The Nero article often gets a bunch of religious people who want to change things up because they learned Nero persecuted Christians. Its a fairly regular task to protect it from religious folk and keep it based on secular Roman histories.
I know its only a semantic argument and its subtle. I don't know why this guy doesn't like the word "secular", but I don't want to refer to Roman historians in the opening as "non-Christian" as its not the tone of the article.
Anyway, sorry for all of this. Hoshidoshi 15:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Kafziel, my issue was indeed a minor one. Is it my fault that it got stone-walled? Also, I wasn't on the road to breaking 3RR and cannot be held accountable for the fact that Hoshi did. Also, EAlacey did agree with me so it's hardly me religious looney. In any case, Hoshi knows nothing about me and still writes things like that. No way to go.

I was actually hoping you could block Arash under the
The rule does not convey an entitlement to revert three times each day, nor does it endorse reverting as an editing technique; rather, the rule is an "electric fence".[1] Editors may still be blocked even if they have not made more than three edits in any given 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. This particularly applies to editors who persistently make three reverts each day, or three reverts on each of a group of pages, in an apparent effort to game the system.

I'm no stranger to TWV, however I don't always think it's best to "jump in feet first" without a little bit of background, or to avoid a 3RR block on symantics (if I'd taken the time on the 3RR report to show the content versus the reverts...). The talk page is cluttered and has 2 or 3 active issues going on, which makes it hard to discern consensus or disruptive behavior -- you can take me at my word in saying this has been ongoing for days. At any rate, discussion is moot at this point. Thanks for your tireless efforts etc etc. :-) / Blaxthos 18:20, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

This editor just vandalized five articles in the last day. I see that you blocked him/her once - I suggest that another block is appropriate. Simesa 18:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
I've added the following at [3].
Since you've been involved, I thought you might like to comment either here or there.
Hello - the following may be in the wrong place, but I'd like to float things past people anyway. I'm here as PalestineRemembered [4], and I edit exclusively on one topic (you guessed it). I have personal reasons for acting in this way, which I attempted to explain on my UserPage. However, even my attempts to explain seem to cause huge problems. The question I have for you all is - does my UserName really present a problem? Most people use some form of nickname for much the same reason as I'm doing. Mine is slightly different, I'm using it to share with you all something I wish to share (I trust that makes everyones life easier). I'm sure many other people are posting much as I do, but with less transparency. Is there something fundamentally wrong with a UserName such as mine? PalestineRemembered 09:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
My major problem with you was the initial threat of blocking everyone. Please understand, that from my perspective there was a) no edit war, b) no need to block anyone and c) certainly no need to edit protect the article. So when your first post was in effect, "I don't care what you think, get over it" coupled with your (IMO gleeful) re-telling of how you had previously blocked everyone at some edit dispute and I guess we should be lucky you didn't do the same here, it took me aback. That kind of action or attitude certainly was not necessary here. Just remember, the 3RR report was about a caption that could've been simply removed. The intro stuff was in the discussion phase, no one had editted it significantly for a few days. I've been here for three years, and have been in some very heated debates. But never have I been threatened with a block, and usually a consensus is reached. Looking at it now, you may have been joking about blocking everyone, but it comes across horribly, when a) I don't know you or your style, b) you have already done something that I consider to be way overboard and possibly borderline abusive (re: use of your sysop powers regarding locking the page). My mentions of being blocked was not about you, and actually being blocked, I was being sarcastic. I'm sure Blaxthos got it because we have a prior relationship, but since you don't know me, you took it a different way. See how these things can happen in cyberspace :). In any case, I've slept on it and although I still believe you were wrong, I'm not going to hold it against you in the future and am willing to get past it. However, I will not be going to Foxnews, and since apparantly Blaxthos is doing the same, I guess that debate is over. Ramsquire (throw me a line) 16:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
You can disagree all you like. The other editors who were reverting his changes had no more right to do so than he had to make them. He did not violate 3RR (and if we're going to talk about blocking someone based on the spirit of 3RR, then I could have blocked everyone involved - it wouldn't be my first time). Reach consensus (not just a bunch of people shouting louder than some other people, as I explained above) and then the article will be unprotected.
Okay, you win. I'll go ahead and revert all the changes I made... oh, wait, I didn't make any. I'll put the FAQ tag back... oh, wait, I never removed it. So I'll just unprotect the article and you can edit it... oh, wait, I already did that, too. Maybe if I unblock all your friends... oh, wait, I didn't block anyone. In that case, I'm at a loss as to precisely what the hell you want from me. Kafziel Talk 17:17, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Being right about an issue does not mean you're not being a dick yourself! Dicks can be right — but they're still dicks... If you've been labeled as a dick, especially if you have been told this by several people in a particular community, it might be wise to consider the possibility that it is true.

Hello. I wrote this article as a "work in progress" in order to have an entry for a company that owns and operates malls in the eastern US. I noticed that there are LOTS of real estate developers that have articles on Wikipedia and I thought it would be a good idea to write about this company's history, particularly because of their history as one of America's first shopping mall developers, starting back in the 1950's. Because of their contribution to US history, I thought they deserved an entry on Wikipedia. I did not intend to write it as a way to promote the company, as I have no connections to the company whatsoever.

Dear Kafziel;
I did not violate the "spirit" of the 3RR... Saying such sounds like a non-binding punishment for actions that do not deserve such. I was merely restoring the first line to state fact. If anything violates the 3RR, it is the hair-trigger reaction in false reporting and the constant reverts. Charles 19:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

You mentioned here that I can seek dispute resolution. This is all so frustrating as I'm trying to follow protocol, yet one rogue editor is being allowed to get away with anything and when I try to avoid 3RR, I'm still accused of it. Obviously I'm frustrated, and I acknowledge that, but I stepped back for a couple days and now I would like to know how to seek resolution. I've done an RfC, but no one has commented. What other options can do I have? And also, why is it that the user can, seemingly get away with what he wants to? Is there nothing that can be done? This user has changed the article name without a consensus and reverts anyone who tries to put it back or improve the article factually. On the talk page we are discussing and striving for factual truth, yet the user is at fault of ignoring that. I would appreciate any assistance you could offer as I want to do it right. What would you have done differently and how would you approach it. Thanks for your time! -- Maniwar ( talk) 21:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Since you've given me good advice before, I hope you won't mind if I ask for your opinion on another matter. In a Discussion page for an article, I've been going back and forth with an editor (over a content/wording) who has grown increasingly uncivil and aggressive. The way I have seen it up until now, I can
a) respond in kind and have the thing escalate into an edit war (not an option)
b) ignore the edits, hoping he will calm down and approach the matter more civilly without personal attacks (and run the risk of having a complaint filed for not interacting with my fellow editors)
c) leave the article in disgust (at least three other editors have done this, due to the editor's intransigence), or
d) remove the edits as disruptive personal attacks, asking the editor (both on his Talk Page and in the edit summary for the removal) to rephrase the edits in a more civil manner.
I know what I've done, but I thought I'd get your input, as I tend to agree with both your edgy commentary and sound reasoning.

20:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Yep, I tried asking him to participate in it. He refused each time. Arcayne (cast a spell) 23:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
As you can see from Viriditas' insertion into this conversation, the problems run fairly deep. I did ot expect him to come here and interrupt our conversation. If you wish to archive or simply blank the sections, please feel free. He doesn't seemn willing to admit that his behavior made the article environment less than optimum. Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
You compared me to someone who committed a double homicide. I wasn't laughing at the "joke," I was laughing at the uncivility of the comparison. Being a fool doesn't make one funny. Arcayne (cast a spell) 13:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but I didn't come here to discuss with this admin the edits in question; I came to discuss how to respond to your abrasive personality issues. In point of fact, it was your continued personal attacks in the Discussion page of the article - ie, discussing me and not the edits - which prompted my seeking advice elsewhere, as you pointedly ignored attempts to defuse the situation (Erik did come in and ask you to back off the uncivil behavior; you ignored him as well). My recent remarks on the Discussion page have been entirely civil; perhaps doing so only encouraged you to be more aggressive. I am not sure. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Please stop being evasive and answer the question, Viriditas. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry, but that was noit the question asked. I would like you to simply answer yes or no: are you suggesting that your posts were civil and not personal attacks? Edit warring can simply refer to reverting each other's edits. Your behavior is what we are addressing here - the topic of edit-warring was already concluded. Please answer the question as asked, Viriditas. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I am arguing facts; you are simply choosing to avoid answering a question about behavior that spans multiple edits. You may answer the question, admitting or denying your personal attacks. Please understand that this coinversation will go no further without you answering the question as put. Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Arcayne, I think it is important that we speak the same language and use the same terms with the basic understanding that words mean something. On 22:52, 8 May 2007, shortly after the both of us were blocked, you requested an unblock where you made many claims. [13] Since we are dealing with one claim per topic, I would like to discuss the concept of edit warring. The following diffs are a brief, selective sample record of relevant events listed by edit summary, focusing on a select number of edits by Arcayne due to the claims made in the unblock request. There may be other diffs that are applicable, or not:
According to the edit war guideline ( WP:EW), "An edit war is when two or more contributors repeatedly revert one another's edits to an article." By that definition, we, that is, Viriditas and Arcayne, were engaged in an edit war. Do you agree, Arcayne? If not, why not? — Viriditas | Talk 08:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Arcayne, you have repeatedly claimed that "at least three other editors have (left Children of Men)" due to what you call my "intransigence". [15] Who are these three editors and where can I find the diffs verifying this statement? I would like to know who I have offended so I can apologize to them. — Viriditas | Talk 09:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
You are misinterpreting my unwillingness to involve others as an inability to do so. And thank you for once again proving you cannot accept criticism without making personal attacks. Please do not accept this as such, but I must ask: are you a minor? If so, it would excuse your antisocial behavior as just being a youth, and render a great deal of this conversation as moot. If you are not a minor, then I guess we can continue. I just don't want to debate children, and I don't know if anyone has asked before. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I am not asking the question (which you are still avoiding answering) to be uncivil. I am asking because it is pointless to debate matters of behavior with children; their own parents are best suited to that particular task. If you are a child, I can take that into consideration when dealing with your personal attacks and uncivil behavior. If you are not a child, then this is a matter that can continue. I do find it rather interesting that you are failing to answer any question deliberately put to you, attempting instead to deflect matters elsewhere. For the third time, answer the question, please. Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me, but my inquiry as to whether you are a minor or not is not a personal attack - if you are such a person, this conversation is done, as I do not debate youngsters. If you perceived a slight out of that request, you have my apologies. It is certainly not intended as such. I am asking because if you are a minor, I am deriving an unfair advantage in conversations about maturity. I don't want to know your age, Viriditas. I really don't want to know anything about you. However, it occurred to me that we might be disconnecting because I am an adult and you are a child. I guess I have to infer from your evasiveness both her and in the mediation section that you are demonstratingthe sorts of behaviors one often sees in some of our younger people. If you aren't a minor, then I tender my apologies, but until you say, point blank (call it my Essjay guarantee) that you aren't a minor, I am going to assume that by your repeated evasions that you are. As I said before, I don't debate children. Arcayne (cast a spell) 22:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Arcayne, you have claimed several times that I have been "reinstating uncited statements" [16]; that I have been "reverting content without citing references" [17]; that I have "sought to include uncited (and then maintain) uncited information" [18]; that I was engaged in "reverting cited information with - again - uncited information" [19]; and that I was "the only person offering uncited data needing reversion" [20]. You also went on to claim that I "alter citations in such a way that is not supported by citation" [21]. Could I ask you to be so kind as to provide diffs for these serious accusations? Thank you. — Viriditas | Talk 20:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't on today because I had an all-day corporate team building seminar at the office. Looks like that was bad timing. But since you both have been going back and forth pretty well without me for the last 24 hours or so, can you move this conversation to one of your talk pages? If you still want my input, I can look in a little later when I get caught up with everything else and have time to read all this. Kafziel Talk 00:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you. I'm sure you're already aware of Tyrus's uncivil and bias behavior. I'd like to just alert you to this article: Career achievements of Dwyane Wade. The comments I made on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/TyrusThomas4lyf extend to this article as well. He reverts these statistics, because he deems them arbitrary. But, as we have discussed on other pages, they are notable...and the page itself is for detailed statistics. I'm not looking to get into a edit war with him, but he seems to be baiting editors. Incidently, similar statistics are listed on Jordan's page, but he doesn't edit those out. Just more evidence of his biases on Wiki. Just thought I'd alert you to another article he seems to be attacking. Hopefully that RFC resolves everything...although I'm not sure why he hasn't commented there?

Seems the other user is not bringing reference... 2. The whole section is OR in my view. There are countries mentioned there as "likely to join the ranks of developed nations" without giving refrence for it.. thanks Farmanesh 16:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you blocked a certain acquaintance. Perhaps relatedly, please observe what is happening at North America. AC recently added this tidbit about it being considered a 'subcontinent', it has been removed and readded anonymously recently. I decided to tweak it to hark of similar content at South America, and haven't deleted anything of substance, elsewhere in the article, or unsourced. Guess what? An anonymous editor again readds and maintain this information. Note the consistent misspelling of 'Aditionally'. I strongly suspect that the anonymous IPs which have continually added this information are one and the same as the suspected puppetmaster. This is improper, no? Please take action or provide counsel. Thanks. Corticopia 23:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Throughout this verbiage, which I won't comment on, AC has forgotten a few important things. First, technically, the editor(s) AC listed above were never blocked as a result of sockpuppetry, and that editor merely moved on to different accounts for whatever reasons (and AC's accusations were dismissed partially because of that). Importantly, in this instance, AC has continued to edit anonymously and admitted it -- including recently, while self-identifying -- in evasion of his current 3RR block (both in the name and article-space), while this editor has not. (Note that I'm not blocked.) Need I say more? Corticopia 14:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh! do you know Portuguese? on what grounds you realised that it is a "personal" attack? which sentense? However, if you don't know Portuguese, keep your mouth shut! 74.14.122.64 23:59, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I disbelieve that he knew not to edit anonymously while being blocked -- since he seems to know everything else -- while pushing here-nor-there edits, but you're the admin.
As well, I apologise for the copyediting of statements; I typically stop that once someone has responded. I must use the preview feature more; a personal failing. :) Corticopia 15:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
For the way you blocked this user.
Omega Archdoom Talk 04:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Kaf, as you once said to me, the best way to solve an edit war is by not starting one. Well, I guess Corticopia is "angry" because of the message I left above (I guess). My point is that he is starting an edit war in Metropolis. He changed the whole geographical arrangement of the page to (as usual) exclude Mexico from being "seen together with the US and Canada". He changed the page to introduce another geographical model in which Mexico is not in "North America" but in "Middle America", despiste the fact that model is rarely used in Wikipedia. The article has never used that model, and almost by convention every other single article doesn't use that "model", but the regular 7 continents.
He's not following his own logical. One example, in the article "North America" he refuses my introduction of a text until "I can reach a consensus with the other editors", but in these page metropolis, he just changed the whole article. So, that's just a provocation from my point of view. Can you please do something? I don't want to be accused of "edit warring" when I never start that things. Again, as you said, the best way to solve an edit war, is by not starting one, and he's certainly starting one. Alex Covarrubias ( Talk? ) 05:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you recently blocked Jessdro indefinitely. This is the user's first block and this user had not even received a full set of warnings. Without a doubt the user deserved to be blocked, and I'm not second guessing the "call on the field" in that regard.

Kaf, I find it really offensive that everybody can see that anon. IP user is adding unsourced information and you come to me and tell me I'm gonna be blocked for reverting his/her changes. What about that? What are you gonna do to stop him/her from adding unsourced information? Isn't your duty as an admin to stop vandals? Or adding unsourced information is not a type of vandalism?
What do you suggest me to do? I mean if the answer is not reverting his/her changes and the person refuses to add soruces (or just enter with a diff IP), then what can I do? I left a message for every anon. IP, did you notice the IP is from the same town in Germany?
I also requested the page to be semi-protected. However, if trying to talk to the person is not working, then what an editor like me is suppoused to do? Please tell me. Alex Covarrubias ( Talk? ) 15:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

So we're currently at a point where we're only agreeing (or violently agreeing) 1 time out of 10, 8 times out of 10 I'm just going "well, no, that wasn't really what I was thinking of in the first place", and 1 time out of 10, I'm honestly missing or forgetting an argument. ^^;;
I hope we can find common ground soon.
Apologies that this is so frustrating, but at the same time, thank you so much for your patience so far. -- Kim Bruning 01:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Your actions in the case of
Jessdro (whom you blocked indefinitely) have come to my attention via a plea by the user. You stated that if he could show three helpful edits, you would reduce the duration of his block. He did so, and yet he's still blocked. Perhaps you forgot to unblock him? I think in the interest of fairness, you should act on this.

Please refrain from attacking other users as you did here. Editing Wikipedia can be frustrating, but it's important to keep a cool head. Labelling other editors trolls is counterproductive, and behavior like that can get you blocked if it keeps up. There's no need to get bent out of shape so quickly; if something seems unfair or improper to you, take the time to find out the other person's reasoning. They might know something you don't. Kafziel Talk 12:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
(I tried to post this a little while ago, but just noticed that I'd got caught in an edit conflict, so it didn't appear...) Hi. I see you've had contacts with User:AlexCovarrubias before, so I thought I'd drop you a line. I'm pretty new to Wikipedia, but have been spending some time trying to clear up and improve coverage on Latin America. (See my contribs. There's a long way to go.) On the page Latin America itself, several times now I've run into problems as User:AlexCovarrubias puts back information that I've edited out, reverting or effectively reverting. I've tried to explain my rationale both on his user page and at Talk:Latin America, but he doesn't seem particularly keen on such discussion or generally on collaboration. Any advice on how to proceed? Again, I'm new here so general advice is also helpful. And I don't expect editing Wikipedia to be plain sailing, but this is rather frustrating. -- Jbmurray 07:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Sadly the situation seems to be continuing. User:AlexCovarrubias continues with his kneejerk reverts [25], and shows a marked reluctance either to engage in real discussion or (and for me this is worse) to provide any constructive steps forward as to how to improve these articles. Instead, he simply reverts what he perceives (errneously) to be instances of "anti-Mexicanism." Again, help and advice would be most welcome. -- Jbmurray 22:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
And unfortunately, User:AlexCovarrubias has now erased my attempts to initiate discussion with him. [26] [27] I find this rather reprehensible. -- Jbmurray 23:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Kafziel. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace.

