I noticed a warning to this guy to avoid sock-trolls, even on his own talk page. Amazingly, seconds after I clarified a word spelling on an Andy contribution, Andy reverted my spellcheck, and some user named "Denniss" duplicated the revert when Andy was queried on spelling. Then Andy comes right back with another revert, but seems to have distemper to go with it. Just wanted you to know, as it looked as though Andy has been warned over his editing behavior before :) Have a great day! Barada wha? 01:33, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I happened to be reading Wikipedia:ARBEE#Log of article-level discretionary sanctions. Regarding the restriction on London Victory Celebrations of 1946 you had written, in October 2012, "Provisionally lifted to test the waters again, per proposal at AE.." Time has passed since 2012 and nothing bad has happened to the article. This made me wonder about the current status of the ban. Some people put strikeouts through obsolete bans, for clarity. I went ahead and put a strikeout through the restriction. Please revert if you disagree. The indefinite semiprotection remains in place. I'll also ping @ Sandstein in case he wants to comment.

Hello Future Perfect, it has been a long time, I know we weren't on good terms with each other last year and I wish to change that. Last year I made an article titled List of Species Rumored/Believed to still be alive and you deleted it. I wish to revive it under a different name with your permission. I swear I will gather and cite reliable sources for this article I.E. books and not dubious websites.

Hello dear fellow Wiki-User FutPerf! Thank you for your contributive edits on Alexander's page, which are balanced, realistic and well-reasoned. I however reverted the changes that include the term "Northern Ancient Greece" to describe the kingdom's location, as it is not a very valid term, although plausible. I made a comment where I am explaining the reasons behind my concerns for the use of this term and why it isn't fitting well in this case, at the Talk:Alexander_the_Great page.

Hi, Future Perfect! Sorry for bothering, but there is a problem which maybe you can help to resolve. There is an user (ElectPartei) who change election results on articles about Serbian elections with his wrong, unsourced data. First he did it on Serbian parliamentary election, 2014, and now he's doing that on some other articles - look at his contributions [1]. I definitely don't want to see this escalating into an edit war, so I hope you'll be able to help to put an end to this. Cheers! -- Sundostund ( talk) 20:43, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi. As you may have seen, there has been a request for Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Piotrus 3/Statement by 153.19.58.76 ( | project page | history | links | watch | logs) to be undeleted. There have also been comments at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Piotrus 3 edit warring (e.g. by Tóraí) proposing other reasons for the IP post. Considering also that the posted version is currently available in the talk page history, it's not clear (to me, and presumably others) that there's much to be gained by keeping the page deleted, although your reasons for deletion at the time are understandable. Therefore, have you considered undeleting it yourself, and if not do you think giving such consideration could be worthy? Thanks. PS I only turned up to have a nose around and a vote, but that'll now have to wait until I've more time! -- Trevj ( talk · contribs) 22:28, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
I would consider allowing its restoration only if the author were to plausibly identify himself...Sounds a bit like: Tell us who you're a sock of, otherwise we'll assume you're a sock! :-)
I've asked you here (permalink) to explain how your actions in protecting Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Piotrus 3 after being a party to the edit war does not constitute using your admin tool while involved. Your statement here (permalink) that you had decided on a preferred version and reverted to that version before protecting actually seems to exactly describe WP:INVOLVED.
So, I'd appreciate an explanation of how your actions were not a breach of WP:INVOLVED or an acknowledgement that they were. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk · contribs · email) 02:34, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Fut. Perf., first, thank you for this image! I recently translated it into Croatian. Second, another user and I have been updating Greek language templates on Croatian Wikipedia and I ran across this conversation. I agree with your reasoning there -- although I think there's merit to including heta under archaic Greek letters, as in {{ Greek language}} and {{ Greek alphabet}}, as it was an actual (variant of a) letter used by Greeks -- so I've cleaned up Croatian templates & articles of sources that treated stigma & sho as "other Greek letters" or whatever the weird formulation was. However, I've glanced at other Wikipedias and the two letters seem to be used in articles & templates on the Greek alphabet as though they're standard.

Future, does Georgia fall under WP:ARBEE? There's currently a situation centred around Tquarchal district, but spread across a number of articles (and commons incidentally but out of scope here), where apparently only the Georgian name "Tkvarcheli" is "correct", which I suppose means the Abkhaz "Tquarchal" is wrong somehow.

I see you deleted File:Oscar Pistorius arrives at court first day of his trial.jpg on grounds " F7: Violates non-free use policy: commercial agency picture".
There are actually two pages sourced there and they appear to directly contradict each other. Non-free use policy says nothing about "commercial agency picture" but does say at WP:NFCI 8b that "Iconic and historical images which are not subject of commentary themselves but significantly aid in illustrating historical events may be used if they meet all aspects of the non-free content criteria, particularly no free alternatives, respect for commercial opportunity, and contextual significance" ,and moreover that "subject of commentary" was accepted by the community as not sine qua non was confirmed by you yourself on 27 August 2011 here. On the other hand F7 says "Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g., Associated Press, Getty), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria; and may be deleted immediately" ?
Can I ask you to clarify which is correct please? Thank you. Coat of Many Colours ( talk) 17:32, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Future Perfect at Sunrise, I recently requested the protection level of this template (in Wikipedia project space) to be lowered to the
Template editor protection level, which was declined by
HJ Mitchell saying that I should make my request to you directly. He also said something about the request being high profile, which I don't understand as both requests were simple requests for links. Hopefully, he will be able to clarify what they meant by that. Both of the edit requests on the talk page (of which one of them was mine), have now been answered, but I would like to be able to tweak the wording a little. I think that Template editor is an appropriate protection level for this template. Thanks! — {{U|

Hey Future Perfect, thanks for posting on my wall your concerns about the file I uploaded. As far as I know (I looked around), there's no free image of the building available, so I grabbed one from the athletics web site and uploaded as non-free use. The photos of the basketball floor on the page I had the file page link to are out of date (the university changed its name, and the floor is different now), so I went with a front-of-the-building shot. Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! GRUcrule ( talk) 20:42, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Future I don't wish to edit war and would like some administrative help. I recently reverted the page Sakis Rouvas to my previous version which was fully sourced (pertaining to the lead) and completely summarized the artist, albeit may have needed some trimming and tweaking as the version by a new user had a lot of grammatical errors, wrong formatting, seemed to be adapted from foreign language conventions not from fluent english, and also strangely omitted sourced content, even non-contentious events. What's more is that the overall neutrality of the article did not change, it was just written more poorly. More importantly a lot of the writing in the article was manipulated in translation to convey a different message than what's in the sources. The user:Kww keeps doing full reverts, which also removed a lot of non-contentious edits I had made, ie formatting, updates. I tried to speak with him but he wasn't very cooperative, just calling it "absolutely terrible" and insulting my writing. I don't believe he has even read the article or sources as, also I gave many examples of featured articles that contain similar content he was complaining about, although it doesn't seem like he has any knowledge of the topic anyway. Now I see he has reverted again, and to make things worse, he has completely cut the lead, not just critical reception and superlatives, but actual events, history, genre and artistic descriptions, sourced awards and titles. It is completely unrepresentative of the artist now. He's literally omitted the last 15 years of the artist's career! and neutral information and only left a negative about the military controversy, now giving it extremely undue weight. Also there is inaccurate information about 2 albums regaining commercial success, when the rise was critical. I don't see how someone can make such edits without any background knowledge, this current version isn't even supported by the sources, it was very careless. I told him to tweak the phrasing he didn't like (as the previous lead was fully sourced) or tell me so I could do it but he just keeps making destructive edits.

