Your recent edits and 'Neutral Point of View' in Wikipedia

On the '2011 Libyan uprising' article, it appears you are editing in such a way to push a point of view, as well as editing article names and naming conventions, specifically naming it 2011 Libyan Civil War, despite there being a discussion under way on the Talk page of that article, and consensus not yet declared. In looking over other edits you are making, these seem to be focused toward a common goal that, in this editor's opinion, is biased toward a pro-Western viewpoint. From what I can tell, the articles related to this subject are already suffering from a large degree of bias and jingoism, and I would take this opportunity to refer you to the following guidelines for Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV_dispute#POV_pushing

Thanks. -- Avanu ( talk) 11:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

The consensus of the naming discussions is that it's civil war, not otherwise. There's WP:UNDUE focus and mentioning of one Jamahiriya spokesperson throughout the article. Treating those to thing's I can't relate to 'pro-Westernism'. If I wanted to make it 'pro-Western' I'd make it as though the issue was all about one man. Rather it's about a multiplicity of tribes and a great many thousands of people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperblySpiffingPerson ( talkcontribs) 12:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply
There is no declared consensus yet. News reports also are split on the name of this. Regardless of the viewpoint that you have on this Jamahiriya, it is not a common name, and you are providing little to no sourcing for these changes, you are making wholesale moves and edits to articles without so much as a 'how do you do' in an effort to educate editors or gain consensus. You may be right in referring to things as Jamahiriya, but it is hard to see if you are making any effort to present a rationale for these wholesale changes. -- Avanu ( talk) 12:06, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Please stop changing the article title until a consensus has been reached. If you continue to do so before a consensus has been reached, such edits can be considered disruptive and you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 23:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Minor edits

"A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearrangement of text without modification of content, etc. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. " You are making substantive changes, including controversial ones, and marking them minor. Please stop. Dougweller ( talk) 21:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

I put them as minor edits so they don't show up on my own watchlist. Is there another way to effect the same purpose.?

Don't you notice that when you check your watchlist, your own edits show up unless they are marked as minor. So to avoid the superfluity of informing myself of what I already know I have bias to recording changes as minor, especially those where there purpose is terminology clarification which is a large part of what I've purposed to improve on this database.— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents
regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.    Thank you.
There's another article called Transitional National Government which refers to an entirely different country. Name change to refer to Libya further distinguishes it. The NTC is an organ of the Libyan Republic, which is to be distinguished from its opponent the Libyan ARAB Republic. Libyan Republic NTC is a fair and justified and preferred name for it. It informs the reader WHERE the the NTC arises from and WHAT participant in the Libyan Civil War is pulling its strings.— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at 2011 Libyan uprising. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in you being blocked from editing.-- Labattblueboy ( talk) 00:36, 24 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to National Transitional Council.

If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.-- Labattblueboy ( talk) 00:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Please talk about your changes on the 2011 Libyan Uprising Talk page

The block was not a mistake, it is a penalty for not waiting up and talking things through with others. As I said, it's a team effort. It's chill and encouraged to be WP:BOLD, but there is a limit and a point at which it goes from helpful to selfish.

Edit warring on various articles

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{ unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

You have been renaming things without consensus. On 23 March you made eight article moves. The complete report of this case is at WP:AN3#User:SuperblySpiffingPerson reported by User:Avanu (Result: 24h). EdJohnston ( talk) 00:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

requested in order to weigh in at Talk:Libyan Civil War and to be afforded the fairness to respond at the incident report naming this account at Administrator Noticeboard I've been invited and required to be drawn into. SuperblySpiffingPerson (talk) 09:02, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Firstly, you have not addressed the reason for your block, which was edit warring. Secondly, to unblock a disruptive editor specifically so that they can "weigh in" in exactly one of the forums where their disruption has been felt is not appropriate. Thirdly, the Administrators' Noticeboard discussion (to which you contributed) has been concluded, with this block being its outcome. Any reasons you may have for requesting an overturn of that decision should go here. Finally, considering the amount of contentious, disruptive, and misleading editing you have been doing, I think a 24 hour block is minimal, and reducing it would be unhelpful.

