Hi Ecemaml.
You are completely right. On the other hand, I think that we all can work together more easily (at least, I know we have to work together if we want to edit the Gib article) and I was giving it another try, because if we don't solve this issue now, sooner or later we will end up wasting lots of time. Also, I didn't want to keep editing the Gibraltar articles until the dispute was over (in order to avoid bad feelings): when this is over I want to make some edits in a few Gib articles... Anyway, you are right and I won't dedicate much more time.
Meanwhile, I am mostly working -offline- on sources for a completely different article: Karl Popper. It's a shame that this article does not even reach the Good category because of lack of citations (I understand why, because I'm having a pretty hard job going over all of the material, years after I last saw it...)
I really don't think that you will get blocked (I really think that it would be completely disproportionate) and, in the worst case, three months is nothing! (and, sadly, it's less and less every year...) Tell me anything that I can do to lend a hand. Un abrazo. -- Imalbornoz ( talk) 16:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC) PS: I sent you an e-mail regarding a totally off-wiki hobby, did you receive it?
That's a real shame as it seems we were on a roll! However, I find it's not worth stressing over anything at all.

In regards to your comments on your talk page in the Spanish Wikipedia, I do contribute a small bit to Wikipedias in other languages. I know some Spanish and French, so I make small contributions to those Wikipedias. By far I contribute the most to the English Wikipedia.
I do so especially on the Spanish Wikipedia because there need to be articles there on more subjects in regards to government and society. Because I do not know much Spanish I write small articles and, in many instances, have native speakers check my work. I intend for native speakers and people with high fluency to take my stubs and expand them.
On user talk pages I do speak English to people who indicate that they know English or accept English on their talk pages. The users did not tell me that I cannot speak English on user talk pages, and several Spanish language Wikipedians do respond in English on my user talk page or other user talk pages. When contributing to article talk pages I would have to post in Spanish.
When writing stubs or making small contributions I am happy writing in Spanish. When discussing articles, especially one on one, I prefer to speak English as I can articulate myself very well in that language. I will make do with Spanish or French in their respective Wikipedias if the users do not know English or if I am posting on article talk pages or Wikipedia discussion pages.
Users sometimes respond in English even on Wikipedia talk pages: es:Wikipedia:Café/Portal/Archivo/Miscelánea/2010/01#FBI_--_Bur.C3.B3_Federal_de_Investigaciones had a user respond totally in English to my query in Spanish (with an English "original" attached to clear any confusion) WhisperToMe ( talk) 22:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

This is a courtesy note to inform you that articles and discussions about Gibraltar or concerning the history, people, or political status of Gibraltar are subject to a discretionary sanctions remedy. Please see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gibraltar#Discretionary sanctions. You are being notified per the actions logged here. Any disruptive, uncivil, or generally problematic conduct may lead to discretionary sanctions imposed by an administrator. This warning is not an indication of any wrong doing on your part. It is simply a general notice to recent editors in the topic area. Thank you for understanding. Vassyana ( talk) 01:40, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
It's nice hearing from you again! I've taken a look at the article in your sandbox and its coverage is impressing... Thanks!
I understand perfectly the lack of motivation to enter those terribly disputed articles... (sometimes I feel like giving up altogether, I had never even thought of discussing about Gibraltar or any territorial dispute for more than 5 minutes before July 2009...) Well, as you see above, there seem to be some reasons for hope with the last Arbcom decision and AE enforcement... (and with the help of some admins and Richard Keatinge's invaluable neutral help!) (also, it is an intensive -to put it that way- method to practice my English, which is good).
Anyway, if you want to leave your opinion in the talkpage once in a while (like Narson or Pfainuk do), it will very warmly welcome!! (sometimes it feels a bit cold & lonely out there...) Cheers!! -- Imalbornoz ( talk) 12:33, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
I have provided a warning about discussion participation at Talk:Gibraltar#Discussion Warning. This is to ensure you have been explicitly notified. This note does not indicate any wrongdoing on your part. I am sending it to all talk page participants with the past 72 hours.
As a recent participant, I explicitly invite you to join in the discussion that I have started at Talk:Gibraltar#Refocus. Discussions on the talk page are going around in old circles.

Excuse me Ecemaml, how can you speak about neutrality when you and your spanish friends are promoting spanish anti-moroccan propaganda in western sahara & Morocco articles in spanish wikipedia, by protecting falacious informations and ignoring what people write in discussion pages, and sometimes blocking for many months those articles to avoid modifications ?

This is a courtesy note to inform you that articles and discussions about Gibraltar or concerning the history, people, or political status of Gibraltar are subject to a discretionary sanctions remedy. Please see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gibraltar#Discretionary sanctions. You are being notified per the actions logged here. Any disruptive, uncivil, or generally problematic conduct may lead to discretionary sanctions imposed by an administrator. This warning is not an indication of any wrong doing on your part. It is simply a general notice to recent editors in the topic area. Thank you for understanding. Vassyana ( talk) 01:40, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
It's nice hearing from you again! I've taken a look at the article in your sandbox and its coverage is impressing... Thanks!
I understand perfectly the lack of motivation to enter those terribly disputed articles... (sometimes I feel like giving up altogether, I had never even thought of discussing about Gibraltar or any territorial dispute for more than 5 minutes before July 2009...) Well, as you see above, there seem to be some reasons for hope with the last Arbcom decision and AE enforcement... (and with the help of some admins and Richard Keatinge's invaluable neutral help!) (also, it is an intensive -to put it that way- method to practice my English, which is good).
Anyway, if you want to leave your opinion in the talkpage once in a while (like Narson or Pfainuk do), it will very warmly welcome!! (sometimes it feels a bit cold & lonely out there...) Cheers!! -- Imalbornoz ( talk) 12:33, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
I have provided a warning about discussion participation at Talk:Gibraltar#Discussion Warning. This is to ensure you have been explicitly notified. This note does not indicate any wrongdoing on your part. I am sending it to all talk page participants with the past 72 hours.
As a recent participant, I explicitly invite you to join in the discussion that I have started at Talk:Gibraltar#Refocus. Discussions on the talk page are going around in old circles. I am trying to help break that pattern and get the discussion focused. I look forward to your contributions in helping improve the article. -- Vassyana ( talk) 21:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
I make a proposal for a process and conditions to move forward. You are invited to share your thoughts and participate in the discussion. Cheers! -- Vassyana ( talk) 19:55, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Ecemaml, I 'll come to the article discussion, I'm glad to discuss your proposals and ideas. Best regards -- Yusuf ibn Tashfin ( talk) 14:10, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
I've added an answer to your last commentary in western sahara discussion article, the source is not friend indeed but it's a publication of an european security centre, I've confused the 2 publications, I'm sorry for this mistake. Kind regards -- Yusuf ibn Tashfin ( talk) 20:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Excuse me Ecemaml, how can you speak about neutrality when you and your spanish friends are promoting spanish anti-moroccan propaganda in western sahara & Morocco articles in spanish wikipedia, by protecting falacious informations and ignoring what people write in discussion pages, and sometimes blocking for many months those articles to avoid modifications ? I think you're not a good example to follow in term of neutrality. Kind regards -- Yusuf ibn Tashfin ( talk) 15:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