I apologize if this is the incorrect place to report this. If not, could you please forward this to the appropriate place. I will also add this to User talk:Alex Bakharev and User talk:Lvivske.
Regarding these sanctions:
"Lvivske (talk · contribs)) . . . placed under an indefinite revert limitation on all Ukraine-related edits: not more than 1 revert per 48 hours per article, with the extra slowdown condition that before they make any content revert (obvious vandalism excepted as usual), they are required to first open a discussion on talk, provide an explanation of their intended revert and then wait 6 hours before actually making it to allow time for discussion. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:30, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
User:Lvivske breached the bolded part with this revert on Svoboda without any discussion. The edit summary made reference to a recent effort to reduce the criticism section ( see talk page) which had already been closed and integrated into the article and where, at any rate, I specifically asked that "No significant content should be removed from the article entirely without due discussion." I will note that during the effort to close the criticism section User:Lvivske made disruptive edits without any discussion here and here that greatly increased the criticism section despite my requests for "collaboration and discussion" on the article talk page and at User talk:Lvivske#Restructuring Svoboda article. Stephen J Sharpe ( talk) 21:36, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Also these two reverts here and here despite there being an ongoing conversation on the talk page. Also violates 1RR restriction. There's plenty more evidence from Lvivske's contribtution page that you can go through at your leisure. Clearly, Lvivske feels like he can ignore his sanctions without consequence. Stephen J Sharpe ( talk) 23:28, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
It should be noted that Lvivske was warned on March 5 that the restrictions still apply here. Also I'm not "headhunting" - we've edited 3 or 4 of the same articles, all related to recent events in Ukraine, because we have similar interests. Stephen J Sharpe ( talk) 22:59, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I've declined the speedy replaceable non-free because the uploader makes an argument that, in my opinion, minimally warrants discussion.

Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. RGloucester — ☎ 23:07, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Fut.Perf., the new discretionary sanctions procedures require that when issuing sanctions you inform the sanctioned user of the appeals process I've done this for ArmijaDonetsk. In the future I suggest you use Template:AE sanction which is designed to meet the requirements of WP:AC/DS and give the sanctioned user enough information about what being sanctioned actually means.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines ( talk) 16:51, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Future Perfect, a moment of your time please. You said we shouldn't run this on the front page. It is claimed that, since you added your opinion, the article is seriously improved.

DS blanked without edit commentary my talkpage comment which drew attention to section blanking in the article by DS. (He accused me then that I was a sockpuppet of the editor with whom he was edit-warring in that article, instead of discussing with me on the talkpage, and opened a SPI. There seems to be a history of edit warring (including DS) and alleged sockpuppetry in the article, but he cannot accuse everyone of being part of it.).

In response to this AE request you are hereby warned that further misconduct such as edit warring (as you did Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War) may result in sanctions which may include revert restrictions or bans from editing pages or specific topics under the discretionary sanctions authorised in the India-Pakistan case. Given that there were comments regarding the expectations of administrators you are also reminded that, per the administrator policy, administrators are expected to "lead by example" and "follow Wikipedia policies". This warning will be logged in the enforcement log of the India-Pakistan case and may be referred in the future if misconduct is reported. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 13:34, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
You have reverted my text changes on the Varieties of Modern Greek with a note "Katharevousa was a conscious *return* to older forms, not just a *preservation* of such forms. And your use of "ethical dative" is completely wrong.".
Clearly most forms of the dative in mainstream Greek dialects are substituted by the accusative. Only in the single example of the use of σου vs σε, as in the specific example given in the article, is there a differentiation between regional dialects. If there is any dispute on this point, perhaps there should be a clarification. I may be wrong calling it ethical dative, please correct me with a more accurate term, but it is certainly only in this form (μου φαίνεται, etc) that the dative has been replaced by the genitive. In all other cases from the list on the dative there is replacement by the accusative.
Perhaps you can propose a better definition of Kathareuousa than it being a conservative form. It is certainly not archaic or archaizing. I did not call it preservation, just conservative. Perhaps you can explain what you mean with a conscious return to older forms - perhaps that would clarify the issue. There was no other standard written form at that time. Anything close to a contemporary standard (Ερμἠς ο Λὀγιος, οι συγγραφείς του ελληνικοὐ διαφωτισμού, Church/related literature and other technical writing, e.g. school textbooks) prior to Independence used a similar conservative style.
I had no responses to the contrary in the talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skamnelis ( talk • contribs)

Greetings. I noticed you just blocked an IP and an SPA for trolling Darkness Shines' talk page. this user just popped up today, and appears to be a sock of the same master; they are engaging in vandalism, and making PAs against Darkness Shines here. This also indicates that they are a sock. I decided to come here instead of AIV, because you've encountered this character before, and because it is more than simply a single vandalism only account; it's a string of accounts, masking their trolling with a handful of legitimate edits.

Re this, {{ only-two-dabs}} is called for by WP:TWODABS and is not a direct call for deletion. The title was originally for the people, changed to "FOO people" by Kwami, with Sawi and similar titles rendered Sawi people, then when that was nominated for what should be a non-controversial move as mandated by TITLE and more, and validated by a good 80 RMs on the same issue - redirect to original title/primary topic, because of his removal of that template it was deemed "controversial" so because it's a TWODAB and doesn't need to exist as such, when a hatnote will suffice and is called for by guidelines; Kwami then converted it into a two-dab page as he did with many others, which I note you also removed the what-should-be-innocuous {{ only-two-dabs}} template from also. As for filing RMs on all of these, the last time I tried bulk RMs they were shot down for procedural reasons, and I was told to file individual RMs on them; all of which Kwami opposed, 90% plus of which were moved as nominated. But those RMs I have since been castigated for as a "frenzy" of moves and even had it claimed they were undiscussed moves, rather than being RMs.
What's controversial to ME is the way people don't recognize what guidelines and policy say and are weak-kneed about "controversy" because one editor, who performed thousands of such moves without any discussion, is now determined to stop any such reversions of his non-policy moves by any means necessary. Including edit-warring over templates which are called for by guidelines.
"IF you want to change these, take it to RM" is really quite ironic statement, considering none of Kwami's moves were challenged at the time; those that have been - the vast majority of them, starting with Talk:St'at'imc#Requested move last year, and 80+ since, have been closed/moved despite his opposition.
I hear "all these requested moves are taking up the community's time" and I was told to use technical requests to move basic things like redirect-to-old title/primary topic.....a lot of those went through until Kwami started edit-warring over the presence of the db-move template, even as he's edit-warred over these TWODABS.
What a waste of time to tell me to take these to RMs when standing procedures and policies already exist, and when RMs were never used to move them in the first place. Skookum1 ( talk) 07:26, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear User as you know Director and myself experience often difficulties in communication. For this reason I have filed a RfC/U to discuss about this problem. I must confess that I genuinely believe he deals with me with improper language (inaccaptable, regardeless of the difficulties of communication we experienced). I did not file an AN/I because I would like to have a large discussion about this issue. And perhaps I am the guilty one (and I would accept the consequences of this RfC.