Request reason:

the civil war participants are Libyan Arab Republic, Libyan Republic and foreigners. I implement that. The sweep of discussion as re naming 'uprising' or 'war' produced the consensus that it must be acknowled as the latter. I implement that. I also implement that WP:UNDUE focus upon the family name of the Arab Jamahiriya's lead representative be remedied. In those purposes my first action will be to notify this to the article discussion page.

2011 Libyan uprising

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at 2011 Libyan uprising, you may be blocked from editing. regards, Lynbarn ( talk) 11:00, 25 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Be specific when you make an allegation such as that. I am not the only party making compromise suggestions to how the war participants and the war itself should be referred to. We need middle ground terminology which raises the awareness of both Gaddafi and Jalil in creating the mess and which mollifies the camp of the rearguard 'uprising'-termers equally as those who confront the actual truth, which is that it's a civil war— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Hello SuperblySpiffing. Since you persist in reverting names to your own preference, against the wishes of everyone else, it is likely that you will receive a longer block.

Request reason:

there is undue focus upon the person of Muammmar Gaddafi in the Libyan Civil War articles. The resolution is balancing with reference to other warlord participants such as Mustafa Jalil and the invading foreigners. Also, neutralise and factualise personalising terms to 'Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' and 'Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' - names the contenders have taken for themselves. I have justified this repeatedly in conjunction with the editing I've supplied.

Decline reason:

In order for an unblock request to be granted, the blocked user should indicate why the block is no longer necessarily or required. This means that the request should indicate why your block reason - edit warring, would no longer be a concern if you are unblocked. The status of an article or a description of the edit war itself are not unblock reasons. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 10:21, 27 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Gaining Consensus in Wikipedia for changing articles

I am going to try and help you by explaining the reasons that people are having issues with your editing, and what you can do to make this work.

At first, I thought it was enough to explain my edits in the little "edit summary" box. I made an edit, gave my good reasons, and I assumed that that was enough. Or I would even take the time to explain more on the Talk page. "Enough said, right?" But I was mistaken. The problem that I didn't recognize right at first was this thing called "consensus". If you have consensus, and you "edit war" as Wikipedians call it, then you (might) get a pass because you are protecting consensus. (in reality, you just have to avoid edit warring all the time if you can)

The problem is that articles in Wikipedia could very quickly get into a loop of "view 1" - "view 2" if they allowed it. So how do you stop it? Well, consensus means that enough people (or even 1 with a great argument) discuss and agree that a certain approach is the best approach. Sometimes a discussion on consensus doesn't reach an agreement. So people all just wait. Maybe they start a new discussion and see if anyone has come up with a new idea or reason. But the point is, when you know it will begin an 'edit war', a loop of view #1, view #2, etc, then you stop editing, and you start a discussion on the Talk page and you ask for consensus. Usually people leave the article at the least contentious version for a while, but it could be left with whatever viewpoint prevailed at the time the discussion began.

While it is being discussed, other editors understand that they have to leave it alone, for the most part. But since facts change, the consensus can change also. What is good one day, might not be the next day. But the point is, you wait, and you wait.

I worked on the Taco Bell article recently. TB got sued because the lawyers say the meat isn't good enough. I was going to add a mention of the lawsuit to the article. Another editor disagreed. So we took it to the Talk page, with my edit gone from the page. We have been discussing it for over a month now.

What you need to understand is that consensus does not mean just because you are right, you win the argument. It means you discuss patiently, if possible, the reasons you believe a certain thing needs to be included or excluded from the article, and maybe help others understand. In your specific case here, you will need to probably explain a LOT more detail to get people to agree, because the mainstream viewpoint is very focused on Muammmar Gaddafi as being the leader.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Common_name#Common_names

With regard to the reasons you gave in your request to remove the recent block above, you say "there is undue focus upon the person of Muammmar Gaddafi in the Libyan Civil War articles". Please explain this further. You use the term "warlord participants", which I doubt most people have heard, and uses the term warlord, which is not a neutral term for 'leader', so people would need to understand why you chose that term. You mention "Mustafa Jalil"? It would help to explain why he needs to be mentioned.

