I reduced some stuff in my evidence. Tell me if it's enough. As you understand, while i was within 1000 words in the main argumentation, the necessity to answer to other users taken a lot of words, because many are the points debated. Regards. -- Stefanomencarelli 13:02, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I certainly respect your opinion. Please accept my apologies if you think it was unreasonable for me to request that he/she could still appeal. You do make a very good point that it's a privilage, not a right. I guess I acted as if it were a right. Sorry.-- U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 23:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
There is a certain sockpuppeteer that I can smell a mile away. Every time I do and remove their edits I have to go through a bunch of rigamarole with some admin who listens to his complaints. I've had the exact same conversation so many times I just tell people to read my user talk archives like this one where you commented. I'm going through it again. Instantnood has been running sockpuppets for two years now, and I'm tired of having to justify myself everytime he shows up and I remove the edits. Advice? SchmuckyTheCat
you blocked jeeny what for? She seemed upset at you. I hope that she isn't gone for good cuz of you. I just got back from a long wikibreak and me and her are chatting buddies. I will say that I will be sort of angry if she's off for good. Something like this has happened to her before and I really don't think she deserves it again. Seth71 17:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Also no offence, but a lot of people seem to support jeeny and they my have some ill feelings toward you. In fact they will, that's what happened last time. Seth71 18:01, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for answering. She says she won't be back, but she will. Me and someone else are e-mailing her. She's been blocked before so hopefully she'll be back once her times up and she cools down. Seth71 18:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
When did you block her. Seth71 19:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
See my response to you on my talk page. If you strongly object to me restoring your original block duration, I'm, willing to reconsider. For the moment, however, I do intend to unblock exactly 48-hours after the original block. Boating prohibited. Best, El_C 10:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Picaroon, there are three or more instances of 70.107.177.198 vandalizing talk and other pages including Requests for arbitration/Stefanomencarelli/Workshop. I have reverted three instances including a personal attack on another editor. Can you look into this? FWIW Bzuk 04:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC).

Hate to bother you about this, but what are we going to do about Dbachmann? 3RR report, page history [1].. He seems to not know how to use the talk page but insists on making extremely drastic pov changes that obviously lack consensus since people are reverting him, yet he keeps reverting. He did the same thing while edit warring against Jeeny. This was reported as well, but ignored, simply so he can do it again, while others who did much less were blocked [2]. Why do you honestly suppose that is? Also notable is his personal attacks of other site users, calling them "trolls" and threatening sanction against whoever doesn't agree with his tantrums. [3] In any event, something needs to be done because of course these policies should apply to everyone, but if one person is exempt, I don't see how anything will ultimately work and actually it only makes an already volatile situation more volatile.

Picaroon, as someone who is frequently involved in arbitration cases I was wondering if you could help with the application of WP:CON. The recent arbitration case I was involved with hasn't resolved the dispute and now some users are trying to claim consensus was reached on disputed material even when that was clearly not the case - otherwise why would there have been dispute resolution at all?
I'm not asking you to make a decision on the content dispute, just whether consensus can be reached through a majority of users expressing an opinion one way or another. For reference this was done through a RfC - a number of users left a comment each and then that was it. The dispute is on Talk:Mao: The Unknown Story. Your thoughts are welcome, thanks. John Smith's 19:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Giovanni reverted the Mao: The Unknown Story article here recently (more recently than a week ago). Then he made a partial revert here a little while ago. I have asked him to revert back, but I need to go to bed now so I thought I should let you know. If he does not revert by the time you receive this/in a reasonable period of time, please report or block him - I'm not quite sure how to "alert" the relevant people in regards to an arbitration vio. John Smith's 00:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'd gladly self revert but it may be impractical now since there have been other edits since my last edit. Thanks for the warning. I think John Smith needs an equal warning since he did the same thing, before I did, and he seems to be under the impression that doing partial reverts, if he combines them with making other changes, doesn't count as a revert. Of course he is wrong about that as that also counts. Giovanni33 18:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I fully believe you that you did not intend to revert twice, and if you understand that you in fact did (even accidentally) I don't think we have an issue anymore. Picaroon warned Gio and does not seem inclined to go any further so I think we should just drop the issue unless Picaroon has anything to add. You'll both have to be more careful in the future.-- Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 23:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Feel free to archive it; it looks pretty clear at this point. Everyking 03:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
You should clean the CSD there, I recently filled it with main page templates which were mass-copied from the English Wikipedia. -- Prince Kassad 16:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Will you please stop undoing my moves? You don't own the articles in Wikipedia. First of all, "Kano" doesn't really commonly refer to the city in Nigeria. It isn't the common usage of that word. And just because you enjoy Nigeria articles doesn't mean making them the primary page for that title. And the people who criticized me are wrong. Only 2 of them were right and were civil. But you, you just don't become civil enough with your responses like this, which is bad and it means you don't deserve to be a admin if you continue being uncivil. -- Louis Alberto Guel 00:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Let me make this more clear...
Leave page Kano as a disambiguation page.
And you're still being rude. You're an admin, not a "angry person".
And the city Kano isn't well known as the MK character. So I suggest you please stop reverting my moves. -- Louis Alberto Guel 02:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I know what he is talking about, two. He is completely wrong and untrustful. And you don't tell what people should do, Picaroon. And I'm not saying that Nigeria is not that notable. I know what is Nigeria. All I am saying is that the MK character is notable as the city, as adults also know Kano (Mortal Kombat). So you mean you don't know who is Kano (Mortal Kombat)? And by the way, I do know about West Africa. Seriously Picaroon, you don't make a good admin. -- Louis Alberto Guel 23:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I got a message from someone named tiptoey or something like that on my talk page. It said that some people are talking about me. I have assumed it's about jeeny. Could you maybe see what it's about for me. Seth71 16:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Stop talking about me! ;p I hate all this attention. BTW, thanks Picaroon. :) (I have no ill feelings towards you) ~ Jeeny (talk) 20:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for handling these vandals (i.e. on the Nigerian main page), and also for creating a page for the new speaker.
Editors recognize that the Arbitrators do not have time to follow, in real time, all of the diffs on all of the pages of all of the arbitration cases. Editors recognize that questions that they would like to ask the Arbitrators would usually get no response, or a much delayed response, if asked in one of the several talk pages of the arbitration. In response to this, many editors will message Arbitrators directly on their talk pages, which garners a much faster response.
The problem with doing so is that, consequently, discussion relevant to the Arbitration is split from the remainder of the discussion. Those who haven't watchlisted Arbitrators' talk pages might not even be aware of the communication. I think that this is problematic, but I would like to suggest a solution.
I believe that a Question and Answer Page (by whatever title is appropriate) would be a useful addition to Arbitration. There, users could ask questions, and arbitrators could reply as needed. This resolves the current problems: it provides a clean space that arbitrators can readily keep track without getting lost in tens or hundreds of daily diffs, it allows users a place to ask a question and reasonably expect that an Arbitrator will see it, and it keeps all of the discussion within the Arbitration, instead of allowing it to get scattered across Userspace where some participants might not see it.
If you think this is reasonable, would it be possible to add it to the current Science Apologist and Martinphi Arbitration that is currently ongoing? Thank you for your consideration. Note: I am canvassing all active arbitrators on this issue because I feel that this is a neutral suggestion. Ante lan talk 06:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I was interested in your comment there. Sorry if you feel I was being policy-wonkish, but I started this with the intention of "going by the book". My hope would be that if we get wider input to this case we can spread the load of dealing with this abusive user away from User:Akradecki. I am relatively inexperienced in this area, so please feel free to make any suggestions as to how we can best deal with the matter. Best wishes, -- John 19:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Needs blocking also. Is Dorftrottel avoiding his block: User_talk:Dorftrottel#Blocked. User:Veesicle 20:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
To answer your question, no it wasn't ever in doubt. When the latest incarnation popped up, John and I discussed asking for a checkuser, because he somewhat fit the pattern, but to that point his edits were only mildly inappropriate. Since there had never been a formal sock report filed on this situation, John thought it would be a good idea to go "by the book" and have a report on record before requesting the checkuser. He started the report, I filled in the data that I'd been collecting throughout this incident. Events took their own course in the meantime, and the latest sock got indef blocked by another admin, so the need for a checkuser at the moment became moot. Emphasis on "for the moment". This person is clearly having too much fun causing havoc to go away anytime soon, so the report on-record might be of benefit in the future. AKRadecki Speaketh 23:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

