...I'm inclined to look into this further
By all means please do. Please note that coming to Wikipedia and accusing other editors of being Microsoft shills isn't the best way to start.

In the meantime, I left a comment on the Talk:Virtual folder talk page. Also you might like to read WP:CIVIL. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 18:16, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia as long as the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Toddst1 (talk) 13:38, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Reminder
In this edit you imply that material posted on wikipedia should be considered confidential. When material is submitted to Wikipedia, the poster "irrevocably agrees to release contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL" and is no longer confidential.

That's a lot of information, and I'm not sure I understand all of it, but if I follow your logic, it is: You might notice links after some of these points; the links are to Wikipedia policies that I think you're breaking with your edits. I hope they are helpful to you. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You invented the Smart Folder, but aren't getting credit for it.
 * You sued Microsoft over it, but your lawsuit was unsuccessful, and you still aren't getting credit for the Smart Folder.
 * Because your lawsuit was unsuccessful, you'd like to get credit for the Smart Folder by adding information about this to Wikipedia instead. (WP:SOAPBOX)
 * Your goal is to get credit for Smart Folder; you aren't particularly interested in Wikipedia other than that (WP:COI)
 * Your creation of Smart Folder has never been written about in newspapers, magazines, or published books (WP:V, WP:RS, WP:N)

Per :

"WITHOUT ACCUSATION, I must tell you I have a direct contact in the Obama Administration regarding a Federal Attorney I have a contact for who can look into this independently if a Rational Debate is refused for a Company receiving Public Funds, POSSIBLY, from Microsoft Corp. and/or Apple Computer."

and

"Therefore, I insist, respectfully, you include this communication to Your Senior Editors or to the Controlling Supervisor(s), or ultimately to Wikipedia Management and/or Legal."

Especially that first quote, it looks like a rather clear threat to take legal action to me. MuZemike 20:28, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * If I understand you correctly, you're agreeing to half of the requested conditions: if unblocked, you will refrain from making legal threats or statements which could be interpreted as legal threats, but you will not refrain from writing about yourself and your connection to Smart Folder/ Virtual Folder. Correct? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:16, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

{unblock|I said in my previous post that if I wanted to make factual the historical record, that I would not include the patent references as that is what appears to be causing the interpretation by editors that I am somehow try to Vindicate myself. Even when I provided Newswire Press Release verified information, which I can send you via e-mail and you can find it easily on Lexis-Nexis, you will see that, that is not vindication at all, but a simple historical fact that SmartFolders was released in 1993 and I simply want the Virtual Folder definition to include Object Organizer as one of the early applications that included Virtual Folders. I keep getting the same response back, that I'm trying to vindicate, or that I'm trying to do something that I am telling you that I'm not trying to do. Isn't the purpose of Wikipedia to accurately reflect a Historical record based on verifiable information? That is all I'm asking for. To participate in, a fresh start if you will, of putting into place a Historical Record of fact. Do you want me to put it on another page? Perhaps that might help. I see no page for Smart_Folders. Google searches bring up Virtual Folder for Smart Folders. If that's what you need me to do then I'll do it. If an Editor closes this thread, I politely ask that you refer me to the Arbitration Editors so they can review that I'm doing my sincere best to cooperate.}}
 * Your request for unblocking has now been reviewed by four different administrators, who have all told you the same thing: I do not think that a fifth review of your request will be a productive use of administrator time, so I'm disabling this talk page. To try to say it one more way: there is no correct way to write about yourself on Wikipedia. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 03:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