It seems that List of alleged secret agents has been somehow deleted. I probably missed the deletion discussion about it. Could you please restore this article in my name space, so I could rework the list? Was it really decided to be deleted? Thank you! Biophys 18:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Kafziel
I think the deletion might be a blessing in disguise, because I'd like to make this entry good enough that it will be what comes up when someone does a search on "The Last." The current "default" article (not sure of the terminology), though very slick and organized, is about a SINGLE episode of an audio play of Doctor Who. The Last (the band) have been around for over 30 years, and are cited as influences by members of The Minutemen, Black Flag, DESCENDENTS, etc. In fact, a recent incarnation of The Last featured Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, DESCENDENTS, ALL) on drums, and Karl Alvarez (DESCENDENTS, ALL) on bass. Their first album was just reissued by Bomp! Records which has also been around for a long time, and is well known as a medium-sized independent label specializing in garage punk and neo-psychedelia.
I know all this needs to be verifiable. When the time comes, how do I suggest that group's entry and not the single audio play episode comes up first when "The Last" is typed in the "search" field?
I'm so happy you liked it, dear Kafziel ;) Feel free to use it if you wish! Hope you're doing great, and love ya, Phaedriel - 21:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I really like your pwnage userbox, so I "borrowed" it. Is that okay? - Juansidious 21:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey Kafziel - do you remember blocking this IP as User:71.112.7.212? They continue to vandalize - a little help? Here's my ANI:
User:71.112.142.5, who has vandalized the Afro page as User:71.112.7.212 and User: 71.112.6.35 is once again vandalizing. This user has been the subject of a RfC, has been blocked several times, and now is using multiple IPs. They engage in disruptive editing and WP:GAME the rules so they just slightly dance inside the system. They are continually reverted. A review of their most egregious behavior is found at User:71.112.7.212, but now that they are slipping in and out of IPs, they try to only troll selectively. I'd like to ask for the above IPs to be blocked from Afro or, at the very least, have some admins take note of their behavior and engage them. -- David Shankbone 15:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
thanks for your warning message. But I recommend you find a job, my dearest American. It seems to me you don't even have a job, THAT IS WHY you do have plenty of time on wiki, am I right? you are 30, but you acheived NOTHING, shame on you! 70.54.11.30 21:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kafziel. Could you please have a look at the update re the related incident report at the AN/I. Thanks in advance. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 01:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Macau people are very smart. We are using mobile IPs, it means when you block, we will shift, no matter how you changed or blocked. If it is a range block, we will shift the network completely. Let's block this one, hahaha! 74.14.121.103 03:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
This is exactly the sort of thing I warned you about. First of all, he's absolutely right - you're not allowed to change other people's comments in discussions for any reason. Secondly, if you don't like what someone writes on your talk page, you can remove their comments without calling them "absurd" and "asinine". Now, you can overreact to what I'm saying here and call it a threat (which will get you nowhere) or you can take it for what it's worth: one last friendly warning before things start to get unpleasant. I could leave you some stupid {{npa3}} template warning instead, but I prefer to talk things out like human beings whenever possible. You seem to have the potential to be a good editor, but I will not sit by and let you abuse others while I wait for that good editor to evolve. Kafziel Talk 04:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, the guy has reverted me three times without discussing anything on the talk page and I don't have any administrative authority to do anything for that. Would you mind looking into the case? SosoMK 20:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Believe me, Sosomk, you don't want me to get involved. The way I see it, he wouldn't have been able to revert you if you hadn't already reverted him, so you are both equally at fault. Stop reverting and discuss, even if that means it has to stay on a version you don't like for a while. Just ask Corticopia - when I stop an edit war, nobody is happy. Kafziel Talk 20:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello...I noticed that you had posted a notice on my user page that the article is under protection against edit wars.
I agree with that, since I had posted on the discussion page (now archived) that a user had been repeatedly doing precisely and refused to discuss the reverts. Despite repeated warnings to stop, he continued.
Yet another editor, who likes to pretend he's an administrator, agreed with that user, and refused to do anything about the incessant revisions.
I was looking for a way to stop this, since the friends of the abuser did nothing to stop him. I discovered WP's three revert rule, which states that one must give the abuser fair warning by posting such on their user page.
To be fair, I posted on the article's discussion page (now archived) that that is what I intended to do if the abuser didn't stop.
Literally two minutes later, I was served with warnings by the faux administrator (Shoesss) and by one of the abuser's friends (neither of whom had done anything to stop the incessant reverts); I then got the notice that the page was being protected from edits. You placed that on my user page.
Since that IS what I wanted, and it seemed the only way to stop the abuser, I had no issue with your posting of that message. But when I went back to the article, and looked at the pages of other editors, it seems only I was served!
Since I was the one who was trying to stop the abuser - without help from the faux admin or the abuser's friends - I'm just curious as to why I was the one being served with the notice of the page protection.
That type of protection applies to anyone who'd try to edit the page until the hold on the article expires, correct?
If you could help me understand how this works, I'd appreciate it. (I've also learned to first DO what you're going to do on WP, i.e., notify admins or the like BEFORE you post to warn people of what you will do if article butchery doesn't stop. Apparently the game is that if you give people fair warning, and they know how the WP system works, they will report YOU first. See? I'm a quick study.)
Thanks for any light you can shed on this matter.

Hi Kafziel, I just saw an unpleasant incident (fortunately this is not about me!). It seems that one user falsely reported another user for alleged copyright violation, and the user who did not do anything wrong was blocked by administrator for two days. But maybe it is me who is wrong? Could you take a look and comment please? Please see [29], and [30]. Biophys 19:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sir,
You lambasted my third attempt to add significant data about KidCast and in particular "KidCast for Peace; Solutions for a Better World," that was birthed to celebrate the UN's 50th anniversary in SF. The entry I have been attempting to make; regarding the project has been rejected by you and others.
Can you please be constructive in your suggestions for what is the best way to add this significant event, that is verifiable and significant, in the annal's of web history, children's education and technology advancement?? Are you seeking someone other than me to make the entry? Is that what the problem is here, that I am writing about a project I produced? Please advise?
I have supplied published articles, links to online participants and other documentation, etc. What else is needed to having this episode of the birth of video broadcasting and educational entertianment on the web, be authenticated and posted on Wikipedia? I am asking for your recommendation for how to get this work reinstated here? Please be helpful rather than (what appears to be) cut throat. Thanks
Peter

From the

(self-nomination)This article is simply excellent. Excellent writing, interesting subject matter, improved during its Good Article trial, and eye-witnesses have left notes on the Talk page that talk about the article being so accurate, it's like they were living it all over again. Written in a NPOV and heavily cited with the highest of sources, it includes GFDL media, is wikified to the fullest, a fantastic "See Also" section, and looks at the story from every angle. --

Hi Kafziel, I am asking your assistance in clarifying the first sentance of the article for the country Canada. It does not follow the form of any other country, and furthermore defines canada as occupying most of "Northern North America". There has been a large and rather unproductive conversation on the talk page regarding this, and my position is that Northern North America is not a defined place and by citing it takes away from the encyclopedic nature of the article. It is also not listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_North_America_and_Northern_America article. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks, oo7jeep Oo7jeep 14:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I am aware of that, but in fairness, seeing as you are not interested in the issue and knew it was being discussed, you could have at least allowed a consensus to be reached before deciding to make the change yourself. — Dorvaq ( talk) 16:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
The point I agreed with was Corticopia's, which didn't really have anything to do with "ambiguity". The point was a simple matter of throwing the statement regarding Canada being the largest country in North America into the geography section, and replacing it with "occupies most of northern..." in the introduction, which in effect would situate Canada within North America. Corticopia felt from a reader's perspective that it was more important to situate Canada than to establish it as the largest country. No argument regarding ambiguity was made at least on my part. Anyhow, I must stress again that I really don't care what version we use just as long as both statements are used. I really have no issue with either. — Dorvaq ( talk) 13:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding this report: [35]
THe first one was a partial revert, the second one was a revert.
Wikipedia states: A revert, in this context, means undoing, in whole or in part, the actions of another editor or of other editors.
Thats why I reported him. Also, the reason we usually report the arbcom violations on the 3rr noticeboard is because we get a quicker response. We've all done it before and other admins were ok with it, including arbcom admins. Thanks, have a good day. Hajji Piruz 14:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Kafziel, you might remember this user from Georgia (country). After returning from the block Sosomk maintains the same attitude, revert warring and incivility. My [36] was declined. I asked for it to be reconsidered. Tamokk 01:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your vote for support even if it was premature. The problem is that "jump the gun" votes are explicitly forbidden according to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/nominate. I guess the concern is that some candidates might "pack the ballot box" by lining up support before going live with an RFA. For this reason, I removed your vote along with a couple of other "premature" votes.
The RFA is now live so you are welcome to express your opinion now.