Nothing personal, but for my own sanity, yes, I would like to be blocked. I do believe that a clique of ethnocentric, anti-Semitic POV pushers is routinely gaming the admin process. There are editors who can deal somewhat effectively with this but I am not one of them. Honestly, I have little motivation to improve articles on sound recording so long as chauvinism and bigotry are steadily rotting Wikipedia out from the inside, with very few setbacks. I wish I'd never been made aware of this.
As for the "derailing" it would be helpful if admins stepped in sooner and requested that contributions be hatted or moved to the talk page. I would ask that they be mindful that "derailing" is a favorite, highly successful tactic of seasoned POV squads, but my faith in Wikipedia isn't such that I believe voicing this complaint would be in any way productive. More optimistic editors might have greater success. For real, right now my feelings are "let it burn."-- Atlantictire ( talk) 00:56, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

I noticed you just blocked 2607:fcd0:100:2300::16b:a1a4 for vandalism, but just curious, why didn't you delete User talk:Sungam, the vandalism talk page they created? Qxukhgiels ( talk) 15:52, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
I wasn't very impressed by your summary "final warning" to block me re he-who-shall-remain-nameless, but since you probably don't have my talkpage watchlisted, just wanted to draw your attention to examples of the continuing and long-standing behaviour I have been dealing with from the other party, both of which I have removed from my talkpage as harassment/crap here and here; the latter you may have seen as it was added right after your threat to block me because, well, it can't be helped that 95% of the titles that have been consensus/RMd back to where they belong had been moved by him, despite his fierce opposition and habit of making snotty and patronizing comments aplenty, such as "no-one would criticize you for discussing this rationally", which was copy-pasted across a good twenty or more RMs; my responses to him were fielded in Uysvdi's noxious ANI against me without any mention at all of the insults and provocations which had brought them on; one-sided, narrow-minded freaking-out and application of "behavioural guidelines" when actual content guidelines are ignored, or equivocated away as with BHG's illogical close at Swinomish and elsewhere (at variance with dozens of identical RM nominations closed/moved by Xoloz, BDD and Cuchullain; in this case a simple redirect from the original title to the arbitarily/undiscussed-move one which has no reason to exist other than @#$%#$#$% bureaucratic inertia and also anti-Skookum1 sentiment on the part of that closer).
That "he" seems to have a hall pass to say and do anything he wants and I get reamed by kangaroo courts and threatened with blocks by admins who don't know the background and seem blind to his excesses is a friggin' joke. My thoughts on the whipping on behavioural guidelines vs the unwillingness to act on real guidelines pertaining to content and title are here; I did not name him, though perhaps that's enough for you to use your arbitrary/discretionary power to punish me for speaking the truth about the situation and his long roster of anti-guideline anti-policy activities.
I've been avoiding Wikipedia since your block-threat, and living in the real world, though keep an eye on my watchlist; today's exchange resulted from what would have been an edit-war at Twana, which originally had redirected to Skokomish people but he presumed to move it to the language article, on the premise that there was no ethno article at Twana; the reason for that is that nearly all of the nine Twana groups are now part of the Skokomish Tribal Nation; rather than engage him in the edit-war activity he is so fond of, I change the redirect into the basis of the ethno article it should always have been, if separate at all from Skokomish (another title that should have remained there instead of being moved without any discussion to Skokomish people).
I have numerous important and needed articles to create; Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1862, Skeena War, Cassiar Gold Rush and more including several other ethno articles; and in writing them I don't like having to use piped dabs for common usages, or archaic and/or derisive exonyms applied by him as undiscussed moves; all the result of undiscussed moves and/or the entrenchment of same by the negative closes of RMs by BHG and another editor; see the section after the Chipewyan RM as to what other Canadians think of such bad closes by someone who doesn't know the material and who misquotes/misuses guidelines); whatever, if my standing up to him winds up in me being blocked while he walks scot-free despite snipes and insults then it will just underscore my increasing scorn for the narrow minds and perempetory ways of the adminship, and I am not alone in that sentiment to say the least.
For me to be condemned for my "attitude" by the Nurse Ratchets of Wikipedia is a tiresome bore...as is having "him" show up on my talkpage being rude and insulting and nobody does f-all about it....for about three years now, in fact....... in-group/out-group b.s. IMO and I'm sick of it. I could come up with a few hundred diffs of his that are all ANI/AE material but geezus how much time of my life have I already put in here to deal with b.s. thrown at me for trying to apply guidelines and policies.... I'm tired of feeding the beast (meaning the maw of the ever-hungry adminship) and dealing with childish bullshit and schoolmarmish punishing of the person being bullied (me) by someone who seems to be "teacher's pet".

Then to be blocked in the middle of a Canadian election while trying to AfD obvious political campaign ads masquerading as wiki articles by a teenager in Scotland with no political acumen or knowledge of Canadian affairs was the cause of a long boycott on my part after that block was lifted; it was during my absence that the sea of undiscussed moves which he did and included the first five RMs I challenged him at ( St'at'imc and four others) and were the root cause of the necessary hundreds of others, only a few of which were stymied by ignorant, guideline-misquoting closers who didn't even try to confirm claims by "oppose" votes and ignored votes and view stats and googles; and for all of which I've been insulted, degraded, and attacked and baited; he was accused of BAITing me in last year's RMs, and I see that he's up to his usual b.s. at the Gaelic languages thing; yet people give him credit where credit is not due; and respect where he shows none. Wikiquette sucks when it encourages such obstreperous behaviour but is used to punish those who point it out....and TLDR is used an excuse for "I don't want to have to think but still want to have my say", including by closers who indulge in personal snipes in their closes...all against the very guidelines that are misquoted to rule against me or even block me summarily. Kwami is one of many sideshows of the mounting irrelevance to reality of where Wikipedia is heading, and why so many people have left; if not for certain key history/geography articles still in need of contributive writing and the vast ocean of unedited bad-English articles in non-US, non-Canada, non-UK, non-anglosphere country-articles; Wikipedia needs intelligent, informed editors; tolerating fools and jerks while hectoring sane contributors beleaguered by fools and jerks is..... an exercise in anything but "community" building. Why anyone would change thousands of articles with pointless, often inaccurate or unsuitable dabs, then fiercely war to prevent their reversion to their original state while complaining that "thousands of articles are at risk" (in his CANVASS on WP:Languages about NCL) when they were of his own devising..... I don't know; I can 't discern his motives; it may just be that he craves attention and likes f******g with people; an energy vampire we call people like that where I'm from. I see little point in going to ANI when I've been the whipping boy there too often for no good reason other than insecurities and a prissy sense of wikiquette that only I get dressed down for, and those ANIs are full of NPA and AGF comments and attitudes not worth further comment. On my userpage one of my maxims goes "a consensus of fools is only foolishness" and that's where I see Wikipedia going; my watchlist I see all kinds of tiny tweaks to articles but nothing really useful; and CfD and RM discussions are full of the same increasingly small pack of small minds more obsessed with "behavioural guidelines" than with the validity of integrity of titles and content and the policies which are supposed to guide them..... Might I point out that by involving you in some conflict with him it's a way of preventing you from taking action against you; manipulation of the system and the known mores of the adminship; word-games and posturing. Do you know the story of Against Timarchos? That speech was launched by Lysias to prevent Timarchos from launching a prosecution against him; former prostitutes could not speak at the Assembly, y'see. Defamation, misrepresentation, character assassination and the like are all old legal techniques; manipulation of victim and witnesses and the judges all part of the game. But writing an encyclopedia should not be a "game"........nor should people who "game" other editors be given the credit they don't deserve. People presuming to authority should start acting like they deserve it, and not use it wantonly which I've seen way too much of; there re no rules, but you'd never know that by the mounting instruction creep in Wikipedia and the fervence seen in the behaviour of those using them in an ironclad fashion but who don't really have a grasp on teh subject matter, and quite often, will claim that knowledge of a subject is irrelevant to decision-making on Wiki guidelines...even though said guidelines are apparently not even read fully by the same people saying that....ignorance has become its own excuse.

