Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to United States Senate election in Virginia, 2012. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * In this case, your source is not reliable and therefore not acceptable. Please read WP:RS and WP:PRIMARY. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:24, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * On another note, are you Julien Modica? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:25, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello J3mm0. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article United_States_Senate_elections,_2012, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:39, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Julien Modica for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Julien Modica is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Julien Modica until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Bgwhite (talk) 20:44, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Julien Modica
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Hairhorn (talk) 21:26, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

September 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Julien_Modica. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. v/r - TP 00:23, 3 September 2011 (UTC) Thank you. This has been a learning process for me...

ANI notice
There is a discussion going on about you at Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents.--v/r - TP 00:25, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Elen of the Roads (talk) 01:21, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked for two reasons. Firstly, I believe this account is being operated by more than one person. this edit claims you are the mother of Modica's greatest supporter while this one is from someone who I'm guessing is a casualty of war (The life taken from me while I was defending the rights Bgwhite has just abused), and the edit summary says ''Additions to the debate. Transfered to this page with the help of my mother''. Wikipedia accounts must only be used by one person.

The other reason for your block is the outrageous threats and  you made against another editor. This behaviour is simply not acceptable, no matter how much someone has offendend your political views.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 01:31, 3 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I work all day and am very sorry for my comments. Based on Bgwhite's remarks, which were needlessly aggressive and inaccurate, I thought I was to respond in a similar fashion. I am also exhausted and was unsure of how Wikipedia worked. Please forgive me. I will limit access to me only. I would like to edit further and improve the article content over the weekend. Best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J3mm0 (talk • contribs) 01:58, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Which 'me' am I addressing, the mother or the son? On the whole, I think it would be better that you remain blocked until after the AFD has finished at least. Elen of the Roads (talk) 02:02, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Is that really neccessary? I think J3mm0 can be reasonable from this point forward and avoid topics he/she has a conflict of interest on such as the AFD.--v/r - TP 02:06, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Considering that the sole focus of this accounts edits has been to promote Julien Modica, yes, I do think it is necessary. Elen of the Roads (talk) 02:11, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, well I'm not going to push the issue, I have very thin support for the user and this is about as far as I'm going to take it. I'm heading off for the night, but please keep in mind if you do rethink this that I object and think this is a bit harsh in my honest opinion.--v/r - TP 02:17, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

After much thought and reflection, I think we are going about this all wrong. Your editors are looking for (A.) something that they will not find; namely, a God like figure who has actually experienced, personally, the brain injury rehabilitation process and (B.) a wonderful story that has a happy ending. The brain injury experience, at least among the brain injured veterans I see and talk to, never seems to end well. The excitement that my family has for Mr. Modica's candidacy is that he comes from a distinguished military background (the U.S. Naval Academy) and he has done it (meaning brain injury recovey). Modica is now trying desperately to get elected the next U.S. Senator from Virginia and to help others through his understanding of brain injury and of the legislative process. My family has met a lot of frauds over the last four years. People who may want to help, but do NOT have the knowledge or the patience to learn what they do not know. This frustrates me beyond what you can possibly imagine and as well all the families that are in a similar position (officer or enlisted). Wikipedia could help in this regard, but to be honest I am the mother of an injured son (who is just one of a long distinguished list of Army officers in our family) who knows NOTHING about Wikipedia (as I have so clearly demonstrated over the last few days). Although I am not a close friend of Mr Modica, I do know how to get in touch with him. I don't even know if he is aware of this so-called Wikipedia discussion/debate. However, if you want to get in touch with Mr. Modica I could assist, but I would very, very much like to finish the work I am doing on Mr. Modica's page and get "out of the Wikipedia business..." this weekend. - as fun as it has been for all of us (Ha! Ha!) You could help by allowing me to edit Modica's page. Thanks and all the best. J3mm0 (talk) 10:19, 3 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm looking through your contributions, and this page, and see nothing resembling a reason to unblock you. The guide to appealing blocks is quite clear.  We have 2 main issues: multiple persons using this account, and threats.  On top of that you're a single purpose account who is admittedly wholly unable to provide a neutral point of view regarding a minor political candidate, who does not even appear to meet the standard notability requirements for inclusion on an encyclopedia.  Just what exactly are the reasons why you should be unblocked? ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 11:04, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Guys, but I am making Mr. Modica look bad (which is not my intent) so I am getting out of the "Wikipedia Business..." All the Best 15:45, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

I was just checking back.

I won't decline this since I already declined the other one...but you still have not given us any reason to unblock you. Please respond to the concerns people like myself, Bwilkins, and Elen of the Roads have brought up. either way (talk) 23:18, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

The first issue about multiple users is easy to fix. My son is involved in a Study/Research program in Texas and has no access to my computer or my account. I have also told him not to get involved in the discussion and has agreed not to. "Everyone's" impression of my family as it relates to our support for Mr. Modica is a bit confusing. For example, my family is African American. There are a number of things Modica could say which would drastically change our opinion of him. I don't expect him to make those comments, but you get the point. As a military family, we don't promote/support any political candidate. We don't even support President Obama. Our support for Modica's candidacy is self-serving. We have two other sons in a combat zone. God help us, but it is possible that we have three sons going through the same thing. We are typically democrats, but voted for Senator John Warner (a republican and former Secretary of the Navy) in all of his reelection campaigns for self-serving reasons. There is no candidate in any state, in any party I support more than Mr. Modica, because he moves me and my family closer to a potential solution. It is as simple as that. Do I want him to be elected, yes, but now that I am aware of your parameters I will closely adhere to them. Hoping for the best 00:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I am quite sure Mr. Modica is the best person to have ever been born. Wikipedia, however, is not the place for you to espouse that.  I see no evidence you intend to follow the rules of Wikipedia.  -- Jayron  32  01:35, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

That's funny. I needed a good joke. I have to admit, however, I am a bit in awe of his accomplishment, so, you are right, I may not be the best person, anyway. Don't you guys ever sleep??? Thanks everyone. I have learned a great deal. All the Best 02:22, 4 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh it's simply called timezones... mabdul 02:41, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

It appears that a decision is gradually being made. I am very, very pleased to see the discussion, although there is much I don't agree with. I just looked at the coverage wikipedia gives to cancer survivors. Wikipedia does a great job in this regard. Christina Applegate is just one example. Considering that the number of returning veterans with brain injury is roughly 350,000, wikipedia might consider allowing something similar. I have no idea how it could or should be done, and there is no way I would get involved in anything of this magnitude. but... Just a thought and perhaps a suggestion.

 * We don't buy such arguments. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 13:23, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Christina Applegate (and Jade Goody, who died of cervical cancer) have articles because they are notable, not because they had cancer. Marc Almond, Richard Hammond and Gorden Kaye are all individuals who pass WP:GNG and who have survived traumatic brain injury. Elen of the Roads (talk) 20:38, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
