Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Your recent edits
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 ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also 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) 18:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Canvassing
I note that at least one editor has complained about your canvassing of messages to this point and I request that you cease such activity as it can lead to blocking of your account.-- VS talk 22:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Your apology is accepted. ANI has a way of attracting its own interested parties and asking other users to look into the situation is not necessary. Could I also ask that you (a) sign off each of your edits by using 4 tildes - ask me if you don't know how, and (b) consider creating an account so that your edits gain more weight as not just a drive-by (especially given that your IP is assigned to a University). Best wishes-- VS  talk 22:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * (further to your posts on my talk page) To be brief - (1) the ANI Notice is about informing an editor that they are being discussed not for general canvassing, and (2) Cynicism in any aspect of human endeavour in the end does nothing but cause damage to the cynic. There are over 6.5 million wikipedia editors - most of which are keen, supportive and willing to take the risk.  If you don't agree then walk away - if you really want to help, really want to add positive to the free world of knowledge that is wikipedia then join up and take the bad with the good.  When you look closely you will find that the vast majority of this project is damn good. Oh and your signature worked fine - well done.-- VS  talk 22:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

To VirtualSteve:

If you are still looking - it appears as I predicted, Krimpet has blocked me claiming I am a "sockpuppet" - of user:1948remembered.

I am saddened to see it come to this but the experience has shown me that you were incorrect about wikipedia and the behavior of administrators.

I'm sorry, but I have never been on IRC, I have only edited from one place (though I suspect my IP may have changed, as they do from time to time), and I do not know why Krimpet claims it is "trolling" to discuss the misgivings I have about the behavior of an administrator or the Wikipedia system.

I am saddened that it seems even apparently well-meaning wikipedians cannot act in good faith, but your actions are proving the accusations of your most vehement critics to be quite true.

I would be interested in seeing the supposed "other avenues" you detail, but as I understand the policies, they all rely on my having to email people and sit through tedious, months-long procedures in order to even get a hearing, and the external accounts I have seen (which include many links to on-wikipedia history) all indicate that these are little more than staged farces designed to protect the very behavior I was concerned about seeing.