This is just a bunch of admin who have nothing better to do. Where's the disruption, the reason for blocking?
I've just learned that you are on a spree to block Alaska Airlines employees, none of whom were editing with each other (which is what a sock is). Identifying that the editors are from the same city is just harrassment. AS 003 19:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

The notice is not only for Canadians or those who observe Remembrance Day, but to remind people about the wars (doesn't really matter which one or which side) and the people who fought in them, who live through them, and who suffered because of them....I am trying to be as ambiguous as possible with this notices, which means that anyone could see it differently...some people might see it as a reminder of how Canada "became" a nation in WWI, or of how many people died in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, or of the attack at Pearl Harbor, or of the Holocaust, or of the killings in Darfur, or of the Rwandan Genocide, or of the Nanking Massacre....its up to those who receive the message to define what it is a reminder of...but if you choose to have it removed from your user talk page thats fine with me. nat Alo!

Try writing a NPOV BLP-compliant version, or take it to deletion review. In the closure, I said it may just meet WP:N, but the whole piece was an attack piece in its nature. Where was the balanced coverage expected in an encyclopedia article rather than a news report where scandal sells? Where were the positive aspects of the place? If it's your assertion there are none, better get a source for that. Carlossuarez46 17:48, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the update on the arbitration. Who do I ask for clarification about the meaning of the instruction? My concern is that the other party may take this instruction as a license to own articles; do I need to avoid any article he edits, and stop editing whatever articles I edit if he edits them too? csloat 06:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, it was an obvious edit to make. Nobody can have any quarrel with the actual edit, but having me make it, of course ... Smallbones 03:44, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I note that you have deleted the link to http://fallingrain.com/world from the Ajaokuta page. This is a pity, since FallingRain shows things not so clearly showing on other Internet mapping programs such as topography and contours, airports and railways, and small and large thumbnail sketches to help you navigate.
FallingRain Maps are accessable by name of town rather than by longitude and latitude, which means that it does not appear to be accessible from the {{
Coor}}
link. It would be helpful if someone could solve this missing link.
It has to be said that the railways at Ajaokuta do not appear to be on any map, because it has not caught up with recent changes. However, that is the exception.
Please reconsider your deletion.

