pace Dyrnych) was disruptive, I said, "Dyrnych's attempt to intimidate me is what is disruptive." Of the editorial process, not me. Leaving it solely on my talk page facilitates this behavior. Who knows how often he's done this? Andyvphil (talk) 10:02, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Dyrnych has a fairly limited understanding of WP content policies, but an unlimited willingness to issue threats and file for admin sanctions as a way of avoiding content disputes. In these situations, sometimes "consensus" is just a word he throws around as justification for violating content policies. In one recent dispute between us, he only agreed to allow policy-appropriate article prose after all attempts at getting me blocked had failed.
His favorite canard is to make false claims of consensus and then present WP:BRD as a rule which obligates other users to endure endless talk-page sophistry, and to defer to his questionable judgement wherever possible. Since he is the self-appointed guardian of "consensus", whatever he says is what stays — so the story goes.
Another apparent tactic is to manufacture scenarios where he can claim to have been insulted or otherwise treated inappropriately, thus allowing him to litter a talk page with endless irrelevant hand-wringing about the purported ill treatment.

- I have limited experience with this guy, but that sounds about right. Andyvphil (talk) 22:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, and thanks for vindicating my decision to repost this threat to to the articles talk page, to see if there was a pattern of such behavior. Andyvphil (talk) 02:45, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
No personal attacks
I can see you are not a newbie so I will not slap here a NPA template. But you need to stop making personal attacks as you did here and here. Take it easy, take a break if you need to cool off, and always comment on the edits and never on the editor. - Cwobeel (talk) 21:19, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
