Eastern Bloc economies
Hi,

great job. Wikipedia has been lacking such an overview for a long time. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 18:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Please do not edit-war with Viriditas anymore and observe WP:3RR carefully to avoid further problems. (S)he will be dealt with. Colchicum (talk) 20:25, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've been careful this time. Viriditas just breached WP:3RR (check the edit histories -- at 5 actually) and also violated issues regarding editing others talk page comments.  I've honestly never seen an editor so brazenly simply delete others' Talk Page comments as Viriditas.Mosedschurte (talk) 20:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Give someone enough rope.....Yachtsman1 (talk) 21:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Agree about Eastern Bloc economies. You must stop replying at ANI. Otherwise, you may be blocked together with V. to prevent disruption (see my first block).Biophys (talk) 03:14, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, but there is nothing to be blocked for now. His/Her latest allegations were just ridiculous (those were as straight forward as edits get), so I didn't want to leave them unanswered (especially given that much of it was false).Mosedschurte (talk) 03:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * BTW, removing comments at his own talk page is not a violation (please remove that part of your evidence!), but edit warring at talk page of article is indeed a violation.Biophys (talk) 03:19, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I didn't say his removal on his own talk page was an issue. I merely noted that he removed the warnings that both of us attempted to give him on his talk page.  That is listed in the warning section, not the revert section.Mosedschurte (talk) 03:21, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * For example this edit by V. is fine. His talk page only serves for communication. I would suggest to remove that.Biophys (talk) 03:23, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's not an example I gave of a revert. That's in the "warning" section (he/she deleted our warnings on his/her talk page).Mosedschurte (talk) 03:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You should provide only direct evidence, and do not comment too much at 3RR noticeboard, as it will be unreadable. An admin. will be able to check if that was indeed a 3RR violation. The reason of the violation is unimportant (that obviously was not a vandalism).Biophys (talk) 03:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * And please calm down. read this. Biophys (talk) 03:41, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ditto on that. Deal with specifics, keep it cool.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 05:35, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Should I just give this up? The article is a piece of garbage, but it appears anyone who suffers from a condition of normalcy is an editor non grata. Check out the self-discussions on the talk page. It's like attacking an insane asylum with a banana.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Removal of NPOV tag from Jonestown
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Viriditas (talk) 00:29, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Happy News
[] Viriditas has proposed adding new materials to the Jonestown article on the Jonestown conspiracy theory. It can be found under NPOV. But this editor appears shy, and wishes to "discuss" her porposed contributions with you. I told her to add away, improve that article, make those changes. But she won't do so without your input, she wishes to "discuss" this matter with you beforehand because it might be "controversial". I just thought I would let you know.Yachtsman1 (talk) 09:14, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Second warning: Removal of NPOV tag from Jonestown
Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Viriditas (talk) 12:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Done
I'm done with discussing this issue. I keep wondering why an administrator hasn't intervened with what is being said and the attacks upon me and the two of you. There is no doubt in mind that this is simply following an agenda that extends way beyond "fact checking". It's giving me a monstrous headache. Wildhartlivie (talk) 09:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Comment
I saw your comment at ANI. The suggestion to file an RfC about another user's conduct is reasonable. This way you will see if his behavior was problematic, and if the problems persist, you might wish to go with arbitration. My personal advice however is to stop editing "Human right in the US" and do something else. In fact, most of WP articles on controversial subjects are owned by individual users or groups. If someone struggle with them, he ends up as a "problematic user", gets editing restrictions, and so on.Biophys (talk) 03:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point. I took that particular article off of my watch list a couple of days ago for this very reason.  Yachtsman1 (talk) 03:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Filing an RfC was certainly your choice, but I can not be actively involved there: . Biophys (talk) 13:03, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Totally understand, and it's great to have you back. I dreaded actually bringing it for days, instead leaving desperate pleas on Viriditas' Talk page to just stop the campaign.  Probably 20+ hours of pure combative abuse later, I basically had no choice.  I didn't want to spend 12 hours/day fighting some Wikihounding user on articles every day.Mosedschurte (talk) 13:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I briefly looked at your RfC. I am not sure you are doing this right. First, you should realize that content is irrelevant - this is all about an allegedly wrong behavior of a user. Second, this is difficult to read. You should do the following. Make a list. (1) "uncivil comments" (a series of diffs); (2) assumptions of bad faith (diffs); (3) creating battlegrounds (e.g. complaints without merit) - diffs; (4) edit warring - diffs, and so on. Then one can take a quick look and comment on that. Thanks, Biophys (talk) 02:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Viriditas
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. seicer &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  01:11, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

RFCU
I saw that a bit earlier and I left a question with the admin who put in the speedy deletion on it. Haven't gotten an answer yet, but I was just about to read the AN/I report and respond to it. I was a bit worried about the sock note left on the RFCU and was going to post about it tonight also. I can see why that was considered, but when I looked at the tone and manner of the new account, I didn't see that it was correct. The Viriditas account normally doesn't post during the week at the same times of the new account and the editing and comment tone and manner don't seem related at all. It doesn't seem good faith not to consider a RFCU because the sock thing was mentioned. It should perhaps have been filed as a WP:SPI, but I don't think it would have been supported. I don't consider it legitimate grounds to speedy delete a RFCU. Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The speedy delete, which was fairly ridiculous, was immediately nuked by another editor while I was working away from a comptuer.
 * The new ANI section (left a note on your talk page), yet more WP:Wikihounding was not particularly comforting. Especially with zero notice.  I fear that this editor is becoming even more aggressive rather than less.Mosedschurte (talk) 03:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

About your File:EasternBloc BorderChange38-48.svg
Hi Mosedschurte,

The mentioned file should be improved with the detailing of the sections of Yugoslav-Italian border changes (see this picture) in and around Istria and with the Vilnius area. Anyway, the map is quite good, congratulations.--MaGioZal (talk) 13:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Satellite states
Hi, Mosedschurte! Not sure why you reverted my edit to satellite state. "term not in article" isn't very self-explanatory - I was trying to expand the article to cover more of what it is trying to describe. The edits I made were in keeping with NPOV and were relevant to the article. I am therefore restoring the edits I made. If you object to them, let's discuss.
