User talk:AntiPanemEtCircensis

Hi; There has been some confusion. You are not 206.207.175.162; that user is some school-boy who was vandalizing the page on Edmund Halley. I blocked him for vandalism, and Guinnog thanked me for doing so; nothing to do with you at all. I'll put some kind of explanatory note on my talk page. Thank you for registering.

As far as Rhobite's editing, he hasn't violated the three-revert rule as far as I can see. Read 3RR enforcement. If you think he has broken the rule, submit your evidence on the Administrators' noticeboard/3RR. If after reading the documentation you find the process confusing, or have any questions, ask for help from me or another administrator. Tom Harrison Talk 21:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

3RR on Freenet
Your reverts appeared to remove this:


 * Freenet Infrequently Asked Questions - A web page expressing criticism of the Freenet project circa 2001

and add the paragraph headed "Project related criticism."

Whether you reverted four times to your own version or to someone else's does not matter. "It does not necessarily mean going back into the page history to revert to a previous version." The emphasis is mine. Reverting to a previous version is not the only way to break the rule, but it is one way.

Often what people try to do is avoid triggering the rule by making minor cosmetic changes to the wording in conjunction with a revert; other times they will make a series of complex partial reverts, and then claim never to have technically reverted. The sentence you quote is intended to prevent that excuse being used. But you did neither of those tricks; your reverts were straight-forward and honest, but reverts none the less.

I know nothing about Freenet beyond what I've read on Slashdot; I have no opinion on the content of the page. When your block is over, you might try making small incremental changes, or proposing changes on the talk page and trying to build support there. If you want one thing and the other editors all want another, it is almost impossible to force your version. You might also consider putting aside your work on Freenet for a few weeks, and working on something else for a while. Tom Harrison Talk 22:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