Hi, Picaroon. The discussion on the Mao: The Unknown Story article died down after some issues were resolved, but the matter of the external link wasn't resolved. Giovanni then went away for about a week, so, given he didn't answer any of my points (or indeed any of Folic Acid's in a proper fashion), I removed the link. He then came back just to say "I'm sort of on wikibreak" so it would take him time to get back to me. Yet he conveniently came back to revert the page in a matter of hours.
I feel Giovanni is trying to avoid the matter because he has a revert advantage and hopes that I'll get bored - or he just doesn't care because he can keep the link in by reverting me once a week. What can I do? He's shown that he won't back down in discussion over this particular link despite the fact the points I raised were pretty conclusive, mediation didn't work and arbitration doesn't resolve content disputes. So what is there left to do? I even left a message on the book/literature project but no one seems interested. Please leave your response on my talk page. John Smith's 22:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Nice to meet you, finally! I've been seeing you on Nigeria-related articles for quite some time now. I think that we've run into each other on Talk:Nigerian All Peoples Party before.
I don't know of any real pidgin words referring to sports in general; there are sports analogies in pidgin all the time (e.g., "who wetin go win de prize" etc) and of course people like to praise the Super Eagles as a way of displaying patriotism, but the closest that I can think of to what you want are Yoruba and Igbo words that are used for games in general, sporting or of any other variety.
Sorry that I couldn't offer more, but I'm not sure that any real pidgin term exists in modern usage, at least not in the Lagos or Kano areas. Anywhere else in the country, I can't speak for.
I wish that I had more time to devote to the language articles. I tried working on Nigerian music articles about a year ago but could find very little good info that was from a properly reliable source. There are plenty of podcasts, free websites, and blogs that describe the history of Naija hip hop, for instance, but none of them are reliable sources and I haven't been able to find any books on the subject. I can keep hoping that Newswatch prints something, I guess.
Nice to meet you, again! Heather 01:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I'm sorry! I completely forgot to thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page a couple days ago. :) Anyway, thanks! Glass Cobra 05:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry I had to do this, but I'd like to report Giovanni for intimidation and false revert parole warnings. He challenged me to undo this edit on my talk page and the article discussion page, claiming it was a reversion. He complained that this edit was also a reversion.
I responded that my edit on the 14th November was not a reversion at all - it was a clarification. User:Cripipper had made a point on 7th November about a supposed abscence of any public response to criticism of the book. I provided fresh material that updated it to what was correct. If Cripipper had objected and changed it further, another edit by myself probably would have counted as a revert. But he agreed with it. Revert parole is designed to stop edit warring, not working out problems between users. As I have said before, if we hold to Giovanni's logic then every edit on wikipedia is a revert. That is complete nonsense.
I'd ask that you take Giovanni in hand and stop him from making warnings like this. I see them as a means of intimidating and controlling the actions of other users. I don't even think my edit today was a revert, as I was merely updating the section to conform with that on the main article. How is that a revert and what have I reverted to? Giovanni never explains any of that, just tries to bully people to get his way. Clearly that is very much against the spirit of Wikipedia and a poor way to interact with other users. John Smith's 10:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I have filed a complaint against Giovanni on the page for making a second revert and throwing out the consensus reached on Mao: The Unknown Story between myself, him and BigTimePeace. I'm sure he will claim it's a different page, but the section on Jung Chang has always been closely linked. He's now trying to change it arbitrarily because BigTimePeace has gone on wikibreak.

Thank you for clarifying the IP here. I'm too familiar with him and easily understand his style and ips. Actually, i'm not reverting his edits all the time, i only revert if he puts unsourced statements or irrelevant references to unsourced statements. That's the case in Turko-Persian tradition. I'm working on that article for a very long time, trying to improve its status to good article candidate. Regards. E104421 ( talk) 12:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh my God, it is the same as in German wikipedia. (I followed the link of 82.83/Tajik as I often do to protect Wikipedia from nationalistic falsifications or violations of copyrights by
User:Tajik (see
[19] or
[20]) and so I found this page) If
User:Tajik a.k.a.
de:Benutzer:Phoenix2 is really a medical student, I think, he strictly must medicate at first himself.
It is the same madhouse-style as in German wikipedia. (I am mostly at German wikipedia not so much here in English.) I have nothing to do with Michael Postmann. It is almost always lies by Tajik to discredit the others to be free to make the edits that moslty are forged, selective citations and copyright violations. The only aim is to make the Turkic or Turkish identity as not existent. This is what Persian nationalists have to do to declare Central Asian history "free of Turks" and consequently "Persian dominated".
In German wikipedia the block log of Tajik/Phoenix2 is full because of lies and verbal slanders (see
here), he also made disruptive use of sock puppet (see his most commonly known sock puppet
de:Benutzer:Christoffel whom he did not need anymore in the last time period because his main combatant (Michael Postmann) has been blocked because of Phoenix' falsified messages. After the Postmann-block Tajik could conveniently falsify the Turkic central asian history so he did not need Christoffel anymore. But in the last time period other users in German wp has discovered his falsifying character of articles)
Finally, also in German wikipedia he has been warned that he will be blocked indefinitely if he does not change his (madhouse-like) style.
His sentence German admins have confirmed this (that
de:Benutzer:Tajik would not be his sock puppet) is again a falsification. German admins have confirmed nothing. He does not write often as Tajik in German WP why should the admins confirm anything? and where is the diff link to prove this allegation? (It is the same as in German WP: 95% of the unsourced allegations of Tajik/82.83./Phoenix2 are lies to discredit his "enemies".) It is the opposite in German WP: Actually the German admins are thinking about indefinitely blocking him.

I'm wondering if there isn't something going on with the targeting of editors who've signed on to the Dbachmann RfC. I haven't been following the Jeeny thing, so I honestly don't know the issues involved. But I do know I seemingly was targeted the moment I started talking about taking action against Bachmann and Moreschi's Arb Com bid. It seems the phony banning of me from Afrocentrism and the one-year block -- both now dead -- really set Jeeny off. But was she deliberately provoked? What's your take on all this?

