Hi. Could you explain your reasoning here? Thanks! Zagalejo^^^ 18:27, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
The first big hint that someone has a massive POV axe to grind is when they start trying to harass users who disagree with their edits by making highly questionable threats and/or AN/I reports. It is a big red flag for me. My suggestion is you focus on the talk page of the article rather than dropping threats on user talk pages. Tmtoulouse (talk) 22:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
It wasn't a threat - I have tried to discuss with you and you have ignored me. Before reporting a third edit I am obliged to inform you of such. I like to think it is good manners.In response, my experience of POV is when an editor repeatedly makes reverts without discussion and on occasion without a comment in the edit box. I am surprised that this has happens with some one who claims to have started their own WIKI based on "rationality. The7thdr (talk) 22:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
I am not sure of your experience in this area so want to alert you to 3RR. At 4RR you could and probably would be be blocked.(olive (talk) 20:26, 17 September 2008 (UTC))
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
First off, as far as WP:V is concerned web sites are considered as good enough for popular culture as long as they aren't "self-published books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, knols, forum postings, and similar sources are largely not acceptable.[1]"
Second, the posts were not from the forum, but news. 1up is considered a reliable independant news site with peer overview, unless you have some information I don't have on this particular site.Jinnai (talk) 19:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

It's great to be eager, but I suggest that you slow down a bit and take more time in discussing your edits on the talk page and in seeking consensus. Editors who are followers won't feel they need to be as involved if editors who are critics aren't just dumping stuff into the article. Wikipedia is a long term project and we don't have to get it right immediaely. Will Beback talk 03:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I will be applying for formal mediation shortly. Please let me know within the next two days if you will be available for mediation or not. This does not mean you accept the mediation, but just that I can include your name as party to the mediation. Thanks. (olive (talk) 14:35, 26 March 2009 (UTC))

Just a friendly note 7th: None of the users presently working on the TM pages indicate as far as I can see on their user pages that they are faculty at MUM. If you have other information that they are, you in disclosing that information are outing them. Outing on Wikipedia is serious breach and can result in very long blocks. I would mention also that any personal information about my employment not on my user page is in some case outdated, but if disclosed is also outing as some recent ArbCom cases indicate. I have had to protect certain kinds of information due to ridiculous anonymous phone calls ... a clear sign that those on Wikipedia are not necessarily nice people, and that someone has too much time on their hands. (olive (talk) 17:35, 29 July 2009 (UTC))
7th ... I recently watched an editor banned indefinitely precipitated when he mistakenly revealed information on an editor contained in an archive, and in a situation he thought to be appropriate. You have indeed accused those on the TM page of being MUM people. My note was not a threat, but a friendly warning. An admin coming onto the TM page may caution you about this. David Orme Johnson does not advise me, a lowly Wikipedia editor.. as I said.(olive (talk) 18:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC))

Thanks for you comment on my Talk Page, 7th. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a message. What I was trying to do was to use your experience as a peer-reviewer to try to arbitrate this discussion on Otis. I though that if we could approach the study in a even rational way, we may be able to resolve this impasse. And you have not offended me in any way. I enjoy the cut-and-thrust of the debate. However, i do not like the "personal" attacks that are sometimes employed. I feel it is OK to savage the content of the comments, but not the authors. See you back in the fray on the TM discussion page! --BwB (talk) 19:31, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
"Spiritual/religious/esoteric profiteering: I have a deep dislike and mistrust of any organization that in anyway "profits" or "charges" for spiritual or religious "secrets" or services of any kind and consider it possibly the most shameful of all religious activities". Perhaps you put this POV aside when editing? It does not influence you in any way when deciding what text, references, quotes, etc. should go in any article? --BwB (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey 7th, Recently you correctly informed BWB that he shouldn't use bold and caps as part of his text on the talk page. So I am also taking a moment to remind you as well. Recently you put the following in the summary box on one of your edits
OK, nuff said. I look forward to having many caps-free discussions with you in the future, my friend. :-) Namaste, Kbob--Kbob (talk) 18:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
I hate to be rude, but if one reads the comments below, not only does it appear that the block was unjustified but neither editor has either reserched what happened or are clear as to why I am blocked! I would appreciate an independent review

Hi 7th, is this a user name of yours? I'm not sure. If yes, please see the message I posted on that user page about careless comments about other editors. And if that user account is unrelated to you I apologize in advance for my error. Cheers!--Kbob (talk) 21:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Decline reason: No and I've blocked your main account for the remaining time left on your sock's blocks. Here's what I see: using a second account to engage in a dispute that your first account was already active in, using the second account to avoid being caught in the 3RR, confusing and skewing discussions by using both accounts to comment and finally using the second account to attack other editors. Not sure why you thought that behavior was at all appropriate, its not. — Shell babelfish 02:08, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
1 You claim that Lb is a "Sockpuppet" yet you are aware that such an "alt" is created to hide ones identity. As a quick survey of the page makes clear - LB was generated as a reply to gender specific assumptions while addressing me - something i see you are repeating Rleve. Perhaps you might want to read the article on "gender neutral witting?
2 You claim I made 3 reverts yet I only count one. indeed, once again it is the editor form the TM org - who doesn't even have the decency to loggin - who i think you will find made 3 reverts.
3 You claim edit wars yet it was clear form my comments that this was an attempt to make a "bold" edit to bring the article out of a stalemate is had been in for months. Can I point out the statement I made that I would not the only contest any revert but for people to give it a little time while things settled down (see Tm talkpage). Can i add that the only revert I made was to an unknown user who had been highly disruptive editing the article for 24 hours - see history.
4 The final fact seemed to be that I used MED-R guidelines to remove none complaint studies from the article while the editors "calmed down" and came to some sort of neutral npov edit.
I have put up with a lot of harassment for my religious views - or should that be my atheism - I hope this is not a continuation there of? The7thdr (talk) 20:46, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I understand that you're frustrated with the TM article and feel that there is some poor behavior going on there. The correct course of action is to get some help through dispute resolution or administrators (if blocking/banning is needed). You did violate 3RR only you had to use both accounts to do it - you do not get 3 reverts for each account and in fact, should never, ever have used both accounts for this dispute. You may also be blocked for edit warring even if you don't go over 3 reverts - edit warring is never a productive way to handle a dispute. Also indicated in the block message was this personal attack where you insulted someone's intelligence and reading skills - I'm sure you know that personal attacks are not accepted on Wikipedia, right?
So what this boils down to: You used a second account improperly. You edit warred. You made personal attacks. After being blocked, you evaded the block using other accounts. What happened at the TM article and who's right or wrong there has nothing to do with your block; your own behavior is what got things here. Shell babelfish 01:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
