User talk:Bart Carny

Please see WP:SOCK for what is meant by an alternate identity. A wiki culture is different from other internet communities, and we generally follow certain standards, such as RightToVanish, RightToLeave, and GoodBye, to name a few. If you wish to make a pun at Essjay's expense in this delicate situation, please do it elsewhere. Otherwise, welcome to Wikipedia. Grace notes T &#167; 05:40, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I thought that anybody could contribute to a wiki. Why are you removing all the comments that you disagree with?  Is that what a wiki means?  Bart Carny 05:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * A wiki only means that the changes are fast: "wiki" is Hawaiian for "quick". If you have a valid concern about Essjay, please feel free to voice it. However, if you want to dance on Essjay's grave, please don't do it here. If you added that comment knowing that it would add something useful or insightful to the discussion, feel free to add it back. But maybe you're not familiar with our policy of civility. If you're here to be disruptive, you will be banned. At the risk of sounding somewhat unkind: one gets respect for being smart, not a smart ass. I hope you understand my concerns.

 * Don't delete my comments and I won't delete yours. Bart Carny 06:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * You can delete my comments, but I can't guarantee that others will agree with you. (Deleting comments on your talk page, by the way, is perfectly allowed.) Wikipedia is based on consensus, and established memebers of the community seem to agree that edits, such as those you made to User talk:Essjay, are inappropriate.

 * You're more than welcome to remove uncivil comments, which describes the majority of your edits to Essjay's talk page. I encourage you to read and understand our policies. Criticism is fine; uncivil attacks are not. I'm afraid that it is non-negotiable policy. — bbatsell  ¿?   ✍  06:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * You said that Criticism is fine; uncivil attacks are not. I will criticize without being uncivil.  Do not remove my comments.  Bart Carny 06:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * A wiki isn't what I thought it was. I thought I could enter whatever I wanted.  I didn't realize that I have to enter what YOU want.  You can have it.  I'm glad that Essjay disgraced you. This sucks anyway. Bart Carny 06:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Unblock
Your block has been reviewed by two uninvolved administrators and found to be in line with Wikipedia's policies. I'm sorry that your understanding of Wikipedia was flawed (you cannot "enter whatever [you want]"), but it was, and you violated our policies despite sufficient warning. Since you have abused your right to request unblock reviews by removing completed reviews and requesting 3 reviews, I am protecting your talk page. Thank you. — bbatsell  ¿?   ✍  03:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
