Those parties that support the Globalist Free market system that really create Fascist governments through populist Regime plots such as the so called color revolutions of the past 20 years & continuing at the moment! If a government tries to do what is right for the people & the land they are said to be Communist or Fascist by those so called educated cultureless majorities! I see no wings on the CEC if anything they are more human than any of the governments we have had in Australia since Geoff Whitlam, & as we witnessed with PM Whitlam, the Royal Monetarist Nazis had him sacked so is Australia a free nation???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.229.54 ( talk) 05:56, 18 March 2015 (UTC) reply

ARBCOM decision on transgender issues and your misgendering of Brandon Teena

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding transgender issues and paraphilia classification (e.g. hebephilia), a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Your comments on the talk page were exceptionally offensive. MrX was kind enough to point you to the Wikipedia policy regarding the topic. I will also point you to this statement by the arbitration committee about offensive comments against trans people. If you continue such behavior you may be blocked. This is your only warning. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 16:39, 20 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Might I ask what you regard to be exceptionally offensive? My use of the word "deluded", which I have withdrawn, or my reference to Teena's mental illness - which was referred to in the article itself? Royalcourtier ( talk) 04:44, 21 April 2015 (UTC) reply
In this edit, you misgender the subject. EvergreenFir already mentioned misgendering in the subheading. -- haminoon ( talk) 05:26, 21 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Haminoon is correct. Misgendering + "deluded" were the worst parts. Wikipedia's policy is clear: no one cares what you personally thing the pronouns should be, only what the subject of the article says they are. If you continue to misgender on the talk page or insist pronouns should be something else as you did here, I will submit an arbitration enforcement request.

EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 18:22, 25 May 2015 (UTC) reply

My comment was not general discussion, though perhaps I should have been more specific: I believe Locke's political position ought to be mentioned in the article, rather than essentially evaded. Royalcourtier ( talk) 00:12, 26 May 2015 (UTC) reply
The template is rather generic. The "forum" behavior was for the use of "lunatic left". Please aim to be more neutral and less polemic, especially when commenting on political pages and pages related to living people. Cheers. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 01:54, 26 May 2015 (UTC) reply

Propaganda

Wikipedia is not a vehicle for propaganda. I found a couple of edits from you, in a talk page, claiming that Conservative and Catholic is the antithesis of fascism. The fact is, the reference for fascism is the Benito Mussolini's system in Italy, a catholic and conservative regime [1]. I can only guess that your comment is the result of misinformation. I'm give you the benefice of the doubt in assuming that it was just miss information. Nevertheless, it is a known propaganda talking point used by the religious right wing in the united states, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for propaganda. In the future please refrain from spreading propaganda, miss information or presenting your opinion as fact in wikipedia.

Can you please advise what is a "known propaganda talking point used by the religious right wing in the united states". I assume that you are not referring to fascism, as I doubt the US religious right makes any regular references to fascism. Or are you suggesting that the US religious right is fascist (surely an extreme view). And why is a reference to something that you say is a "known propaganda talking point" therefore itself propaganda, and to be excluded from Wikipedia? Such reasoning would rule out much of what is written in Wikipedia about, for instance, left wing economics, on the basis that certain doctrines and theories are Marxist, and therefore references to them is propaganda. Surely you are not suggesting Wikipedia should be censored to that extent. Royalcourtier ( talk) 05:31, 30 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Hello RoyalCourtier. I've reverted an edit you made on Ruby Ridge because the wording violates WP:NPOV.

Promotion of Terrorist Propoganda

Your use of the ISIL talk page to promote ISIL's propaganda and insist, with no sources, that the terrorist group is a state is very inappropriate. Given your past inappropriate editing activity and use of talk pages to promote fringe views, I suggest you review relevant WP policy on WP:RS and the purpose of Wikipedia before you do much more editing. If you continue down this line I will seek a block against you. Legacypac ( talk) 00:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Stating that the evidence suggests that ISIL is a state is not promoting the group. To suggest that is so is illogical and defamatory. There is plenty of evidence that the group has established a state; it is not the first terrorist or rebel group to do so. To argue that ISIL/ISIS meets the definition of a state is not the same as supporting that group. I happen to believe that Nazi Germany was a state too, but I do not support that state or what it did. Read this article - https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/isis-not-terrorist-group. I am not promoting fringe views about anything, and have never done so on Wikipedia. Your unjustified and absurd criticism of me is inappropriate. If you continue to attempt to censor Wikipedia to promote your own agenda, or to defame other editors, I will seek to block you. I see that you have a history of disruptive edits, and of making false allegations against editors. Royalcourtier ( talk) 01:22, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Maori treaty of Waitangi breaches-your question