Hello again. Please, Picaroon, you know the context about Catalonia's RFAR. You know the Evidences, the Remedies, and now there are other movements ( [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39]). I got a break to relax, because I was in the vivacissimo. I thought Dúnadan was talking me about an approach, but now I see just they are playing. Now I'm back and this landscape makes me think about forgetting the Wikipedia. Please, can you trace if there is harassment, disruption, bad faith in those attitudes? I've felt it since my first day. And you know, I was blocked. It works (I'm still guilty: there was no checkuser).
I'm afraid to edit any Catalonia-related article. Perhaps I'm wrong, but the fact is that their attitude works: I feel intimidated. I'm sure the sockpuppet (me) is pending, the same as they have pending business with Maurice27 and Physchim62. And I get very very angry. There was no checkuser, so I'm fuc*ed ("strong reasons" floating around). Because it's obvious they want their "justice", that "justice" that the ArbCom denied. Please, I ask you for your opinion. Thanks and regards. -- Owdki talk 08:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I consider making insulting and provocative remarks towards fellow Wikipedians, while in a public discussion on a policy, to be trolling. We are here to write articles and policies, and to politely and respectfully discuss them. Attacking each other contributes to a foul atmosphere, and is counterproductive. I hope this helps.

Hi, Picaroon. Can you please tell me at what stage in the arbitration process the "Motions and requests by the parties" are responded to? Thanks, Xenophrenic 15:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I would like to apologise for my intemperate comments during the Melsaran affair. I accept that I should have expressed myself more civilly, and should have waited for the ArbCom to explain themselves rather than jumping to conclusions and condemning them. I can honestly say that I regret my reaction.
In my defence, I would like to reiterate that I did not use the admin tools in any way in relation to the Melsaran affair. I am completely aware that it would be a very bad idea to wheel-war with ArbCom, and I can honestly say that I would never do so.
For what it's worth, I genuinely don't dislike the ArbCom. I respect the fact that they have to make tough decisions, and I understand that sometimes these decisions must be made in secret. It is true that I have a natural aversion to authority and secrecy; this is part of my character. But in future I will do my best to treat the arbitrators with more respect and to assume good faith on their part.
I served this community for seven months as an administrator, with very little criticism. I believe that I can continue to help Wikipedia by serving as an administrator. I ask you to look at the beneficial contributions I've made to the encyclopedia; I believe that the good I can do outweighs the problems with my somewhat combative nature.
Please give me a second chance. Walton One 13:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

In reverting what I thought was vandalism to Jeeny's page, I saw your name in the edit summary, saying that you could confirm that the name linked in this subject head is an alternate account of hers. Is this correct? As someone who has been mentoring Jeeny, I would be both surprised and disappointed if this was accurate, especially given the edit summaries that have been used. Please let me know if you can shed any light on this situation. Jeffpw ( talk) 09:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

That wiki is edited just by the administrator, have you tried to edit that wiki site before you decided it can by edited by everybody? So if you cant edit nigerian.name, please revert the entries back with the contributions. Thank you.
No apparent editorial oversight?.... like "apparently everybody can edit that place".....the fact that vandalism is fighted by only selected editors contributions its the best prove that the place is serious and reliable ( if you want compare reliable and unreliable you can check onlinenigeria.com´s names section and see rubbish)..... and yes, the administrator is an authority on nigerian naming and have his own sources, thats why he´s devoted to built the reference for nigerian names.

Hi Picaroon, I've seen you around a lot but we've never really met. Hi! I think you do a lot of good work. I've been fishing around looking for some article projects for the New Year. I was thinking that Olaudah Equiano might be fun. I've noticed that you watch the page and presumably have an interest? Wondered if you'd be interested in a collaboration of sorts on it? I have a couple books about him from college, and I figure if I can find one or two other editors and each get one or two more books, we could really get the article into shape. Olaudah would be a really great article, in my opinion, to get to featured status. If you'd be interested let me know... if not, no biggie. Cheers! -- JayHenry ( talk) 05:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Picaroon, I apologise in advance for awakening old ghosts. The issues and discrepancies that developed into the Catalonia RfA are seeping in to related articles, and at least one of the editors involved in that dispute (Boynamedsue) is now trying to force his point of view onto the Catalan language and Països Catalans (Catalan countries) pages. I've reverted his edits ( Catalan language diff — Països Catalans diff) but he's come back with a personal attack on my talk page ("Are you drunk or just naturally bad mannered?") and reinstated his changes. I really don't want to get into a lengthy discussion on why his opinions are biased, much less an edit war: do you have any suggestions? Thank you, and happy holidays. ↔ Dennywuh ( talk) 18:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Is it actually an island in Lagos or just a name? The article is not clear on that. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:29, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Victoria Island is/was an Island. It was orignally separated from the Lekki Peninsula by swamps which were filled in by the colonial government. This activity continued under successive state governments, so that there is a significant land bridge between Victoria Island and Lekki Peninsula. This area was referred to as Victoria Island Annex and Maroko. Much of the Maroko area is now referred to as "Oniru Estate" after the Oniru ruling family.

I sincerely doubt his name is "Charles Chukwuma Soludo". Do you have any evidence to support this?
Even his CBN bio page refers to him as "Prof. Chukwuma C. Soludo".
I expect the original entry you removed (i.e. Chukwuma "Charles" C. Soludo) is much closer to the truth.
Pdfpdf (
talk)
09:55, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
My rationale is that I assume that "Charles" is the anglicisation of "Chukwuma", so "Charles Charles Soludo" is a bit unusual, and hence, unlikely. That's why I said: "I expect Chukwuma "Charles" C. Soludo is closer to the truth." However, parents have been known to give worse names to their children, so I guess it's possible ...
(I'd be more comfortable with one of "Charles C. Soludo", "Chukwuma C. Soludo" or Chukwuma "Charles" C. Soludo, but when it comes down to it, my comfort in this matter isn't really a very high priority!)

