Thanks for your comments. I figured that such an eloquent appeal deserved an eloquent response. I hope it didn't come across as WP:BITEing :-) Chris cheese whine 04:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

On Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2006/Summary table, I added a column "Examples" with links that exhibit a candidate's arbitration skills. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well.
So far I have entered examples for the candidates who registered first (from their questions page), and I'm not sure if and when I will get to yours, so you may want to enter an example or two yourself. — Sebastian (talk) 00:11, 4 December 2006 (UTC) (I stopped watching this page.

Hi there,
Would you mind taking a look at:

So, you're getting oppose votes in the election because despite the fact that you've been a great admin, some people disagree with your philosophy about an arbcom that get's it's hands dirty. I just gave you one such oppose myself, although I tried to spend more words praising you than opposing you.
Here's what bugs me though-- ultimately, when people oppose you, you're just being punished for your honesty. You could have written a bland, completely uncontroversial statement which lacked any substantial 'position statements' on anything that could have been controversial. You could have played the poltician, but you had the integrity not to go that route. Instead you stood up, said what you thought, were a very transparent and honest candidate, said what kind of an Arbcom member you'd be. Because of that, you might just barely miss being elected.
So, anyway, I don't have anything substantive to say other than to give you major thumbs up for being so forthright and to tell you that even though I didn't support you as a candidate, I strongly support you as a person. I caught just the tiny tail end of the ED mess, and by the time I heard about the whole debate, by and large, people didn't want to listen to my thoughts on the matter, because everyone else had been over it and over it ad nausem, and they were finished with dealing with it. I'm sure you were sick of the whole thing too. But you listened anyway. You seriously considered, for just a moment, the possibility that you might have been wrong. You heard me out, and in the end you decided that you weren't in error--- but you considered the question, and that's a quality that would make you a truly excellent arbiter-- albeit one I'd probably disagree with on a lot of things. :) --Alecmconroy 13:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Sam, I saw you blocked User:213.48.109.2 for messing with Newyorkbrad's page. Could you softblock the whole range, and preferably a bit longer? You'll see why if you cast a look at Brad's page history. I've lost confidence in doing stuff like that myself. I'm too ignorant of ranges and open proxies and such.

I would like to report Emeraude for a personal attaack left on the British National Party Talk Page. The comments asserted that at some point during my life i was either a racist a nazi or a closet nazi. I find it highly offencive that i have been labelled as one of these things as i was simply trying to clarify a point in the article to prevent edit wars.--Lucy-marie 09:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
You're absolutely right, and I have explained as much in the Talk Page. Lucy-marie's complaint above even accuses me of using words that aren't there ('racist'). Incidentally, I am more than slightly upset that someone can make a complaint about me and I only find out about it by accident more than 24 hours later! Emeraude 15:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Following up from my question in the elections; I did find this particular arbitration somewhat disturbing. I fully support MONGO's right to defend himself. And rootology did burn his bridges. But the only justification I can see for anything approaching the severity of an indefinite ban is the belief that he is Fuckface on ED. The only evidence that I am aware of for this is that Fuckface posted a picture on ED which was taken by PrivateEditor. Rootology's answer to this was: "I was in a freenode IRC chat, and someone asked what all the nonsense was about that I was chatting with, and I sent them the image privately when they asked what all this was about. It apparently got back to the ED people, but I have no control over that. Why would I be uploading things that would point a clear light at me if I were doing things like that, AND bring about this Arbitration if that were the case? That's just ridiculous." Whether this is true or just rootology blowing smoke, I don't know, but in the absence of the Fuckface evidence, what crime would he have committed, exactly? He got involved in a highly controversial 'freedom of speech' dispute that involved attacks on Wikipedia editors, and he got on the wrong side of various admins.
I personally find it sad that a user who had never been blocked before the arbitration case, which he brought, has now been essentially given a lifetime ban. It's like me suing someone for defamation of character, and the judge telling me that because he believed (without an enormous amount of evidence) that someone I was involved with had physically attacked the person I was bringing the case against, I was being sent to prison with no possibility of parole.
It was a very difficult case. Personally I think ED needed to be removed from Wikipedia, and editors needed to be defended. But an indefinite ban for a previously unblocked editor, based on disputed evidence, seems too much to me.
--Merlinme 10:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
All of which is fair enough, however I remain unconvinced that rootology was guilty of anything very much other than association with ED people. Reading his contributions at some length, I found him on the whole to be perfectly reasonable. He could be pedantic, fail to assume good faith, and on a few occasions lost his temper, but then so did just about everybody else in the ED case.
To support an indefinite ban, you have to believe that rootology is Fuckface, and the evidence for that seems debatable to me. Nothing that rootology said on Wikipedia makes me think he would vindictively and actively pursue Wiki editors on ED, which (as I understand it) is what Fuckface did. You've said that the ban was a community ban because it actually went in before the ArbCom decision was final, but it was actually brought in immediately after the proposed remedy of banning Rootology, so what admin would ever remove that? (And to be honest, I have some objections to what appears to me to be passing sentence before you've even got agreement from all the ArbCom members yet, although you could make a case that Rootology had lost his cool by this point.)
What I do not want to see on Wikipedia is some sort of version of McCarthyism: "are you now or have you ever been involved in editing of Encyclopedia Dramatica?"
I actually support the ArbCom taking a firmer line in many areas; however if you are elected to ArbCom, I would hope that you would consider cases carefully based on the evidence before you. The evidence against rootology seems tenuous to me. His main crime seems to have been to have got on the wrong side of MONGO (and I should say I understand why MONGO was very sensitive on this). In this environment, the revelation that a picture he took ended up on ED was taken as evidence that he was responsible for some of the worst personal attacks on ED; and for me, that's a non sequitur. I mean, even the reason given for the ban: "links to harassment articles on Encyclopedia Dramatica" seems a bit flaky. Since when is it a crime to have "links"? If I have a relative who is in prison, does that make me a bad person? People should not be guilty by association with nasty people.
--Merlinme 14:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, fair enough. I haven't actually seen the screenshot, as I couldn't find a working link to it, so it's difficult to comment fully. All I would ask is that, if the ArbCom is to become tougher in its sanctions in the future, it give people a fair hearing, based on the evidence against them, and not (for example) on whether they've got on the wrong side of a particular admin.