Some time ago you asked if there were instances of Maori breaking the Treaty of Waitangi in NZ. The Waitangi Tribunal was set up by the government of NZ about 30 years ago to look into Government breaches of the treaty as a result of ongoing ill feeling from Maori towards the crown -mainly as a result of Maori land confiscations in 1863. The tribunal is the only body that can investigate and it can only look at Govt breaches. The tribunal was normally held on Maori marae(meeting houses) and proceedings were in Maori generally. The appointed judges all spoke fluent Maori and many were Maori. Unlike a court of law hearsay was allowed and in many cases given preference to information from written records. Often the hearsay was from living people describing events 150 years ago that have passed into Maori or iwi(tribal) mythology as " fact". There is no body to investigate Maori breaches of the treaty because that was not a political reality in an country using the MMP voting system where minorities can have far more influence than their small numbers suggest.

Contrary to what some editors have suggested there certainly were Maori breaches of the treaty. I had a discussion recently with an author to ask why they dont write about certain specific events where Maori en mass broke the law. Their reply was -first the publisher wouldn't print it. Secondly he would be ridiculed and ostracized. Their job would be in danger. In other words there is no political will or mood or "need" to investigate Maori breaches.

Speculation: If breaches were based on the Treaty clauses -setting up an alternative separatist govt would be a good place to start.Then move on to attacking and murdering settlers or attempted assassination of the governor would follow. The tribunal found that Maori(well, the ones that rebelled) were fighting a defensive war.This is the standard line of response. There is no discussion at all, ever, about the need for the then govt to protect NZ from internal attack and disintegration. Rebels set up an illegal land league and intimidated other Maori who wanted to sell land.(A few willing Maori sellers were just murdered). The tribunal repeatedly breached its own rules eg (preventing pre 1840 evidence being heard).The practical reason for this rule was that in the period 1807-1840 Maori fought about 500 battles (Musket Wars) among themselves to try and kill off their neighbours (often distant ones)and seize their lands. Often Maori within their own tribe fought each other but the most violent and bitter struggles were between long term enemies seeking revenge on each other(Utu in Maori).This included mass killings, torture , slavery, forced "marriages" and other barbaric behaviours especially eating their enemies. Constant public exposure of this kind of behaviour was not politically acceptable, particularly as Maori society today is still extremely violent (conviction rates for serious crime is very high-Maori make up 15% of the population now but 50% of those in jail).

A key point to remember is that the 1860 Kingitanga rebels were very much a minority-by far the majority of Maori supported the govt or remained neutral. In 1864 there were about 55,000 Maori of which about perhaps 3,000-4,000 lived in the separatist state known as the "King Country".However not all in the KC actually supported the King -the number of supporter had dropped to about 1,000 by 1884. 115.188.178.77 ( talk) 22:17, 27 January 2016 (UTC) reply

War of 1812

Just to let you know, I spotted your talk section on the war of 1812 infobox, and I have always thought it odd that in the infobox, instead of a war result, there is a reference to the result of the negotiation. Anyways, they discussion has been continuing, with some "passion" (as is the norm on that page, unfortunately). Feel free to pop in and comment. I'm trying to get the infobox re-written so it is more useful to the reader, and more NPOV. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 09:27, 6 May 2016 (UTC) reply

Your Vandalism on "Annexation of Portuguese India"

You changed the caption of one of the most well known photographs of the Indian invasion of Goa from "Indian troops are greeted by supporters" to "Indian troops are surrounded by hostile civilians". Please share with me your source for this. The civilians in the photograph are seen smiling and waving to the camera along with the soldiers and would probably not qualify as 'hostile'. Or should I take this as an act of deliberate vandalism? Tigerassault ( talk) 10:01, 21 August 2016 (UTC) reply

The photograph may be well known, or it may be unknown, that is irrelevant. What is relevant is what it shows. Looking at the faces and postures of the relatively small number of people in the crowd, most are silent and standing still. This is not a welcoming crowd. It cannot be assumed that these Goans supported the Indian invasion - after all most did not support the illegal Indian annexation. Changing the description of the photo to better match what is shows is not vandalism. But perhaps English is not your first language. Royalcourtier ( talk) 22:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC) reply
I would add that changing a label to better reflect what the photo actually shows cannot be called vandalism. Royalcourtier ( talk) 06:12, 21 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Look in

...at the Ruby Ridge article when you have a chance. Some of the issues you raised earlier may be more easily addressed, shortly, as a review of sourcing is being done. In a controversial article, if what you question is unsourced, or if the source is checked and the article text cannot be verified, then the material can be removed. Glance in now if you want, but wait to have the hard look at content, after the sourcing review is done. Then, it will be easier to go to the source that supposedly supports any given statement.

fyi ...

