Introduction to contentious topics
—  Newslinger  talk   04:58, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Please note that the pages you have edited on Wikipedia to date also fall under the following contentious topics: "Falun Gong, broadly construed" and "All living or recently deceased subjects of biographical content on Wikipedia articles". —  Newslinger  talk   04:58, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Epoch Times
Please stop personalizing the dispute at Epoch Times. No one is "in control" of the article, and if you have any evidence that someone is furthering their "ideological bent", as opposed to just stating their good-faith opinions on how to improve the encyclopedia, please bring them up in a suitable place (see WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE.

 * Personalizing?  Sorry I don't understand that comment.
 * Looking through the revision history there appears to have been a history of contentious dialogues and when I asked why the article was locked and by whom I got an answer.  The editors that have admin status clearly have control and the editors that don't have such status do not have control.   That's all that statement means.
 * I really want this article to be better than it is.  Epoch Times has a lot of flaws, much like any media organization but what's in there now isn't neutral to me or many others and the opening statement is just false IFF one uses the provided definition.   That's what I'm focusing on and so far I have not seen anyone really address this.
 * Ideally I'd like to see the article unlocked and I suggested several times some general language that might satisfy everyone.  AFAICT no response or interest was made in any of those suggestions nor any hint of interest in improving the article.    So it looks like from a lot of others perspective like quite an ideological article. Ijeffsc (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

I only communicate via email if there is a pressing reason, which there is not in this circumstance. Please communicate on-wiki. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

[User talk:ScottishFinnishRadish|talk] Per the Wikipedia guidelines I'm still looking for a clarification on the rational for a block. This is a 20 year old account so it seems like ureasonable action on a normal disagreement. Since this is my 4th request for clarification it will also be my last.

 * Although your account is 17 years old, you've made less than 40 edits. The majority of those few edits were disruptively editing the talk page of Epoch Times. Your limited editing history shows no indication that you intended constructively edit, rather that you wanted to right great wrongs. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:39, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Test Edit
Update. Now I seem to have been blocked from contacting other editors like ClifV. ClifV you can try contacting me from my talk page on RHS menu "Email this user".

I see ClifV has been caught up in this issue. I don't see any way to communicate or help however. I travel a lot so I suspect either an IP address from an ISP in California or an Express VPN IP was at fault here. At the moment I'm in SE Asia.

Just testing to see what technical means I have to respond. Ijeffsc (talk) 03:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC) Ijeffsc (talk) 00:30, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Test of communication to ClifV
ClifV let me know if you get this notification.

Co-Post with ClifV
ClifV and I have managed to establish communications. The sock puppet allegation is our highest priority at the moment we are making a simultaneous post to demonstrate we are two individuals. Ijeffsc (talk) 03:52, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
