MedCab
Hello Pyrrhon. A MedCab case has been opened here, naming you as a participant. I have accepted the case for mediation. Could you please visit the case page and sign your name to indicate your agreement with the ground rules I have laid out, and your willingness to participate? Thank you. — [ roux  ] [ x ] 13:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Pyrrhon, please indicate at the MedCab page whether you intend to participate in the mediation or not. If you do not intend to, please open a request for comment on the article in order to end the dispute. Thank you. [ roux  ] [ x ] 17:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Signature
I noticed that your signature is not linking to your username. Per SIG, your signature should include a link to either your user page, user talk page, or contributions page. This allows other editors simple access to your talk page and contributions log. As you are not signing with your full user name, it is especially important that you link to one of those pages in your signature. Thanks! KnightLago (talk) 22:52, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Dignity: 3O or mediation?
alright, how do you want to work this. do you think requesting a 3rd Opinion will be sufficient, or should we turn directly to mediation through the wp:Mediation Cabal. your choice. -- Ludwigs 2 04:15, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Signature(#2)
I notice your signature uses breaking spaces, and is actually rather large. Please reduce it in size, per WP:SIG, and please use non-breaking spaces, so that your signature does not disrupt the surrounding lines like it has been doing.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  05:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Re my old signature
My old signature used an html-table. The default-behavior of Wikimedia keeps the link-text and the time-stamp on a line below the table, and pushes everything to the left margin. I tried various devices to defeat that default-behavior but those devices failed. I tried to make a table in Wikitext but Wikitext has problems too. If anyone wants to tell me how to make a table and link-text stay with any preceding text, please leave a message. P Y RRH O N  talk   22:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ahh, well, I don't know if I have the spelling right, but you might want to see what Sandestine.. or something, has for his signature.  It is like yours, text in a box with a backround.  Just check WP:ANI and look around, hopefully you'll find it.  Other than that, I like your signature now, but again, in regards to boxes, I do suggest you try to find it.  If I do, I'll let you know.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  23:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * what precisely is the effect you're looking for? I'm good with CSS, wikitext, and html, and I'm happy to whip something up for you, I just don't quite see what you're after.  -- Ludwigs 2  23:23, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks everyone for your comments on my signature. I fixed the problem by removing the table, and by using "span" instead. I regret having caused any inconvenience. I appreciate your offers of help. PYRRHON  talk   21:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * looks good. I'd suggest adding 'padding: 2px', or maybe 'padding: 0px 2px' to the style element of the span, just to set the border off from the text a bit.  -- Ludwigs 2  21:30, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea the purpose of what you just posted in Talk:Sudbury_school. Does my edit history look like this is "my cause"? I've barely an edit in the topic area before a few weeks ago, and an edit history 4-years long! Just because I think someone is wrong, doesn't mean it's "my cause".

Pyrrhon8, just as a warning, wikihounding is against wikipedia policy, and if you continue following me across pages I will ask an administrator to to take action against you. please desist. -- Ludwigs 2 04:24, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Status-stars
Your 1 to 4 star suggestion has a serious gap. An editor could be a troublemaker but has not been blocked. So they would be higher than a 3 star, but not a 4 star. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 23:40, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Islam and Blasphemy
Dear Pyrrhon8,

Kindly look into the wikipedia page regarding Islam and Blasphemy. There are several points that are factually incorrect and subtly anti-Islamic in nature. I have tried to make deletions, but it seems that there are consistent reversions to a version which is riddled with historical and theological inaccuracies.

Kind Regards,

edit warring
Steady reverts over a stretch of days or weeks is edit warring. If you carry on edit warring at Dignity, you'll be blocked from editing. Please be aware, this may be your only warning. Gwen Gale (talk) 00:59, 12 June 2010 (UTC) ", or replacing entire pages with nonsense. Sometimes referenced information or important verifiable references are deleted with no valid reason(s) given in the summary. However, significant content removals are usually not considered to be vandalism where the reason for the removal of the content is readily apparent by examination of the content itself, or where a non-frivolous explanation for the removal of apparently legitimate content is provided, linked to, or referenced in an edit summary."
 * Also, is an unacceptable edit summary. Removing your pet reference is not vandalism, see Vandalism. Describing good-faith differences over content as vandalism is uncivil and can lead to you your being blocked from editing. Guy (Help!) 15:45, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * In reference to your remarks above, I ask that you make note of the following.Vandalism has a gray box near the bottom of its page. The first row in the box says that one example of vandalism is this:


 * I reverted the attempt to remove a significant part of Dignity because the offending editor User:128.223.222.75, a limited-purpose account (one edit at that time), did not provide any reason for removing relevant and referenced information. Whereas most anonymous editors at Dignity use insults to justify their blanking of text, User:128.223.222.75 offered nothing.


 * Accordingly, what I removed from Dignity was vandalism. Contrary to what some administrators seem to want to believe, removing vandalism is not subject to the 3R Rule; removing vandalism is NOT edit warring. Let me quote from WP:Edit_warring, "." An editor not only may but should revert vandalism as often as the vandalism reappears. Removing vandalism and keeping an article from being turned into drivel are the practices of good editors. Sometimes excellent editors will effect several reversions to one article in a day. Those editors have no qualms about making many reversions to stop vandalism because removing vandalism is not subject to the 3R Rule since removing vandalism is NOT edit warring. Removing vandalism is NOT disruptive editing. Disruptive editing has as its aim to make an article bad. Removing vandalism does not make an article bad. No administrator should accuse an editor of being a single-purpose account or of being a disruptive editor merely because an editor makes reversions to counter vandalism. No administrator should notify an editor that he is liable to be blocked for doing what every editor should be doing. PYRRHON  talk   01:37, 13 June 2010 (UTC)


 * As the policy says, good faith edits, however awful an editor may take them to be (or not), aren't vandalism. If you remove GF edits as vandalism again and I see it, I'll block you myself. Gwen Gale (talk) 11:26, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That makes three experienced admins that you take issue with upon the proper application of WP policy. Since you are not Galileo and we are not the Spanish Inquisition then you may wish to deliberate upon the concept that you might be wrong (or the concept of admitting the possibility that there may be times when you could be wrong, if the former is too much of a leap for you). LessHeard vanU (talk) 11:40, 13 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Vandalism says is vandalism. There is no good faith when someone is unwilling to provide a reason for blanking an article in whole or in part. It is uncivil--at least--for an administrator to threaten to block an editor for removing vandalism. PYRRHON   talk   17:36, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Your understanding of good faith and WP:Vandalism is mistaken. I also think you may now be wikilawyering. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:28, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * (1) "All or significant parts" does not equate to "your pet paragraph". (2) Good reason has been given repeatedly, but you choose not to hear. Final warning. Guy (Help!) 08:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