In battle/combat, the killing of an opposing military force has never been called a 'war crime' - today's silly liberal political correctness has attempted to make it a crime in public thought to shoot anyone who isn't holding a gun to your head threatening to kill you. Wars are fought to be 'won' - both Allied and Axis powers attempted to shoot sailors in the water from the opposing sides because they would be picked up and thrown back into combat. People that are squeamish about this need to consider that during the war, bombings of enemy military installations were common - killing a barracks full of troops asleep in their bunks vs. killing them during combat would seem even more 'dishonorable' within that line of thinking. These were not soldiers who had surrendered - they were still active combatants. In addition, the immense amount of murder and destruction made by the Imperial Japanese and Nazi Germany made stopping them by any means necessary imperative.

What is the PAC and AZAPO doing to take advantage of ANC failures and rescue South Afrika?

I am concerned about the silence of both the PAC as well as AZAPO, which are the two organisations that I believe have the right mix of ideologies for the true and meaningful liberation of our people in Mzantsi Afrika.

I believe that this is an opportunistic time for these two organisations to be visible, forge unity and campaign as one for the 2024 elections. We need to hear you telling us what is your plan to address the issues that are biting the country. There are too many low hanging fruits that can help you win the people's hearts. Remember. These two giants have never lost relevance, they have never sold out. They were just pushed aside by the evil forces that seek to keep Africans dispossessed and poor using the power of money and media. 2024 is around the corner.

We are yearning to hear both parties jointly talk to us about The land. How do you plan to address this very important issue, should you be trusted with a majority vote?

Unemployment of south Africans in South Africa. Check what Botswana has done to protect jobs for BaTswana. We can copy and paste. People will buy into that.

Management of borders as well as who comes to the country for what reasons. That is another huge opportunity that can help both organisations win confidence of voters. Another spin off from this could be the training and employment of the unemployed, to help manage our borders.

I believe in African Unity with all my heart. I however also believe that Africans cannot flock to one country and unite there. No country has sufficient resources to cater for that. That will be one big way of destroying that host country, as we see that gradually happening in Mzantsi.

A fair approach would be the encouragement of inter trade amongst the Nations as a start.

A push for countries to build factories for purposes of working our raw materials locally and add value to them by making finished goods for consumption as well as export purposes. Rather than the continuation of exporting raw materials. This one activilty alone can swallow all the unemployed people of this country.

There are so many other low hanging opportunities. But I believe if both parties can campaign together and sell among others, the above interventions to the voter. You will do well in the elections.

South Africans especially Black people of our country, whether aware or not, do need BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS like they never did before.  The land issue has also become as imperative as it never was before. 

I was so encouraged and exited to see both parties jointly commemorating the Sharpville Massacre day at Regina Mundi.

Can you both for the sake of our future generations please join hands for 2024. Come up with an agenda and start engaging communities on social Media Platforms. It will not cost much.

Future benefits will be huge for the Black Nation as well as all others who have selfless ambitions for the prosperity of the country and its future generations. 41.150.226.57 ( talk) 20:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC) reply

ARBCOM decision on transgender issues and your misgendering of Brandon Teena

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding transgender issues and paraphilia classification (e.g. hebephilia), a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Your comments on the talk page were exceptionally offensive. MrX was kind enough to point you to the Wikipedia policy regarding the topic. I will also point you to this statement by the arbitration committee about offensive comments against trans people. If you continue such behavior you may be blocked. This is your only warning. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 16:39, 20 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Might I ask what you regard to be exceptionally offensive? My use of the word "deluded", which I have withdrawn, or my reference to Teena's mental illness - which was referred to in the article itself? Royalcourtier ( talk) 04:44, 21 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Haminoon is correct. Misgendering + "deluded" were the worst parts. Wikipedia's policy is clear: no one cares what you personally thing the pronouns should be, only what the subject of the article says they are. If you continue to misgender on the talk page or insist pronouns should be something else as you did here, I will submit an arbitration enforcement request.

Propaganda

Wikipedia is not a vehicle for propaganda. I found a couple of edits from you, in a talk page, claiming that Conservative and Catholic is the antithesis of fascism. The fact is, the reference for fascism is the Benito Mussolini's system in Italy, a catholic and conservative regime [1]. I can only guess that your comment is the result of misinformation. I'm give you the benefice of the doubt in assuming that it was just miss information. Nevertheless, it is a known propaganda talking point used by the religious right wing in the united states, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for propaganda. In the future please refrain from spreading propaganda, miss information or presenting your opinion as fact in wikipedia.