Hey Kafziel Talk, VK35 ( talk · contribs) has recently entered an extremely contentious situation involving the Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom murder article as a representative of the RFC cabal. I know you have placed this article on your watch list since you have recently “Protected” the page because of an edit war going on. By the way, thanks. My question is, I just found out that VK35 ( talk · contribs) has just been indefinitely blocked see; [ [41]] First, how do I handle this situation? Second, how do I get another representative to get involved, since this article does desperately need a non-bias third party representative. Thanks for any and all help or suggestions. Shoessss talk

Hey there, I noticed that you changed {{ cereal box cover}} to {{ GFDL}} because you had taken the photograph. The problem with that is that your photograph is a derivative work (see Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ#Derivative works). So your photograph cannot be distributed without the permission of the box cover's copyright owner (unless, of course, it qualifies as fair use). It's kinda a muddled bit of copyright law, but it's always best to be on the safe side of copyright law. — Laura Scudder ☎ 03:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I would like to suggest that you lift the block. If you look at his contributions on the article's talk page you can see that he acted in good faith and was provoked by two editors who have a pattern of tag team edit warring and entrapping less experienced editors into 3RR violations. This is a form of harrasment which is not what the 3RR limitations was intended for. I would also ask you to keep an eye on User:Isarig's reports on the 3RR notice board. If his reports appear with great frequency, someone should ask why. ابو علي (Abu Ali) 20:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting that some form of punishment be taken to contain the following user: User:Myasuda. By his or her continual, unjustified and discriminate reversions of my edits, I believe that he or she has reached a level of vandalism. From what I gather, this user thinks that I am someone else, perhaps someone whom he or she has a vendetta against. I have asked him/her to stop this abuse. I have left a warning on his/her user page as well, which you will see at or near the bottom of his talk page. Yet, this problem from him (or her) persists even after I have left warnings. I am sorry that I am not more familiar with how to use Wikipedia to link you to the direct instances of his/her vandalism, but you can gather all that you should probably need just from looking at the edit history of the following page: NBA records. However, this is not the only place where Myasuda has reverted edits specifically made by me, but it is the best example.
This user has also demonstrated a significant amount of bias in favor of Wilt Chamberlain. For instance, I noticed that when a user tries to correct biased statements made in favor of Wilt Chamberlain (and apparently these original statements were written by Myasuda), Myasuda will continually revert the edits to his biased statements. He does not seem to understand how he is being biased. One example of this can be found from the edit history of the following page: Rebound (basketball). Thank you, and if you need to respond, perhaps it will be best to do it right here on your page. I will make sure to check your talk page for further communication on this issue. Thanks much for your help.-- Hoopsknowledge 00:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

You are the one who blocked this user I take.... he seems to be at it again as an anon [42] and as you can see is levying personal attacks against editors, can you lend a hand? DMighton 18:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, since your advice on my talk page was helpful, I'm wondering if I could ask for it again. I've been making a strong effort to discuss the article and achieve consensus, however the article appears to be getting only more POV, and as for consensus -- there doesn't even seem to be consensus on the need for consensus. I'm unfamiliar with all the relevant mediation, RfC, etc procedures, but I'm feeling more and more certain that some kind of intervention needs to take place. Can you point me in the right direction? Eleland 22:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Im sorry, that was a mistake. Thanks for catching it early. If I had noticed I would have fixed it myself. Oh I know how it happened, I had edited over a previous version! Silly mistake on my part. Hajji Piruz 14:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
A 24 hour block for at least 14 reverts in an obvious war????? Do you think that's fair to legitimate editors like myself who had to refrain from editing the article because we were afraid of violating 3RR?? I think the anonymous vandal (after 14 reverts I think we can call the editor a vandal) deserves more. Orangemarlin 23:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
The 3RR rule allows, at the reasonable discretion of the editor who chooses to use the permitted three on limited occasions, three reverts. That's why it's called the 3RR rule. When another editor, such as the unregistered IP that was involved here, persistently reverts vastly beyond the permitted three, there's no requisite to insist that the first user should not exhaust the permitted three before getting out of the way. As to the block of ConfuciiusOrnis, I recognize he appears to have exceeded the permitted three, but respectfully request that Kafziel use administrative discretion and lift the block of ConfuciusOrnis under the present circumstances. Thanks. ... Kenosis 00:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
The rule does not convey an entitlement to revert three times each day, nor does it endorse reverting as an editing technique; rather, the rule is an "electric fence". Editors may still be blocked even if they have not made more than three reverts in any given 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. This particularly applies to editors who persistently make three reverts each day, or three reverts on each of a group of pages, in an apparent effort to game the system. Many administrators give less leniency to users who have been blocked before, and may block such users for any disruptive edit warring, even if they do not exceed three reverts on a page in 24 hours.
I know your talk page states that you will check pages where you have left messages, but as this is the first time we have conversed, I would just like to play it safe. I have read your post to me "A note about sources" carefully, and though I have tried to take its advice to heart, I have a few questions. Could you please review them on my talk page and help clear up my confusion? -- Qwerty7412369 17:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
You may want to see the CU results at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Wrestlinglover420. The answer "Possible" given there, I'm assuming, means that he is likely a sockpuppet of TheManWhoLaughs? If so, can you block him indefinitely? Lord Sesshomaru

Hey Kafziel, why did you block him so suddenly? I figured you just read Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/BlueShrek and decided to block him based on his edits? Lord Sesshomaru
Though I'm sure I've seen it before, where is the policy that says something in the likes of: "Breaking 3RR to revert obvious sockpuppets/meatpuppets is allowed."? If possible, I'll use this rule to prevent (another) temporary block for 3RR on my account. Lord Sesshomaru
What a shame, my request would be denied? Can I do it anyways (just in case) or do you have another plan? For how much longer does this have to go on until we can grant a range block? Lord Sesshomaru

(yes again, and so soon after vacation). If you have time I would like an admin's/second opinion on the recent external link additions (now two) on the page. Neither belong IMO, based on the guidelines. Frankly I have a hard time keeping "good faith" when someone comes to do nothing but add a link and complain when asked to defend it, so perhaps new eyes might keep it from turning into a revert war. -- Ari 02:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

As you may have noticed, and as I tagged it sometime back, Category:Orange County, New York has been getting rather large. Since it has been mostly entries I've created that have gotten it that way, I have been creating some local categories to diffuse entries into ( Category:Cornwall, New York and Category:Goshen, New York).
A couple of days User:Noroton created Category:Education in Orange County, New York and finally, by doing so, sort of forced my hand on posting a more comprehensive topic-based master subcategorization scheme to the category talk page, one that I had been thinking over for a while. So, as the other OCNY-based editor, I'd certainly appreciate it if you had the chance to look it over and tell me what you think. Daniel Case 20:50, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Trix box 2006.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Until (1 == 2) 19:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

hi, i noticed that you deleted the edible arrangements page back in february. i was wondering if there was some way it could be put back up?
Hey!
I created a wiki-page for a Finnish indie label If Society in February and you deleted it under the criteria of notability, which is kind of weird, since I would seriously challenge your ability to judge notability of a foreign indie label from the US. Granted, labels such as the above mentioned are notable usually mostly nationally, but since the majority of labels like these operate globally and in English, so notability in the English-speaking part of the world should not be a prerequisite.
As for national notability, this label has been operating almost 10 years, is one of the most important Finnish indies and just had an album open at #11 on the Finnish album chart this year, so I guess that would warrant at least some sort of notability, so please do leave the article be once I recreate it.
Thanks!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Forssto ( talk • contribs)

Hi, I'm not sure if you remember TyrusThomas4lyf who was indefinately banned for repeated personal attacks, sockpuppetry, and other assorted acts of vandalism. But, it looks as if he has returned under two new anon ip's: 75.34.40.191, 75.34.30.119, and 75.31.237.66. I started a case on his new sockpuppetry here: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (2nd), please feel free to review if and when you have a chance. I only bring this to your attention because you are familar with his acts of vandalism, and it seems he has returned to his old habbits. Thanks for your help! Zodiiak 00:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Blue_Sky_and_White_Sun.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 03:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
Since this article was created by you, I would like to know the reason why the word kayal being a Malayalam word was introduced in the article title. This is an English language wikipedia, if you really wanted to create a list of lakes, the title should have been List of lakes in India and not List of kayals in India. However I would like to know if a kayal is very different from a lake. Please clarify... Thanks -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me/ My edits 08:30, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) Hmm, if you take my word, you could have created an article List of lakes in India, create a section called Kerala in it and then add the list of lakes. I don't think any bigot or otherwise would have been able to question you on that. As long as we are sure about what we are doing, I dont think we should be worried about what fuss that would create. I am not attaching you with any conspiracy, so you need not lose sleep over it. You aren't but looking at the way Wikipedia is getting popular, I am sure it will dominate the world some day :) Thanks -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me/ My edits 09:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The Nero article often gets a bunch of religious people who want to change things up because they learned Nero persecuted Christians. Its a fairly regular task to protect it from religious folk and keep it based on secular Roman histories.
I know its only a semantic argument and its subtle. I don't know why this guy doesn't like the word "secular", but I don't want to refer to Roman historians in the opening as "non-Christian" as its not the tone of the article.
Anyway, sorry for all of this. Hoshidoshi 15:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Kafziel, my issue was indeed a minor one. Is it my fault that it got stone-walled? Also, I wasn't on the road to breaking 3RR and cannot be held accountable for the fact that Hoshi did. Also, EAlacey did agree with me so it's hardly me religious looney. In any case, Hoshi knows nothing about me and still writes things like that. No way to go.