I tagged the previous image with the inappropriate title for deletion. Currently the two articles using the image are Lely Juno family and Technology in Star Wars.

Hello, Future Perfect! I was looking at your User page and user boxes and came across the word "Faliscan" which I had never seen before, so I clicked on the link and read the article. I found it very interesting. I made a few minor copy-edits (mostly adding a few commas), and added some indentation to make the f/h "a." and "b." list look a little better, but I had a few questions I thought you might be able to answer. One is that in the section on f/h changes, there are a few Faliscan words to which no English equivalent is given, one in the prose text: hec and the others in the "a." list (hileo, hirmia, etc.). I wondered if you could add those. Also, I found a few things that were unclear, so I added "clarification needed" tags with a note to editors. Maybe you could clarify those things, too, and then delete the tags and questions. (I hope it was all right that I posed my questions there rather than on the Talk page.) I thought it was interesting that Faliscan habas is the same as one of the Spanish words for beans (the other being frijoles). I have a question: in the second paragraph in "Corpus", it gives a Faliscan sentence: foied vino pipafo, cra carefo and the Latin equivalent. I wondered if pipafo, meaning "drink", is related to the English word "pipette", a slender tube used in laboratories for taking up liquids. If it is, how did that word get into English?

I've woefully neglected Talk:Siduri and Epic of Gilgamesh, but looking at it now I'm concerned with what I see as a continued effort to promote this website. Talk:Siduri was not just being used for bad translations, it was being used to promote some sort of metaprojects (with our wikiproject links being removed). I've reverted back to the earlier version - that stuff was completely OT and OTT, unless you see some merit I missed. [17] The new 'collaborative image' is also publicising this website. The image has credits to the website embedded in it and the text also credits it. Side issue, if that is a translation of the entire text, isn't it copyvio?
I've restored the machine translations and change the image at Epic of Gilgamesh to one not promoting this website. The website is still being used to state there is a campaign to display the tablet - surely we should have independent sources mentioning this? Dougweller ( talk) 09:37, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Future, if your MfD is successful against my user subpage, then the clarification I was needing re use of IBAN to censor content (edit) commentary really becomes almost moot or even theoretical. (The theory still being, there's nothing at WP:IBAN prohibiting commentary on content; only commentary or interaction on users. I for one cannot believe that pure commentary on content where no direct or indirect discussion between users occurs is rightly classified "interaction between users". That just makes no sense to me.)
And although I admire your creativity to MfD to render my concerns at the ANs almost theoretical/moot, I honestly think you've forced a square peg in a round hole with the policy you quoted from WP:USERPAGE. And I really do think the list of what is allowed on user pages was a better fit. (But neither were a good fit; WP:USERPAGE just seems to not have thought of it.)
I had no intention or wish for drama at the ANs, I want you to know that. And I made probably a once-in-a-wikilife opening of an AN thread (against my personal policy; I think those forums are disgraceful and embarrassment for en.WP).
If my subpage still stands, then in my view no clarification consensus has been given by admins. (Sjakkalle's doesn't count; his view promted me to open the AN in the first place.)
Here is a Q not asked at the AN, I'm curious about it: when Drmies advised my fellow IBANer to discontinue discussion in a Talk:Chess thread where I contributed first, said IBANer protested vigorously that his/her dicussion comments were not prohibited by WP:IBAN. (And I believe that view is right. Not only that, but any view whereby WP:IBAN squelches content commentary becomes a virtual roving topic ban -- and that is not the spirit or letter of IBAN, even though IBAN seems imperfectly formed, and that is also not wholesome for article development in general, of course.)
I tried to be calm at the 2nd AN, in spite of the usual baiting.

Hello. Would you care checking this thread? This editor has been inserting false/inaccurate etymologies for the past few months: [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39], removing information [40] ("Because an opinion of someone R. S. P. Beekes has publiced we cannot change all the world-wrong place") [41] [42]. I have tried numerous times to copiously explain what is wrong with their edits but they just remove the messages from their talk page and continue their reckless editing. Some of their edits are legitimate, but they always need to be reviewed for violations of WP:INTEGRITY and WP:V. Despite their previous personal attacks [43] [44] [45] [46] [47], I did reply in good faith to their last comment on my talk-page User_talk:Omnipaedista/Archive_1#tetra-. That did not work either. The last incident was a pointy retaliation: they opened an WP:AN/ANI in order to "denounce" my activity. Of course, the edit diffs they provided prove nothing. This is getting quite time-consuming.

Hi there. Thanks for your interest in the page Nepal Bhasa. I have requested a move to Nepal Bhasa or Nepal Bhasha as per my previous sources and a corrected google ngram viewer this and this. Apparently, we were comparing the whole sum of things related to Newar civilization when we were comparing Newar to Nepal Bhasha. When changing Newar or Newari to Newar language or Newari language, the ngram hits were far lower than that of Nepal Bhasha, which is the official term used by language regulating bodies, academicians and media of Nepal.

I'm afraid you've stepped into a bit of a hornet's nest here; these folks have been engaging in this behavior for some time, and there have been issues of folks misrepresenting what other people have had to say. See North's previous instance of claiming that I believed that "what you're saying is that the harassment of Quinn was justified because she had a dispute with TFYC? That she was "asking for it" and deserved it?" which others called him on; his misrepresentation here is identical in tone and structure. Titanium Dragon ( talk) 21:33, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
FPaS, Noting reasons to be skeptical of death threats over the Internet and show caution in how we describe them in the article is not a BLP violation. Allowing that death threats can be faked for attention and therefore, absent confirmation of a threat's origins, we should be tentative in assigning blame, is actually good editing practice. There are other explanations as well, but the issue here is that the credibility of the threats is at issue per the police statements, no clear confirmation has been provided regarding the origins of the threats, and it is widely reported that some believe the threats are being made by opponents or trolls to discredit GamerGate. I have to say this topic ban was incredibly hasty and should have been open to wider discussion beforehand given the basis. You jumped to re-imposing the indefinite topic ban over this singular comment in less than 30 minutes before anyone else could say anything about it and then delete comments as though they were a violation when they were clearly being written up before your rapid restoration of the indefinite topic ban. Basically, you topic-banned him over a debatable issue without even giving him a chance to respond first and then act like he is violating it when he posts a response that was likely being written up soon after the discussion was opened.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 02:46, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
I'm wondering if you could spend a few minutes giving me some pointers on how to deal with a content dispute. I'm not necessarily looking for you to comment directly on the relevant Talk page (although you are certainly welcome if you want to), but rather to point me in the right direction on how to proceed. The basics:
That's where the article stands at this point. I declined to participate in edit warring, but now there are about seven editors who have disagreed with the original edit, either through the talk page or by editing the article itself, with only one very tenacious editor reverting any attempts to change. I have tried discussing it with that editor on talk, but reached an impasse very quickly. The editor won't cite sources, or when he or she does inspection shows that the source does not support the claim.
I tried asking for additional eyeballs on the parent project pages' Talk pages, but have gotten little response. Maybe I'm all wet here, but it seems that we have material in the lede of an article that directly contradicts the sources. What's the best way to address this? RFC? third opinion? DRN? Some other notice board? BTW, I haven't asked anywhere else, you are the first stop.