Can you please advise what is a "known propaganda talking point used by the religious right wing in the united states". I assume that you are not referring to fascism, as I doubt the US religious right makes any regular references to fascism. Or are you suggesting that the US religious right is fascist (surely an extreme view). And why is a reference to something that you say is a "known propaganda talking point" therefore itself propaganda, and to be excluded from Wikipedia? Such reasoning would rule out much of what is written in Wikipedia about, for instance, left wing economics, on the basis that certain doctrines and theories are Marxist, and therefore references to them is propaganda. Surely you are not suggesting Wikipedia should be censored to that extent. Royalcourtier ( talk) 05:31, 30 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Promotion of Terrorist Propoganda

Your use of the ISIL talk page to promote ISIL's propaganda and insist, with no sources, that the terrorist group is a state is very inappropriate. Given your past inappropriate editing activity and use of talk pages to promote fringe views, I suggest you review relevant WP policy on WP:RS and the purpose of Wikipedia before you do much more editing. If you continue down this line I will seek a block against you. Legacypac ( talk) 00:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Stating that the evidence suggests that ISIL is a state is not promoting the group. To suggest that is so is illogical and defamatory. There is plenty of evidence that the group has established a state; it is not the first terrorist or rebel group to do so. To argue that ISIL/ISIS meets the definition of a state is not the same as supporting that group. I happen to believe that Nazi Germany was a state too, but I do not support that state or what it did. Read this article - https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/isis-not-terrorist-group. I am not promoting fringe views about anything, and have never done so on Wikipedia. Your unjustified and absurd criticism of me is inappropriate. If you continue to attempt to censor Wikipedia to promote your own agenda, or to defame other editors, I will seek to block you. I see that you have a history of disruptive edits, and of making false allegations against editors. Royalcourtier ( talk) 01:22, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Maori treaty of Waitangi breaches-your question

Some time ago you asked if there were instances of Maori breaking the Treaty of Waitangi in NZ. The Waitangi Tribunal was set up by the government of NZ about 30 years ago to look into Government breaches of the treaty as a result of ongoing ill feeling from Maori towards the crown -mainly as a result of Maori land confiscations in 1863. The tribunal is the only body that can investigate and it can only look at Govt breaches. The tribunal was normally held on Maori marae(meeting houses) and proceedings were in Maori generally. The appointed judges all spoke fluent Maori and many were Maori. Unlike a court of law hearsay was allowed and in many cases given preference to information from written records. Often the hearsay was from living people describing events 150 years ago that have passed into Maori or iwi(tribal) mythology as " fact". There is no body to investigate Maori breaches of the treaty because that was not a political reality in an country using the MMP voting system where minorities can have far more influence than their small numbers suggest.

Contrary to what some editors have suggested there certainly were Maori breaches of the treaty. I had a discussion recently with an author to ask why they dont write about certain specific events where Maori en mass broke the law. Their reply was -first the publisher wouldn't print it. Secondly he would be ridiculed and ostracized. Their job would be in danger. In other words there is no political will or mood or "need" to investigate Maori breaches.

Speculation: If breaches were based on the Treaty clauses -setting up an alternative separatist govt would be a good place to start.Then move on to attacking and murdering settlers or attempted assassination of the governor would follow. The tribunal found that Maori(well, the ones that rebelled) were fighting a defensive war.This is the standard line of response. There is no discussion at all, ever, about the need for the then govt to protect NZ from internal attack and disintegration. Rebels set up an illegal land league and intimidated other Maori who wanted to sell land.(A few willing Maori sellers were just murdered). The tribunal repeatedly breached its own rules eg (preventing pre 1840 evidence being heard).The practical reason for this rule was that in the period 1807-1840 Maori fought about 500 battles (Musket Wars) among themselves to try and kill off their neighbours (often distant ones)and seize their lands. Often Maori within their own tribe fought each other but the most violent and bitter struggles were between long term enemies seeking revenge on each other(Utu in Maori).This included mass killings, torture , slavery, forced "marriages" and other barbaric behaviours especially eating their enemies. Constant public exposure of this kind of behaviour was not politically acceptable, particularly as Maori society today is still extremely violent (conviction rates for serious crime is very high-Maori make up 15% of the population now but 50% of those in jail).