I'm no stranger to TWV, however I don't always think it's best to "jump in feet first" without a little bit of background, or to avoid a 3RR block on symantics (if I'd taken the time on the 3RR report to show the content versus the reverts...). The talk page is cluttered and has 2 or 3 active issues going on, which makes it hard to discern consensus or disruptive behavior -- you can take me at my word in saying this has been ongoing for days. At any rate, discussion is moot at this point. Thanks for your tireless efforts etc etc. :-) / Blaxthos 18:20, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I've added the following at [3].
Since you've been involved, I thought you might like to comment either here or there.
Hello - the following may be in the wrong place, but I'd like to float things past people anyway. I'm here as PalestineRemembered [4], and I edit exclusively on one topic (you guessed it). I have personal reasons for acting in this way, which I attempted to explain on my UserPage. However, even my attempts to explain seem to cause huge problems. The question I have for you all is - does my UserName really present a problem? Most people use some form of nickname for much the same reason as I'm doing. Mine is slightly different, I'm using it to share with you all something I wish to share (I trust that makes everyones life easier). I'm sure many other people are posting much as I do, but with less transparency. Is there something fundamentally wrong with a UserName such as mine? PalestineRemembered 09:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
My major problem with you was the initial threat of blocking everyone. Please understand, that from my perspective there was a) no edit war, b) no need to block anyone and c) certainly no need to edit protect the article. So when your first post was in effect, "I don't care what you think, get over it" coupled with your (IMO gleeful) re-telling of how you had previously blocked everyone at some edit dispute and I guess we should be lucky you didn't do the same here, it took me aback. That kind of action or attitude certainly was not necessary here. Just remember, the 3RR report was about a caption that could've been simply removed. The intro stuff was in the discussion phase, no one had editted it significantly for a few days. I've been here for three years, and have been in some very heated debates. But never have I been threatened with a block, and usually a consensus is reached. Looking at it now, you may have been joking about blocking everyone, but it comes across horribly, when a) I don't know you or your style, b) you have already done something that I consider to be way overboard and possibly borderline abusive (re: use of your sysop powers regarding locking the page). My mentions of being blocked was not about you, and actually being blocked, I was being sarcastic. I'm sure Blaxthos got it because we have a prior relationship, but since you don't know me, you took it a different way. See how these things can happen in cyberspace :). In any case, I've slept on it and although I still believe you were wrong, I'm not going to hold it against you in the future and am willing to get past it. However, I will not be going to Foxnews, and since apparantly Blaxthos is doing the same, I guess that debate is over. Ramsquire (throw me a line) 16:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
You can disagree all you like. The other editors who were reverting his changes had no more right to do so than he had to make them. He did not violate 3RR (and if we're going to talk about blocking someone based on the spirit of 3RR, then I could have blocked everyone involved - it wouldn't be my first time). Reach consensus (not just a bunch of people shouting louder than some other people, as I explained above) and then the article will be unprotected.
Okay, you win. I'll go ahead and revert all the changes I made... oh, wait, I didn't make any. I'll put the FAQ tag back... oh, wait, I never removed it. So I'll just unprotect the article and you can edit it... oh, wait, I already did that, too. Maybe if I unblock all your friends... oh, wait, I didn't block anyone. In that case, I'm at a loss as to precisely what the hell you want from me. Kafziel Talk 17:17, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Being right about an issue does not mean you're not being a dick yourself! Dicks can be right — but they're still dicks... If you've been labeled as a dick, especially if you have been told this by several people in a particular community, it might be wise to consider the possibility that it is true.

Hello. I wrote this article as a "work in progress" in order to have an entry for a company that owns and operates malls in the eastern US. I noticed that there are LOTS of real estate developers that have articles on Wikipedia and I thought it would be a good idea to write about this company's history, particularly because of their history as one of America's first shopping mall developers, starting back in the 1950's. Because of their contribution to US history, I thought they deserved an entry on Wikipedia. I did not intend to write it as a way to promote the company, as I have no connections to the company whatsoever.

I was coming by to follow up but it seems that Kafziel has already explained most of it to you. If Edna Reindel worked for the Army, or was commissioned by the Army to do this painting, then it would be public domain. The request I made to you was to give us the URL of the web page, which would give us more information than just the URL to the image. I tried to search for the image on Google using "calship burner site:www.army.mil" which turns up nothing, suggesting it's not even being displayed on the site.

Dear Kafziel;
I did not violate the "spirit" of the 3RR... Saying such sounds like a non-binding punishment for actions that do not deserve such. I was merely restoring the first line to state fact. If anything violates the 3RR, it is the hair-trigger reaction in false reporting and the constant reverts. Charles 19:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

You mentioned here that I can seek dispute resolution. This is all so frustrating as I'm trying to follow protocol, yet one rogue editor is being allowed to get away with anything and when I try to avoid 3RR, I'm still accused of it. Obviously I'm frustrated, and I acknowledge that, but I stepped back for a couple days and now I would like to know how to seek resolution. I've done an RfC, but no one has commented. What other options can do I have? And also, why is it that the user can, seemingly get away with what he wants to? Is there nothing that can be done? This user has changed the article name without a consensus and reverts anyone who tries to put it back or improve the article factually. On the talk page we are discussing and striving for factual truth, yet the user is at fault of ignoring that. I would appreciate any assistance you could offer as I want to do it right. What would you have done differently and how would you approach it. Thanks for your time! -- Maniwar ( talk) 21:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Since you've given me good advice before, I hope you won't mind if I ask for your opinion on another matter. In a Discussion page for an article, I've been going back and forth with an editor (over a content/wording) who has grown increasingly uncivil and aggressive. The way I have seen it up until now, I can
a) respond in kind and have the thing escalate into an edit war (not an option)
b) ignore the edits, hoping he will calm down and approach the matter more civilly without personal attacks (and run the risk of having a complaint filed for not interacting with my fellow editors)
c) leave the article in disgust (at least three other editors have done this, due to the editor's intransigence), or
d) remove the edits as disruptive personal attacks, asking the editor (both on his Talk Page and in the edit summary for the removal) to rephrase the edits in a more civil manner.
I know what I've done, but I thought I'd get your input, as I tend to agree with both your edgy commentary and sound reasoning.

20:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Yep, I tried asking him to participate in it. He refused each time. Arcayne (cast a spell) 23:48, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
As you can see from Viriditas' insertion into this conversation, the problems run fairly deep. I did ot expect him to come here and interrupt our conversation. If you wish to archive or simply blank the sections, please feel free. He doesn't seemn willing to admit that his behavior made the article environment less than optimum. Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
You compared me to someone who committed a double homicide. I wasn't laughing at the "joke," I was laughing at the uncivility of the comparison. Being a fool doesn't make one funny. Arcayne (cast a spell) 13:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but I didn't come here to discuss with this admin the edits in question; I came to discuss how to respond to your abrasive personality issues. In point of fact, it was your continued personal attacks in the Discussion page of the article - ie, discussing me and not the edits - which prompted my seeking advice elsewhere, as you pointedly ignored attempts to defuse the situation (Erik did come in and ask you to back off the uncivil behavior; you ignored him as well). My recent remarks on the Discussion page have been entirely civil; perhaps doing so only encouraged you to be more aggressive. I am not sure. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Please stop being evasive and answer the question, Viriditas. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I am sorry, but that was noit the question asked. I would like you to simply answer yes or no: are you suggesting that your posts were civil and not personal attacks? Edit warring can simply refer to reverting each other's edits. Your behavior is what we are addressing here - the topic of edit-warring was already concluded. Please answer the question as asked, Viriditas. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I am arguing facts; you are simply choosing to avoid answering a question about behavior that spans multiple edits. You may answer the question, admitting or denying your personal attacks. Please understand that this coinversation will go no further without you answering the question as put. Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Arcayne, I think it is important that we speak the same language and use the same terms with the basic understanding that words mean something. On 22:52, 8 May 2007, shortly after the both of us were blocked, you requested an unblock where you made many claims. [13] Since we are dealing with one claim per topic, I would like to discuss the concept of edit warring. The following diffs are a brief, selective sample record of relevant events listed by edit summary, focusing on a select number of edits by Arcayne due to the claims made in the unblock request. There may be other diffs that are applicable, or not:
According to the edit war guideline ( WP:EW), "An edit war is when two or more contributors repeatedly revert one another's edits to an article." By that definition, we, that is, Viriditas and Arcayne, were engaged in an edit war. Do you agree, Arcayne? If not, why not? — Viriditas | Talk 08:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Arcayne, you have repeatedly claimed that "at least three other editors have (left Children of Men)" due to what you call my "intransigence". [15] Who are these three editors and where can I find the diffs verifying this statement? I would like to know who I have offended so I can apologize to them. — Viriditas | Talk 09:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
You are misinterpreting my unwillingness to involve others as an inability to do so. And thank you for once again proving you cannot accept criticism without making personal attacks. Please do not accept this as such, but I must ask: are you a minor? If so, it would excuse your antisocial behavior as just being a youth, and render a great deal of this conversation as moot. If you are not a minor, then I guess we can continue. I just don't want to debate children, and I don't know if anyone has asked before. Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I am not asking the question (which you are still avoiding answering) to be uncivil. I am asking because it is pointless to debate matters of behavior with children; their own parents are best suited to that particular task. If you are a child, I can take that into consideration when dealing with your personal attacks and uncivil behavior. If you are not a child, then this is a matter that can continue. I do find it rather interesting that you are failing to answer any question deliberately put to you, attempting instead to deflect matters elsewhere. For the third time, answer the question, please. Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me, but my inquiry as to whether you are a minor or not is not a personal attack - if you are such a person, this conversation is done, as I do not debate youngsters. If you perceived a slight out of that request, you have my apologies. It is certainly not intended as such. I am asking because if you are a minor, I am deriving an unfair advantage in conversations about maturity. I don't want to know your age, Viriditas. I really don't want to know anything about you. However, it occurred to me that we might be disconnecting because I am an adult and you are a child. I guess I have to infer from your evasiveness both her and in the mediation section that you are demonstratingthe sorts of behaviors one often sees in some of our younger people. If you aren't a minor, then I tender my apologies, but until you say, point blank (call it my Essjay guarantee) that you aren't a minor, I am going to assume that by your repeated evasions that you are. As I said before, I don't debate children. Arcayne (cast a spell) 22:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Arcayne, you have claimed several times that I have been "reinstating uncited statements" [16]; that I have been "reverting content without citing references" [17]; that I have "sought to include uncited (and then maintain) uncited information" [18]; that I was engaged in "reverting cited information with - again - uncited information" [19]; and that I was "the only person offering uncited data needing reversion" [20]. You also went on to claim that I "alter citations in such a way that is not supported by citation" [21]. Could I ask you to be so kind as to provide diffs for these serious accusations? Thank you. — Viriditas | Talk 20:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't on today because I had an all-day corporate team building seminar at the office. Looks like that was bad timing. But since you both have been going back and forth pretty well without me for the last 24 hours or so, can you move this conversation to one of your talk pages? If you still want my input, I can look in a little later when I get caught up with everything else and have time to read all this. Kafziel Talk 00:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you. I'm sure you're already aware of Tyrus's uncivil and bias behavior. I'd like to just alert you to this article: Career achievements of Dwyane Wade. The comments I made on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/TyrusThomas4lyf extend to this article as well. He reverts these statistics, because he deems them arbitrary. But, as we have discussed on other pages, they are notable...and the page itself is for detailed statistics. I'm not looking to get into a edit war with him, but he seems to be baiting editors. Incidently, similar statistics are listed on Jordan's page, but he doesn't edit those out. Just more evidence of his biases on Wiki. Just thought I'd alert you to another article he seems to be attacking. Hopefully that RFC resolves everything...although I'm not sure why he hasn't commented there?