There is a certain sockpuppeteer that I can smell a mile away. Every time I do and remove their edits I have to go through a bunch of rigamarole with some admin who listens to his complaints. I've had the exact same conversation so many times I just tell people to read my user talk archives like this one where you commented. I'm going through it again. Instantnood has been running sockpuppets for two years now, and I'm tired of having to justify myself everytime he shows up and I remove the edits. Advice? SchmuckyTheCat
you blocked jeeny what for? She seemed upset at you. I hope that she isn't gone for good cuz of you. I just got back from a long wikibreak and me and her are chatting buddies. I will say that I will be sort of angry if she's off for good. Something like this has happened to her before and I really don't think she deserves it again. Seth71 17:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Also no offence, but a lot of people seem to support jeeny and they my have some ill feelings toward you. In fact they will, that's what happened last time. Seth71 18:01, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for answering. She says she won't be back, but she will. Me and someone else are e-mailing her. She's been blocked before so hopefully she'll be back once her times up and she cools down. Seth71 18:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
When did you block her. Seth71 19:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
See my response to you on my talk page. If you strongly object to me restoring your original block duration, I'm, willing to reconsider. For the moment, however, I do intend to unblock exactly 48-hours after the original block. Boating prohibited. Best, El_C 10:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

— Wknight94 ( talk) 14:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Hate to bother you about this, but what are we going to do about Dbachmann? 3RR report, page history [1].. He seems to not know how to use the talk page but insists on making extremely drastic pov changes that obviously lack consensus since people are reverting him, yet he keeps reverting. He did the same thing while edit warring against Jeeny. This was reported as well, but ignored, simply so he can do it again, while others who did much less were blocked [2]. Why do you honestly suppose that is? Also notable is his personal attacks of other site users, calling them "trolls" and threatening sanction against whoever doesn't agree with his tantrums. [3] In any event, something needs to be done because of course these policies should apply to everyone, but if one person is exempt, I don't see how anything will ultimately work and actually it only makes an already volatile situation more volatile.

Picaroon, as someone who is frequently involved in arbitration cases I was wondering if you could help with the application of WP:CON. The recent arbitration case I was involved with hasn't resolved the dispute and now some users are trying to claim consensus was reached on disputed material even when that was clearly not the case - otherwise why would there have been dispute resolution at all?
I'm not asking you to make a decision on the content dispute, just whether consensus can be reached through a majority of users expressing an opinion one way or another. For reference this was done through a RfC - a number of users left a comment each and then that was it. The dispute is on Talk:Mao: The Unknown Story. Your thoughts are welcome, thanks. John Smith's 19:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Giovanni reverted the Mao: The Unknown Story article here recently (more recently than a week ago). Then he made a partial revert here a little while ago. I have asked him to revert back, but I need to go to bed now so I thought I should let you know. If he does not revert by the time you receive this/in a reasonable period of time, please report or block him - I'm not quite sure how to "alert" the relevant people in regards to an arbitration vio. John Smith's 00:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'd gladly self revert but it may be impractical now since there have been other edits since my last edit. Thanks for the warning. I think John Smith needs an equal warning since he did the same thing, before I did, and he seems to be under the impression that doing partial reverts, if he combines them with making other changes, doesn't count as a revert. Of course he is wrong about that as that also counts. Giovanni33 18:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I fully believe you that you did not intend to revert twice, and if you understand that you in fact did (even accidentally) I don't think we have an issue anymore. Picaroon warned Gio and does not seem inclined to go any further so I think we should just drop the issue unless Picaroon has anything to add. You'll both have to be more careful in the future.-- Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 23:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