Please see these diffs: Steve Nash, 10/29 & Steve Nash, 12/11. Do you really believe that this just happens to be from two different people who BOTH hate Steve Nash, and BOTH use the same IP, and BOTH vandalize articles about South Dakota? I suppose it's possible, but not terribly likely.
If I may say; your reaction to this report is terribly discouraging to me as a vandal fighter. I don't make false reports, and I don't overwarn; I look for patterns and I act on them. When admins don't trust these reports, it makes one not want to make reports at all. -- weirdoactor t|c -- 01:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes ! you are right. That's what I am trying to say. I want to know why my article Kalpesh Sharma with undermentioned contents was removed which as posted by someone and which I edited on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpesh_Sharma [2]
This is also not called self promotion. It's the part of achievements in a similar way like any one writes about himself when a nomination is filed for awards. Do you think that when any company invites nomination for particular awards, the nominees who mentions about their achievement is known as self promotion. If not why my article was treated as self promotion and not allowed on wikipedia on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpesh_Sharma [3]
See a similar article posted by Ankit Fadia on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankit_Fadia [4]
Is there any difference between my article contents below and ankit fadia's article. I have written the truth and fact whereas if you go through google for key word 'ankit fadia' you will find the evidence about how much mentioned in wikipedia article of ankit fadia is truth. Why this injustice to other users?
Thnx a lot ! I got ur point. The sources about me are not so notable on internet, but they do appear on several print media and electronic media. If I am not wrong then do you mean that when a source is found on internet is only called to be reliable ? Then what about sources found on print media and electronic media. These sources are not a part of reputation or reliable secondary sources ?