A key point to remember is that the 1860 Kingitanga rebels were very much a minority-by far the majority of Maori supported the govt or remained neutral. In 1864 there were about 55,000 Maori of which about perhaps 3,000-4,000 lived in the separatist state known as the "King Country".However not all in the KC actually supported the King -the number of supporter had dropped to about 1,000 by 1884. 115.188.178.77 ( talk) 22:17, 27 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Your Vandalism on "Annexation of Portuguese India"

You changed the caption of one of the most well known photographs of the Indian invasion of Goa from "Indian troops are greeted by supporters" to "Indian troops are surrounded by hostile civilians". Please share with me your source for this. The civilians in the photograph are seen smiling and waving to the camera along with the soldiers and would probably not qualify as 'hostile'. Or should I take this as an act of deliberate vandalism? Tigerassault ( talk) 10:01, 21 August 2016 (UTC) reply

The photograph may be well known, or it may be unknown, that is irrelevant. What is relevant is what it shows. Looking at the faces and postures of the relatively small number of people in the crowd, most are silent and standing still. This is not a welcoming crowd. It cannot be assumed that these Goans supported the Indian invasion - after all most did not support the illegal Indian annexation. Changing the description of the photo to better match what is shows is not vandalism. But perhaps English is not your first language. Royalcourtier ( talk) 22:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC) reply

Look in

...at the Ruby Ridge article when you have a chance. Some of the issues you raised earlier may be more easily addressed, shortly, as a review of sourcing is being done. In a controversial article, if what you question is unsourced, or if the source is checked and the article text cannot be verified, then the material can be removed. Glance in now if you want, but wait to have the hard look at content, after the sourcing review is done. Then, it will be easier to go to the source that supposedly supports any given statement.

fyi ...

In battle/combat, the killing of an opposing military force has never been called a 'war crime' - today's silly liberal political correctness has attempted to make it a crime in public thought to shoot anyone who isn't holding a gun to your head threatening to kill you. Wars are fought to be 'won' - both Allied and Axis powers attempted to shoot sailors in the water from the opposing sides because they would be picked up and thrown back into combat. People that are squeamish about this need to consider that during the war, bombings of enemy military installations were common - killing a barracks full of troops asleep in their bunks vs. killing them during combat would seem even more 'dishonorable' within that line of thinking. These were not soldiers who had surrendered - they were still active combatants. In addition, the immense amount of murder and destruction made by the Imperial Japanese and Nazi Germany made stopping them by any means necessary imperative.

What is the PAC and AZAPO doing to take advantage of ANC failures and rescue South Afrika?

I am concerned about the silence of both the PAC as well as AZAPO, which are the two organisations that I believe have the right mix of ideologies for the true and meaningful liberation of our people in Mzantsi Afrika.

I believe that this is an opportunistic time for these two organisations to be visible, forge unity and campaign as one for the 2024 elections. We need to hear you telling us what is your plan to address the issues that are biting the country. There are too many low hanging fruits that can help you win the people's hearts. Remember. These two giants have never lost relevance, they have never sold out. They were just pushed aside by the evil forces that seek to keep Africans dispossessed and poor using the power of money and media. 2024 is around the corner.

We are yearning to hear both parties jointly talk to us about The land. How do you plan to address this very important issue, should you be trusted with a majority vote?

Unemployment of south Africans in South Africa. Check what Botswana has done to protect jobs for BaTswana. We can copy and paste. People will buy into that.

Management of borders as well as who comes to the country for what reasons. That is another huge opportunity that can help both organisations win confidence of voters. Another spin off from this could be the training and employment of the unemployed, to help manage our borders.

I believe in African Unity with all my heart. I however also believe that Africans cannot flock to one country and unite there. No country has sufficient resources to cater for that. That will be one big way of destroying that host country, as we see that gradually happening in Mzantsi.

A fair approach would be the encouragement of inter trade amongst the Nations as a start.

A push for countries to build factories for purposes of working our raw materials locally and add value to them by making finished goods for consumption as well as export purposes. Rather than the continuation of exporting raw materials. This one activilty alone can swallow all the unemployed people of this country.

There are so many other low hanging opportunities. But I believe if both parties can campaign together and sell among others, the above interventions to the voter. You will do well in the elections.

South Africans especially Black people of our country, whether aware or not, do need BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS like they never did before.  The land issue has also become as imperative as it never was before. 

I was so encouraged and exited to see both parties jointly commemorating the Sharpville Massacre day at Regina Mundi.

Can you both for the sake of our future generations please join hands for 2024. Come up with an agenda and start engaging communities on social Media Platforms. It will not cost much.

Future benefits will be huge for the Black Nation as well as all others who have selfless ambitions for the prosperity of the country and its future generations. 41.150.226.57 ( talk) 20:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC) reply
