Speedy deletion nomination of Monopoly of Initiative[edit]

A tag has been placed on Monopoly of Initiative requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

May 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Monopoly of Initiative, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 15:57, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Monopoly of Initiative[edit]

I have nominated Monopoly of Initiative, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monopoly of Initiative. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 15:58, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 16:02, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits[edit]

You have edited a great deal of sources from pages. This is POV pushing. It is not good practice to remove verifiable third party sources because you disagree with their contents. Please explain your all your edits on the talk pages involved. Catapla (talk) 17:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Reputable third party sources have been removed from Declan Ganley's page as he disagrees with them. Any of Ganley's associations which he deems negative (despite reference) are swiftly deleted, usually without explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthinirishpolitics (talk • contribs) 11:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Libertas.eu[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Libertas.eu. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. EdJohnston (talk) 05:05, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for Edit warring. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below.

You have been edit warring at Libertas.eu and Declan Ganley. Your removal of well-sourced material from articles suggests that you are trying to make the article subjects look better, thus causing Wikipedia articles to reflect your personal point of view. This issue was first reported at WP:AN3. EdJohnston (talk) 13:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are being discussed[edit]

Hi, you have been reported to the conflict of interest notice board here Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#QuotationMan_is_a_Single_Purpose_Account due to your recent editing. You are welcome to comment on the discussion. Thank you Smartse (talk) 13:14, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

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) 09:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for Disruptive editing. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below.

Continued removal of well-sourced criticism from Declan Ganley. Apparent WP:COI editing. Your block may be lifted early if you will agree to stay off this article and limit yourself to editing the Talk page. This issue has been discussed at WP:COIN#QuotationMan is a Single Purpose Account. EdJohnston (talk) 14:17, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|1=I understand the reason for my block, and will completely stop writing anything on Libertas, Declan Ganley and related articles for the next week, as requested by EdJohnston. I would like to request to be unblocked so I can participate in the discussion forums alone.--QuotationMan (talk) 14:50, 25 May 2009 (UTC)}}[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

OK, unblocked per your assurance. I understand you are promising not to edit Declan Ganley, Libertas.eu, Democratic deficit, Libertas Institute, Libertas Bulgaria, and all articles related to Libertas, Declan Ganley, or the election in which Ganley is participating. If this is not correct let me know right away.

Request handled by: EdJohnston (talk) 15:49, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

QM has replied at User talk:EdJohnston[edit]

In case other admins want to check on the status of the deal, QuotationMan replied on my user talk, agreeing to the above conditions, but naming some other editors who he perceives belong to a group opposed to Ganley. EdJohnston (talk) 16:30, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Violation of ban[edit]

Hello QuotationMan. Please explain why you should not be blocked for violating your topic ban from the Declan Ganley article. EdJohnston (talk) 14:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the above wording, in the unblock, puts no time limit on your topic ban. If you're not accepting that deal then the block will be restored. EdJohnston (talk) 14:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Violation of ban[edit]

Sorry! I was under the impression I was only banned from those sites for 1 week, as the block I requested lifted was only a block for 1 week. I will not write anything on the sites until we have a new agreement.

I would like to request permission to write on the pages again. I will only make small positive contributions and not remove any sensitive material - such as my latest edits which you undid. With your permission I would like to be allowed to make contributions such as these.

--QuotationMan (talk) 10:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no new information that makes me think the topic ban should be changed or lifted. EdJohnston (talk) 13:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