You should clean the CSD there, I recently filled it with main page templates which were mass-copied from the English Wikipedia. -- Prince Kassad 16:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Will you please stop undoing my moves? You don't own the articles in Wikipedia. First of all, "Kano" doesn't really commonly refer to the city in Nigeria. It isn't the common usage of that word. And just because you enjoy Nigeria articles doesn't mean making them the primary page for that title. And the people who criticized me are wrong. Only 2 of them were right and were civil. But you, you just don't become civil enough with your responses like this, which is bad and it means you don't deserve to be a admin if you continue being uncivil. -- Louis Alberto Guel 00:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Let me make this more clear...
Leave page Kano as a disambiguation page.
And you're still being rude. You're an admin, not a "angry person".
And the city Kano isn't well known as the MK character. So I suggest you please stop reverting my moves. -- Louis Alberto Guel 02:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I know what he is talking about, two. He is completely wrong and untrustful. And you don't tell what people should do, Picaroon. And I'm not saying that Nigeria is not that notable. I know what is Nigeria. All I am saying is that the MK character is notable as the city, as adults also know Kano (Mortal Kombat). So you mean you don't know who is Kano (Mortal Kombat)? And by the way, I do know about West Africa. Seriously Picaroon, you don't make a good admin. -- Louis Alberto Guel 23:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I got a message from someone named tiptoey or something like that on my talk page. It said that some people are talking about me. I have assumed it's about jeeny. Could you maybe see what it's about for me. Seth71 16:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Stop talking about me! ;p I hate all this attention. BTW, thanks Picaroon. :) (I have no ill feelings towards you) ~ Jeeny (talk) 20:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for handling these vandals (i.e. on the Nigerian main page), and also for creating a page for the new speaker.
Editors recognize that the Arbitrators do not have time to follow, in real time, all of the diffs on all of the pages of all of the arbitration cases. Editors recognize that questions that they would like to ask the Arbitrators would usually get no response, or a much delayed response, if asked in one of the several talk pages of the arbitration. In response to this, many editors will message Arbitrators directly on their talk pages, which garners a much faster response.
The problem with doing so is that, consequently, discussion relevant to the Arbitration is split from the remainder of the discussion. Those who haven't watchlisted Arbitrators' talk pages might not even be aware of the communication. I think that this is problematic, but I would like to suggest a solution.
I believe that a Question and Answer Page (by whatever title is appropriate) would be a useful addition to Arbitration. There, users could ask questions, and arbitrators could reply as needed. This resolves the current problems: it provides a clean space that arbitrators can readily keep track without getting lost in tens or hundreds of daily diffs, it allows users a place to ask a question and reasonably expect that an Arbitrator will see it, and it keeps all of the discussion within the Arbitration, instead of allowing it to get scattered across Userspace where some participants might not see it.
If you think this is reasonable, would it be possible to add it to the current Science Apologist and Martinphi Arbitration that is currently ongoing? Thank you for your consideration. Note: I am canvassing all active arbitrators on this issue because I feel that this is a neutral suggestion. Ante lan talk 06:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I was interested in your comment there. Sorry if you feel I was being policy-wonkish, but I started this with the intention of "going by the book". My hope would be that if we get wider input to this case we can spread the load of dealing with this abusive user away from User:Akradecki. I am relatively inexperienced in this area, so please feel free to make any suggestions as to how we can best deal with the matter. Best wishes, -- John 19:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Needs blocking also. Is Dorftrottel avoiding his block: User_talk:Dorftrottel#Blocked. User:Veesicle 20:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
To answer your question, no it wasn't ever in doubt. When the latest incarnation popped up, John and I discussed asking for a checkuser, because he somewhat fit the pattern, but to that point his edits were only mildly inappropriate. Since there had never been a formal sock report filed on this situation, John thought it would be a good idea to go "by the book" and have a report on record before requesting the checkuser. He started the report, I filled in the data that I'd been collecting throughout this incident. Events took their own course in the meantime, and the latest sock got indef blocked by another admin, so the need for a checkuser at the moment became moot. Emphasis on "for the moment". This person is clearly having too much fun causing havoc to go away anytime soon, so the report on-record might be of benefit in the future. AKRadecki Speaketh 23:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

This is just a bunch of admin who have nothing better to do. Where's the disruption, the reason for blocking?
I've just learned that you are on a spree to block Alaska Airlines employees, none of whom were editing with each other (which is what a sock is). Identifying that the editors are from the same city is just harrassment. AS 003 19:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there Picaroon, I've started up a thread on AN about a possible unblock of Dorftrottel, due to him no longer being drunk - feel free to comment. Take care, Ryan Postlethwaite 18:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
The notice is not only for Canadians or those who observe Remembrance Day, but to remind people about the wars (doesn't really matter which one or which side) and the people who fought in them, who live through them, and who suffered because of them....I am trying to be as ambiguous as possible with this notices, which means that anyone could see it differently...some people might see it as a reminder of how Canada "became" a nation in WWI, or of how many people died in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, or of the attack at Pearl Harbor, or of the Holocaust, or of the killings in Darfur, or of the Rwandan Genocide, or of the Nanking Massacre....its up to those who receive the message to define what it is a reminder of...but if you choose to have it removed from your user talk page thats fine with me. nat Alo! Salut! Sunt eu, un haiduc?!?! 20:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Try writing a NPOV BLP-compliant version, or take it to deletion review. In the closure, I said it may just meet WP:N, but the whole piece was an attack piece in its nature. Where was the balanced coverage expected in an encyclopedia article rather than a news report where scandal sells? Where were the positive aspects of the place? If it's your assertion there are none, better get a source for that. Carlossuarez46 17:48, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the update on the arbitration. Who do I ask for clarification about the meaning of the instruction? My concern is that the other party may take this instruction as a license to own articles; do I need to avoid any article he edits, and stop editing whatever articles I edit if he edits them too? csloat 06:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, it was an obvious edit to make. Nobody can have any quarrel with the actual edit, but having me make it, of course ... Smallbones 03:44, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I note that you have deleted the link to http://fallingrain.com/world from the Ajaokuta page. This is a pity, since FallingRain shows things not so clearly showing on other Internet mapping programs such as topography and contours, airports and railways, and small and large thumbnail sketches to help you navigate.
FallingRain Maps are accessable by name of town rather than by longitude and latitude, which means that it does not appear to be accessible from the {{
Coor}}
link. It would be helpful if someone could solve this missing link.
It has to be said that the railways at Ajaokuta do not appear to be on any map, because it has not caught up with recent changes. However, that is the exception.
Please reconsider your deletion.