Answer for administrators of wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Kalpesh_Sharma
KALPESH SHARMA - Now I will answer to all your queries mentioned above. Good that this is the first time aksi who calls himself great and utcarsch who calls me a jealous has talked in a proper manner on this user page. This could have been done before also, instead of speaking worst kind of language you two administrators. I talked on user page of Jimbo, sam blanning and also to nina eliza. Check it and let me know or ask them what kind of wrong things did I follow. I talked with due respect with them because for every word and every sentenece they gave me a deep and detailed explanation. I request the honorable management of wikipedia to check this where always a shortcut code was specified by these two users. Even there are other administrators working with wikipedia, who work in a proper way. This policy is not being followed by aksi and utcarsch resulting to this issue. When a new user comes to wikipedia he may do many wrong things, because he is not going to read thousands of links availabale on world's biggest encyclopedia. It's the job of administrator to show him the right path as mr. sam and nina did. See their word and detailed sentence. I am an information security expert and not a wikipedia administrator or editor who knows what and how to use and work out withmillions of links in the site webpages. You both administrators did not treat that way and then blaming me. Every where WP:shortcuts were mentioned. What do I know what does these shortcuts mean, you both have not given any proper explanations even a single time. At the end when you were both tired of again and again deleting kalpesh sharma pages, then mr. patruat gave this instructions that stop doing it. This was when I understood why my article was deleted. But patruat had informed first of all on [7] with respect and detail explanation.
In my case utcarsch and aksi had never given detailed or proper explanation and their lanaguage was further bad when due to un understandability my several pages were created. You never did your work properly though so many times the deleting actions were taken by you. Not even a single time you have given any proper explanation. Now, when a person who is technically little aware has so many problems then what would you both be doing with non-technical peoples. You are a spoiling wikipedia's reputation between users of wikipedia. In this way how the wikipedia will be filled with valuable, reliable and notable contents. You both are trying to show that you are innocent. In of the sentences utcarshch says that
I could find only one reliable link[1] that doesn't indicate any notability.[8]
I will show you the evidence that this is a wrong thing, if keyword 'kalpesh sharma' is mentioned in google the following so data is found from search engine. And for your information all are from reliable notable sources. You have till now mentioned only one link of cybercellmumbai.com and if so many times edition and deletion was done why did you not mark even one of below notable sources out of so many:
1. [9] 2. [10] 3. [11] 4. [12] 5. [13] 6. [14] 7. [15] 8. [16] 9. [17] 10. [18] 11. [19] 12. [20] 13. [21]
14.http://digg.com/security/Ankit_Fadia_Ethical_Hacker_A_Zero_byte_character]
15. [22] 16. [23]
Then comes the topic of great aksi ! sorry but the great word is being insulted by aksi by putting behind his name. He says above that
"He has also been contantly vandalising the article Ankit Fadia until I had to semi-protect it. A complete timeline of his disruption can be found here. His article has been deleted through AfD. Since then he has created multiple sock accounts and created the same article across many namespaces."
I have allready mentioned that my member of groups or some one else who might be knowing about me has vandalized and not me. As concerns to IP if a single internet connection is used with sharing basis from a big company network or e-governence network or somewhere like such place then it's possible that same IP address range is being seen for every user who tries to do modification. My reputation has spread amongst several peoples and I have already worked with chief minister (where Egovernence network exists) as technical assistant. I went to university of gujarat where mr. parimal trivedi is the vice chancellor for some personal matter. There I met many peoples of university staff. May any director, professor or someone even operator level employee would have been directed to post my details on wikipedia. This is not sufficient evidence for saying that single user is vandalizing. I saw the history pages at that time, they were are with different IP address. Every time when some one tried to post about me from my group it was deleted by these two peoples. Then one of my group member mr. agrawal said me that this is happening on pages and contents of your name. After that I tried to edit personally with my own hands my own simple and easy article on
But, when I saw same deletions as my members did ! I went to Mr. Prabhat and gave my opinion that either ankit fadia is a administrator who might be protecting his own pages or administrators who are deleting(utcarsch and aksi) might be playing games so that ankit fadia pages could not be removed. Something is definietly wrong. Because if you look at the data posted on wikipedia about me carefully every time whenever a deletion was made the editing member either from my group or whosoever has placed the contents, has tried to correct the content or article through a modification. Then also it was every time deleted and no proper reasons were given. Now give me explanation whether is it not the job of administrator talk and explain every matter in detail.