Also, this is a small note, but the term "invading" is biased, and the term "foreigner" is biased.

People prefer a common shorthand for things. USSR was something most people understood, 'Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' or 'Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' are not names that are being commonly used, so we either use a common term, or we explain enough so that the reader can connect the commonly understood term to this new term.

I hope this is helpful. You seem to have a viewpoint that is lacking from our debate, and probably could offer a lot to make this article better, but without following the guidelines that Wikipedia has in place, it might be a while before you get a chance, or you might have to deal with getting blocked over and over. And that is really not what anyone wants, I think. Good luck. -- Avanu ( talk) 11:56, 27 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Hiya,

I don't mean to sound uncivil, but it looks like you're doing the same things that you got into trouble for last time. Please go to the talk page and discuss it. Odds are most people will say you should not use the official names as few people will recognise them.

Hi, SuperblySpiffingPerson, you need to take a look at the last two edits I have made on that 2011 Libyan civil war article. That is the type of editing you need to be striving for. The way you are going about it is overly pushy and really not very community oriented or diplomatic, not to mention understandable for the normal reader. -- Avanu ( talk) 03:17, 3 April 2011 (UTC) reply

I've been trying to demonstrate how you can incorporate the changes you want while not causing a fuss. It is entirely possible, and if you review the recent edits I have made, you can see what I have done. But if you keep editing the way you are, it won't go well.

Your recent edits and 'Neutral Point of View' in Wikipedia

On the '2011 Libyan uprising' article, it appears you are editing in such a way to push a point of view, as well as editing article names and naming conventions, specifically naming it 2011 Libyan Civil War, despite there being a discussion under way on the Talk page of that article, and consensus not yet declared. In looking over other edits you are making, these seem to be focused toward a common goal that, in this editor's opinion, is biased toward a pro-Western viewpoint. From what I can tell, the articles related to this subject are already suffering from a large degree of bias and jingoism, and I would take this opportunity to refer you to the following guidelines for Wikipedia.

Thanks. -- Avanu ( talk) 11:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

The consensus of the naming discussions is that it's civil war, not otherwise. There's WP:UNDUE focus and mentioning of one Jamahiriya spokesperson throughout the article. Treating those to thing's I can't relate to 'pro-Westernism'. If I wanted to make it 'pro-Western' I'd make it as though the issue was all about one man. Rather it's about a multiplicity of tribes and a great many thousands of people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperblySpiffingPerson ( talkcontribs) 12:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply
There is no declared consensus yet. News reports also are split on the name of this. Regardless of the viewpoint that you have on this Jamahiriya, it is not a common name, and you are providing little to no sourcing for these changes, you are making wholesale moves and edits to articles without so much as a 'how do you do' in an effort to educate editors or gain consensus. You may be right in referring to things as Jamahiriya, but it is hard to see if you are making any effort to present a rationale for these wholesale changes. -- Avanu ( talk) 12:06, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Please stop changing the article title until a consensus has been reached. If you continue to do so before a consensus has been reached, such edits can be considered disruptive and you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 23:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Minor edits

"A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearrangement of text without modification of content, etc. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. " You are making substantive changes, including controversial ones, and marking them minor. Please stop. Dougweller ( talk) 21:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at

There's another article called Transitional National Government which refers to an entirely different country. Name change to refer to Libya further distinguishes it. The NTC is an organ of the Libyan Republic, which is to be distinguished from its opponent the Libyan ARAB Republic. Libyan Republic NTC is a fair and justified and preferred name for it.

Decline reason:

Firstly, you have not addressed the reason for your block, which was edit warring. Secondly, to unblock a disruptive editor specifically so that they can "weigh in" in exactly one of the forums where their disruption has been felt is not appropriate. Thirdly, the Administrators' Noticeboard discussion (to which you contributed) has been concluded, with this block being its outcome. Any reasons you may have for requesting an overturn of that decision should go here. Finally, considering the amount of contentious, disruptive, and misleading editing you have been doing, I think a 24 hour block is minimal, and reducing it would be unhelpful.