I noticed a warning to this guy to avoid sock-trolls, even on his own talk page. Amazingly, seconds after I clarified a word spelling on an Andy contribution, Andy reverted my spellcheck, and some user named "Denniss" duplicated the revert when Andy was queried on spelling. Then Andy comes right back with another revert, but seems to have distemper to go with it. Just wanted you to know, as it looked as though Andy has been warned over his editing behavior before :) Have a great day! Barada wha? 01:33, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I happened to be reading Wikipedia:ARBEE#Log of article-level discretionary sanctions. Regarding the restriction on London Victory Celebrations of 1946 you had written, in October 2012, "Provisionally lifted to test the waters again, per proposal at AE.." Time has passed since 2012 and nothing bad has happened to the article. This made me wonder about the current status of the ban. Some people put strikeouts through obsolete bans, for clarity. I went ahead and put a strikeout through the restriction. Please revert if you disagree. The indefinite semiprotection remains in place. I'll also ping @ Sandstein in case he wants to comment.

Hi, Future Perfect! Sorry for bothering, but there is a problem which maybe you can help to resolve. There is an user (ElectPartei) who change election results on articles about Serbian elections with his wrong, unsourced data. First he did it on Serbian parliamentary election, 2014, and now he's doing that on some other articles - look at his contributions [1].

Hi. As you may have seen, there has been a request for Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Piotrus 3/Statement by 153.19.58.76 ( | project page | history | links | watch | logs) to be undeleted. There have also been comments at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Piotrus 3 edit warring (e.g. by Tóraí) proposing other reasons for the IP post. Considering also that the posted version is currently available in the talk page history, it's not clear (to me, and presumably others) that there's much to be gained by keeping the page deleted, although your reasons for deletion at the time are understandable. Therefore, have you considered undeleting it yourself, and if not do you think giving such consideration could be worthy? Thanks.

I've asked you here (permalink) to explain how your actions in protecting Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Piotrus 3 after being a party to the edit war does not constitute using your admin tool while involved. Your statement here (permalink) that you had decided on a preferred version and reverted to that version before protecting actually seems to exactly describe WP:INVOLVED.

Fut. Perf., first, thank you for this image! I recently translated it into Croatian. Second, another user and I have been updating Greek language templates on Croatian Wikipedia and I ran across this conversation. I agree with your reasoning there -- although I think there's merit to including heta under archaic Greek letters, as in {{ Greek language}} and {{ Greek alphabet}}, as it was an actual (variant of a) letter used by Greeks -- so I've cleaned up Croatian templates & articles of sources that treated stigma & sho as "other Greek letters" or whatever the weird formulation was. However, I've glanced at other Wikipedias and the two letters seem to be used in articles & templates on the Greek alphabet as though they're standard.

I see you deleted File:Oscar Pistorius arrives at court first day of his trial.jpg on grounds " F7: Violates non-free use policy: commercial agency picture".
There are actually two pages sourced there and they appear to directly contradict each other. Non-free use policy says nothing about "commercial agency picture" but does say at WP:NFCI 8b that "Iconic and historical images which are not subject of commentary themselves but significantly aid in illustrating historical events may be used if they meet all aspects of the non-free content criteria, particularly no free alternatives, respect for commercial opportunity, and contextual significance" ,and moreover that "subject of commentary" was accepted by the community as not sine qua non was confirmed by you yourself on 27 August 2011 here. On the other hand F7 says "Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g., Associated Press, Getty), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria; and may be deleted immediately" ?
Can I ask you to clarify which is correct please? Thank you. Coat of Many Colours ( talk) 17:32, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Future Perfect at Sunrise, I recently requested the protection level of this template (in Wikipedia project space) to be lowered to the
Template editor protection level, which was declined by
HJ Mitchell saying that I should make my request to you directly. He also said something about the request being high profile, which I don't understand as both requests were simple requests for links. Hopefully, he will be able to clarify what they meant by that. Both of the edit requests on the talk page (of which one of them was mine), have now been answered, but I would like to be able to tweak the wording a little. I think that Template editor is an appropriate protection level for this template. Thanks! — {{U|

Hey Future Perfect, thanks for posting on my wall your concerns about the file I uploaded.

The photos of the basketball floor on the page I had the file page link to are out of date (the university changed its name, and the floor is different now), so I went with a front-of-the-building shot.

Hello Future I don't wish to edit war and would like some administrative help. I recently reverted the page Sakis Rouvas to my previous version which was fully sourced (pertaining to the lead) and completely summarized the artist, albeit may have needed some trimming and tweaking as the version by a new user had a lot of grammatical errors, wrong formatting, seemed to be adapted from foreign language conventions not from fluent english, and also strangely omitted sourced content, even non-contentious events. What's more is that the overall neutrality of the article did not change, it was just written more poorly. More importantly a lot of the writing in the article was manipulated in translation to convey a different message than what's in the sources. The user:Kww keeps doing full reverts, which also removed a lot of non-contentious edits I had made, ie formatting, updates. I tried to speak with him but he wasn't very cooperative, just calling it "absolutely terrible" and insulting my writing. I don't believe he has even read the article or sources as, also I gave many examples of featured articles that contain similar content he was complaining about, although it doesn't seem like he has any knowledge of the topic anyway. Now I see he has reverted again, and to make things worse, he has completely cut the lead, not just critical reception and superlatives, but actual events, history, genre and artistic descriptions, sourced awards and titles. It is completely unrepresentative of the artist now. He's literally omitted the last 15 years of the artist's career! and neutral information and only left a negative about the military controversy, now giving it extremely undue weight. Also there is inaccurate information about 2 albums regaining commercial success, when the rise was critical. I don't see how someone can make such edits without any background knowledge, this current version isn't even supported by the sources, it was very careless. I told him to tweak the phrasing he didn't like (as the previous lead was fully sourced) or tell me so I could do it but he just keeps making destructive edits.

I apologize if this is the incorrect place to report this. If not, could you please forward this to the appropriate place. I will also add this to User talk:Alex Bakharev and User talk:Lvivske.
Regarding these sanctions:
"Lvivske (talk · contribs)) . . . placed under an indefinite revert limitation on all Ukraine-related edits: not more than 1 revert per 48 hours per article, with the extra slowdown condition that before they make any content revert (obvious vandalism excepted as usual), they are required to first open a discussion on talk, provide an explanation of their intended revert and then wait 6 hours before actually making it to allow time for discussion. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:30, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
User:Lvivske breached the bolded part with this revert on Svoboda without any discussion. The edit summary made reference to a recent effort to reduce the criticism section ( see talk page) which had already been closed and integrated into the article and where, at any rate, I specifically asked that "No significant content should be removed from the article entirely without due discussion." I will note that during the effort to close the criticism section User:Lvivske made disruptive edits without any discussion here and here that greatly increased the criticism section despite my requests for "collaboration and discussion" on the article talk page and at User talk:Lvivske#Restructuring Svoboda article. Stephen J Sharpe ( talk) 21:36, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Also these two reverts here and here despite there being an ongoing conversation on the talk page. Also violates 1RR restriction. There's plenty more evidence from Lvivske's contribtution page that you can go through at your leisure. Clearly, Lvivske feels like he can ignore his sanctions without consequence. Stephen J Sharpe ( talk) 23:28, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
It should be noted that Lvivske was warned on March 5 that the restrictions still apply here. Also I'm not "headhunting" - we've edited 3 or 4 of the same articles, all related to recent events in Ukraine, because we have similar interests. Stephen J Sharpe ( talk) 22:59, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. RGloucester — ☎ 23:07, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Fut.Perf., the new discretionary sanctions procedures require that when issuing sanctions you inform the sanctioned user of the appeals process I've done this for ArmijaDonetsk. In the future I suggest you use Template:AE sanction which is designed to meet the requirements of WP:AC/DS and give the sanctioned user enough information about what being sanctioned actually means.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines ( talk) 16:51, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Future Perfect, a moment of your time please. You said we shouldn't run this on the front page. It is claimed that, since you added your opinion, the article is seriously improved.