Other then this when I was informed by sam on jimmy wales user talk page [25] that go to deletion review, I had edited a message which was also deleted by either of them without any secific reasons. I have mentioned this also in a talk with sam on [26]
I have been trying to get off wiki support is right. But I don't think that utcarsch or aksi has anything to do with that. And one more thing that India is country with freedom to speak in order to give their opinion, protest or give suggestions for one which is wrong. So this is useless reason. don't talk out of wiki topic. Else again I will have to say that do you both have any relations ankit fadia because again and again you are stopping me against my personal protest against ankit fadia. My personal protest or whatsoever I do out of wikipedia has nothing to do with current topic.
The following articles does not even contain single word about wikipedia encyclopedia company nor I have disrupted wikipedia. These articles mentioned complaints against the particular administrators who have been given special powers. Check it here is evidence
"About Wikipedia Administrators
This article is a copy of matter posted by one of my group member on wikipedia because whether or not good, if any one edits ankit fadia's article on wikipedia these adminsitrators do not allow them to do so. Wikipedia administrators are not the employees of wikipedia group in any way they are instead simple persons like all of us working on internet. They have been provided rights of administration for modification of contents on wikipedia to make it more better. Not one or two or three but many peoples edited ankit fadia's contents, but the administrators are relatives of ankit fadia who do not want any one to modify anything about ankit fadia. I am daily recieving many emails of my members and peoples who are in touch with me. Other then this some of wikipedia administrators are going falling to such a useless level that even if any one who does not have relation with me, and if he/she edits ankit fadia's page the wikipedia administrators say it's kalpesh sharma itself. And that I am doing so because my publicity is less then ankit fadia. "
Article 1 - http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976863338 Article 2 - http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976861802
I don't think that any one can say that I have mentioned any things wrong about wikipedia. But definitely ,I have mentioned about some administrators because I believe that they are really wrong. I don't think that saying anything about peoples, "who are doing something wrong in any way" is incorrect. In short if such peoples are given administration rights who does not allow anyone to edit wikipedia for truth and facts then soon wikipedia will lost reputation and as concerns to utcarsch and aksi they can find work anywhere else also. Without going in depth of the reality and fact about any particular matter, no one can be said to be wrong - niether me, niether ankit fadia, niether utcarshch, nor any of my group members. This is what utcarshch is doing after getting administration powers?
Again utcarsch has mentioned the same thing which aksi had specified that
" I posted a message to LUG-Indore mailing list. User:Prabhat linux, the moderator of LUG-Indore has asked Kalpesh to stop using ILUG-Indore for self-promotion and Ankit-bashing. "
Wikipedia or it's data or policies have nothing to do with what is mentioned on any forum, or what way we work or so on. And if utcarsch is trying to mention that I was stopped by prabhat for ankit related bashing then see this where prabhat has specified on LUG Indore Group on one of my topic against ankit fadia:
emails removed
1) Again and again tried to save ankit fadia page though several peoples deleted or commented against ankit fadia excluding me, as if ankit fadia and their some personal relation of benefits exists. 2) Every time no particular deep and proper explanations were given about my page deletions 3) Every time tried to showcase that I am self promoting myself by vandalizing ankit fadia. The clarification of difference between self promotion and achievements is not clear to both aksi and utcarsch, so I had to specify this to sam blanning using jimmy wales user talk page.[27] 4) Without sufficient evidence they self understood and claimed the article of Kalpesh Sharma as edited or posted by single user. Even if it was posted by single user that doesn't mean that they will come and directly catch my throat. They don't have this rights to say me(A reputed person) jealous or sock puppet which may be concern of legal matter and/or otherwise. 5) In the whole matter no where these two peoples have marked or specified any notable good matter for me. All they have mentioned is bad only about me. Why ? I ask. I have many achievements, why their eyes did not see this? Why their eyes did not see what prabhat of lug-indore group said good about me ? they tried to give all my weak points and overall behind that the matter is these two peoples have some beneficial relations with Ankit Fadia and that’s why this issue has gone so long.
I kindly request Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia Management and Any other Authorised person to look into this case from their views and not give my matter to any two these administrators utcarsch and aksi. Not at all.