In spite of your discouragement, I've made another attempt at what I am trying to post, but posted it at the end of my talk page. Could you take a look and let me know if this might be acceptable?

Hi Kafziel, Thanks for your help on NIC. That page had an update as GCC countries were found not be NIC at the end. But now the article is fine and Alex made a nicer map. Seems there is need for your help in Developed_country#Other_parts_of_the_world. There are two problems: 1. Alex and someone else are having serious trouble. Seems the other user is not bringing reference... 2. The whole section is OR in my view. There are countries mentioned there as "likely to join the ranks of developed nations" without giving refrence for it.. thanks Farmanesh 16:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you blocked a certain acquaintance. Perhaps relatedly, please observe what is happening at North America. AC recently added this tidbit about it being considered a 'subcontinent', it has been removed and readded anonymously recently. I decided to tweak it to hark of similar content at South America, and haven't deleted anything of substance, elsewhere in the article, or unsourced. Guess what? An anonymous editor again readds and maintain this information. Note the consistent misspelling of 'Aditionally'. I strongly suspect that the anonymous IPs which have continually added this information are one and the same as the suspected puppetmaster. This is improper, no? Please take action or provide counsel. Thanks. Corticopia 23:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Throughout this verbiage, which I won't comment on, AC has forgotten a few important things. First, technically, the editor(s) AC listed above were never blocked as a result of sockpuppetry, and that editor merely moved on to different accounts for whatever reasons (and AC's accusations were dismissed partially because of that). Importantly, in this instance, AC has continued to edit anonymously and admitted it -- including recently, while self-identifying -- in evasion of his current 3RR block (both in the name and article-space), while this editor has not. (Note that I'm not blocked.) Need I say more? Corticopia 14:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh! do you know Portuguese? on what grounds you realised that it is a "personal" attack? which sentense? However, if you don't know Portuguese, keep your mouth shut! 74.14.122.64 23:59, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I disbelieve that he knew not to edit anonymously while being blocked -- since he seems to know everything else -- while pushing here-nor-there edits, but you're the admin.
As well, I apologise for the copyediting of statements; I typically stop that once someone has responded. I must use the preview feature more; a personal failing. :) Corticopia 15:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
For the way you blocked this user.
Omega Archdoom Talk 04:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Kaf, as you once said to me, the best way to solve an edit war is by not starting one. Well, I guess Corticopia is "angry" because of the message I left above (I guess). My point is that he is starting an edit war in Metropolis. He changed the whole geographical arrangement of the page to (as usual) exclude Mexico from being "seen together with the US and Canada". He changed the page to introduce another geographical model in which Mexico is not in "North America" but in "Middle America", despiste the fact that model is rarely used in Wikipedia. The article has never used that model, and almost by convention every other single article doesn't use that "model", but the regular 7 continents.
He's not following his own logical. One example, in the article "North America" he refuses my introduction of a text until "I can reach a consensus with the other editors", but in these page metropolis, he just changed the whole article. So, that's just a provocation from my point of view. Can you please do something? I don't want to be accused of "edit warring" when I never start that things. Again, as you said, the best way to solve an edit war, is by not starting one, and he's certainly starting one. Alex Covarrubias ( Talk? ) 05:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you recently blocked Jessdro indefinitely. This is the user's first block and this user had not even received a full set of warnings. Without a doubt the user deserved to be blocked, and I'm not second guessing the "call on the field" in that regard. Now that there is time for reflection, however, might you consider reducing the duration to a more standard first block of 24-72 hours or something? If I missed something in my review please let me know. -- Selket Talk 05:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Kaf, I find it really offensive that everybody can see that anon. IP user is adding unsourced information and you come to me and tell me I'm gonna be blocked for reverting his/her changes. What about that? What are you gonna do to stop him/her from adding unsourced information? Isn't your duty as an admin to stop vandals? Or adding unsourced information is not a type of vandalism?
What do you suggest me to do? I mean if the answer is not reverting his/her changes and the person refuses to add soruces (or just enter with a diff IP), then what can I do? I left a message for every anon. IP, did you notice the IP is from the same town in Germany?
I also requested the page to be semi-protected. However, if trying to talk to the person is not working, then what an editor like me is suppoused to do? Please tell me. Alex Covarrubias ( Talk? ) 15:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
The user AlexCovarrubias keeps reverting the edits of the following articles: Newly industrialized country, Regional powers, Developed country, Brazil, and many others... a quick look at his "contributions" and at the history of those pages are evidence to that. He has been blocked and warned before but he insists in doing this. Please help. Thanks. Limongi 16:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
We're having a bit of a tricky discussion because we have very different ideas about what's going on and about what should happen.
So we're currently at a point where we're only agreeing (or violently agreeing) 1 time out of 10, 8 times out of 10 I'm just going "well, no, that wasn't really what I was thinking of in the first place", and 1 time out of 10, I'm honestly missing or forgetting an argument. ^^;;
I hope we can find common ground soon.
Apologies that this is so frustrating, but at the same time, thank you so much for your patience so far. -- Kim Bruning 01:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Your actions in the case of
Jessdro (whom you blocked indefinitely) have come to my attention via a plea by the user. You stated that if he could show three helpful edits, you would reduce the duration of his block. He did so, and yet he's still blocked. Perhaps you forgot to unblock him? I think in the interest of fairness, you should act on this.

