New editor Yaniv256 started a discussion on Talk:Mizar system which he has transformed into an offputting mess for other editors, violating various guidelines in the process. This was explained in detail on his talk page but he dismissed the explanation out of hand. I then explained further and tried fixing the problems, but my changes were reverted (the second time without explanation) and my points dismissed. I know Yaniv256's a new editor need to AGF but the rate and nature of their edits makes them very difficult to deal with.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 01:49, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to review my case. The readers are advised that they are taking part in my execution of a Reality Change in the spirit of Asimov's End of Eternity. Yaniv256 ( talk) 05:29, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Please AGF and don't bite the newbies. I'm not a Mizar user but I have some familiarity with its subject area and with some comparable software, which is specialized. I've looked at some of Yaniv256's edits to the article and they appear well-intended and reasonably sane in terms of content, and though I haven't checked enough to make an overall assessment, the accusation of NHBE looks plain inappropriate to me. I'd like to welcome Yaniv256 to Wikipedia and invite him/her to join WP:Wikiproject Mathematics. Yaniv, the place to propose something like adding extensive Mizar links to existing math articles would be at the math wikiproject (specifically WT:WPM). I personally don't think adding tons of those links is a great idea but that's just me. In some cases where a formalization is really notable, like Gonthier's formalization of the four-color theorem, it's worth mentioning directly in the article rather than as an extlink, but I would say most routine formalizations are only of interest to formalization buffs who know where to find them. Also (e.g. in the Mizar article), rather than making 100's of tiny edits, it's better to do bigger chunks of work and write them out as single edits. You'll get used to all of this if you stay around. 67.117.146.199 ( talk) 07:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
The Gods of Wikipedia crated it blank. They wanted it free. They wanted the Great White to fill up with the war cries and laughter of children play. So, they made it in their image.
And they opened the gates and invited us in. And we came. And we liked it. And we liked it a lot. And they smiled upon us and appointed the most thoughtful and devoted to the role of admin and made them rule supreme.
And then they were done. And then joy and hope flowed from the Source and filled the Great White with the endless manifestations of what it is to human and good.
But across the river laid a peculiar land. The gods named it the Talk and left it as such. But we didn't like it. We didn't like it too much. We wanted a forum, as plain as can be. But they didn't listen and they didn't see.
And so my question is this: Are the Gods blind? Do they not see that the only thing that grows in the Talk is a forum? And malnourished and twisted at that. Are they deaf? Do they not hear the suffering cries of the admin. Laboring day-in-and-out, in-the-scorching-Great-White? Are they impotent, too powerless to rise a hand and apply a patch to a bleeding wound? Are they indifferent? Ravishing shamelessly in the free lunch bestowed? Too rich to care? Or are they mad? Possessed by a thought. Whispering in the night. You wait. You will see. No one knows what will be. Yaniv256 ( talk) 07:48, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

The editors on 2007–2012 global financial crisis have an RM that is stuck in Wikipedia:Requested moves#Backlog limbo for almost a week. The page is kind of a high profile one so some favoritism seems in order. I'm posting this request here following a referal from the teahouse. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 18:34, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
The following is addressed only at the 1,465 members of the admin class: What is wrong with you people? This is a clear consensus routine RM execution on a high profile page. You don't even bother to look? You sure seem to enjoy executing your powers in other cases, why not this one? No chance of block implies no fun?

Ok, lets start from the basics. Please read the following with long long pauses, in the voice of your father, if he loved you, or your mother, if she did. What, in your view, is the proper notion of duty? Does it mean anything at all? Where are your duties? Would it be common for a duty to be pleasant and win one many friends? Does one often stand to gain personally from fulfilling his duties? Who defines your duties? What would happen if you disregard your duty? And finally, since it is likely that people like Hitler and Stalin operated under a strong sense of duty, how do you make sure that you are not making similar errors when carrying out your duty? →Yaniv256 talk contribs 05:46, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

User:Yaniv256 has been canvasing here and here for what he claims is a move consensus in his pet RM. His efforts largely ignored, he has turned to an escalating pattern of disruptive talk page posting, here, here, here, here, here, here and especially here, here, here, here. Given this user past incidents, here and here, I believe a 24-hour block would allow him to cool down and due process to take its natural course. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 06:27, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Not to mention Fred, who continues to discuss irrelevant issues on the wrong section while we all await his word in the RM review.