Request reason:

the civil war participants are Libyan Arab Republic, Libyan Republic and foreigners. I implement that.

Be specific when you make an allegation such as that. I am not the only party making compromise suggestions to how the war participants and the war itself should be referred to. We need middle ground terminology which raises the awareness of both Gaddafi and Jalil in creating the mess and which mollifies the camp of the rearguard 'uprising'-termers equally as those who confront the actual truth, which is that it's a civil war— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Request reason:

there is undue focus upon the person of Muammmar Gaddafi in the Libyan Civil War articles. The resolution is balancing with reference to other warlord participants such as Mustafa Jalil and the invading foreigners. Also, neutralise and factualise personalising terms to 'Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' and 'Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' - names the contenders have taken for themselves. I have justified this repeatedly in conjunction with the editing I've supplied.

Gaining Consensus in Wikipedia for changing articles

I am going to try and help you by explaining the reasons that people are having issues with your editing, and what you can do to make this work.

At first, I thought it was enough to explain my edits in the little "edit summary" box. I made an edit, gave my good reasons, and I assumed that that was enough. Or I would even take the time to explain more on the Talk page. "Enough said, right?" But I was mistaken. The problem that I didn't recognize right at first was this thing called "consensus". If you have consensus, and you "edit war" as Wikipedians call it, then you (might) get a pass because you are protecting consensus. (in reality, you just have to avoid edit warring all the time if you can)

The problem is that articles in Wikipedia could very quickly get into a loop of "view 1" - "view 2" if they allowed it. So how do you stop it? Well, consensus means that enough people (or even 1 with a great argument) discuss and agree that a certain approach is the best approach. Sometimes a discussion on consensus doesn't reach an agreement. So people all just wait. Maybe they start a new discussion and see if anyone has come up with a new idea or reason. But the point is, when you know it will begin an 'edit war', a loop of view #1, view #2, etc, then you stop editing, and you start a discussion on the Talk page and you ask for consensus. Usually people leave the article at the least contentious version for a while, but it could be left with whatever viewpoint prevailed at the time the discussion began.

While it is being discussed, other editors understand that they have to leave it alone, for the most part. But since facts change, the consensus can change also. What is good one day, might not be the next day. But the point is, you wait, and you wait.

I worked on the Taco Bell article recently. TB got sued because the lawyers say the meat isn't good enough. I was going to add a mention of the lawsuit to the article. Another editor disagreed. So we took it to the Talk page, with my edit gone from the page. We have been discussing it for over a month now.

What you need to understand is that consensus does not mean just because you are right, you win the argument. It means you discuss patiently, if possible, the reasons you believe a certain thing needs to be included or excluded from the article, and maybe help others understand. In your specific case here, you will need to probably explain a LOT more detail to get people to agree, because the mainstream viewpoint is very focused on Muammmar Gaddafi as being the leader.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Common_name#Common_names

With regard to the reasons you gave in your request to remove the recent block above, you say "there is undue focus upon the person of Muammmar Gaddafi in the Libyan Civil War articles". Please explain this further. You use the term "warlord participants", which I doubt most people have heard, and uses the term warlord, which is not a neutral term for 'leader', so people would need to understand why you chose that term. You mention "Mustafa Jalil"? It would help to explain why he needs to be mentioned.

Also, this is a small note, but the term "invading" is biased, and the term "foreigner" is biased.

People prefer a common shorthand for things. USSR was something most people understood, 'Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' or 'Libyan Arab Jamahiriya' are not names that are being commonly used, so we either use a common term, or we explain enough so that the reader can connect the commonly understood term to this new term.

I hope this is helpful. You seem to have a viewpoint that is lacking from our debate, and probably could offer a lot to make this article better, but without following the guidelines that Wikipedia has in place, it might be a while before you get a chance, or you might have to deal with getting blocked over and over. And that is really not what anyone wants, I think. Good luck. -- Avanu ( talk) 11:56, 27 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Hi, SuperblySpiffingPerson, you need to take a look at the last two edits I have made on that 2011 Libyan civil war article. That is the type of editing you need to be striving for.