Please refrain from attacking other users as you did here. Editing Wikipedia can be frustrating, but it's important to keep a cool head. Labelling other editors trolls is counterproductive, and behavior like that can get you blocked if it keeps up. There's no need to get bent out of shape so quickly; if something seems unfair or improper to you, take the time to find out the other person's reasoning. They might know something you don't. Kafziel Talk 12:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
(I tried to post this a little while ago, but just noticed that I'd got caught in an edit conflict, so it didn't appear...) Hi. I see you've had contacts with User:AlexCovarrubias before, so I thought I'd drop you a line. I'm pretty new to Wikipedia, but have been spending some time trying to clear up and improve coverage on Latin America. (See my contribs. There's a long way to go.) On the page Latin America itself, several times now I've run into problems as User:AlexCovarrubias puts back information that I've edited out, reverting or effectively reverting. I've tried to explain my rationale both on his user page and at Talk:Latin America, but he doesn't seem particularly keen on such discussion or generally on collaboration. Any advice on how to proceed? Again, I'm new here so general advice is also helpful. And I don't expect editing Wikipedia to be plain sailing, but this is rather frustrating. -- Jbmurray 07:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Sadly the situation seems to be continuing. User:AlexCovarrubias continues with his kneejerk reverts [25], and shows a marked reluctance either to engage in real discussion or (and for me this is worse) to provide any constructive steps forward as to how to improve these articles. Instead, he simply reverts what he perceives (errneously) to be instances of "anti-Mexicanism." Again, help and advice would be most welcome. -- Jbmurray 22:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
And unfortunately, User:AlexCovarrubias has now erased my attempts to initiate discussion with him. [26] [27] I find this rather reprehensible. -- Jbmurray 23:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It seems that List of alleged secret agents has been somehow deleted. I probably missed the deletion discussion about it. Could you please restore this article in my name space, so I could rework the list? Was it really decided to be deleted? Thank you! Biophys 18:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Kafziel
I think the deletion might be a blessing in disguise, because I'd like to make this entry good enough that it will be what comes up when someone does a search on "The Last." The current "default" article (not sure of the terminology), though very slick and organized, is about a SINGLE episode of an audio play of Doctor Who. The Last (the band) have been around for over 30 years, and are cited as influences by members of The Minutemen, Black Flag, DESCENDENTS, etc. In fact, a recent incarnation of The Last featured Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, DESCENDENTS, ALL) on drums, and Karl Alvarez (DESCENDENTS, ALL) on bass. Their first album was just reissued by Bomp! Records which has also been around for a long time, and is well known as a medium-sized independent label specializing in garage punk and neo-psychedelia.
I know all this needs to be verifiable. When the time comes, how do I suggest that group's entry and not the single audio play episode comes up first when "The Last" is typed in the "search" field?
I'm so happy you liked it, dear Kafziel ;) Feel free to use it if you wish! Hope you're doing great, and love ya, Phaedriel - 21:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I really like your pwnage userbox, so I "borrowed" it. Is that okay? - Juansidious 21:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey Kafziel - do you remember blocking this IP as User:71.112.7.212? They continue to vandalize - a little help? Here's my ANI:
User:71.112.142.5, who has vandalized the Afro page as User:71.112.7.212 and User: 71.112.6.35 is once again vandalizing. This user has been the subject of a RfC, has been blocked several times, and now is using multiple IPs. They engage in disruptive editing and WP:GAME the rules so they just slightly dance inside the system. They are continually reverted. A review of their most egregious behavior is found at User:71.112.7.212, but now that they are slipping in and out of IPs, they try to only troll selectively. I'd like to ask for the above IPs to be blocked from Afro or, at the very least, have some admins take note of their behavior and engage them. -- David Shankbone 15:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
thanks for your warning message. But I recommend you find a job, my dearest American. It seems to me you don't even have a job, THAT IS WHY you do have plenty of time on wiki, am I right? you are 30, but you acheived NOTHING, shame on you! 70.54.11.30 21:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kafziel. Could you please have a look at the update re the related incident report at the AN/I. Thanks in advance. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 01:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Macau people are very smart. We are using mobile IPs, it means when you block, we will shift, no matter how you changed or blocked. If it is a range block, we will shift the network completely. Let's block this one, hahaha! 74.14.121.103 03:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
This is exactly the sort of thing I warned you about. First of all, he's absolutely right - you're not allowed to change other people's comments in discussions for any reason. Secondly, if you don't like what someone writes on your talk page, you can remove their comments without calling them "absurd" and "asinine". Now, you can overreact to what I'm saying here and call it a threat (which will get you nowhere) or you can take it for what it's worth: one last friendly warning before things start to get unpleasant. I could leave you some stupid {{npa3}} template warning instead, but I prefer to talk things out like human beings whenever possible. You seem to have the potential to be a good editor, but I will not sit by and let you abuse others while I wait for that good editor to evolve. Kafziel Talk 04:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, the guy has reverted me three times without discussing anything on the talk page and I don't have any administrative authority to do anything for that. Would you mind looking into the case? SosoMK 20:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Believe me, Sosomk, you don't want me to get involved. The way I see it, he wouldn't have been able to revert you if you hadn't already reverted him, so you are both equally at fault. Stop reverting and discuss, even if that means it has to stay on a version you don't like for a while. Just ask Corticopia - when I stop an edit war, nobody is happy. Kafziel Talk 20:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello...I noticed that you had posted a notice on my user page that the article is under protection against edit wars.
I agree with that, since I had posted on the discussion page (now archived) that a user had been repeatedly doing precisely and refused to discuss the reverts. Despite repeated warnings to stop, he continued.
Yet another editor, who likes to pretend he's an administrator, agreed with that user, and refused to do anything about the incessant revisions.
I was looking for a way to stop this, since the friends of the abuser did nothing to stop him. I discovered WP's three revert rule, which states that one must give the abuser fair warning by posting such on their user page.
To be fair, I posted on the article's discussion page (now archived) that that is what I intended to do if the abuser didn't stop.
Literally two minutes later, I was served with warnings by the faux administrator (Shoesss) and by one of the abuser's friends (neither of whom had done anything to stop the incessant reverts); I then got the notice that the page was being protected from edits. You placed that on my user page.
Since that IS what I wanted, and it seemed the only way to stop the abuser, I had no issue with your posting of that message. But when I went back to the article, and looked at the pages of other editors, it seems only I was served!
Since I was the one who was trying to stop the abuser - without help from the faux admin or the abuser's friends - I'm just curious as to why I was the one being served with the notice of the page protection.
That type of protection applies to anyone who'd try to edit the page until the hold on the article expires, correct?
If you could help me understand how this works, I'd appreciate it. (I've also learned to first DO what you're going to do on WP, i.e., notify admins or the like BEFORE you post to warn people of what you will do if article butchery doesn't stop. Apparently the game is that if you give people fair warning, and they know how the WP system works, they will report YOU first. See? I'm a quick study.)
Thanks for any light you can shed on this matter.

Hi Kafziel, I just saw an unpleasant incident (fortunately this is not about me!). It seems that one user falsely reported another user for alleged copyright violation, and the user who did not do anything wrong was blocked by administrator for two days. But maybe it is me who is wrong? Could you take a look and comment please? Please see [29], and [30]. Biophys 19:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sir,
You lambasted my third attempt to add significant data about KidCast and in particular "KidCast for Peace; Solutions for a Better World," that was birthed to celebrate the UN's 50th anniversary in SF. The entry I have been attempting to make; regarding the project has been rejected by you and others.
Can you please be constructive in your suggestions for what is the best way to add this significant event, that is verifiable and significant, in the annal's of web history, children's education and technology advancement?? Are you seeking someone other than me to make the entry? Is that what the problem is here, that I am writing about a project I produced? Please advise?
I have supplied published articles, links to online participants and other documentation, etc. What else is needed to having this episode of the birth of video broadcasting and educational entertianment on the web, be authenticated and posted on Wikipedia? I am asking for your recommendation for how to get this work reinstated here? Please be helpful rather than (what appears to be) cut throat. Thanks
Peter

From the
nomination page:
(self-nomination)This article is simply excellent. Excellent writing, interesting subject matter, improved during its Good Article trial, and eye-witnesses have left notes on the Talk page that talk about the article being so accurate, it's like they were living it all over again. Written in a NPOV and heavily cited with the highest of sources, it includes GFDL media, is wikified to the fullest, a fantastic "See Also" section, and looks at the story from every angle. --

Hi Kafziel, I am asking your assistance in clarifying the first sentance of the article for the country Canada. It does not follow the form of any other country, and furthermore defines canada as occupying most of "Northern North America". There has been a large and rather unproductive conversation on the talk page regarding this, and my position is that Northern North America is not a defined place and by citing it takes away from the encyclopedic nature of the article. It is also not listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_North_America_and_Northern_America article. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks, oo7jeep Oo7jeep 14:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I am aware of that, but in fairness, seeing as you are not interested in the issue and knew it was being discussed, you could have at least allowed a consensus to be reached before deciding to make the change yourself. — Dorvaq ( talk) 16:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
The point I agreed with was Corticopia's, which didn't really have anything to do with "ambiguity". The point was a simple matter of throwing the statement regarding Canada being the largest country in North America into the geography section, and replacing it with "occupies most of northern..." in the introduction, which in effect would situate Canada within North America. Corticopia felt from a reader's perspective that it was more important to situate Canada than to establish it as the largest country. No argument regarding ambiguity was made at least on my part. Anyhow, I must stress again that I really don't care what version we use just as long as both statements are used. I really have no issue with either. — Dorvaq ( talk) 13:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding this report: [35]
THe first one was a partial revert, the second one was a revert.
Wikipedia states: A revert, in this context, means undoing, in whole or in part, the actions of another editor or of other editors.
Thats why I reported him. Also, the reason we usually report the arbcom violations on the 3rr noticeboard is because we get a quicker response. We've all done it before and other admins were ok with it, including arbcom admins. Thanks, have a good day. Hajji Piruz 14:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Kafziel, you might remember this user from Georgia (country). After returning from the block Sosomk maintains the same attitude, revert warring and incivility. My [36] was declined. I asked for it to be reconsidered. Tamokk 01:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I removed your vote on Richardshusr's RFA because it's not yet live (and the candidate was worrying about it at WT:RFA). When it goes live, please place it again.-- Chaser - T 04:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your vote for support even if it was premature. The problem is that "jump the gun" votes are explicitly forbidden according to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/nominate. I guess the concern is that some candidates might "pack the ballot box" by lining up support before going live with an RFA. For this reason, I removed your vote along with a couple of other "premature" votes.
The RFA is now live so you are welcome to express your opinion now.

Hey Kafziel Talk, VK35 ( talk · contribs) has recently entered an extremely contentious situation involving the Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom murder article as a representative of the RFC cabal.