Yaniv, this could interest you. Boris Tsirelson ( talk) 20:40, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Yaniv: I read your poetic expression of what Talk pages might aspire to in your piece The land of Talk. I hoped it would demonstrate a new form for discussion, one where some actual imagination might take place. The language seemed likely to provoke real reflection, because its meaning revealed itself quite differently from the usual infertile legalistic court-trial kind of language found on AN/I and described by WP documentation outlined in my essay WP:Editing environment. However, it seems that your effort got archived without understanding. I was sorry to see that. Brews ohare ( talk) 14:22, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
I strongly agree with the suggestion that you ask about Mizar system external links at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics, which is the right place to ask about making structural changes to many math articles, and include your pro/con tabulation. You might ask whether a template for the external links, or perhaps a modification to some infobox, would be most appropriate, and see if someone can help you create such a template or modification. Then, if people there agree that the links would be helpful, you can ask on WP:BOTREQ for help automating those additions. Good luck and welcome! I really liked your Pearsons-vs-regression R^2 answer on the Math Desk. 207.224.43.139 ( talk) 00:22, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Yaniv, sorry if this is a bit too bold, but I've moved the question you posted on the Teahouse questions page to the Teahouse talk page, as it's more of a comment for the Teahouse hosts than a question per se. Wikipedia talk:Teahouse is a place where we do a lot of meta-discussion ( Wikipedia talk:Teahouse/Host lounge is another), so it fits there pretty well, actually. Most of us have that page watchlisted, I believe, so I don't think it'll lose much visibility. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 20:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive comments at WP:ANI. You are not being "threat[ened]...for speaking [your] mind", you are being informed that your comments are uncivil (and also advised to read WP:FREESPEECH). Your concerns will be addressed if an when an admin who is familiar with the topic and/or who is available can get to them. Until then please remember that there is no deadline on Wikipedia and that the conduct of everyone involved in an AN/I discussion is scrutinized. Please allow things to happen naturally, with paitence and good faith, as continued disruption will result in blocking. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

One ping only 20:47, 19 August 2012 (UTC)The Bushranger is hiding that the true cause of the block was my last edit, which falls, as many of my edits and rants, squarely within Advocating amendments to policies or guidelines. This is not an appeal of my block as I, personally, am quite fine with it. It is you, the reader, who should contemplate if you are fine with it, and if this might not be a good time to act before that answer that is currently in your reach blows away. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 21:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Just to make sure that I am well understood. Unless someone reverts this block, I will have to recognize that what I have done was indeed disruptive, and will never, ever edit again. That will be my choice. You have a choice too. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 21:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

I must say, Bushranger, that I am curious to know if that reference you made in reverting my Five Pillars edit was cynical, and if so by how much.

You need to slow down, with your edits to policy and guideline pages. Your change to WP:AT is out of order for several reasons.
From the edit history of you user account, and the fact you have not declared that you have edited under other user names, I assume that you are new to Wikpedia. I suggest that until you are more familiar with how Wikipedia processes work, that you debate your points of view on the talk page, but wait until there is a clear consensus before making changes, as it a a fine line between being seen as enthusiastic and disruptive. -- PBS ( talk) 16:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I am puzzled by this comment "... And please try to avoid oneliners and over linking policy to experienced editors, as both are commonly seen as rude ..." [4], because according to your users edit history you have only been editing since 03:32 on 21 July 2012, or just over a month, and most editors would not consider an editor of one months experience to be an experienced editor. Have you edited under another user account or a long time using IP addresses? -- PBS ( talk) 17:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I made a few minor formatting changes, but otherwise the article looks great. Thank you! — Ruud 23:14, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
Yaniv, this could interest you. Boris Tsirelson ( talk) 20:40, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Yaniv: I read your poetic expression of what Talk pages might aspire to in your piece The land of Talk. I hoped it would demonstrate a new form for discussion, one where some actual imagination might take place. The language seemed likely to provoke real reflection, because its meaning revealed itself quite differently from the usual infertile legalistic court-trial kind of language found on AN/I and described by WP documentation outlined in my essay WP:Editing environment. However, it seems that your effort got archived without understanding. I was sorry to see that. Brews ohare ( talk) 14:22, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
I strongly agree with the suggestion that you ask about Mizar system external links at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics, which is the right place to ask about making structural changes to many math articles, and include your pro/con tabulation. You might ask whether a template for the external links, or perhaps a modification to some infobox, would be most appropriate, and see if someone can help you create such a template or modification. Then, if people there agree that the links would be helpful, you can ask on WP:BOTREQ for help automating those additions. Good luck and welcome! I really liked your Pearsons-vs-regression R^2 answer on the Math Desk. 207.224.43.139 ( talk) 00:22, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Yaniv256, as much as I would like to help, it really isn't appropriate for me to close another RM on this article since I closed the original one. See RM closing instructions conflicts of interest -- Mike Cline ( talk) 20:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
Are you requesting a block of yourself? Giant Snowman 10:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I closed your nomination, Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/The "Rubens Vase", as "Not promoted". We welcome your contributions to featured picture candidates and I encourage you to nominate more images. Before you do so, you may want to review the featured picture criteria. If you're unsure if a picture meets the criteria, feel free to add the image to picture peer review where experienced users will comment on it. Thanks. I hope to see you at FPC again.