DS blanked without edit commentary my talkpage comment which drew attention to section blanking in the article by DS. (He accused me then that I was a sockpuppet of the editor with whom he was edit-warring in that article, instead of discussing with me on the talkpage, and opened a SPI. There seems to be a history of edit warring (including DS) and alleged sockpuppetry in the article, but he cannot accuse everyone of being part of it.).

In response to this AE request you are hereby warned that further misconduct such as edit warring (as you did Rape during the Bangladesh Liberation War) may result in sanctions which may include revert restrictions or bans from editing pages or specific topics under the discretionary sanctions authorised in the India-Pakistan case. Given that there were comments regarding the expectations of administrators you are also reminded that, per the administrator policy, administrators are expected to "lead by example" and "follow Wikipedia policies". This warning will be logged in the enforcement log of the India-Pakistan case and may be referred in the future if misconduct is reported. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 13:34, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
You have reverted my text changes on the Varieties of Modern Greek with a note "Katharevousa was a conscious *return* to older forms, not just a *preservation* of such forms. And your use of "ethical dative" is completely wrong.".
Clearly most forms of the dative in mainstream Greek dialects are substituted by the accusative. Only in the single example of the use of σου vs σε, as in the specific example given in the article, is there a differentiation between regional dialects. If there is any dispute on this point, perhaps there should be a clarification. I may be wrong calling it ethical dative, please correct me with a more accurate term, but it is certainly only in this form (μου φαίνεται, etc) that the dative has been replaced by the genitive. In all other cases from the list on the dative there is replacement by the accusative.
Perhaps you can propose a better definition of Kathareuousa than it being a conservative form. It is certainly not archaic or archaizing. I did not call it preservation, just conservative. Perhaps you can explain what you mean with a conscious return to older forms - perhaps that would clarify the issue. There was no other standard written form at that time. Anything close to a contemporary standard (Ερμἠς ο Λὀγιος, οι συγγραφείς του ελληνικοὐ διαφωτισμού, Church/related literature and other technical writing, e.g. school textbooks) prior to Independence used a similar conservative style.
I had no responses to the contrary in the talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skamnelis ( talk • contribs)

Greetings. I noticed you just blocked an IP and an SPA for trolling Darkness Shines' talk page. this user just popped up today, and appears to be a sock of the same master; they are engaging in vandalism, and making PAs against Darkness Shines here. This also indicates that they are a sock. I decided to come here instead of AIV, because you've encountered this character before, and because it is more than simply a single vandalism only account; it's a string of accounts, masking their trolling with a handful of legitimate edits. If you could block, I'd be grateful. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 17:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Re this, {{ only-two-dabs}} is called for by WP:TWODABS and is not a direct call for deletion. The title was originally for the people, changed to "FOO people" by Kwami, with Sawi and similar titles rendered Sawi people, then when that was nominated for what should be a non-controversial move as mandated by TITLE and more, and validated by a good 80 RMs on the same issue - redirect to original title/primary topic, because of his removal of that template it was deemed "controversial" so because it's a TWODAB and doesn't need to exist as such, when a hatnote will suffice and is called for by guidelines; Kwami then converted it into a two-dab page as he did with many others, which I note you also removed the what-should-be-innocuous {{ only-two-dabs}} template from also. As for filing RMs on all of these, the last time I tried bulk RMs they were shot down for procedural reasons, and I was told to file individual RMs on them; all of which Kwami opposed, 90% plus of which were moved as nominated. But those RMs I have since been castigated for as a "frenzy" of moves and even had it claimed they were undiscussed moves, rather than being RMs.
What's controversial to ME is the way people don't recognize what guidelines and policy say and are weak-kneed about "controversy" because one editor, who performed thousands of such moves without any discussion, is now determined to stop any such reversions of his non-policy moves by any means necessary. Including edit-warring over templates which are called for by guidelines.
"IF you want to change these, take it to RM" is really quite ironic statement, considering none of Kwami's moves were challenged at the time; those that have been - the vast majority of them, starting with Talk:St'at'imc#Requested move last year, and 80+ since, have been closed/moved despite his opposition.
I hear "all these requested moves are taking up the community's time" and I was told to use technical requests to move basic things like redirect-to-old title/primary topic.....a lot of those went through until Kwami started edit-warring over the presence of the db-move template, even as he's edit-warred over these TWODABS.
What a waste of time to tell me to take these to RMs when standing procedures and policies already exist, and when RMs were never used to move them in the first place. Skookum1 ( talk) 07:26, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

A friend from Poland mailed me that he did receive a mail from wikipedia stating that his account is blocked. Your user-ID is mentioned in this mail as the one who implemented a block on 31.61.128.0/19. The friend's account is inaccessible at the moment User:JurekP so he's unable to edit a page that he's working on, namely Jerzy Porębski.

Dear User as you know Director and myself experience often difficulties in communication. For this reason I have filed a RfC/U to discuss about this problem. I must confess that I genuinely believe he deals with me with improper language (inaccaptable, regardeless of the difficulties of communication we experienced). I did not file an AN/I because I would like to have a large discussion about this issue. And perhaps I am the guilty one (and I would accept the consequences of this RfC.

Nothing personal, but for my own sanity, yes, I would like to be blocked. I do believe that a clique of ethnocentric, anti-Semitic POV pushers is routinely gaming the admin process. There are editors who can deal somewhat effectively with this but I am not one of them. Honestly, I have little motivation to improve articles on sound recording so long as chauvinism and bigotry are steadily rotting Wikipedia out from the inside, with very few setbacks. I wish I'd never been made aware of this.
As for the "derailing" it would be helpful if admins stepped in sooner and requested that contributions be hatted or moved to the talk page. I would ask that they be mindful that "derailing" is a favorite, highly successful tactic of seasoned POV squads, but my faith in Wikipedia isn't such that I believe voicing this complaint would be in any way productive. More optimistic editors might have greater success. For real, right now my feelings are "let it burn."-- Atlantictire ( talk) 00:56, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