My question is, I just found out that VK35 ( talk · contribs) has just been indefinitely blocked see; [ [41]] First, how do I handle this situation? Second, how do I get another representative to get involved, since this article does desperately need a non-bias third party representative. Thanks for any and all help or suggestions. Shoessss talk

Hey there, I noticed that you changed {{ cereal box cover}} to {{ GFDL}} because you had taken the photograph. The problem with that is that your photograph is a derivative work (see Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ#Derivative works). So your photograph cannot be distributed without the permission of the box cover's copyright owner (unless, of course, it qualifies as fair use). It's kinda a muddled bit of copyright law, but it's always best to be on the safe side of copyright law. — Laura Scudder ☎ 03:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I would like to suggest that you lift the block. If you look at his contributions on the article's talk page you can see that he acted in good faith and was provoked by two editors who have a pattern of tag team edit warring and entrapping less experienced editors into 3RR violations. This is a form of harrasment which is not what the 3RR limitations was intended for. I would also ask you to keep an eye on User:Isarig's reports on the 3RR notice board. If his reports appear with great frequency, someone should ask why. ابو علي (Abu Ali) 20:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting that some form of punishment be taken to contain the following user: User:Myasuda. By his or her continual, unjustified and discriminate reversions of my edits, I believe that he or she has reached a level of vandalism. From what I gather, this user thinks that I am someone else, perhaps someone whom he or she has a vendetta against. I have asked him/her to stop this abuse. I have left a warning on his/her user page as well, which you will see at or near the bottom of his talk page. Yet, this problem from him (or her) persists even after I have left warnings. I am sorry that I am not more familiar with how to use Wikipedia to link you to the direct instances of his/her vandalism, but you can gather all that you should probably need just from looking at the edit history of the following page: NBA records. However, this is not the only place where Myasuda has reverted edits specifically made by me, but it is the best example.
This user has also demonstrated a significant amount of bias in favor of Wilt Chamberlain. For instance, I noticed that when a user tries to correct biased statements made in favor of Wilt Chamberlain (and apparently these original statements were written by Myasuda), Myasuda will continually revert the edits to his biased statements. He does not seem to understand how he is being biased. One example of this can be found from the edit history of the following page: Rebound (basketball). Thank you, and if you need to respond, perhaps it will be best to do it right here on your page. I will make sure to check your talk page for further communication on this issue. Thanks much for your help.-- Hoopsknowledge 00:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, since your advice on my talk page was helpful, I'm wondering if I could ask for it again. I've been making a strong effort to discuss the article and achieve consensus, however the article appears to be getting only more POV, and as for consensus -- there doesn't even seem to be consensus on the need for consensus. I'm unfamiliar with all the relevant mediation, RfC, etc procedures, but I'm feeling more and more certain that some kind of intervention needs to take place. Can you point me in the right direction? Eleland 22:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Im sorry, that was a mistake. Thanks for catching it early. If I had noticed I would have fixed it myself. Oh I know how it happened, I had edited over a previous version! Silly mistake on my part. Hajji Piruz 14:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
A 24 hour block for at least 14 reverts in an obvious war????? Do you think that's fair to legitimate editors like myself who had to refrain from editing the article because we were afraid of violating 3RR?? I think the anonymous vandal (after 14 reverts I think we can call the editor a vandal) deserves more. Orangemarlin 23:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
The 3RR rule allows, at the reasonable discretion of the editor who chooses to use the permitted three on limited occasions, three reverts. That's why it's called the 3RR rule. When another editor, such as the unregistered IP that was involved here, persistently reverts vastly beyond the permitted three, there's no requisite to insist that the first user should not exhaust the permitted three before getting out of the way. As to the block of ConfuciiusOrnis, I recognize he appears to have exceeded the permitted three, but respectfully request that Kafziel use administrative discretion and lift the block of ConfuciusOrnis under the present circumstances. Thanks. ... Kenosis 00:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
The rule does not convey an entitlement to revert three times each day, nor does it endorse reverting as an editing technique; rather, the rule is an "electric fence". Editors may still be blocked even if they have not made more than three reverts in any given 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. This particularly applies to editors who persistently make three reverts each day, or three reverts on each of a group of pages, in an apparent effort to game the system. Many administrators give less leniency to users who have been blocked before, and may block such users for any disruptive edit warring, even if they do not exceed three reverts on a page in 24 hours.
I know your talk page states that you will check pages where you have left messages, but as this is the first time we have conversed, I would just like to play it safe. I have read your post to me "A note about sources" carefully, and though I have tried to take its advice to heart, I have a few questions. Could you please review them on my talk page and help clear up my confusion? -- Qwerty7412369 17:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
You may want to see the CU results at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Wrestlinglover420. The answer "Possible" given there, I'm assuming, means that he is likely a sockpuppet of TheManWhoLaughs? If so, can you block him indefinitely? Lord Sesshomaru

Hey Kafziel, why did you block him so suddenly? I figured you just read Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/BlueShrek and decided to block him based on his edits? Lord Sesshomaru
Though I'm sure I've seen it before, where is the policy that says something in the likes of: "Breaking 3RR to revert obvious sockpuppets/meatpuppets is allowed."? If possible, I'll use this rule to prevent (another) temporary block for 3RR on my account. Lord Sesshomaru
What a shame, my request would be denied? Can I do it anyways (just in case) or do you have another plan? For how much longer does this have to go on until we can grant a range block? Lord Sesshomaru

(yes again, and so soon after vacation). If you have time I would like an admin's/second opinion on the recent external link additions (now two) on the page. Neither belong IMO, based on the guidelines. Frankly I have a hard time keeping "good faith" when someone comes to do nothing but add a link and complain when asked to defend it, so perhaps new eyes might keep it from turning into a revert war. -- Ari 02:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

As you may have noticed, and as I tagged it sometime back, Category:Orange County, New York has been getting rather large. Since it has been mostly entries I've created that have gotten it that way, I have been creating some local categories to diffuse entries into ( Category:Cornwall, New York and Category:Goshen, New York).
A couple of days User:Noroton created Category:Education in Orange County, New York and finally, by doing so, sort of forced my hand on posting a more comprehensive topic-based master subcategorization scheme to the category talk page, one that I had been thinking over for a while. So, as the other OCNY-based editor, I'd certainly appreciate it if you had the chance to look it over and tell me what you think. Daniel Case 20:50, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Trix box 2006.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Until (1 == 2) 19:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

hi, i noticed that you deleted the edible arrangements page back in february. i was wondering if there was some way it could be put back up?
Hey!
I created a wiki-page for a Finnish indie label If Society in February and you deleted it under the criteria of notability, which is kind of weird, since I would seriously challenge your ability to judge notability of a foreign indie label from the US. Granted, labels such as the above mentioned are notable usually mostly nationally, but since the majority of labels like these operate globally and in English, so notability in the English-speaking part of the world should not be a prerequisite.
As for national notability, this label has been operating almost 10 years, is one of the most important Finnish indies and just had an album open at #11 on the Finnish album chart this year, so I guess that would warrant at least some sort of notability, so please do leave the article be once I recreate it.
Thanks!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Forssto ( talk • contribs)

I noticed that you tagged User:Horlo's user page with sockpuppet warning. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any reasons warranting such an accusation. Could I ask you to provide explanations for your action on that user's talk page? Thanks in advance. Sincerely. -- Hillock65 05:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Darkseed.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure if you remember TyrusThomas4lyf who was indefinately banned for repeated personal attacks, sockpuppetry, and other assorted acts of vandalism. But, it looks as if he has returned under two new anon ip's: 75.34.40.191, 75.34.30.119, and 75.31.237.66. I started a case on his new sockpuppetry here: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (2nd), please feel free to review if and when you have a chance. I only bring this to your attention because you are familar with his acts of vandalism, and it seems he has returned to his old habbits. Thanks for your help! Zodiiak 00:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Blue_Sky_and_White_Sun.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 03:49, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Kafziel, in the interests of curtailing sock-puppetry activity to the extent possible, I was wondering if you could weigh in on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (6th) when you get a chance. As an admin with some knowledge of this case's background, I think you're ideally qualified to judge the merits of the case laid out. Thanks. Myasuda 14:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

that you recently dropped off. Finding it is a great way to start the day. I also started an article on E. M. Viquesney and I think that there is another picture there. I have a couple more stached in various places but decided not to start a gallery - though 139 (or whatever) of those fellows would get it well past platoon size. I guess it would need a centurian. In any case I have a lot of info and interest in memorials and was happy to run into that article. Nice chatting again. Carptrash 15:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
Since this article was created by you, I would like to know the reason why the word kayal being a Malayalam word was introduced in the article title. This is an English language wikipedia, if you really wanted to create a list of lakes, the title should have been List of lakes in India and not List of kayals in India. However I would like to know if a kayal is very different from a lake. Please clarify... Thanks -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me/ My edits 08:30, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) Hmm, if you take my word, you could have created an article List of lakes in India, create a section called Kerala in it and then add the list of lakes. I don't think any bigot or otherwise would have been able to question you on that. As long as we are sure about what we are doing, I dont think we should be worried about what fuss that would create. I am not attaching you with any conspiracy, so you need not lose sleep over it. You aren't but looking at the way Wikipedia is getting popular, I am sure it will dominate the world some day :) Thanks -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me/ My edits 09:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