Hi, Picaroon. The discussion on the Mao: The Unknown Story article died down after some issues were resolved, but the matter of the external link wasn't resolved. Giovanni then went away for about a week, so, given he didn't answer any of my points (or indeed any of Folic Acid's in a proper fashion), I removed the link. He then came back just to say "I'm sort of on wikibreak" so it would take him time to get back to me. Yet he conveniently came back to revert the page in a matter of hours.
I feel Giovanni is trying to avoid the matter because he has a revert advantage and hopes that I'll get bored - or he just doesn't care because he can keep the link in by reverting me once a week. What can I do? He's shown that he won't back down in discussion over this particular link despite the fact the points I raised were pretty conclusive, mediation didn't work and arbitration doesn't resolve content disputes. So what is there left to do? I even left a message on the book/literature project but no one seems interested. Please leave your response on my talk page. John Smith's 22:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Nice to meet you, finally! I've been seeing you on Nigeria-related articles for quite some time now. I think that we've run into each other on Talk:Nigerian All Peoples Party before.
I don't know of any real pidgin words referring to sports in general; there are sports analogies in pidgin all the time (e.g., "who wetin go win de prize" etc) and of course people like to praise the Super Eagles as a way of displaying patriotism, but the closest that I can think of to what you want are Yoruba and Igbo words that are used for games in general, sporting or of any other variety.
Sorry that I couldn't offer more, but I'm not sure that any real pidgin term exists in modern usage, at least not in the Lagos or Kano areas. Anywhere else in the country, I can't speak for.
I wish that I had more time to devote to the language articles. I tried working on Nigerian music articles about a year ago but could find very little good info that was from a properly reliable source. There are plenty of podcasts, free websites, and blogs that describe the history of Naija hip hop, for instance, but none of them are reliable sources and I haven't been able to find any books on the subject. I can keep hoping that Newswatch prints something, I guess.
Nice to meet you, again! Heather 01:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I'm sorry! I completely forgot to thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page a couple days ago. :) Anyway, thanks! Glass Cobra 05:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry I had to do this, but I'd like to report Giovanni for intimidation and false revert parole warnings. He challenged me to undo this edit on my talk page and the article discussion page, claiming it was a reversion. He complained that this edit was also a reversion.
I responded that my edit on the 14th November was not a reversion at all - it was a clarification. User:Cripipper had made a point on 7th November about a supposed abscence of any public response to criticism of the book. I provided fresh material that updated it to what was correct. If Cripipper had objected and changed it further, another edit by myself probably would have counted as a revert. But he agreed with it. Revert parole is designed to stop edit warring, not working out problems between users. As I have said before, if we hold to Giovanni's logic then every edit on wikipedia is a revert. That is complete nonsense.
I'd ask that you take Giovanni in hand and stop him from making warnings like this. I see them as a means of intimidating and controlling the actions of other users. I don't even think my edit today was a revert, as I was merely updating the section to conform with that on the main article. How is that a revert and what have I reverted to? Giovanni never explains any of that, just tries to bully people to get his way. Clearly that is very much against the spirit of Wikipedia and a poor way to interact with other users. John Smith's 10:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I have filed a complaint against Giovanni on the page for making a second revert and throwing out the consensus reached on Mao: The Unknown Story between myself, him and BigTimePeace. I'm sure he will claim it's a different page, but the section on Jung Chang has always been closely linked. He's now trying to change it arbitrarily because BigTimePeace has gone on wikibreak.

Thank you for clarifying the IP here. I'm too familiar with him and easily understand his style and ips. Actually, i'm not reverting his edits all the time, i only revert if he puts unsourced statements or irrelevant references to unsourced statements. That's the case in Turko-Persian tradition. I'm working on that article for a very long time, trying to improve its status to good article candidate. Regards. E104421 ( talk) 12:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Btw, User:Tajik, along with User:Beh-nam posted several spam-like messages on several users talk pages. As happened, [13], [14], [15], [16] [17], [18]. Regards. E104421 ( talk) 17:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh my God, it is the same as in German wikipedia. (I followed the link of 82.83/Tajik as I often do to protect Wikipedia from nationalistic falsifications or violations of copyrights by
User:Tajik (see
[19] or
[20]) and so I found this page) If
User:Tajik a.k.a.
de:Benutzer:Phoenix2 is really a medical student, I think, he strictly must medicate at first himself.
It is the same madhouse-style as in German wikipedia. (I am mostly at German wikipedia not so much here in English.) I have nothing to do with Michael Postmann. It is almost always lies by Tajik to discredit the others to be free to make the edits that moslty are forged, selective citations and copyright violations. The only aim is to make the Turkic or Turkish identity as not existent. This is what Persian nationalists have to do to declare Central Asian history "free of Turks" and consequently "Persian dominated".
In German wikipedia the block log of Tajik/Phoenix2 is full because of lies and verbal slanders (see
here), he also made disruptive use of sock puppet (see his most commonly known sock puppet
de:Benutzer:Christoffel whom he did not need anymore in the last time period because his main combatant (Michael Postmann) has been blocked because of Phoenix' falsified messages. After the Postmann-block Tajik could conveniently falsify the Turkic central asian history so he did not need Christoffel anymore. But in the last time period other users in German wp has discovered his falsifying character of articles)
Finally, also in German wikipedia he has been warned that he will be blocked indefinitely if he does not change his (madhouse-like) style.
His sentence German admins have confirmed this (that
de:Benutzer:Tajik would not be his sock puppet) is again a falsification. German admins have confirmed nothing. He does not write often as Tajik in German WP why should the admins confirm anything? and where is the diff link to prove this allegation? (It is the same as in German WP: 95% of the unsourced allegations of Tajik/82.83./Phoenix2 are lies to discredit his "enemies".) It is the opposite in German WP: Actually the German admins are thinking about indefinitely blocking him.

I'm wondering if there isn't something going on with the targeting of editors who've signed on to the Dbachmann RfC. I haven't been following the Jeeny thing, so I honestly don't know the issues involved. But I do know I seemingly was targeted the moment I started talking about taking action against Bachmann and Moreschi's Arb Com bid. It seems the phony banning of me from Afrocentrism and the one-year block -- both now dead -- really set Jeeny off. But was she deliberately provoked? What's your take on all this?
Oh. Love the Sumatra photo on your user page, but I had to return to comment on the photo on your talk page. That thing.