I noticed you just blocked 2607:fcd0:100:2300::16b:a1a4 for vandalism, but just curious, why didn't you delete User talk:Sungam, the vandalism talk page they created? Qxukhgiels ( talk) 15:52, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
I wasn't very impressed by your summary "final warning" to block me re he-who-shall-remain-nameless, but since you probably don't have my talkpage watchlisted, just wanted to draw your attention to examples of the continuing and long-standing behaviour I have been dealing with from the other party, both of which I have removed from my talkpage as harassment/crap here and here; the latter you may have seen as it was added right after your threat to block me because, well, it can't be helped that 95% of the titles that have been consensus/RMd back to where they belong had been moved by him, despite his fierce opposition and habit of making snotty and patronizing comments aplenty, such as "no-one would criticize you for discussing this rationally", which was copy-pasted across a good twenty or more RMs; my responses to him were fielded in Uysvdi's noxious ANI against me without any mention at all of the insults and provocations which had brought them on; one-sided, narrow-minded freaking-out and application of "behavioural guidelines" when actual content guidelines are ignored, or equivocated away as with BHG's illogical close at Swinomish and elsewhere (at variance with dozens of identical RM nominations closed/moved by Xoloz, BDD and Cuchullain; in this case a simple redirect from the original title to the arbitarily/undiscussed-move one which has no reason to exist other than @#$%#$#$% bureaucratic inertia and also anti-Skookum1 sentiment on the part of that closer).
That "he" seems to have a hall pass to say and do anything he wants and I get reamed by kangaroo courts and threatened with blocks by admins who don't know the background and seem blind to his excesses is a friggin' joke. My thoughts on the whipping on behavioural guidelines vs the unwillingness to act on real guidelines pertaining to content and title are here; I did not name him, though perhaps that's enough for you to use your arbitrary/discretionary power to punish me for speaking the truth about the situation and his long roster of anti-guideline anti-policy activities.
I've been avoiding Wikipedia since your block-threat, and living in the real world, though keep an eye on my watchlist; today's exchange resulted from what would have been an edit-war at Twana, which originally had redirected to Skokomish people but he presumed to move it to the language article, on the premise that there was no ethno article at Twana; the reason for that is that nearly all of the nine Twana groups are now part of the Skokomish Tribal Nation; rather than engage him in the edit-war activity he is so fond of, I change the redirect into the basis of the ethno article it should always have been, if separate at all from Skokomish (another title that should have remained there instead of being moved without any discussion to Skokomish people).
I have numerous important and needed articles to create; Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1862, Skeena War, Cassiar Gold Rush and more including several other ethno articles; and in writing them I don't like having to use piped dabs for common usages, or archaic and/or derisive exonyms applied by him as undiscussed moves; all the result of undiscussed moves and/or the entrenchment of same by the negative closes of RMs by BHG and another editor; see the section after the Chipewyan RM as to what other Canadians think of such bad closes by someone who doesn't know the material and who misquotes/misuses guidelines); whatever, if my standing up to him winds up in me being blocked while he walks scot-free despite snipes and insults then it will just underscore my increasing scorn for the narrow minds and perempetory ways of the adminship, and I am not alone in that sentiment to say the least.
For me to be condemned for my "attitude" by the Nurse Ratchets of Wikipedia is a tiresome bore...as is having "him" show up on my talkpage being rude and insulting and nobody does f-all about it....for about three years now, in fact....... in-group/out-group b.s. IMO and I'm sick of it. I could come up with a few hundred diffs of his that are all ANI/AE material but geezus how much time of my life have I already put in here to deal with b.s. thrown at me for trying to apply guidelines and policies.... I'm tired of feeding the beast (meaning the maw of the ever-hungry adminship) and dealing with childish bullshit and schoolmarmish punishing of the person being bullied (me) by someone who seems to be "teacher's pet".

Then to be blocked in the middle of a Canadian election while trying to AfD obvious political campaign ads masquerading as wiki articles by a teenager in Scotland with no political acumen or knowledge of Canadian affairs was the cause of a long boycott on my part after that block was lifted; it was during my absence that the sea of undiscussed moves which he did and included the first five RMs I challenged him at ( St'at'imc and four others) and were the root cause of the necessary hundreds of others, only a few of which were stymied by ignorant, guideline-misquoting closers who didn't even try to confirm claims by "oppose" votes and ignored votes and view stats and googles; and for all of which I've been insulted, degraded, and attacked and baited; he was accused of BAITing me in last year's RMs, and I see that he's up to his usual b.s. at the Gaelic languages thing; yet people give him credit where credit is not due; and respect where he shows none. Wikiquette sucks when it encourages such obstreperous behaviour but is used to punish those who point it out....and TLDR is used an excuse for "I don't want to have to think but still want to have my say", including by closers who indulge in personal snipes in their closes...all against the very guidelines that are misquoted to rule against me or even block me summarily. Kwami is one of many sideshows of the mounting irrelevance to reality of where Wikipedia is heading, and why so many people have left; if not for certain key history/geography articles still in need of contributive writing and the vast ocean of unedited bad-English articles in non-US, non-Canada, non-UK, non-anglosphere country-articles; Wikipedia needs intelligent, informed editors; tolerating fools and jerks while hectoring sane contributors beleaguered by fools and jerks is..... an exercise in anything but "community" building. Why anyone would change thousands of articles with pointless, often inaccurate or unsuitable dabs, then fiercely war to prevent their reversion to their original state while complaining that "thousands of articles are at risk" (in his CANVASS on WP:Languages about NCL) when they were of his own devising..... I don't know; I can 't discern his motives; it may just be that he craves attention and likes f******g with people; an energy vampire we call people like that where I'm from. I see little point in going to ANI when I've been the whipping boy there too often for no good reason other than insecurities and a prissy sense of wikiquette that only I get dressed down for, and those ANIs are full of NPA and AGF comments and attitudes not worth further comment. On my userpage one of my maxims goes "a consensus of fools is only foolishness" and that's where I see Wikipedia going; my watchlist I see all kinds of tiny tweaks to articles but nothing really useful; and CfD and RM discussions are full of the same increasingly small pack of small minds more obsessed with "behavioural guidelines" than with the validity of integrity of titles and content and the policies which are supposed to guide them..... Might I point out that by involving you in some conflict with him it's a way of preventing you from taking action against you; manipulation of the system and the known mores of the adminship; word-games and posturing. Do you know the story of Against Timarchos? That speech was launched by Lysias to prevent Timarchos from launching a prosecution against him; former prostitutes could not speak at the Assembly, y'see. Defamation, misrepresentation, character assassination and the like are all old legal techniques; manipulation of victim and witnesses and the judges all part of the game. But writing an encyclopedia should not be a "game"........nor should people who "game" other editors be given the credit they don't deserve. People presuming to authority should start acting like they deserve it, and not use it wantonly which I've seen way too much of; there re no rules, but you'd never know that by the mounting instruction creep in Wikipedia and the fervence seen in the behaviour of those using them in an ironclad fashion but who don't really have a grasp on teh subject matter, and quite often, will claim that knowledge of a subject is irrelevant to decision-making on Wiki guidelines...even though said guidelines are apparently not even read fully by the same people saying that....ignorance has become its own excuse.

What happened was, I uploaded the exact image but under an inappropriate title, so this Juno 100 image is essentially a duplicate. I tagged the previous image with the inappropriate title for deletion. Currently the two articles using the image are Lely Juno family and Technology in Star Wars.

Hello, Future Perfect! I was looking at your User page and user boxes and came across the word "Faliscan" which I had never seen before, so I clicked on the link and read the article. I found it very interesting. I made a few minor copy-edits (mostly adding a few commas), and added some indentation to make the f/h "a." and "b." list look a little better, but I had a few questions I thought you might be able to answer. One is that in the section on f/h changes, there are a few Faliscan words to which no English equivalent is given, one in the prose text: hec and the others in the "a." list (hileo, hirmia, etc.). I wondered if you could add those. Also, I found a few things that were unclear, so I added "clarification needed" tags with a note to editors. Maybe you could clarify those things, too, and then delete the tags and questions. (I hope it was all right that I posed my questions there rather than on the Talk page.) I thought it was interesting that Faliscan habas is the same as one of the Spanish words for beans (the other being frijoles). I have a question: in the second paragraph in "Corpus", it gives a Faliscan sentence: foied vino pipafo, cra carefo and the Latin equivalent. I wondered if pipafo, meaning "drink", is related to the English word "pipette", a slender tube used in laboratories for taking up liquids. If it is, how did that word get into English?

