Now that I have everyones attention, I would like to make a point about respect. The procedure here at Wikipedia is to destroy and justify. Not a single person asks the author first, or tries to reach a consensus about a large change first, prior to undoing a lot of work. Do you people really understand the impact that this has on an author or someone who is trying to help clean up Wikipedia. You slap someone in the face, and then expect them to say thanks. SchuminWeb and Themeparkgc know that I posted my purpose and scope on my user page first, and they could have contacted me at any time about the changes that I made. I also made it clear that what they are doing is arbitrary and that the rules are not being applied evenly, especially in summer camp and amusement park articles. All of these articles are ads, and have no educational value whatsoever. Amusement park articles, like Adventureland_(Iowa), have surplus photos that should be deleted exactly as the Public Domain photos were deleted at Belvoir Terrace. Amusement park ride descriptions should be deleted exactly as the activities were deleted at Belvoir Terrace. This is absolute proof that SchuminWeb is targeting me, and vandalizing my work. The owners of Belvoir Terrace also contributed to the Wiki article, and SchuminWeb has vandalized their work as well. Make no mistake, Themeparkg will fight to the death to prevent any cleanup of amusement park articles from happening, since this is his hobby. A strict application of the rules would wipe out all amusement park, waterpark and summer camp articles, as they are nothing more than promotional ads. And they duplicate what is on the park website. And the photos are not educational. So, until you people get your act together, and show some respect for others, Wikipedia is not worth my time. Summer Vacation ( talk) 13:52, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

19:03, 14 March 2011 (UTC)It has become clear to me that you are unwilling to edit collaboratively on Wikipedia right now. Your refusal to listen to others, your certainty that you are right and a dozen other people are wrong, your battleground mentality, and your aggressive reaction to every single person trying to help make it clear that you and Wikipedia are not a good fit. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 19:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

I have had a few spare minutes to look around, and I found an author that User:SchuminWeb pissed off, and who left Wikipedia with an excellent explaination User:Alkivar. I say Bravo and Ditto for me. I then looked at the history of SchuminWeb, and I am amazed that you people let this nut-case run rampant at Wikipedia. This is so damn funny it makes you wonder if everyone running this show is another SchuminWeb. This guy pisses people off with edits that are clearly destructive to the person, if not the article. He is like a nagging wife who eventually gets her head blown off. I remember a teacher who used to do this to students, and they finally fired her sorry butt. Perhaps those of you who supported SchuminWeb should read his history. And then re-read the page at User:Alkivar. I understand the need for civility, but you may want to investigate both parties first, and not assume that the long term Wiki-Freak is always right. I offer no apology to anyone. If you support a nut-case, then you are just as guilty of the damage that he is doing. He deleted the article for Camp ASCCA, a camp for children with special needs, just to piss me off. And I noticed that he has been accused of stalking other authors, as well as leaving remarks on their user pages that intentionally pisses them off. This guy is out of control, and I have no doubt that other Wiki-Freaks support him because they have the same psychological profile. What more is there to say? BTW, CC3.0 is one of the options when uploading a photo, and anyone can migrate a CC30 photo, and does not have to be the author. Wiki has conflicting rules, standards and procedures. Prior to correcting someone, please try it yourself. Summer Vacation (talk) 00:01, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
OK, let me put it another way. SchuminWeb, acting on his own and without consensus, vandalized a tremendous amount of work that I was doing to clean up the mess of over categorized articles. You will notice that he posted a note of what he thought about my effort, then 2 hours later announced that he had undone everything. Not only did he make certain that I would not have enough time to state why it was important to clean up the categories (I am not logged on 24/7), he then rounded up support for his vandalism after the fact; instead of reaching a consensus with patience and deliberation. The point is not what he did, but how he did it. He has a history of inciting anger by his approach to editing, and a history of vandalism and stalking. So, how do you expect people to react to this person? Not one single administrator offered to help me stop SchuminWeb, who then went on to vandalize ALL of my work. He tries to cover his tracks by quoting wiki rules that are not applied evenly amongst other identical articles. For example, he has not edited other summer camp articles to eliminate the list of programs as he did with Camp ASCCA. He uploaded a photo of himself to commons, which is certainly not educational or of value to Wikipedia. He only vandalized and deleted MY articles. The proof is absolutely crystal clear. So the hatred for SchuminWeb becomes hatred for Wikipedia and its administrators for allowing him to continue, and the proof is in his history and in the excellent user page of another one of his victims at Alkivar. Please take a look at what he is doing, and try to understand how you would feel if he did this to you. If you rounded up all of the people who are pissed off at him you would have a lynch mob, and I have a feeling that he loves the conflict and attention. He has the psychological profile of someone who edits articles just to get a reaction, and someone who has a total lack of creativity. I have written two books, and I build articles instead of tearing down the work of others. Which one of us does Wikipedia want? I do what I can to rescue articles from deletion. He does his best to destroy what he doesn't like with petty attacks on the writing style of others. If you do not believe me, read his history. I try to make Wikipedia more user friendly and he makes it more confusing. I have 35 years experience building user-friendly computer systems, and am now retired from the computer consulting business. So, if I do not get support in stopping lunatics like this, who have been repeatedly scolded by others at Wikipedia, then I will certainly NOT contribute anything more to Wikipedia. Again, I ask everyone to look at his history and see what he is doing and HOW he is doing it. My anger and disappointment with a few Wikipedia administrators is justified, and needs no further explanation.

Request reason:
Yikes, how many times do I have to explain this. Contrary to what Floquenbeam stated, I was NOT blocked for continual disruptive editing. I changed the waterpark categories because it would result in a more user-friendly listing, simplify research, and encourage more cleanup of duplicate articles, and this was done in only one period of time, without any feedback from anyone. THEN, SchuminWeb vandalized my work. I did not revert what he did, nor did I knowingly engage in any disruptive editing. If 10 people get together and decide that they want 1.5 articles per category, then I will let it go. It is not important to me. What happened is that SchuminWeb then began stalking me and began vandalizing all of my work. He has done this before to others, and he will do it again. My editing is positive, creative and constructive. I was never disruptive. I was blocked because I got pissed off at SchuminWeb, and unlike others who have left Wikipedia because of SchuminWeb, I decided to fight back. That is why I was blocked. I have made a few mistakes along the way, as we all do. But my point here, and those of so many others, is the destructiveness in the criticism of authors by some editors and administrators. My intent is to improve Wikipedia by exposing people like SchuminWeb who are destructive instead of constructive, and who motivate people to leave in frustration. His vandalism and stalking of authors of articles absolutely fits the continual disruptive editing criteria. All that I did was respond to the abuse as best I could, but NEVER by attacking articles or the work of authors. Hence, there was absolutely no disruptive editing. If you want to punish a victim of abuse, then I truly think that Wikipedia has sunk to the lowest level possible. For example, instead of waiting for me to get an email authorizing a CC30 license allowing modification of photos, or possibly uploading alternative photos, your administrators deleted the photos and then deleted the article. That kind of destructive behavior violates the cooperative nature of Wikipedia, and is not civilized behavior. I objected to the HOW and not the WHAT. That is why I was blocked.