Hello again. Please, Picaroon, you know the context about Catalonia's RFAR. You know the Evidences, the Remedies, and now there are other movements ( [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39]). I got a break to relax, because I was in the vivacissimo. I thought Dúnadan was talking me about an approach, but now I see just they are playing. Now I'm back and this landscape makes me think about forgetting the Wikipedia. Please, can you trace if there is harassment, disruption, bad faith in those attitudes? I've felt it since my first day. And you know, I was blocked. It works (I'm still guilty: there was no checkuser).
I'm afraid to edit any Catalonia-related article. Perhaps I'm wrong, but the fact is that their attitude works: I feel intimidated. I'm sure the sockpuppet (me) is pending, the same as they have pending business with Maurice27 and Physchim62. And I get very very angry. There was no checkuser, so I'm fuc*ed ("strong reasons" floating around). Because it's obvious they want their "justice", that "justice" that the ArbCom denied. Please, I ask you for your opinion. Thanks and regards. -- Owdki talk 08:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I consider making insulting and provocative remarks towards fellow Wikipedians, while in a public discussion on a policy, to be trolling.

I would like to apologise for my intemperate comments during the Melsaran affair. I accept that I should have expressed myself more civilly, and should have waited for the ArbCom to explain themselves rather than jumping to conclusions and condemning them. I can honestly say that I regret my reaction.
In my defence, I would like to reiterate that I did not use the admin tools in any way in relation to the Melsaran affair. I am completely aware that it would be a very bad idea to wheel-war with ArbCom, and I can honestly say that I would never do so.
For what it's worth, I genuinely don't dislike the ArbCom. I respect the fact that they have to make tough decisions, and I understand that sometimes these decisions must be made in secret. It is true that I have a natural aversion to authority and secrecy; this is part of my character. But in future I will do my best to treat the arbitrators with more respect and to assume good faith on their part.
I served this community for seven months as an administrator, with very little criticism. I believe that I can continue to help Wikipedia by serving as an administrator. I ask you to look at the beneficial contributions I've made to the encyclopedia; I believe that the good I can do outweighs the problems with my somewhat combative nature.
Please give me a second chance. Walton One 13:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

That wiki is edited just by the administrator, have you tried to edit that wiki site before you decided it can by edited by everybody? So if you cant edit nigerian.name, please revert the entries back with the contributions. Thank you.
No apparent editorial oversight?.... like "apparently everybody can edit that place".....the fact that vandalism is fighted by only selected editors contributions its the best prove that the place is serious and reliable ( if you want compare reliable and unreliable you can check onlinenigeria.com´s names section and see rubbish)..... and yes, the administrator is an authority on nigerian naming and have his own sources, thats why he´s devoted to built the reference for nigerian names.

Hi Picaroon, I've seen you around a lot but we've never really met. Hi! I think you do a lot of good work. I've been fishing around looking for some article projects for the New Year. I was thinking that Olaudah Equiano might be fun. I've noticed that you watch the page and presumably have an interest? Wondered if you'd be interested in a collaboration of sorts on it? I have a couple books about him from college, and I figure if I can find one or two other editors and each get one or two more books, we could really get the article into shape. Olaudah would be a really great article, in my opinion, to get to featured status. If you'd be interested let me know... if not, no biggie. Cheers! -- JayHenry ( talk) 05:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Picaroon, I apologise in advance for awakening old ghosts. The issues and discrepancies that developed into the Catalonia RfA are seeping in to related articles, and at least one of the editors involved in that dispute (Boynamedsue) is now trying to force his point of view onto the Catalan language and Països Catalans (Catalan countries) pages. I've reverted his edits ( Catalan language diff — Països Catalans diff) but he's come back with a personal attack on my talk page ("Are you drunk or just naturally bad mannered?") and reinstated his changes. I really don't want to get into a lengthy discussion on why his opinions are biased, much less an edit war: do you have any suggestions?

Victoria Island is/was an Island. It was orignally separated from the Lekki Peninsula by swamps which were filled in by the colonial government. This activity continued under successive state governments, so that there is a significant land bridge between Victoria Island and Lekki Peninsula. This area was referred to as Victoria Island Annex and Maroko. Much of the Maroko area is now referred to as "Oniru Estate" after the Oniru ruling family.

But then I may have interpreted this incorrectly so correct me if I am wrong. Martintg ( talk) 20:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm not even gonna count on how many articles. "there is no such thing as Artsakh except armenian name of Azerbaijani region. It is clear attempt to legitimaze illegal entity" See here VartanM ( talk) 20:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I understand. I will reclose the AfD as no consensus. Thanks, Glass Cobra 23:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I sincerely doubt his name is "Charles Chukwuma Soludo". Do you have any evidence to support this?
Even his CBN bio page refers to him as "Prof. Chukwuma C. Soludo".
I expect the original entry you removed (i.e. Chukwuma "Charles" C. Soludo) is much closer to the truth.

My rationale is that I assume that "Charles" is the anglicisation of "Chukwuma", so "Charles Charles Soludo" is a bit unusual, and hence, unlikely. That's why I said: "I expect Chukwuma "Charles" C. Soludo is closer to the truth." However, parents have been known to give worse names to their children, so I guess it's possible ...
(I'd be more comfortable with one of "Charles C. Soludo", "Chukwuma C. Soludo" or Chukwuma "Charles" C. Soludo, but when it comes down to it, my comfort in this matter isn't really a very high priority!)

OK. I guess that's the best we can do with the current evidence.
So that resolves that one! (Two down; only one left?) Cheers,
