User talk:Kebman

User Age
So I think there is another user with the same name that is also mine, and that I may have registered over it, or it was overwritten, or whatever. That's how I lost my contributions. Or rather, my previous account. I think it was either KEBman or kebman. This is of course Kebman. :p Would be fun to get my real account back, if at all possible. --Kebman (talk) 03:56, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I found the root of the problem. My old account has indeed been renamed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kebman~enwiki If I could get it back, I'd be really happy.--Kebman (talk) 04:08, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Wonder if there's a solution to this? -- I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @  04:13, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't see it before, but this is the talk-page of my actual account. Wish I could get access to it again, as I think this is due to the account merger. I was also booted from the Norwegian user page during this process, and thus I've also lost contribs there as well. :/ KEBman (talk) 18:53, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * And now I even found my old password. I think it was due to mixups of different accounts on different projects, and problems with large and small letters to boot. Confusing! :D Kebman (talk) 13:54, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Barbara Lerner Spectre are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. Jayjg (talk) 17:14, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your thoughts and feelings on the matters. They shall be summarily ignored. Have a nice day. --Kebman (talk) 06:38, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Kebman, "summarily ignoring" User:Jayjg's note is less cute than insightful. You were just reverted on Talk:Islamophobia by, and your rant on Talk:FrontPage Magazine is equally unencyclopedic. Please review WP:NOTFORUM and WP:NOTHERE. Drmies (talk) 16:51, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Doing a bit of the old censorship are we? Well, I didn't think highly of you before, so I guess I'll think even lower of you now. As for "unencyclopedic", it refers to the article, not discussions on how to improve it - and it is in dire need of improvement. But instead of improving it, or even discussing how or if it can be improved, you choose to "revert", or in effect censor criticism and suggestions. In contrast to you, I was ready to stand bare chested with the public arguments being made. You, on the other hand, are so embarassed at the criticism that you'd rather hide it than answer it. I smell bias and cowardice. I smell hypocrisy. --Kebman (talk) 09:52, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Talk:Islamophobia, you may be blocked from editing.  Acroterion   (talk)   12:30, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * And many other talkpages. Wikipedia talkpages aren't free fora for your opinions on Islam. Your sneering response to similar warnings above is noted. If you do anything like that again, expect to be blocked..   Acroterion   (talk)   12:32, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You do realise your threats only proves me right, though? Those weren't my "opinions on Islam". They were opinions on the Wikipedia article about Islamophobia, and how the article is incredibly biased. If you can't take criticism and suggestions on how to improve, then what is your site worth? If you then censor input about your articles, instead of debating them or trying to figure out how to improve, then what kind of values do you really stand for? --Kebman (talk) 15:54, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Talkpages aren't for indulging your opinions under the guise of article improvement. You are misusing talkpages for forum-style debate and soapboxing. Applying a veneer of "this article stinks" doesn't change that. Any more behavior like this  will bring sanctions.   Acroterion   (talk)   17:11, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't agree. But I can of course not stop you from wielding your power. Kebman (talk) 08:17, 13 May 2019 (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 read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Bishonen &#124; talk 09:08, 13 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Per persistent inappropriate discussion on article talkpages, and responses in "April 2019" and "May 2019" above. Note: you are welcome to appeal your block, but if you include further personal attacks, such as here, your access to editing this talkpage may be revoked. Bishonen &#124; talk 09:14, 13 May 2019 (UTC).

You appparently don't understand the reason for the block. Posts such as this one are a form of hate speech. Yes, it's a quote, but you've endorsed it and posted it to an article talk page. But there's a very simple solution that should get you unblocked. Accept an indefinite topic ban from any edits dealing with Islam or Muslims. How does that sound? Doug Weller talk 11:12, 13 May 2019 (UTC)}}

I think it would also have to include a topic ban dealing with Muslims and an agreement not to post rants such as this one. This all seems very simple as you don't edit that much in any case and mainly in other areas. 11:24, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you! For more background, as I understood, I was being reprimanded by Acroterion, who said that "Any more behavior like this will bring sanctions." I was under the impression that I wouldn't be blocked as long as I didn't write more rants, and I will of course never do that again in the future.
 * As for hate speech, that is a very serious allegation. Guilt by association or endoresement is not grounds for arrest, especially not in the USA, whose main jurisdiction this website falls under. You will have a very hard time convincing a court of law that the words of Mr. Hitchens are hate speech, and in that case you'd better arrest Dawkins and perhaps even Sam Harris too.
 * As for Islam itself, I haven't uttered a single word against it, and I wish all Muslims well! I'm far more concerned with Western politics on the matter, using things like Islamophobia and the threat of deplatforming and bans to keep critics in line. On that topic, since Wikipedia is a private organisation, you're of course in your full right to define that as you wish, and ban and block at your pleasure, though I sincerely hope you will pardon me this time.
 * But you're right. Those rants of mine that you referred to, they didn't help at all. I will submit to not ever writing something like that again on Wikipedia. I don't think I'll be writing much about Islam or Muslims either, though I'm well-educated on the matter, so if you wish to give me a block on that topic too, then I suppose I'll just have to accept that.
 * Thank you for your time! Kebman (talk) 13:20, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * For your above information to be reviewed, you will need to formalize it in another unblock request, which will be reviewed by someone other than me. You sort of allude to it but you will need to specifically affirm that you will accept the suggested topic ban(or whatever it is you will accept). 331dot (talk) 13:37, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Could you please use the word topic ban rather than block. And obviously I was not talking about hate speech in a legal context. Doug Weller  talk 18:44, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