Hey, Yaniv, sorry if this is a bit too bold, but I've moved the question you posted on the Teahouse questions page to the Teahouse talk page, as it's more of a comment for the Teahouse hosts than a question per se. Wikipedia talk:Teahouse is a place where we do a lot of meta-discussion ( Wikipedia talk:Teahouse/Host lounge is another), so it fits there pretty well, actually. Most of us have that page watchlisted, I believe, so I don't think it'll lose much visibility. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 20:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive comments at WP:ANI. You are not being "threat[ened]...for speaking [your] mind", you are being informed that your comments are uncivil (and also advised to read WP:FREESPEECH). Your concerns will be addressed if an when an admin who is familiar with the topic and/or who is available can get to them. Until then please remember that there is no deadline on Wikipedia and that the conduct of everyone involved in an AN/I discussion is scrutinized. Please allow things to happen naturally, with paitence and good faith, as continued disruption will result in blocking. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

The Bushranger
One ping only 20:47, 19 August 2012 (UTC)The Bushranger is hiding that the true cause of the block was my last edit, which falls, as many of my edits and rants, squarely within Advocating amendments to policies or guidelines. This is not an appeal of my block as I, personally, am quite fine with it. It is you, the reader, who should contemplate if you are fine with it, and if this might not be a good time to act before that answer that is currently in your reach blows away. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 21:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Just to make sure that I am well understood. Unless someone reverts this block, I will have to recognize that what I have done was indeed disruptive, and will never, ever edit again. That will be my choice. You have a choice too. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 21:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
If you gentelman would be so kind, I'd like to have my two statements above be posted on AN/I as my official response.

Being denounced by your allies must serve as a wake-up call to any man. I acknowledge the error of trying to get admins to provide some attention to the financial crisis RM case using troll-like behavior and would like to pronounce a commitment not to go down that road again. I further, recuse myself from any further dealing with the financial crisis RM case. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 05:04, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Please post the above to AN/I on my behalf. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 05:04, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
I must say, Bushranger, that I am curious to know if that reference you made in reverting my Five Pillars edit was cynical, and if so by how much. I have never heard of this show, but reading the Wikipedia page I feel that I have been missing out on quite a bit of joy. That guy sounds way cooler than I ever hope to be. →Yaniv256 talk contribs 22:22, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

You need to slow down, with your edits to policy and guideline pages. Your change to WP:AT is out of order for several reasons.
From the edit history of you user account, and the fact you have not declared that you have edited under other user names, I assume that you are new to Wikpedia. I suggest that until you are more familiar with how Wikipedia processes work, that you debate your points of view on the talk page, but wait until there is a clear consensus before making changes, as it a a fine line between being seen as enthusiastic and disruptive. -- PBS ( talk) 16:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I am puzzled by this comment "... And please try to avoid oneliners and over linking policy to experienced editors, as both are commonly seen as rude ..." [4], because according to your users edit history you have only been editing since 03:32 on 21 July 2012, or just over a month, and most editors would not consider an editor of one months experience to be an experienced editor. Have you edited under another user account or a long time using IP addresses? -- PBS ( talk) 17:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect One share, one vote. Since you had some involvement with the One share, one vote redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Mr. Guye ( talk) 01:27, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
