In my opinion, your latest comment ("Opening comments by Britmax...") was more effective than some of your previous comments by virtue of being concise and making one point.

(And to anyone reading this, no, I did not just comment on whether the argument itself was or was not good and or valid. The above is good advice for either side of the dispute; if you make a single point clearly and in few words, your argument is more effective than a wall of test is.) -- Guy Macon ( talk) 21:13, 11 March 2013 (UTC) reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charan Singh (guru), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sangat. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for uploading File:Sheikh july2009.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Gordon Thomas (author) into Gideon's Spies. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{ copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 21:32, 30 August 2019 (UTC) reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission, as you did at Edmond Bordeaux Szekely. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{ unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   Moneytrees🏝️ ^{Talk/ CCI guide} 21:07, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Although only one sentence was problematic, this and a previous warning suggest you still don't understand not to copy from sources. Aside from copyright issues, these edits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 suggest you may have a point of view incompatible with the project. Moneytrees🏝️ ^{Talk/ CCI guide} 21:14, 12 April 2021 (UTC) reply

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I have been blocked indefinitely for supposedly infringing copyright rules. I argue that I did not break copyright rules. I instead referenced briefly some factual information and in doing so I did not copy any verbatim text from the source cited. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Edmond_Bordeaux_Szekely&diff=1017451003&oldid=1016504325 The block was not necessary to prevent damage or disruption. The implication that I have some sort of ‘viewpoint’ that is not compatible with the wikipedia project is given vaguely as merely a suggestion. It appears to be a personal opinion not based in any repeated infringement of wiki policy. Mystichumwipe ( talk) 12:57, 23 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Decline reason:

Well, first of all you did infringe Wikipedia's copyright policy. Minor changes in phrasing such as replacing "lectured and published books" with "gave lectures and published books" are not a defence either in law or in terms of Wikipedia's copyright policy: copying does not have to be totally "verbatim". However, that is a fairly minor point. Far more significant is the fact that you have made it abundantly clear over a period of a little more than ten years that you are here to promote points of view on certain issues, and that you are willing to use any kind of method to do so, including misrepresenting sources, attempting to portray what you must know are fringe opinions as though they are mainstream views if they happen to support your point of view, and removing material inimicable to the views that you wish to promote. That has indeed been such a major focus of your editing for the whole of the time you have been here that your presence does very much more harm than benefit to the project, and unblocking you would not be beneficial.

• (Non-administrator comment) I would indeed concur with the statement that calling the Leuchter report, a pseudoscientific document by a guy who used to build electric chairs and now feels compelled to go around denying the Shoah, a "professional assessment and chemical analysis of the gas chambers" is not a viewpoint compatible with a fact-based encyclopaedia. The same goes for citing war criminals to imply that the victims of a massacre were actually combatants, removing a statement by a recognised authority on Holocaust Denial as "biased", or quoting a different war criminal, whose words are reprinted in a renowned far-right holocaust-denial publication for some more whitewashing. The policies you're infringing on there are WP:NPOV and WP:FRINGE, but perhaps more importantly, these edits are in conflict with the rather widely held view that denying or downplaying the Holocaust is repulsive and not what this project is for. -- Blablubbs| talk 09:59, 27 April 2021 (UTC) reply

None of that has anything to do with copyright, which is the reason given for my blocking. Wikipedia has rules for editing, none of which you have shown I have broken. Just picking a few contributions from many and expressing a negative opinion of them ironically is itself not in accordance with the principles of Wikipedia as I understand them. Is any administrator going to look at this blocking for copyright? Or is it not really about copyright? Mystichumwipe ( talk) 10:27, 1 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Fair enough, the rationale given in the block log and in the block notice both give only copyright violation, whereas it is clear, as you must have been aware, from the comment given by Moneytrees in conjunction with the block notice that copyright was not, in fact the only reason, so I have adjusted the block log to reflect the wider range of reasons.