I saw that you were an administrator. I find that very cool. I was also wondering how you can become an administrator. Do you have do be a Wikipedian for a long time or do you have to edit many articles? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Loulou Lala (talk • contribs) 23:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

Why are you locking a discussion page on this article? I can understand locking the article, but it seems a tad over the top to continually lock and delete the discussion page, even if you feel the article should be deleted.Wangfoo 07:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
I was going through some of my old links and noticed that the article Do Your Ears Hang Low? was deleted. The log said it was deleted by you for vandalism. Do Your Ears Hang Low? is a relatively well known song, making the subject noteworthy. Why was it deleted then, instead of just having the vandalism reverted? -- kenb215 talk 17:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for semi-protecting the Marshmallow article! It was getting pretty frustrating to check for new vandalism for hours, so I was really happy to see that it's finally protected :-) --Icarus (Hi!) 02:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering why did you delete that article? It is about a film that will come out in 2011. What was wrong with it? Do you not like new users making articles? All I was trying to do is help... Somemoron 17:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)somemoron

stop your abuse of adminship or you're gonna be sorry —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Klidasd (talk • contribs) 12:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
You blocked yesterday 217.230.5.19. At about same time the whole 217.230.xxx.xxx range got softblocked in leu of semi-protecting the three articles involved. The user in question has managed to escape the blocks due as he changed his IP-Range to 217.82.116.128 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) to carry on. I am leaving this note with you, as I believe you already familiarised yourself with the background of the case and the other admins I know of who are familiar with it are offline.

The previous article on plop art (to which I made no contributions) was rightly deleted as lacking substance. But I thought the subject had potential as a decent article, based on my reading. So I've created a new plop art article. I believe it may be good enough to stay now. Any comments? MdArtLover 14:30, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi I am just saying thank you for responding to my admin. question. You directed me toward many pages of information and now I know what to do. Thanks again!Loulou Lala 16:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm wondering why you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crack cocaine and hip hop when I had asked for some extra time to try to improve the article. I had been discussing with the nominator ways that we could compromise and bring the article up to a quality that could be included in Wikipedia. AfDs are not a vote and I don't see how you could justify closing that AfD in the middle of discussion. Sincerely, --Howrealisreal 17:57, 24 December 2006 (UTC) Nevermind. I see what you mean. Sorry about that. --Howrealisreal 17:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
For making me smile with your edit summary here, and for working through a holiday to help keep Wikipedia going. --Guinnog 00:34, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Best. Edit summary. Ever. But who knows, maybe I'll be getting that Red Ryder BB Gun after all. Thanks for the laugh... I needed it. Happy holidays! :) --Kinu t/c 00:34, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, this is Tymek 17:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Just one question about removing articles (because I wrote the one about Poland v Brazil (1938) game)
What is the purpose of deleting an article which does not violate copyrights and which gives actual, true facts? Isn't it just better to keep such articles, as there always might be someone who wants to know more?
This is not about my article only, this is general. Is there a rule in Wikipedia that recommends removing articles that are of no interest to someone or what? I just don' get it, why did people stick to this 1938 game? Besides, as I always say - some things may be insignificant to some, but others may care.
You are the admin, so this is why I've asked you (do not take it personally, there is just nobody else to ask)
With regards Tymek 17:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
This was under Articles for Deletion, and the majority of users who voted said Keep. Why you deleted it against the consensus is beyond my understanding, and it is behavior that can get you desyssoped (Translation: you can lose your admin privileges). I will submit the article to Deletion review, and it will most likely be reinstated. If you delete it again after it is, I will contact the proper Wikiauthorities, and they will discuss whether or not to keep having you be an admin. Think about it, Tom Danson 03:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of American Professional Football League. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Tom Danson 03:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Sam - I didn't agree with your decision to delete this article, but am not going to contest it via DRV. However, I found a mention of this game in the Portland Press Herald from April of this year; it's a two-paragraph article that is all about the game's addictiveness. Would that suffice for you to restore the article? I just don't see the problem with verifiability, since the existence of the game is easily verified, but now we have a mention in a major U.S. daily newspaper. | Mr. Darcy talk 01:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I noticed most of the submissions are way off i thought entries have to be at least 5 days old? Nareklm 14:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Sam, I just noticed that you unprotected this article last week. Over the last three days, Leyasu has been back at his revert warring through anons, and several users have been consistently reverting his edits. If anything, this page needs long-term semi-protection to keep Leyasu from coming back; the Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy does not give permission to do this explicitly, but some pages (e.g. George W. Bush) appear to be under long-term semi-protection because they would be consistently under attack from anons over a long period of time. Leyasu has been preventing other users from getting anything done on the Gothic metal article for more than a year. I don't consider myself involved in the content side of the dispute anymore, but I think that to be safe I should have another admin decide whether or not the page should be semi-protected again. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 18:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