I've woefully neglected Talk:Siduri and Epic of Gilgamesh, but looking at it now I'm concerned with what I see as a continued effort to promote this website. Talk:Siduri was not just being used for bad translations, it was being used to promote some sort of metaprojects (with our wikiproject links being removed). I've reverted back to the earlier version - that stuff was completely OT and OTT, unless you see some merit I missed. [17] The new 'collaborative image' is also publicising this website. The image has credits to the website embedded in it and the text also credits it. Side issue, if that is a translation of the entire text, isn't it copyvio?
I've restored the machine translations and change the image at Epic of Gilgamesh to one not promoting this website. The website is still being used to state there is a campaign to display the tablet - surely we should have independent sources mentioning this? Dougweller ( talk) 09:37, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Future, if your MfD is successful against my user subpage, then the clarification I was needing re use of IBAN to censor content (edit) commentary really becomes almost moot or even theoretical. (The theory still being, there's nothing at WP:IBAN prohibiting commentary on content; only commentary or interaction on users. I for one cannot believe that pure commentary on content where no direct or indirect discussion between users occurs is rightly classified "interaction between users". That just makes no sense to me.)
And although I admire your creativity to MfD to render my concerns at the ANs almost theoretical/moot, I honestly think you've forced a square peg in a round hole with the policy you quoted from WP:USERPAGE. And I really do think the list of what is allowed on user pages was a better fit. (But neither were a good fit; WP:USERPAGE just seems to not have thought of it.)
I had no intention or wish for drama at the ANs, I want you to know that. And I made probably a once-in-a-wikilife opening of an AN thread (against my personal policy; I think those forums are disgraceful and embarrassment for en.WP).
If my subpage still stands, then in my view no clarification consensus has been given by admins. (Sjakkalle's doesn't count; his view promted me to open the AN in the first place.)
Here is a Q not asked at the AN, I'm curious about it: when Drmies advised my fellow IBANer to discontinue discussion in a Talk:Chess thread where I contributed first, said IBANer protested vigorously that his/her dicussion comments were not prohibited by WP:IBAN. (And I believe that view is right. Not only that, but any view whereby WP:IBAN squelches content commentary becomes a virtual roving topic ban -- and that is not the spirit or letter of IBAN, even though IBAN seems imperfectly formed, and that is also not wholesome for article development in general, of course.)
I tried to be calm at the 2nd AN, in spite of the usual baiting.

Hello. Would you care checking this thread? This editor has been inserting false/inaccurate etymologies for the past few months: [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39], removing information [40] ("Because an opinion of someone R. S. P. Beekes has publiced we cannot change all the world-wrong place") [41] [42]. I have tried numerous times to copiously explain what is wrong with their edits but they just remove the messages from their talk page and continue their reckless editing. Some of their edits are legitimate, but they always need to be reviewed for violations of WP:INTEGRITY and WP:V. Despite their previous personal attacks [43] [44] [45] [46] [47], I did reply in good faith to their last comment on my talk-page User_talk:Omnipaedista/Archive_1#tetra-. That did not work either. The last incident was a pointy retaliation: they opened an WP:AN/ANI in order to "denounce" my activity. Of course, the edit diffs they provided prove nothing. This is getting quite time-consuming.

Hi there. Thanks for your interest in the page Nepal Bhasa. I have requested a move to Nepal Bhasa or Nepal Bhasha as per my previous sources and a corrected google ngram viewer this and this. Apparently, we were comparing the whole sum of things related to Newar civilization when we were comparing Newar to Nepal Bhasha. When changing Newar or Newari to Newar language or Newari language, the ngram hits were far lower than that of Nepal Bhasha, which is the official term used by language regulating bodies, academicians and media of Nepal.

I'm afraid you've stepped into a bit of a hornet's nest here; these folks have been engaging in this behavior for some time, and there have been issues of folks misrepresenting what other people have had to say. See North's previous instance of claiming that I believed that "what you're saying is that the harassment of Quinn was justified because she had a dispute with TFYC? That she was "asking for it" and deserved it?" which others called him on; his misrepresentation here is identical in tone and structure. Titanium Dragon ( talk) 21:33, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
FPaS, Noting reasons to be skeptical of death threats over the Internet and show caution in how we describe them in the article is not a BLP violation. Allowing that death threats can be faked for attention and therefore, absent confirmation of a threat's origins, we should be tentative in assigning blame, is actually good editing practice. There are other explanations as well, but the issue here is that the credibility of the threats is at issue per the police statements, no clear confirmation has been provided regarding the origins of the threats, and it is widely reported that some believe the threats are being made by opponents or trolls to discredit GamerGate. I have to say this topic ban was incredibly hasty and should have been open to wider discussion beforehand given the basis. You jumped to re-imposing the indefinite topic ban over this singular comment in less than 30 minutes before anyone else could say anything about it and then delete comments as though they were a violation when they were clearly being written up before your rapid restoration of the indefinite topic ban. Basically, you topic-banned him over a debatable issue without even giving him a chance to respond first and then act like he is violating it when he posts a response that was likely being written up soon after the discussion was opened.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 02:46, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
I'm wondering if you could spend a few minutes giving me some pointers on how to deal with a content dispute. I'm not necessarily looking for you to comment directly on the relevant Talk page (although you are certainly welcome if you want to), but rather to point me in the right direction on how to proceed. The basics:
That's where the article stands at this point. I declined to participate in edit warring, but now there are about seven editors who have disagreed with the original edit, either through the talk page or by editing the article itself, with only one very tenacious editor reverting any attempts to change. I have tried discussing it with that editor on talk, but reached an impasse very quickly. The editor won't cite sources, or when he or she does inspection shows that the source does not support the claim.
I tried asking for additional eyeballs on the parent project pages' Talk pages, but have gotten little response. Maybe I'm all wet here, but it seems that we have material in the lede of an article that directly contradicts the sources. What's the best way to address this? RFC? third opinion? DRN? Some other notice board? BTW, I haven't asked anywhere else, you are the first stop.

We hope we can finally achieve consensus among all participating about which title best meets policy and guidelines, and is not too objectionable. -- В²C ☎ 17:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
You and Halfhat edited the page at the same time and you missed his comment.— Ryūlóng ( 琉竜) 10:31, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Or this will happen.— Ryūlóng ( 琉竜) 10:32, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Can you handle this?— Ryūlóng ( 琉竜) 05:10, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
One of the SPAs in question made his own copy of WP:AN#Nip Gamergate in the bud in his userspace, I stumbled across it while googling for "gamergate wikipedia" to see how the outside world was discussing our coverage. Since you closed it I figured I'd ask what you thought of this. I considered going to MfD, but would it be considered a copyvio (thus speedy-eligible), since the attribution history of all the editor's comments are lost, seeing how it was a cut n paste job?

Would be nice to notify me. Relevant discussion should go here. Can you also stop referring to me as a spa, it is unwarranted and completely false. Retartist ( talk) 02:04, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
I agree that Anastasiya Tolmachevy 2014 version 2.jpg could be deleted for the purpose illustrated with a template on the file, but believe Anastasiya Tolmachevy 2014.jpg should be kept and have given my reason at the file.
